PAGE SIX Cagers Look for Rebound Wi Tourney-Bound Lions Face Rutgers on Road Tonight Tournament-bound Penn State will attempt to shake off the sting of two blistering weekend losses tonight when it meets Rutgers University at New Brunswick, N.J. The Lion quintet will face the Scarlet in its final road encounter of the regular 25-game schedule. The Lions, whose third bid to the National Collegiate basketball championships in four years came simultaneously with their 83-60 shellacking at Syracuse Saturday, move into the contests with a 15-7 record while the Scarlet own a dismal 2-18 mark. And this time its a sure bet that center Jesse Arnelle will pass the 2000-point scoring total. He needs only three points tonight to reach that figure. Arnelle was expected to reach the magic total during the weekend swing. He needed only 31 points in the two games with Colgate and Syracuse but accounted for only 28. He hit for 19 points in the Lions’ 69-59 loss to Colgate Fridayand scored nine against the Orange. That figure, incidentally, was the lowest for the big guy in four years of play. Orange Avenge Lions The hopped-up Syracuse quin tet, loaded with sophomore talent that is beginning to find itself af ter a very slow beginning, led the Lions the whole way Satur day, avenging an earlier trounc ing at the hands of John Egli’s passers in Rec Hall. Forward Jim Brown and guard Vince Cohen, instrumental in the Orange’s late rise that has brought them victories over Niagara and Holy Cross, led Syracuse to its seventh win. Brown tallied 25, 10 while he led the fast break, points and Cohen added another Guard Ron Weidenhammer top ped the Lion scorers with 11, and Rudy Marisa also collected 11. Only three games remain for the Lions before they begin tourn ament play. After Rutgers, the Nittanies will come home to battle Pitt Saturday night and will wind up the regular season against Penn Wednesday. Two Teams Unnamed Only two members of the four team entry have been selected for the Lions’ opening bracket in the NCAA eliminations. Penn State and Marquette have each received at-large bids and will join two others at Lexington, Ky., March 8. The Mid-American Conference winner—possibly Miami of Ohio —will fill one other position, and another at-large entry will com plete the selections. Notre Dame and Loyola of Chicago have both been mentioned as possible en tries. The two winners at the play offs in Lexington will -move to Northwestern University to help fill one section in the eastern re gional playoffs. The entire 24- team field of the sprawling na tional tournament is expected to be completed this week as con ference play winds up for the sea son.

Sigma Nu Wins League F Title In IM Action Five independent and four fra ternity games were played Mon day in one of intramural basket ball’s most exciting' nights. Sigma Nu became the first team to capture its league title by smashing Alpha Epsilon Pi, 30-17. Once again Ed Ritter led the win ners to their eighth straight con quest with 15 points. Theta Xi, IM’s Cinderella team, needs only one more victory to sew up League E. Pi Kappa Al pha, the last major team to stand in Theta Xi’s way, led 17-11 at the half.

Theta Xi now owns a 7-0 slate while defending champs, Phi Sig ma Delta, and SAE are the runner ups with one loss apiece. Theta Xi’s last game is against Delta Theta Sigma, (2-4), March 7th.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Gymnasts to Meet Pitt Tonigk Penn State’s gymnastic squad tries for its second win within four days when it meets the Pitt Panthers at Pittsburgh tonight. The charges of coach Gene Wettstone, fresh from a 50-46 win over the Cadets from West Point, are hunting for their third straight victory this year, being defeated only by Il linois, 66-62. They had previously beaten West Virginia, in the sea son’s opener. Pittsburgh is expected to pro vide the stiffest opposition for the Nittany Lions since the Illi nois match, and to hold their Eastern lead the Lions must pull through with a victory. In Saturday night’s meet with Army the Lions faced heavily favored opposition, and Jike de fefiding champions came through with a resounding victory. Tak ing advantage of their opponents’ breaks, the Nittanies turned in a superior performance. It was the final event that de cided the victor, for State held only a slim 41-40 lead going into the flying rings. Karl Schwenz feier, Hugh Cline, and Bill Mar shall were the three Nittany en tries in the event. Diminutive Schwenzfeier came through with a smashing 273 points to take first place and give Penn State the meet. In other events Skeets Haag set a new Lion record when he scaled the rope in 3.5 seconds. The rope was supposed to be a Cadet spe cialty.
