Marisa and Bob Hoffman combined to give the Lions a four point halftime lead us Marisa hit on two fielders and Hoffman con nected on a long set to make the score 39-35. The game looked like it was go ing to be a duplication of the Lions' four previous away-from home appearances as the West Pointers immediately knotted the game as the second half got un der way. But the Nittanies' zone defeme halted the Black Knight's late rally. The lead exchanged hands several times during the period and with only two -min utes remaining, the Lion cagers owned a two-point lead, 60-58.

(Continued on page seven) LOCKS FAMOUS HISTORIC RESTAURANT THE HISTORY OF MORE THAN A CENTURY AND THE FINEST FOOD OF TODAY 217 E. Water St. Lock Haase: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1956 Risk Skein Navy Star goes into the meet with a 6-0 card. The Lion star missed the first two meets of the season be cause he was a second semester freshman. According to reports from Navy, McNutt ran away with first place honors in each of his six meets. Vega, since joining the team for the Syracuse meet, has also per formed brilliantly on the bars. He won against Army lest week with 274 points highest individual score of the meet. Wayne Wills and Ken Bortz, who also have consistently broken into the scoring column for the Middies, are expected to join Mc- Nutt in the parallel bars. FohL Weissend in P-Bars Wettstone will probably call on the rapidly improving Bob Foht and junior Dion Weissend to round out the Lion entries in the event. Wettstone is hopeful that Weis send will regain some of his early season spark for Saturday's en counter. Weissend performed in a brilliant fashion in the Lions' first two meets of the season but hit a slump against Syracuse which he has not been able to shake loose. Strongest in Rings Navy's strongest event is prob ably the flying rings where East cm Intercollegiate champion Lar ry White tops the Middie entries. White has been one of the high est scorers on the squad and he, along with teammates Fred Heor ner and Mike Elinski, give Navy a stronger rings entry than Army who swept the first three places against the Lions last Saturday. Wettstone will probably call on Vega, sophomore Ed Sidwell, and either Captain Tony Cline or Mar io Todaro in hopes of overcoming the Navy advantage in the rings. Rope Climb Important The rope climb where Navy entries have placed one, two, three in each meet thus far—may be another key event in deciding the final outcome of the meet. The Lions have had their ups and downs in this event for the past two weeks. Phil Mullen, the top Nittany rope climbing entry, scaled the 20-foot rope in 3.6 sec onds against Syracuse but dropped to 3.9 against Army. Leroy Fritch and Bob Etoureau —whom Wettstone describes as being long overdue for good per formances--will probably be the two other Lion entries in the climb. Navy's top rope climber, Herb Doby, has been winning firsts with times of 3.8 seconds while Tom Northam and Bud Bowers have been consistently perform ing around the 4.0 second mark. Have Depth in H-Bar Both squads have solid depth in the horizontal bar, but each lacks a consistent performer capable of garnering a sure first or second place. Tom Butterfield has been the top man on the high bar for the Middies, winning four first places in six meets. Chuck Kettles, and Otto Zipf, along with Ed Wooten are listed ,as other possible entries for Coach .Chet Phillips charges. 1 HERE'S Jack Wimmer's Feb.
