I NEW PRIVATE PARTY DOOM NOW AVAILABLE By LARRY BOECK The choice of Perm State as an N.C.A.A. tournament team was as much of a surprise to Adolph Rupp, apparently, as it was to many other people. And Der Baron didn't seem particularly delighted that his Kentucky Wildcats had drawn Penn State as a first round foe he had expected LaSalle, and perhaps St. Bonaventure, to be the at-large teams in the regional play at Raleigh, N.

March 21 and 22. Penn State will play and St. John's, a 41 -point victim of ILK. early this season, will oppose North Carolina State, the Southern Conference titleholder. "We're going to have to change our offense," said Rupp, after learning his Cats would meet Penn State.

With Moreman and Bobby Kimmel hitting two buckets apiece the first two times they shot, the Vikings grabbed an 8-0 lead. More-man led the way with six more points and Valley led 25-12 at the first quarter's end. Moreman was hurt shortly after the second quarter began as he dribbled over the center line. Attempting to pivot and pass off, he collided, not too hard, with a Creeker and twTisted his ankle.

Loyless Gets 23 From that point on, Les Loyless, scoring with a surprising assortment of shots, led the Viking attack. He finished as the biggest scorer of both games, getting 23 points. Valley led 44-23 at halftime and 56-30 at the third rest. Buddy Bunch came in after Moreman left and turned in an outstanding performance with 11 points. Bob Hearin, who spent most of the night at the free throw line, led Fern Creek with 13 points, nine on charity tosses.

"They play the zone defense," said Rupp. "They handle the ball deliberately and pass it around waiting for shots. That kind of a bunch can spell trouble for a fast-breaking, fast-moving team such as ours." 3 Men In Sector The zone defense, to put it as simply as possible, is one in which the defending team -plays the ball instead of the player, as in man-to-man. Normally, a team using the zone "overloads" an area of the court three men will play the sector and be on two offensive men, perhaps Cliff Hagan and Frank Ramsey, in Kentucky's case.
