Capitol Smothered by
Spring Garden, 79-57
by Mark Israel
Last Friday night, the Capitol
Campus Lions lost. Boy, did
they lose!
There were soundly beaten
by the Spring Garden Bobcats
for the second time this season,
this time by a score of 79-57.
Despite the lopsided score,
there were some exciting
moments for Lions fans. Like
the great leaping ability of Paul
Hook, who tied with Bob
Lambert for the team game
honors--twelve points each.
Then, there was Lambert's
binge early in the second half,
when he scored eight straight
points in 1:35 to bring Captiol
within five. Then there was
Hook cutting it to three, 43-40,
34 seconds later. Then there
was...
Then there was Spring
Garden. The Bobcats dominated
the game and the Lions worse
than any team has this year.
Although the game was close
through most of the first half,
Spring Garden, led by high
scorer Joe Billec, outscored
Capitol 14-2 in the last 6:50 of
the half to open a 38-24 lead.
Billec had eight of those
fourteen points.

The second half saw the
Lions and Lambert get hot early,
and cut the lead to 43-40. But
that was as close as they got.
Led by Billec, and the pinpoint
passing of flashy Ernie Strange,
the Bobcats built their lead to
5141.
Their lead remained near 10
until the 6:40 mark. Then, an
errant inbounds pass was
intercepted by Billec, who took
it in for an easy layup.
That made the score 60-47,
and cracked the Lions back.
From there on, it was just a
matter of playing out the game
until the final buzzer.
In all fairness to the Lions,
while admitting that they were
outplayed, the score shouldn't
have been as lopsided as it was.
The Lions were the victims of
the worst officiating this side of
the National Basketball
Association. To give a perfect
illustration, Spring Garden made
almost twice as many foul shots
as the Lions took. Spring Garden
got 27 shots from the line and
made 17, while Capitol got only
9, making but 3. While the
officiating didn't lose the game,
it certainly made the rout.

Lebanon Valley Squeaks
Past Lions, 58-56
by Mark Israel
Anville Pa.--Coming off their
worst performance of the season
less than 24 hours earlier, a
weary, depressed Capitol
Campus basketball team
travelled here for a game with
the Dutchmen of Lebanon
Valley.
In sharp contrast to Friday
night's game with the Spring
Garden Bobcats, however, they
played probably their best game
of the season.
The final score was Lebanon
Valley 58, Capitol Campus 56.
But, under no circumstances
should the Lions feel ashamed of
their performance.
The game was a preliminary
contest to the Lebanon Valley
varsity game against Widener
College for the championship of
the Middle Atlantic Conference
Southern Division.
Consequently, they played
before a packed house of about
1500 avid Lebanon Valley
rooters. They gave the crowd a
game to talk about for quite
awhile.
The Lions came out
determined to erase the
memories of the previous night's
debacle, and with a balanced
scoring attack built a 16-7 lead
after seven minutes.
The Dutchmen, led by high
scorer Jim Schoch, drew back to
within one at 23-22 with 4:39
left to play in the half. From
there, both teams played good,
tough basketball and halftime
saw the Lions out in front
32-28.
In the second half, Capitol
continued to play a tough 1-3-1
zone defense, but the offense
sputtered and Lebanon Valley
took a 34-32 lead.
Finally, after 3:32, Tommy
Ogden, the game's leading scorer
with 26 points, got the Lions
going again. He kept them going
by scoring 14 of these 26 in the
second half, and by playing the

point on the zone defense
flawlessly. In just 40 minutes he
bacame a favorite of the
capacity crowd with his fast
break layups. However, a tough
Dutchmen defense helped open
up a 46-40 lead at the 8:52 mark
of the second half.
Ogden led the Lions
comeback and 2:44 later the
score was tied at 46. The score
was tied three more times at
48,50, and 52 as the teams
continued to trade baskets. But
the Lions were in trouble as Jim
Merino and Bob Lambert both
fouled out. With Rich Schropp
away and Armond Magnelli
out with an ankle injury, they
had to rely on Pat Bentley and
Rick Kopko to fill the bill. Both
did so, admirably. They hustled
and helped keep the game close.
With the Lions ahead 54-52,
Craig Koffel converted a three
point play to give the Dutchmen
ahead 55-54 with 1:19 to go.
Schoch hit one shot of a one and
one situation with 51 seconds
left to make the score 56-54.
With 24 seconds left, Ogden put
it in to tie the score at 56. The
Dutchmen carefully played for
the ideal shot. It came.
With five seconds to play,
Schoch put up a ten footer. He
missed, and the ball rolled off
the rim right into the hands of
big Mike Kovunyk, who layed it
up and in with two seconds left
for the winning basket.
So the Lions lost 58-56. More
importantly, though, they
proved themselves as a team.
They came back from a
disappointing performance to
play their finest game of the
season against a good Lebanon
Valley team.
In addition, they did it on a
night which saw Horace
Cameron filling in for coach Al
Williams, whose mother is in the
hospital. I'm sure Williams would
have been pleased with the Lions
performance Saturday night in
Annville.
