Season winds down

Capital Times Staff
The Penn State Harrisburg men's
basketball team owns a 10-11 record
with three games remaining. In order for
the Lions to make the NAIA District 19
playoffs, they must have a .500 record or
better.
The squad played at Alvernia last
night, plays Capitol College of
Maryland at home tonight, and rounds at
the season Monday, Feb 18. at
Misericordia.
Here is a summary of the spring
semester games:
PSH69 York College 73
The Lions controlled the game
throughout, but a late York run proved
costly for the Lions in this road loss.
Mike Watts led the Lions with 27
points, and Eddie Miller added 15.
PSH 74 Philadelphia Pharmacy 73
Penn State defeated last season's
District 19 champs in the CUB despite
trailing by four points at halftime.
James Truhe led all scorers with 24
points, and Miller contributed 17.

IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE
NCAA TO HOLD ITS ANNUAL
SPRING FORMAL. The NCAA
tournament tips-off in mid-March and as
crunch time approaches, one team reigns
king of the mountain. UNLV, head and
shoulders above the rest of the college
basketball world, is ready to repeat, and
their thrashing of Arkansas in the
Barnhill Arena last Sunday made me a

look for a Duke-UNLV rematch at the
final four.

the Final Four three of the last four
years.

three-point shooting contest was the
usual bore, unless Larry Bird was in it of

the Charlotte arena with an arsenal of

ability of Spud Webb and the power of
Dominique Wilkins.
THE MOST MEANINGLESS STAT
IN FOOTBALL, the time of possession,
suddenly became the most meaningful
during Super Bowl XXV. The Giants
hogged the ball up just enough to keep
Jim Kelly and the ever-explosive Bills
offense strolling the sidelines. The
Giants defense was tough when it needed

PSH 85 Beaver 63
Beaver College was no match for the
Lions as PSH captured a conference
victory on the road. Watts poured in 23
to go with Truhe's 19.
PSH 73 Columbia Union 82
The Lions jumped out to a big early
lead, but the home court proved to be a
big advantage for C.U. They sank their
free-throws late in the game
extinguishing any Lion run. Watts
scored 24, and Tom Strohm chipped in
with 14.
PSH 49 Holy Family 72
The Lions came out flatter than a
pancake as Holy Family manhandled the
Lions in the CUB. Watts and Miller
combined for 31 points.
PSH 80 Wilmington 69
Bouncing back from the Holy Family
nightmare, the Lions defeated
Wilmington College at home. Watts led
all scorers with 25, and Tom Strohm
finished with 16.
PSH 61 Millersville 83
The highly-touted Millersville
Marauders defeated the Lions but not
without a battle. The Lions trailed by 10
throughout but could never cut the lead
baseball salaries escalate
to be, and the Bills defense just flat out
got tired. Too bad all of the Super Bowls
don't warrant the title that this game
rightfully earned.

AN INTERESTING SITUATION
CONCERNING the status of the New
York Giants quarterback situation. After
Jeff Hostetler led the Giants to a Super
Bowl victory, Phil Simms may be
packing his bags. That's all right,
though. Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelcrs
will trade Bubby Brister and Tim Worley
for Simms.

PSH 74 Neumann 65
Neumann College couldn't stop the
hot hand of Watts who had 27 to go
with 16 from Strohm.
PSH 71 Capitol College 63.
The scoring duo of Watts and Truhe

In a rematch between District 19

Despite a capacity crowd drawn in by a

tough with Watts and Miller combining
for 31.

The Lions couldn't buy a bucket, and
Neumann College scored when they

Truhe added 13.
