As the Cub went to press, the
basketballers from B. C. held a
respectable 2-3 won-lost record in
the Pennsylvania Junior College
Athletic Association's league play.
And with over half of its basket
ball schedule completed, there is
still remaining a chance for the
boys from B. C. to take all the
marbles.
Entering our fourth game of the
season at Jamestown, N. Y., the
B. C. five were turned back by the
tune of 25 points, losing the game
by the score of 84-59. Dave Niel
son was high scorer with 18 points.

Following suit, again defeat
showed. its outstretched hand and
shook with the B. C. five. This time
it took place in Erie Hall, and Mid-
land Commerce, a team that has
scored over one-hundred points in
each of its first three games, scored
a total of 83 points to a 71 count
for .Behrend. Dave Nielson was
high man with 22 points.
As mentioned before, Behrend
has captured two wins, and both of
these victories have come at the
expense of- one team—Dußois. On
December 16, Santa came early and
gave us 51 lollipops and Dußois
just,49. This second win kept us in
contention for the crown, as well
as providing the home town
crowd with an exciting basketball
game. High scorer was Dave Niel
son with 16 markers.
On the following day, December
17, it took a last second shot by
Sheridan of Altoona to defeat
B. C: Although leading the whole
game, Behrend lost on this last
second shot by the score of 55-53.
Playing our eighth game at Mc-
Keesport, the boys from B. C.
played one of their roughest games
of the 19604961 basketball season.
This eighth game included every
thing from the lead switching
hands, time upon time, to players
hitting the hardwood floor.. And in

THE NITTANY CUB
State, Basketball And Dumars
By DON DETISCH
Penn State's cage-men opened
their regular season of play
against the Terps of Maryland. •
The sting of defeat, however,
was forgotten when the Blue and
Whiters rudely dumped highly
rated Purdue by a score of G 3-59.
The main reason for Dishinger's
poor play, as• well as Purdue's de
feat, was a 5'10" backcourt wizard
named Mark Dumars. Dumars,
State's All-American candidate,
employed a variety of shots in ex
hibiting his prowess as a marks
man_ Playing a razzle-dazzle type
of basketball, Dumars proved his
worth as an All-American and a
real crowd-pleaser. In the last
minutes of the game, when it was
necessary for State to freeze the

ball ; Dumars, taking command,
demonstrated sensational ball
handling and dribbling which
caused the Purdue five to consis
tently foul him and his teammates.
At one point in the game, Purdue
had as many as four men guarding
the "Mark" and yet he threaded
his way through the defense, con
tinuing to score. The terms grand
stand exhibitionist and ,Mark Du
mars became synonymous, and
throughout the game Dumars kept
the contest on a humorous note by
his blase and cocky style of play
which, nonetheless, never out
weighed his terrific skill. All who
saw the game are confident that
the "Mark" will succeed in his bid
for an All-American berth.
