TOM McMILLEN "CENTER" OF ATTENTION
If you are an avid basketball
fan and haven't heard of the
high school scoring ace Tom Mc-
Millen—SHAME ON YOU! ! The
6' 11" Center from Mansfield (Pa)
High •School has had quite a few
honors lately for a small-town
boy. Tom is featured on the cov
er of this week's (Feb. 16) issue
of Sport's Illustrated, was recog
nized by Frank McGee on the
NBC Sunday Evening News (Feb.
15), and broke the PIAA scoring
record of 3,174 points on Tuesday
evening, February 10.
In the past, Bib Tom has been
Sport magazine's "Teenage Ath
lete of the Month", Basketball
Yearbook's 1969 , -701 tap high
school center in the nation, Bas
etball magazine's leadii?g high
school player, and sought after by
many of the country's colleges
and universities since seventh
grade.
Not only does he have a season
average of 48.2 points per game
and a 77% from the floor, this
high school senior has maintain
ed an A average since receiving
one B seventh grade. It seems that
McMillen will be a M.D. first and
a hoopster second. Even though
some prospective colleges have
outstanding basketball programs,
he has eliminated them from his
list because of their weak pre
med programs. The field has
seemingly narrowed to Virginia,
North Carolina, Maryland, Duke,
and Kentucky. Many feel that
Tom will favor Maryland when
he signs in mid-April because he
is familiar with the school. His
brother, Jay, is Maryland's sec
ond all-time leading scorer, and
Tom saw many of Jay's games
from the team's bench.

Maryland's coach, Lefty Drie
sell, obviously would really be
glad to have McMillen. He said,
"His (McMillen's) touch is amaz
ing. He can hit from anywhere on
the court." Other coaches are
beating a path to the door of the
McMillens' house. Adolph Rupp,
the grand patriach of college bas
ketball, flew in the University of
Kentucky jet through a snow
storm just to see Tom play. Yet,
Red Auerbach, ex-Boston Celtics
Coach has some advice for the
boy who is probably the most
sought-after player in the so
called basketball factories. There
you are under extreme pressure
from the minute you step on
campus."
We'll - just have to wait and see
what Tom does. In the meantime,
McMillen will probably lead Class
C Mainsfield High School to their
second consecutive State Class B
Championship. If he continues
'his average, he will wind up a fan
tastic career with over 3,660
points. This would rank him
among the greatest scorers in na
tional high school history and
wiould continue his comparison
with Lew Alcindor and Wilt
Chamberlain.
NOTE: If anyone is interested
in hearing a tape of the game in
which McMillen broke Don
Krick's scoring record early in
the final period, please contact
Patsy Wheatley.
Basketballers
Beat Beaver
The Behrend Basketball team.
didn't have any trouble defeating
Beaver Campus again 102-76. It
wasn't a very spectacular game,
but four of the Cubs hit the dou
ble figures in scoring. They were
Gary Boroway with 23, Dan Por
ith with 22 in his best game,
Doug Zimmerman with a consist
ant 21, and Mike Hook with 17.
The Cubs did have foul diffi
culty in the first half which ham
pered Behrend's terrific zone press
and forced them to apply only
"Token" pressure on the Big
Beavers. By the end of the game
everyone was in foul trouble. Rob
Schweitzer lead in rebounds with
14, followed by Zimmerman with
13.
Coach Malkin has done a fine
job in molding the Cubs into a
fine ball club. This was the Bth
victory in a row for them boosting
their record up to 12-6 with 2
games left this week against Du
'Bois and Fayette on Friday and
Saturday. It has been pretty
tough on these road. games, but
Malkin has a well-balanced team
which has the _attitude to win.
Next weekend the team will play
in the Commonwealth Campus
Tourney at University Park.

The Curcio Chargers were de
feated in the last 2 minutes of
their basketball game with Villa
Maria by a score of 39-26.
First quarter action left the
Chargers behind 15-4. At half
time they scored 7 points to Villa
Maria's 3 but were still behind
18-11. Then with 2 minutes left
in the game and the Chargers
down by 6, the Villa team threw
in a full court press to clinch the
game 39-26. The Chargers fouled
the wrong girl and she really
knew how to smoke the ball in.
High scores for Behrend were
Debbie Carlson with 10 points,
Diane Rossman and Leanne ZotH
ter each with 6.
Miss Curcio was very pleased
with the enthusiastic crowd in
Erie Hall and she hopes to see
them again when her Chargers
will play Villa again on March
4, at Villa Maria.

FINAL ANALYSIS
Bowling—Tie for third
Chess—Third
Table Tennis—Second
All teams were very much in
the running for first place right
up to the last match. Behrend was
well represented and the final re
sults are not a true indication of
their abilities.
SPORTS VIEWS -cg-
The New York Knicks are leading the NBA East by 7 games
over Milwaukee .. . The Knicks are 51-13, the Bucks are 44-20 . . .
These two teams have the best centers in the East, Most Valuable
Player candidate Willis Reed, and Rookie of the year Lew - Alcindor
. . . Wes Unseld of third place Baltimore (39-25) is excellent ex
cept for scoring, but the Bullets have other people to score points
. . . Wes is the best in the league for starting fast breaks after he
gets a rebound . . New York has the deepest bench and second
year Milwaukee has one of the youngest • clubs . . . At the .500 mark
is fourth place Philadelphia . . . The 76ers are inconsistent, but they
do own two 159 point
,games this year . . . These four teams should
stay about the same, putting New York vs. Baltimore and Phila
delphia vs. Milwaukee, an interesting set up for the first series of
playoff games . . . Cincinnati and Boston are 9 games below .500
. . . Detroit is 15 games below .500 . . . The latter three teams are
trying to rebuild, Boston developing young players, Cincinnati, a
general shakeup (especially if Oscar Robinson is traded) after Lu
cas was traded, and Detroit . . . Detroit is Detroit, talent there but
disappointing seasons . . . Two teams head the Western division
and will battle for first place to the -end . . . Atlanta, a team of
good players but no superstar, leads with a 37-29 record . . . Los
Angeles, with 3 superstars on their roster, are 35-29 . . . Only Jerry
West is enjoying an outstanding as iripaign, as he leads the league
in scoring, averaging 31.6 points per game . . Third place Chicago
and Phoenix sport 29-37 records . . . Chicago has presented new
scorers, such as Bob Love and. Chet Walker, and could make third
place without their best player, Jerry Sloan, who is injured . . .
Second year Phoenix is in playoff position also, the Suns getting
mileage out of Connie Hawkins and others . . . Fifth place belongs
to the Seattle Supersonics, 26 wins and 37 losses . . . Injury riddled
San Francisco is now 26-38, or sixth place . . . A feud between stars
Elvin Hayes and Don Kojis has been a major factor to the San Di
ego Rockets downfall . . . They are in the basement with a 21-39
record . . . Look for a battle with Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and
San Francisco or Phoenix to finish the regular season in that or
der, putting Atlanta vs. •Chicago and Los Angeles vs. San Francisco
or Phoenix in the playoffs.
Cubs Shut-out By
Clarion Grapplers
The word "Clarion" always
meant trouble for the Belirend
Cub wrestlers in the past. This
statement still holds true today,
for last Saturday afternoon Clar
ion was double trouble wiping out
the Cubs 44-0.
Although Clarion wrestled their
3rd string against the Behrend
ites, their depth is tremendously
strong. Bill Groner had a lot of
problems with Larry Strong, a
PIAA Champ in his high school
days, losing 7-3; however he did
wrestle a good match as always.
Another good competitive match
was Paul Vaughn and Lou Eratt.
Paul blew it by spending the first
period on his back and lost 10-7.
Garson's match against Charles
Burke left Tom on his back in the
3rd. Garson was losing 5-0 in the
first when he tied it up with a
reversal and a near fall. In the
2nd period Tom rode Burke out.
The 3rd was fatal to Garson as he
tried to put a cradle on Burke
and he slipped and got pinned.
Overall, the Cubs were over
powered by the always strong
Clarion team.

Tonight and tomorrow Coach
Onaroto will take Paul Vaughn at
142 and Tom Garson at 158 to
the Regional Tournament in New
Jersey. Onaroto elected not to
take Bill Groner after a subjec
tive analysis. He said that the
wrestler's ability is only one cri
teria in choosing the tournament
wrestlers.
After the tournament the Cubs
will play Dußois again and. then
the Commonwealth Campus tour
nament will follow at University
Park.
