SPORTS CORNER
There was plenty of action on
the TV tube this weekend for all
the roundball buffs. USC vs.
UCLA, number one vs. number
two, opened play Saturday night,
with the Bruins pulling a 64-60
victory. UCS threw a blanket on
the UCLA offense with their zone
defense that pestered the likes of
Wicks, Rowe and Patterson the
entire night. Meanwhile, Paul
Westphal and Mai Layton were
making believers out of those
who didn’t respect the Trojans,
including me, with some dazzling
offense. But the ‘ole master’,
Johnny Wooden was not to be
denied. With UCLA down by nine
Wooden called time out and
decreed to Sidney, Curtis and the
boys, that USC’s time had come,
and that was all she wrote for the
Trojans.
On Sunday afternoon, it was
Red Manning’s Duquesne Dukes
against the Wildcats of Villanova
or more appropriately, Pitt
sburgh vs. Philadelphia, for the
sake of the Perry Hall odd
smakers. So to speak! Well, it
was the Dukes this time, 87-78,
before a capacity crowd at the
Civic Arena and the Perry Hall
TV lounges; Duquesne won their
eleventh consecutive game and
ran their record to 15-2, at the
expense of Howard Porter and
cast. Porter could only manage 4
points on the 6’10” Nelson twins
while the Dukes pulled to an 8
point lead. In the second half

Doe, who played two years of
soccer at Behrend is now fencing
for the Penn State fencing team..

their opponets 76-62. Playing a
sluggish game, Behrend found

completely different story.
Behrend caught fire using a
hustling zone-press and out
