Tuesday,. February 21, 1983 Between the Lions with ' The Sports Editor A lot of discussion has been raised about this question of scheduling as a result of the seemingly poorly matched wrestling and basketball en- counters over the week-end. Espec- ially since economy demands that schedules be shortened, the teams that arc met should be able to provide in- teresting competition, many Lion fol- lowers have maintained. In all fair- ness to athletic officials,' the fact that both teams were from sizeable insti tutions that ordinarily • provide real f|jjhts must be considered. "The’only • lasting criterion those who'make out schedules can stand by is.the standing ,and importance of the opposing school in the intercollegiate sports world. Arid, those teams were far from representative of either Lafay ette or West Virginia. +. ♦ .+ * If is unfortunate that the freshmari basketball team picked a week-end on which so many visitors were 'present to put on its worst exhibition this year. Not only were both smoothness and strategy entirely lacking, but at times the game became so ragged that most, of the spectators were obviously bored. We feel there is plenty of promising material on the yearling squad. But the fiasco Saturday af ternoon hardly bears out this belief. + + + The suggestion of the P. I. A.

STCfIMEIEK ’3-I With the score leaning 31-to-8 in their favor, Lion courtmen, at the end of the first half of the West Virginia contest Saturday night, were ready to pack away the game on the well known ice. Surprisingly, however, the Mountaineers staged such a torrid second half rally, that the ice began' to melt. When the sound of the final gun eased" Recreation hall spectators, the count had diminished to a mere 43-to-33 Nittany advantage. , Baskets fell thick and fast every : minute of play. The Lion cagers stepped into the lead soon after'the starting whistle and stayed there for the remainder of the contest. Coach Leslie'waited until the Blue and White had piled up what seemed to be a.de cisive lead and then experimented with his second team. The substi tutes looked good as far as floorwork was concerned but they couldn't find the hoop. Scares Lions . It was ,then that Captain Wilbur Sortet of the Mountaineer school opened up and threw a scare into the Lion camp with a barrage of baskets that stunned the Nittany team. Back into the game scurried Leslie’s first club but the West Virginia captain was off on a scoring spree that re called his spectacular play in Recrea tion hall last year. He just couldn't be stopped! Aided by Stydahar,. Wilson, and Gower, the visitor’s leader pared down the Lion lend to ten points before the end of the game. Slate of the Gold team chalked up a point near the close of the game, and Fidler, besides playing an unusually close guarding tune, strummed the strings twice on charity shots. . For the second consecutive game, McMinn took scoring honors. Ed rang up five, field goals in the open ing session and managed to clear the hoop twice in the closing minutes of play. Henning had nine points ac cording to the final reckoning while McFarlane was credited-with eight.

But several other facts were brought out- -plainly Saturday. One of these is that the Lions are capable of playing an almost unbeatable game of ball (witness the first half), and another that the Mountaineers play an extreme brand of “ip'and out’ - ball which, in our estimation, never gets a team very far.'
