From the moment when sopho
mm e Dick Grimes tossed in a beau
tiful two-pointer in the games ini
tial minute, the outcome of Tues
day's contest was never in doubt
The Nittany offense was hitting on
all five cylinders, and sparked by
Johnny Ban's foul buckets the loc
als swept to a decisive 24-15 half
way count
Vaunted Temple sharpshooting
showed up to better advantage in
the second half as Don Henderson,
Bob Nichol, Angelo Musi, and
Mendy Snyder began to hit the
hoop Midway in the period Hen
derson dumped in five successive
Owl points to cut the Lion lead to I
35-30, but Elmer Gross and Norm
Racusm Caine back with field goals I
and the Temple i ally faded
Barr. Henderson Domsnate
ITwo outstanding men dominated
the contest cool, rugged, depend
able Johnny Barr and Temple cap
tain Don Henderson, tall, clever
cente , Both scored 16 points to
tie for scoring honors, and both
were the key men of their respec
tive outfits
The locals displayed magnificent
defensive work in harnessing the
Owls, with Captain Cliff McWil
liams featuring on backboard re
coveries Playing as an efficient
unit, the Lion quintet showed plen
ty of fire and all-around form
Only Scotty Moffatt, handicapped
