Egli Leads Attack
With 12 Counters
Special to the Collegian
NEW ORLEANS, March 20—
Penn State’s bid for the coveted
NCAA basketball championship
was halted abruptly here tonight
gs Dartmouth’s Big Green court
men snripped the Lions’ 12-game
winning streak, 44-39, in a close
battle staged on the Tulane Uni
versity hardwood.
Although their chances of win
ning the national diadem were
blasted, the Nittanymen will meet
Illinois in a consolation tilt to
morrow night. Illinois, a big fav
orite to cop the Eastern Regional
crown, was upset by Kentucky,
46-44, in the second and final
game on tonight’s card.
But for a brief moment in the
early part of the game, the Lions
were never ahead. The Big Green
jumped away to a 1-0 edge on a
foul toss and the Nittanymen re
taliated on the Seine count to
deadlock the score, 1-1. Dart
mouth added the initial field goal,
but the Nittanymen, led by Elmer
.Gross and John Egli, came right
back with two field tosses to give
the Lawthermen, a 5-3 edge.
Failure to capitalize on rebound
shots spelled defeat for the Lions,
however, as the Big Green cagers
shot into the lead- which they
never relinquished. The remaind
er of the first half 'was a fairly
close battle and as the teams left
the floor at halftime, Dartmouth
had widened the margin to 22-16.
Nittany hopes brightened in the
early minutes of the second half
as the Lion attack caught fire mo
mentarily. A jump-up by Egli
under the goal initiated the rally,
and for a few brief moment it
appeared as if the Lions had found
