ions Win 82-56, Shatter Rec Hall Mark
Williams Scores 23, McMahan, 17
In Foul-Bogged Mountaineer Rout
A flashy pair of sophomore performers, Hardy Williams and
Jay McMahan, stole the show last night at Rec Hall as they led Penn
State's cagers to a rousing 8 . 2 '
to 56 win over a.stunned West. Virginia
b
team.
In tabbing their astronomical 82 points the Nittany offense
established a modern Rec Hall record ,before another well-filled
house of about 4600 fans.
For the Lions it marked a start
ling reversal of form over their
three previous showings in which
they sustained successive losses.
The win was State's tenth against
seyqn setbacks, while the Moun
taineers, playing , without the
benefit.of Coach Lee Patton, who
was injured in an automobile ac
'cident, were plucked for' their
ninth loss against ten wins.
62 FOULS
tocarfans witnessed the rough
'eSt fray-played on Nittany boards
this 'season as 62 - perspnal fouls
'enlivened an otherwise dull con
test.

_combined efforts of Williams and
the-. -6-foot 6-inch. .McMahan—in
the last minute-and-one-half of
the first half—catapaulted Penn
State from a nip -and-tuck 24 to
23 edge into a 12 , point, 38 to 26
intermission advantage.
From that point on the Moun
taineers couldn't do a thing right
and, as the Nittany score mount
ed into run-a-way proportions,
Coach Elmer Gross , cleared his
bench in order to give his second
stringers a •chancp.'
..After . Marty .Costa had given
'the Lions a 24 to 24 tie with a
foul shot„McMahan drove through
with three tap sfiots and a pair
of fouls. Williams . then rippled
on three . consecutive one-hand
shots to give - State .its command-,
ing half-time edge. .
