Lions Stage Rally To Upset Temple, 66-6
Lou Lamie, Joe Tocci Pace
Second Half State Comeback
Penn State did it the hard way last night. With close to 5000
screaming fans looking on, the Nittany Lions came back from almost
certain defeat with an unrelenting last-half surge to snatch a 66 to
61 victory from a classy Temple five.
There probably wasn't a person in Rec Hall who thought Penn
State had a chance of winning at half-time as the Owls combined a
grinding all-around attack with a tight man-to-man to take a 33 to
20 lead.
Chased from their usual zone into a strange man-to-man de-
fense, it didn't take the Lions
long to begin their second-half
climb up the hill.
TEMPLARS SURGE BACK
Paced by Lou Lamie, Joe Tocci,
Lee Schisler and Jay McMahan,
who replaced Marty Costa after
the big pivot man had fouled out
with 10 minutes still to play, the
Lions finally went ahead on a
reverse-English layup shot by
Lamie with about nine minutes
remaining.
However, the Templars surged
back on two consecutive twin
deckers by Bill Mlkvy to tie the
fray at 55-apiece with a little over
four minutes to go.
Penn State had to make its
point and their lucky "Little Joe'
came through for them with a
perfect set shot after which, Jack
Storer and Lamie split nine points
to give the Lions their upset win.
IKE SETS RECORD
Six-foot seven-inch Ike Bor
savage broke an all-time Temple
one season scoring mark as his
25 points for the night aided him
in eclipsing Nelson 'Nitsy' BDbb's
previous high of 342 'set in 1948.
Big Ike needed 15 points to set
the record before the game be
gan. By scoring ten field goals
arid 5 foul .shots Borsavage also
tied the Rec Hall opponent record
previously held by Ed Brett,
formerly of Colgate.
By winning their 11th game
against 8 defeats the '5O Lions be
came the first Penn State team
since 1943 to post more than. ten
wins in one season.
