P Lou Lamie 22 Point Output Gives lamie Ind Penn State Mark By ERNIE MOORE Basketball' Captain Lou Lamie added another laurel to his ever increasing collection Monday night when. he broke the Penn State one-season scoring; record by tabbing 22 points against West Vir,ginia. Penn State's "Mr. Basketball" raised his season mark to 308 noints, 9 more than Marty Costa's record 299 points last season.. Lamie now holds two Nittany scoring records, having set the three-year record last month. at Pittsburgh. He now has scored 655 points for Lion cage teams. Foul Out Hurts The Lion jump -shot artist missed his' chance at the other major Penn State record, the one game mark, when he fouled out of the West Virginia game with eight minutes left in the game. He will have but one more chance to make a "grand slam" of the Penn State records. The Lions play their final game of the season tonight against Penn in Philadelphia. Lamie, a senior in the School of Physical Education and Ath letics, will play his last basket ball game in a Penn State uni form tonight. 'Hesitation-Shot' Expert The scoring of the Arnold, Pa. product has been the highlight of a better-than-average season for Coach Elmer Gross' courtmen. The master of a one-handed jump shot that is difficult to stop, and an expert feinter, Lamie is said by many to be one of the greatest players ever to don a basketball uniform for Penn State. Always consistant scorer for the Lion courtmen, Leapin' Lo u amassed his three-yeat record with 98 points in his sophomore year, 249 last yead as a junior; and up to tonight's contest, 308 this season. In breaking the one-season mark, Lamie became the first Penn State player to score 300 points in a single season. The Nittany captain will be out to build. on both the three-year and the one-year marks tonight against Penn. Although the game will be his , last for State, Lamie will have the satisfaction of know ing that every time he scores a point against the Quakers, he will be breaking two Penn State records—and his own at that.

Annual Improvement It took the human top, beaten only once in the, past two years, three appearances in the state high school tourney to finally capture title honors.

Last year it appeared that he would be able to break the three year routine when, as the Eastern championships drew near. the Lancaster, Pa. tumbler stood head and shoulder 'above his competi tors. But the playful, care free Rudy complicated things somewhat by playing leap-frog with a fire-hy drant in Philadelphia the night before a meet with Temple.
