PAGE SIX Courtmen End NCAA Play; Lose in Consolation Tilt Penn State's basketball team returned from the NCAA. tourna ment at Raleigh, N.C. convinced that it isn't quite ready for big-time competition yet. After an 82-54 loss to Kentucky Friday night the Nittanies dropped a 69-60 consolation game to North Carolina State Saturday. One bright star in the Lions' dismal showing was the out= standing play of freshman center, Jesse Arnelle. The New Rochelle frosh scored 22 points against both the Wildcats and Wolfpack for a tourney total, of 44. This ;tied him with St. John's All- American Bob Zawoluk for two game scoring honors. Kentucky's Cliff Hagan was third with 42. ' Arnelle's 44 point production increased his season's output to 492, an average of 19 a game. This was an increase of 173 mark ers over the former record of 319 made by Lou Lamie last season. Letdown Hurts The two losses also dropped the Nittanies' season mark to 20.6, still best record in the school's history. Despite the lacing handed them by Kentucky most observers thought the Lions had enough to reboUnd against the Wolfpack. But a letdown by the team's three seniors was a blow to Coach El mer Gross' chances. Without scor ing balance to support Arnelle the Nittanies weren't the calibre of such stalwarts as St. John's and Kentucky. Gross started with a different lineup for the Lions. In fact the starting five was a preview of next year's team with no seniors in the lineup. The Lion mentor used Jack Sherry and Ron Weid enhammer at the guard positions, Arnelle, center, and Herm Sled zik and Ed Haag, forwards. Sherry Runnerup Sledzik, a junior, was the , only veteran in the starting array. Haag played a good floor game but fouled out in the second quarter. Sherry finished as runnerup to Arnelle in scoring with eight points. Chet Makarewicz, another junior, saw considerable service and, collected six points. Sherry continued to show im provement in both games of the tournament and scored 18 points to rank as State's second highest tourney scorer. Sledzik was third with 17. Nort _Carolina State abandoned its usual zone defense and used a full court press against State. Both fives started fast and it looked as if both were redhot after their disappointing games the previous night. Never Headed The first guar ter was high lighted by some brilliant shoot ing. The Wolfpack led at the end ,of the ten fast minutes by a 22-17 count. Captain Lee Terrill sank the first bucket and the Wolfpack was never headed. The contest was knotted at 2-2, 4-4, and 8-8, but' thereafter the Southerners led all the way. Sherry paced the Lions in the first quarter with six markers, while Arnelle had five. Arnelle made several outstanding over hand shots. Sledzik sank a one-hander at the onset of the second quarter to narrow the Wolfpack's edge to 29- 19. Coach Everett Case's dribblers then scored six consecutive points to move ahead 27-19. The Lions spurted with two baskets by Ar nelle and a set by Ed Haag to reduce the gap to 27-25, the clos est the Nittanies could get all night. Increase Lead A neat set shot by Arnelle near the end of the intermission set the score at 36-33, but the' Wolf pack quickly retaliated. Aft e r seven straight enemy points Ar nelle made a foul and Piorkowski a two pointer. The Wolfpack led 42-36 at halftime. Both sides slowed' in the third period, but the Wolfpack out scored the Lions, 12-9. The closest the Blue and White got was 43- 47. Three points moved the victors out of reach again. The Lions made one final burst for• victory in the last quarter. Trailing 60-49 the Nittanies ral lied to "threaten at .61-56. Co- By DAVE COLTON NCAA Crowd Lauds Lions' High Scorer By ERNIE MOORE Big Jesse Arnelle scored a hit with the avid basketball crowd which packed the North Carolina State Coliseum to Watch the NCAA playoffs last weekend. When-, Jesse fouled/ out in the game against Kentucky the crowd gave him a tremendous, ovation as he walked off the court.
