Top Colgate
For Third,
Arnelle-33
By DICK McDOWELL
Showing the most spectacu
lar display of offensive basket
ball that Rec Hall fans have
ever seen, Penn State swept
to a record-breaking 110-75
victory over Colgate Univer
sity last night, winning its
37th straight home game and
third of the season.
Spearheaded by center Jesse
Arnelle, and guards, Ron Wei
denhanuner and Bob Hoffman.
the Lions broke a close contest
into a scare-happy melee that
topped the Penn State scoring rec
ord of 105 points set in 1953
against Ithaca.
Arnelle, a strong contender for
all-American honors, used his
sweeping hook shot to account
for most of 33 points he scored.
Hoffman accounted for 22 points
and Weidenhammer hit for 20
more as the Nittanies connected
with 45 field goals for a 42 per
cent shooting average.
But for most of the first half
the snarce crowd that stood cheer
ing for the century mark at the
end, had plenty to worry about.
The scrappy Red Raiders who now
own a 3-2 record, stayed toe-to
toe with John Egli's Lions until
well after the mid-point of the
half.
But they eventually cracked tin
der the Nittany pressure man-for
man defense and peppering of
fense. The lead changed hands
eight times in the first 14 minutes
before the Lions moved ahead to
stay.
Then with less than two minutes
to play reserve forward Bob Ram- ,
sey dropped a field goal from
underneath for the Lions' lout
point climaxing a scoring drive
that seemed inevitable from the
mid-point of the half. Weiden
hammer pushed in his ninth field
goal of the night seconds later
to break the record.
At the outset, though, it looked
as if the teams were destined to
go down to the final whistle be
fore the outcome would be de
cided. But Arnelle's controlling
rebound work and a concentrated
fast-breaking game made the dif-.
ference. Capitalizing on both, the
Nittanies moved ahead shortly af
ter the half and increased their
lead to 89-62 at the 10-minui-2
mark of the second half.
The contest opened fast and
both teams scored evenly through
the first 10 minutes. Arnelle's hook
put the Lions ahead 2-0 and Col
gate's Bill Johnson tied the count
with a set. Center Jack Nichols
tallied on a jump shot and foul
point following Earl Fields push
to move the Raiders ahead, 7-4.
Weidenhammer and Fields kept
the Lions in step and Arnelle's
layup tied the count at 16-16 at
the seven-minute mark. Nichols
o` - n;ri %?nd then Hoffman scored
from the foul line and added two
more of a steal to give Penn State
a 19-18 lead.
The lead changed hands rapidly
until six minutes remained in the

I-TIOH SCORING cfasiThil, Jesse Arnelle, cuts'loosn with one of
his patented hook shots during Penn State's surprising 110-75 win
over Colgate last night at Rec Hall, The Lion cager was the eve
ning's highest scorer with a 33-point output. It was the Nittany
Lions' 37th consecutive victory on the Rec Hall boards.
Freshmen Gagers Romp
To 72-38 Win over JV's
A well-organized freshman basketball team hitting from all
parts of the court ran roughshod over the JaYVees, 72-38, in the pre
liminary game at Rec Hall last night. Using a fast break-away of
fense, the frosh hit on 18 out of 34 field goals in the first half to
register an early lead which they never relinquished.
Combining the patented set - shots of Don Chapman and the one-
handed pushes of Steve Baidy, the
frosh five scored eight points be
fore the JV's even broke into the
scoring column. Chapman swished
lour set shots through the hoop
before the half ended.
Showing impressive team work
and a tremendous scoring punch,
the frosh five demonstrated its
ability under the backboards to
completely dominate play
throughout both halves.
Except for a few scoring splur
ges, the JV's were ineffective as'
they hit on only 13 goals, five
less than the frosh made in the I
first half alone. Bob Leisher and
Mike Rohrbach led the JV team
with eight points apiece.
Using a full court press, the
freshmen held their opponents
to a scant 18 points in the first
half, as they picked up 39. Wally
Mrasz was the defensive play
maker for the frosh with a number
of timely pass interceptions and
large number of ball steals.
The freshmen slowed their pace
in the second half as the reserves
went into action. Nick Musslin
led the team with nine points in
the second half before the JV's
finally stopped him and began
some scoring of their oWn.
With Jim Moore scoring on an
easy lay up, the JV's picked up
6 fast points as Rohrbach and
Leisher followed with set shots
to throw a slight scare into the,
frosh for a few moments.
