IP . . . Arnelie's 44 Sets New (i;omo High By DICK IvicDOWELL Bu.rknell basketball coach 'Ben Kribbs calls his shots per 7 fectly. The Bison mentor said befol - e the Penn State-Buck nell .lash at R.ec Hall that his team would have to stop big Jesse Arnelle, the slick Lion center, if he expected to beat the Lions. That trick they've been try ing to do for four years now, but the big smoothie from N T ew Rochelle, N.Y., just keeps rolling along. Last night he shat tered the Penn State one-game scoring mark for the second time this year • with a 44-point per formance that paved the way for a 94 7 45 victory over the otitclass ed Bisons, seventh win of the sea son for the Lions. But his first half scoring per formance was even more phenom enal. The 6-5 pivotman tossed 'n 30 of his 44 oefore the intermis sion and kept the Lions in front of the spnky Bisons, who event ually cracked when the remainder of the Nittany lineup began to find the shooting range in the second half. Arnelle, who now has 277 points in 10 games, also shattered the Penn State field goal record, con necting on 20 tries from the floor. He hit on 65 per cent of his shots and gathered in 21 rebounds off the boards. Rudy Marisa, Joe Hartnett, and Ron Weidenhammer all reached the double figures for the Lions, who passed the 90-point mark for the fifth time this season. Marisa collected 16 points, Weidenham mer 14, and Hartnett 12, most of which came in the second half. In fact, as a team, the Nittanies were strictly second half club last night. They trailed most of the first half but came from behind to lead 40-29 at the mid-point, and Arnelle had 30 of these. While the Penn State offense loosened up, the Lions' sliding zone began to tighten, and Buck nell managed only four field goals in the second half. In all, the Thundering Herd scored on only 12 from the field in 50 attempts for a 24 per cent shooting aver age while the Lions cut the nets on 43 of 102 field goal attempts for a4l per cent mark. - Sluggish for the first ten min utes of the contest. the Lions dropped behind the speedy Bisons early in the game and trailed un til just before the mid-point of the half.

Ar nelle tied the game with a lay up from underneath and then pro ceeded to score 18 of Penn State's next 21 points. Hitting from all angles, the big all-American can didate boosted the Lions into a comfortable halftime lead. Despite several stalling tactics by Kribbs' club in the second half, Penn State continued to widen the margin. Weidenham mer took charge of the Lions' fast break game and was the chief engineer in many of the Lion scoring drives. Both he and Ma risa began to connect consistent lc from around the foul circle and Hartnett took up the scoring from inside. PENN STATE fg f tp.

' Ron Rainey led the Lion frosh in points with 21 and defensively he turned in the finest performance of the evening. Throughout the contest he plagued the Bisons with his interceptions and on most of the occasions the interceptions led to a score. The charges of Coach Don Swe gan took an early eight-point lead and were never behind at any time during the game. After Rainey started the scoring the Lions swished the ' cords for 54 more points to take a 56-31 half time lead. BUCKNELL Led by Steve Baidy, the frosh scored 10 straight points in the waning moments of the first half. Baidy accounted for 14 points in the first half but was forced to sit out most of the second half because of personal fouls. Sensational play was spread throughout the Lion lineup as Sid Grinberg took runnerup in the scoring with 17 points but showed his form under the boards as! he picked off 21 rebounds. Grinberg also brought cheers from the crowd as he continuously tapped in balls for scores, and in display ing a wide-sweeping hook shot.
