PAGF SO(
Lion Cagers Meet
Hot Rod and Co.
College basketball's clown prince, Hot Rod Hundley, leads
West Virginia University into Rec Hall tonight for the second
game of a home-and-home series against John Egli's fast
moving Penn State quintet.
The Lions will be looking for their 14th victory of the
season, and second against the West Virginia passers when
the game gets underway at 8 p.m.
Hot Rod, so dubbed because of
his clowning antics on the basket
ball floor, leads the West Virginia
scoring, but the sophomore ace
collected only 11 points when the
Lions went into overtime to win
the first contest, 77-68 at Morgan
town.
Tonight's contest should mark
another big milestone in the scor
ing career of the Lions' great cen
ter, Jesse Arnelle. The big pivot
man needs only 11 points to break
the Penn State seasonal scoring
record which he now holds at
506. He has 496 this season. Ar
nelle has been scoring at a 27.4
point per-game pace this season
and should have little trouble
eclipsing the old mark tonight.
The Lions, on the rebound after
a momentary slump two weeks
ago, go into the contest with a
13-5 record while coach Fred
Schaus' Mountaineers carry an
11-8 slate.
No Lineup Changes
Egli is expected to start with
the combination that has gath
ered four straight wins for him
since his quartet suffered a dou
ble loss against Pitt and Carnegie
Tech at mica-season. Earl Fields
and Jim Blocker will be at the
forwards, and Ron Weidenham
mer and Bob Hoffman get the
nod at the guard positions, with
Arnelle in the center slot.
Schaus, the former Fort Wayne
Piston and New York Knicker
bocker star, who took over the
West Virginia varsity reigns this
season, is expected to counter
with sophomore Hundley (8-4)
and a quartet of fine veteran per
formers. Willie Bergines (6-6),
and Pete White (8-5) will be at
the forwards .Paul Whitting (6-7)
will be at the center, and Frank
Spadafore (5-8) will man the oth
er guard position.
The game marks the 46th in
the series between the two
schools. The Lions have won 26
and West Virginia, 20.
Fans tonight may also get a
chance to see a former Penn State
freshman standout, Jim Brennan,
in action. He played for the Lion
earlin:s two seasons a:o but

For 'Wilt Stilt'
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8 (R')—
Wilt the Stilt, America's most
prominent high school basketball
player, definitely is going to col
lege. The big question is, which.
one?
In case you've been sheltered
from basketball news, Wilt the
Stilt is Wilton Chamberlain, a
seven foot lad who scores on a
basketball court at a point a min
ute clip. The 18-year-old giant
plays for Overbrook High School
in Philadelphia.
A.), last count, Chamberlain said,
he has received close to 150 bids
to attend higher institutions of
learning and, of course, to play
a little basketball. Wilt says he
hasn't' made up his mind where
he'll go and won't until May or
June.
As a high school basketballer,
the Stilt has scored 1912 points.
He has seven games to play and if
he continues at his 40-plus per
game average can eclipse the
three-year local scoring record set
by LaSalle's great All-America,
Tom Gola. The 'atter netted 2222
points over three seasons at La-
Salle High. Wilt's one game high
is 74, scored earlier this season.
Pennsylvania's newly-appointed
State Secretary of Agriculture, Dr.
William L. Henning, is a long
time Penn State sports follower.

Dons Hit Top
In AP Rating
By The Associeted Press
The San Francisco Dons, who
want to prove they're the best
college basketball team in the na
tion, already have done a pretty
good job of convinci..g the sports
writers and broadcP.sters.
That was seen today when San
Francisco was voted the No. 1
team by a big margin in the ninth
weekly Associated Press ranking
poll. The Dons were named first
by 68 of 126 voters ana polled a
total of 1107 points.
Kentucky, the leader ever since
the second week of this season's
poll. dropped to second place with
only 19 first place votes and 867
points.
San Francisco, a ball control
team with the nation's best de
fensive record this season, made
the top without the benefit of any
advance ballyhoo The Dons were
not listed in the pre-season poll,
when LaSalle was picked as the
team most likely to succeed.
Behind Kentucky in the rank
ings came' LaSalle, Duquesne,
Utah, George Washington, North
Carolina State, UCLA, Marquette,
and Illinois. Th e Illini barely
squeezed into the first ten ahead
of Maryland.
The second ten: Maryland, Min
nesota, Alabama, Missouri, lowa,
Dayton, Cincinnati, Oregon State,
Villanova, and Vanderbilt.
Bob Hicks, who produced an un
beaten team in his first year as
Juniata College coach, is a former
Penn State football star.

3 Future Mat Foes
Show Good Records
While the Nittany wrestlers compiled a 2-1 record during the
past five weeks and now are on the brink of tangling with Sytacuse.
Saturday, three of the Lions' four future mat foes have been sweep
ing Eastern competition with impressive wins.
After coach Charlie Speidel takes his eight-man squad to Syra
cuse, he'll return to Rec Hall to host Army and Lehigh and then
close the season at Pitt—three op
ponents who require speculative
attention from the snappy Lion
mentor.
Syracuse holds a 2-1 record
with a 22-8 win over Temple and
a 16-14 win over Army, plus a
loss to Cortlandt State Teachers
College, N.Y., in the opening meet,
18-18.
Army's Recorct Weaker
Army, the first of two teams
to visit the Lions when they re
turn from Syracuse, doesn't have
the record that the Lions boast,
but had had more matches to its
credit—a factor which could aid
it as far as experience through
competition is concerned.
The Cadets presently own a 2-3
record but will meet Yale before
they visit Rec Hall. Army has de
feated Columbia, 15-11, and Vir
ginia Military Institute, 23-13.
Lost to Orange ,
Arhong Army's three kisses the
most important as far as the Lions
are concerned was its most recent
setback by Syracuse at Army Sat
urday, 16-14. Army's opening loss
was to Springfield, 20-13. Two
matches later Cornell turned the
trick again with a 19-15 win (Penn
State trimmed Cornell 17-10 in
the season's opener).
The Lehigh Engineers, set to
visit• the Lions for the final home
match after the Army encounter,
have swept four straight matches
to jump to the top in the "pos
sible" column in bidding for the
Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling
Association title.
Lehigh has stopped Cornell,
18-6, Franklin and Marshall, 26-6,
Pitt, 14-12, and Yale, 20-5. Le
high's most impressive win, nat
urally, is the two-point victory

over Pitt. The Panthers, along
with Navy, are both considered
good bets for the EIWA title with
Lehigh and Penn State falling in
line in that order.
Lehigh Surprises
Lehigh, not considered in the
hot-stove league as being the po
tential Rowerliouse that it may
be this winter, hasn't been the
only team to dump the Panthers.
Michigan did it two matches later,
17-9. Since then the Panthers have
swept three straight wins to pull
their record to 5-2 with two meets
set before they host the Lions in
the two teams' season finale.
After opening by defeating
Michigan State, 24-5, the Panthers
were set back by Lehigh. Pitt
then dropped Lock Haven State
Teachers College 20-5, on the lat
ter's mats. Michigan handed Pitt
its next and last loss thus far.
Pitt then tumbled Purdue, 31-2,
Illinois, 18-8, and Cornell, 23-3.
Although Cornell and Lehigh
are on both the Lion and Pitt
schedules, the most direct atten
tion is being focused on the Pan
thers' meet tonight when they
travel to New York to meet Syra
cuse, the Lions' Saturday oppo
nent.
