Arnelle found the going difficult in the early stages of the contest when the Pitt defense col lapsed on him during any shoot ing attempt. Scores from Outside So while Pitt worried about the Big Guy, forward Earl Fields picked up the scoring attack. The left-handed junior whipped in six consecutive one-handed set shots during the first half to take up the balance of power for the Lions. He and Arnelle—who cornered 15 points before the intermission —Were largely responsible for a 48-42 half tune lead. The Lions upped their margin to 10 points— in the second half when Ron Weiden hammer connected on two swish ing one-handers, but after that the bigger Pitt team began to nar row the already precarious lead.
