By RON GATEHOUSE
Although it was by their lowest winning scoring effort of the season,
jumped above the .500 mark for the second time Saturday at Bethlehem,
victory over Lehigh! University. Twice this season have the Lions scored
■—both times in a losing cause
With 17 games' still ren
record. The loss put the Engineers,
at 1-3
Saturday’s contest brought the
Penn State-Lehigh series, which
had its origin in 1902, to 12-8 with
Penn State out front. Lehigh has
scored six of its eight wins on its
home court.
Co-captain Bob Hoffman, far
ahead in the Penn State individ
ual scoring parade, and Rudy Mar
isa split 24 points for Saturday’s
individual Nittany laurels.
Lions Shine on Defense
The Lions, with one eye on the
much-talked-about Syracuse quin
tet which comes io Rjec Hall to
morrow night, and the other on
the Engineers, displayed their
best defensive performance of the
season. In addition to jholding the
losers to 38 points, the Nittanies
permitted a meager eight Engi
neer field goals—one in the first
half.
A look at how the scoring went
makes it the same old story for
the Lions—outscore the opponents
from the floor but drop behind
from the foul lane.
Penn State connected on 23
field goals, compared to Lehigh’s
eight. But in free throws the fi
gures were exactly reversed. The
Lions made 8 of 15—Lehigh took
advantage of 23 of its 30 chances.
The Engineers* Dick Healy
equalled Hoffman and Marisa’s
12-point output. Single-handedly
he accounted for half of Lehigh’s
field goal total, in addition to
making good on four of four free
throws.
Hold 17-Point Lead
As-the score indicates, the Engi
ners were knocked off their of
fensive balance. They added six
foul shots to their lone first half
field goal, and at the intermis
sion the score read: Penn State 25
—Lehigh 8.
Lehigh took an early 5-0 lead
on five consecutive foul shots.
Hoffman then began hitting from
the outside and the Lions quickly
took the lead and were never
headed. The Engineer’s first field
goal came with three minutes re
maining in the first period. Mean
while the Nittanies were piling up
Ihcir commanding 17-point half
time margin. With four Lion reg
ulars on the bench, the losers won
second-half scoring honors, 31-29.
Coach John Egli singled out
Hoffman .for his fine defensive
play out front and Norm Hall,
Bob Ramsay, and Marisa for their
defensive and rebounding support
under the boards.
