Hundley Leads W.Va.
To 76-73 Cage Victory
An estimated 5500 fans turned to Recreation Hall last night to see collegiate basket
ball's number one court jester—Rod Hundley—and his West Virginia University cage team
mates give Penn State its 17th test of the 1955 season. Although they got but a glimpse of the
hardwood clown's antics and saw the Lions go down to defeat for the ninth time this
year, the all-but-capacity crowd did see John Egli's cagers in their best home appearance of
the year.
Hundley moved in front of all
scorers with 25 points and led un
der the boards with 11 rebounds
to pace the Mountaineers to a 76-
73 triumph, marking the first time
a West Virginia quintet has bet
tered a Lion cage team in Rec Hall
since 1949. Incidentally, the Moun
ties' present coach, Fred Schaus,
a senior on the 1949 West Virginia
team, hit on an eleventh hour field
goal, enabling a 49-47 West Vir
ginia win
The Mountaineers were 81-79
victors over the Lions earlier this
year at Morgantown, W. Va.
Co-Captains Bobby Hoffman
and Earl Fields, the latter return
ing to action after a one-game
absence, topped the Lions in scor
ing with 21 and 18 points.
Rainey Stands Out
But, in addition to the duo's 39
points, the outstanding all-round
p 1 a y of sophomore Ron Rainey
was an integral factor in keeping
the outcome a secret until the
final minutes of play. Playing out
front on defense, Rainey snatched
Mountaineer passes on several oc
casions and repeatedly broke up
the West Virginia offense. Enter
ing the game about midway
through the first half, he hit for
14 points and duplicated Rudy
Marisa's 10 rebounds to share
honors in that department.
The two teams entered the
locker rooms at half time with
the Mountaineers showing a five
point edge, 35-30. Penn State out
scored the winners in the second
period, 43-41, but it wasn't quite
enough and once again the .500
mark for a seasonal record slipped
by. The Lions canned a three
game winning streak into last
night's contest.
Mounties Score First
Guard Don Vincent's field goal
within the first minute of play
opened the evening's scoring, and
the winners had scored nine be
fore Fields was able to tally on a
push at the 3:30 mark. The Moun-
Rod Handley
Clowns for 6500
taineers hovered around a six
point lead throughout the remain
der of the half, and it wasn't until
4110 of the second _period that
Penn State was able to move
ahead, 42-41. A push shot and a
long set by Hoffman made it 46-41,
but at this point Hundley stepped
in to put Penn State behind for
good. He accounted for West Vir
ginia's next 10 points. The Lions
started somewhat of a rally, but
couldn't overtake the rapid-mov
ing Mounties.
With the game all but in the
record books, Hundley, who set
the all-time collegiate scoring
mark for a sophomore last year,
went into a few routines that
planted smiles throughout the
stands and kept the evening from
being altogether disappointing.
Penn State takes to the road
once again when they make a
weekend eastern tour which will
find them against top-notch Tem
ple tomorrow night and against
the University of Pennsylvania
Saturday night in Convention
Hall.

Outing Club Spends
Vacation on Ski Trip
Fifty members of the Winter Sports division of the Penn State
Outing Club went on a ski trip to Red House in Allegheny State
Park, New York, between semesters.
The group which included 33 men and 17 coeds, left State
College on Thursday, Jan. 26 and returned Tuesday, Jan. 31.
Two clubmembers, Karen De
Juhasz and Dave Boucher, placed
in course competition. Miss De
Juhasz placed third in a field of
10 in the women's slalom, while
Boucher placed fifth out of 30 in
the men's slalom and ninth out of
56 in the men's downhill race.
Only half of the group making
the trip had skied before, but Joe
Phillips, Dave Bouc h e r, Sam
Bothwell, and and Sam Seabold,
members of the club, provided
skiing instructions for newcomers.

Intramural Bowling League A for
the first half, opened the latter
half of the schedule in easy style
on Monday night with a 4-0 for
feit win over the Alley Cats.
But its league B counter-part,
the Dark Horses, were surprised
by the Hawks—a new team for
the second half—and was pushed
in getting a 2-2 deadlock.
Four shutout victories also
highlighted the first evening of
action since final examinations.
In loop A, the Hot Rods—another
new addition to the bowling cir
cle—stopped the Weather Men,
4-0.
The other whitewashes were in
the B circuit. East Five defeated
