Quakers Hand Cagers
3d Straight Loss, 79-72
An unproductive weekend in Philadelphia has dropped the Nittany Lion's seasonal
record well below the .500 mark and has put them into a three game tailspin.
After dropping the weekend opener to Temple Friday night, the cagers moved over
to the Palestra where they received their second defeat in as many days, losing to the
Penn Quakers, 79-72.
The Lions fought an uphill battle all the way but were unable to overcome an
early lead taken by the Quaker
men. Their record is now 8-11
Penn jumped off to a quick six
point lead which was increased
to a 12-2 spread after the Blue
and White found the mark with
two minutes gone. The Quakers
continued their offensive drive
and led 20-8, 29-13 and 36-21 be
fore the Lions could score with
any consistency.
Co-captain Earl Fields and Ron
Rainey started the Nittanies roll
ing at this point with eight
straight points which cut the lead
to eight markers, but Penn cap
tain Joe Sturgis hit on two quick
fielders to set the score at 46-34,
as the half ended.
Lion center Bob Ramsey sat
out the last 10 minutes of the per
iod because he had four personals
charged against him.
Fields and Rudy Marisa pulled
the score to 46-40 as the second
half got under way, but once
again Sturgis got hot and tallied
seven points which ended the Lion
threat for the evening. They could
do no better than cut the lead to a
seven point margin at the game's
end.
Marisa gained scoring honors
for the Blue and White as he
hit on five 'fielders and 11 of 14
free throws for a 21 point total.
Fields contributed three two
pointers and II of 15 foul throws
for 17 markers and Ron Rainey
finished with 14 on five field goals
and four fouls.
Penn's Sturgis was the game's
high-point man with 27 points on
nine fielders and an equal num
ber of free throws. Four other
teammates also hit double figures,
Lou Bayne chipped in with 16,
Phil Smi t h had 12' and Chuck
Mulroy and Dick Csencsitz each
had 10.
Lion coach John Egli said his
squad wasn't tired after their two
game road trip, but thought the
competition was too much for the
Nittanies. Egli said reserve center
Norm Ball will be back - with the
team this week after a weekend
It all started way back in
medieval times, when a feast
was celebrated in honor of
Saint Valentine, a Roman
priest. This feast was part of

that Valentine cards came into
