Game time is 8 With Coach John the pre-game diagn. Leisher and his team ling the after-effects, ran Coach Mel Cratsl to the floor,. after a start forced them to behind early in the g The Tartans jump• 18-13 lead midway t first half, but the Nit sters started to move a a 19-18 lead with 8: Two pointers by L•isher and center Bob Ramsay, a d two foul conversions by the Lift captain, put the cagers into the lead—a lead which they never lost. The Tartans, led by Captain Alan Frank's playmaking and Charlie Goetz's shooting and defensive play, tried desperately to stop the Lion surge. But it was to no avail as Ron Rainey, Sieve Baidy, and the steady Leisher ran the score to a 38-2.5 Lion halftime lead. Two baskets each by Rainey and Baidy, and Leisher's four tallies from the foul line, put the contest beyond Tartan reach. The Tartans came back fast in the early minutes of the second stanza, cutting the Nittany lead to 43-33 with 5:30 gone. Sopho more Carm Palmerio and Leisher then combined their talents to push the cagers into an insur mountable lead, 56-40, with a little less than 10 minutes remain ing. From then on, it was simply a question of how high the Lions could go. If any player were to be se lected as the outstanding per former on the floor, it would have to be Leisher without a doubt. The wiry team leader took charge of the Lion offense from the opening buzzer and was in command all the way. He also was the game's high scorer with 18 points, eight via the foul line. After the game, Egli said the team will have to do a little more work on offense in order to be ready for Rutgers. The cagers, as might be expected in the first game, were a bit rusty getting their offensive patterns working at first, but settled down more and more as the game progressed. "Games are the best' way to spot these errors," Egli said. "When you play against five strangers, it's quite a bit dif ferent than in practice and that's where you find your mis takes." Mistakes or no. mistakes, the Lions will have to take the floor against Rutgers tomorrow night. The team has one more day to work the kinks out after a rusty, but impressive debut before the home fans.
