Lion Cagers Win
Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Cadets V
By VINCE CAHOCCI !
Following their surprising
victory over Temple with a ;
win over Pittsburgh, the Lion
cagers went on to post alter
nate wins in their remaining
four games to enter second se
mester activity with a creditable
11-5 record.
The cagers leave today for a
4:30 engagement with Navy to
morrow at Annapolis.
For the majority of students,
the Pittsburgh contest marked the
end of regular class sessions for
the first semester here at the Uni
versity. But for the cagers it was
only the halfway mark in their
26-game schedule. •
With Captain Bob Leisher,
Bob Edwards and Ron Rainey
leading the way, the cagers
scored a mild upset when they
dov.-rr-i the lough Panthers,
75-6 S. al Pittsburgh.
HoVling sophomore sensation
Don Hennon scoreless in the first
half, the Lions held a shaky 32-30
lead at halftime.
Once the second half was un
derway, Leisher. Rainey and Ed
wards took personal charge of the
Lion scoring efforts to subdue
the surprised Pittsburgh quintet.
The three cagers accounted for all
but five of the Nittany second
half points—Edwards scoring 16,
Rainey 12. and Leisher 10.
With the score 61-55 and only
four minutes remaining, Ed
v.v ds scored five straight
ps'r-ls to push the game out of
Pa'her reach. Hennon man
aged to hit for 19 in Ihe second
ha f. but was second to Julius
Prcues in the Panther scoring
cc'. -nn. Peques tallied 21.
Til- Lions hit for their best
shor'ing percentage since Temple
with a 44.6 mark against Pitt.
Th" Panthers hit on 37.8 per cent
of shots.
A'though Coach John Egli’s
teem may have been riding on
"C’oud 39" after the Panther con
test. it suffered a quick and re
sounding drop when Syracuse ran
the cagers to the ground en route
to a 75-45 victory at Recreation
Ha'
Ltd by All-America candidate
Vir -.ie Cohen the Orange jumped
to rn early lead and held it the
res! of the way to win easily. The
Orange Led at halftime, 36-22.
The game was, without a
dcv.bl, the cagers' worst of the
season. The Lions did nothing
right passes were thrown
away, players were caught
wa" king and double dribbling,
and the ball was not going
through the hoop. The Lions
only shot a 21 percentage, com
pared to Syracuse's S 3.
Rainey was the only Lion scor
ing rlveat with 20 points. Sopho
more Ted Ivubisia was next with
six. Cohen tallied 23 to top Syra
cuse.
The Lions retaliated from the
Syracuse trouncing—the worst in
University basketball history'
with a one-point victory over
Rutgers in double overtime, 78-77
Holding a 41-36 point edge at
halftime, the Lion defense col
lapsed slightly and Rutgers tied
•he score 64-64 at the end of regu
lation time.
Tom Hancock, probably as im
portant a figure in the win as
anyone, scored three points in the
first overtime period to lead the
Lions to another tie, 73-73. Ac
cording to Egli, Hancock’s re
bounding was a vital factor in
the Lion win.
All the Lion second overtime
scoring came from the foul line
with Edwards hitting for two
center Bob Ramsay one, and
Rainey the final two. Rutgers was

Freshman wrestling tutor Don Watkins, like his varsity
counterpart Charlie Speidel, was crying “Those Upper-weight
Blues” as his frosh split two meets between semesters.
During finals the underclassmen dropped a 16-15 squeaker
to a more experienced Lehigh team after taking a 15-2 lead
in the first five weights. This sea-!

Sam Minor dropped down a
weight from his Lehigh spot at
147 and proved that the loss oi
weight does not hinder his ef
fectiveness with a 5-1 win over
Lock Haven 137 pounder Dean
Kreamer.
The sensational Guy Guccione
extended his high school-college
win streak to 61 by pinning Fred
Goepfert of Lehigh at 137 pounds
and decisioning Ronald Whitsey
of Lock Haven at 147, 5-1.
Bob Smith is Watkins’ tough
luck kid. The 157 worker never
got a chance to show his true
value as he lost to Lehigh’s high
ly-touted Bob Guntz in a close
match and then was injured by
Lock Haven Captain Larry Sini

in the match. Smitty suffered a
