PAGE EIGHT 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.

[ Danny Johnson, 1956 Pennsyl vania wrestling champ at 130 jpounds, was the game freshman [who challenged Fred Caro in the [ 177-pound go. Caro gained a take jdown early in the opening period ;for two points, but Johnson util ized his speed advantage and es caped.
