PAGE SIX Big * * Cagers Edge Lions Win First Four, Lose Rest By LOU PRATO Penn State's season - long weakness in the upperweights once again proved disastrous to the Lion matmen when' Cornell rallied from a 12-0 de ficit, last night at Ithaca, to deadlock the Nittanies, 12-12. It was the first draw of the sea-. son for both teams and the third' in the 49-meet series between the : two schools. The Lions now own a 5-2-1 rec ord while Cornell's mark is at' 7-2-1. As has been the case through-, out the campaign, defeats in the upperweights led to the Lion downfall. Coach Charley Speidel's aggre gation started out with a 12-0 lead on the basis of decisions by Sid Nodland, Johnny Johnston. John Pepe, and Dave Adams. But they couldn't go any further as Earl Foust, Bruce Gilmore, Les —Walters, and Sam Markle fell vic tim to Big Red foes in the last four 'matches.

CR NM HAIR GROOM TONIC * * * Late Rally Wins Game; Syracuse Host Nittanies Penn State's on-again, off-again basketball team took the first step towards breaking a 15-year old basketball jinx when it edged Colgate's scrappy quintet, 75-74, last night at Hamilton, N.Y. If the Lions can defeat Syracuse tonight at Syracuse, it will be the first time since 1942 that the cagers have beaten both the Orange and the Raiders away in one season Some top clutch shooting by Dick Schwendeman, Ron Rainey, and Steve Baidy, plus a mental lapse on the part of the Raider's Bill Allen, gave the Lions the Victory. In the final three minutes of play, Schwendeman scored two field goals with his deadly set shot, Rainey hit on a jump, and Baidy scored his only four points of the game to grab a victory from the fateful hands of defeat. Allen. playing one of his bet ter games of the year, won the "Goat of the Night" award when he lost his temper during the tension-filled final minutes to seild Baidy to the foul line with 'the game-clinching points. Here's the way the scoring went in the final three minutes: With the score 67-65, Colgate, Schwendeman hit with another of his sets to tie the score. Rainey followed with a jump shot and the Lions were ahead momentarily. 69-67. However, the Raiders were far from dead. Three foul conver sions, one by Phil Bisselle and 'two by Jack Nichols, put the Raiders back into the lead. 70-69. It was the last Colgate lead of the game. Schwendeman hit with his second consecutive set shot to regain the lead, 71-70. It was then that the tension mounted and tempers flared. In the midst of a scramble for the ball, Allen lost his self-com posure and started to throw some fists. The only punch that hurt was one that missed its mark. Baidy was sent to the foul line with two free throws and, after going scoreless for the first 38 minutes, converted on both to give SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 23. 1957 * * * By VINCE CAROCCI the Lions a three-point bulge. , Forced into a full-court press, the over-anxious Raiders again fouled Baidy, who immediately converted another two points for the final Lion tallies. Not even two last-minute Raider scores could save the game. Colgate opened the game with two quick goals, but the Lions came back to take an 8-5 lead on-a basket and two fouls by Captain Bob Leisher, two fouls by Rainey, and a goal by Bob Edwards. The remainder of the half saw the Lions maintaining their four point lead with Colgate trying to stage a sustained scoring drive. The Raider almost succeeded when they outscored the Lions in the final two and.a half minutes, 8-6, to leave the floor at half time only two points behind, 37-35. Rainey led the Lion scorers with 22 points. Edwards and Schwende man were next with 16 points apiece. They were the only Lions to break into the double-scoring column. Oddly enough, Colgate had five men in double figures. Nichols led the losers with 17 points, Allen. Burke and Bis selle each had 14. and Russ Brummer had 10. Coach John Egli had only one comment after the contest. "We played a determined game," he said. With Syracuse on tap to-- night, determination may again play an important part in the outcome.
