On Halftime
Lead of 18
By VINCE CAROCCI
Sports Editor
Jumping to an 18-point lead
at the end of the first half,
Temple's racehorse cage club
never faced serious danger in
rolling to an easy 64-45 victory
over Penn State last night at
the Penn'Palestra in Philadel
phia.
The Lion-Owl contest cam" on
the heels of a fiat-game Limner
between West Virginia. the na
tion's number one team.- and a
surprising Valanova five. The
Mounties maintained their un
defeated (11-0) record on a bas
ket by Lloyd Sharrar with two
seconds left, 76-75.
Paced by everybody's All
. America Guy Rodgers. the Owls
rebounded from a 4-0 deficit in
the early minutes to take an
11.4 lead and therein lies the
complexion of the ballgame.
From there, the Owls rolled
to an insurmountable 34-16
halftime advantage—the Lions
were never in the ballgame
Thereafter.
Making the most of every op
portunity given them by poor
Lion ball handling in the first
half, the Owls fast broke for
score after score—and there were
plenty of them.
Bad passes, stolen balls. inter
cepted passes. etc, gave Temple
—more specifically, Rodgers—
the fast break release. Once off
to the races, Temple seldom
missed_
Here's an idea how the scoring
went:
The Lions jumped off to a
short-lived 4-0 lead only to
have Temple retaliate with a
succession of fast breaks for an
114 margin. Bob Edwards cut
the margin by two with a pair
of fouls but a three-point play '
by Rodgers bettered it by one.
14-6.
With 14 minutes to go in the,
half, Wally Colender hit from,
the corner but Bill Kennedy's,
basket and fouls by Mel Brodsky;
and Tink Van Patton boosted the'
Temple edge, 18-8. From there,:
the Owls went on to score 16—i
six by Kennedy and four by Rod-I
gets—while limiting the Lions to',
only eight.
The second half was played onl
an almost even level—but it was
too late: the damage was already
done. Temple, with the game
safely in its nest, substituted fre
quently and could do no worse
titanl
match the Lion point-total
The Owls' first five was on the
bench with four minutes still -to
go.
For Penn state. Edwards and
Colender led the scoring par
ade. Edwards won Lion scoring
bonors for the fourth consecu
tive time, this time with 12
points. The rapidly improving
Colender was next with 10.
Rodgers was the game's hign
scorer with 19. followed by the
sophomore Kennedy with 14. A
