With Bucknell leading, ,44-34, Wally Colender hit on two' jump shots and a foul and Ted Kubista converted a foul to close the gap. 44-40 That was the last Lion spurt of tit* night. Only once from that point did the Lions put as much as four points together— and that came via the foul line when Bob Edwards and Colen der each converted twice to make the score 53-50. However, two fouls by game high scorer Ellis Harley and a John Strizzi tally on a fast break put the clampers on the Lion hopes. Strizzi’s basket at the ;6:20 mark was the clincher as far as the outcome was concerned. Although scoring only nine points, 6-7 Hal Danzig proved to be the difference as far as the Bisons were concerned. It was his timely rebounding—he grab bed 17 all tolled—that limited the Lions to only one shot at the hoop. If they missed, he usually controlled the ball. Besides this, he blocked close to 12 Nittany field attempts as soon as the ball left the shoot er's hand.

But, our column in Tuesday’s paper stirred someone -up and this is what we found in our mailbox yesterday morning: Dear Mr. Carocci: I will probably be branded at an anti-Slaler for this, but it's worth every ounce of pain. Why don't you lay off the University of Pittsburgh for a change? Start writing about things which you know something about. Try cleaning up your own house before you start cleaning up others'. I think Tom Hamilton deserves a lot of credit for coming up with good teams while still keeping high scholastic standards. It's too bad all our universities don't follow his example. James L. Currie OUR COMMENT: First of all, we don’t think we’re picking on the University of Pittsburgh unfairly by questioning its athletic department in the Woznicki incident. When a school with such a “reputable” status allows an incident of this type to happen, we feel it’s time somebody asked some questions. That’s what we did. Even Mr. Currie must admit that someone was negligent in this incident. And, as in similar cases, the blame always falls on the man in charge—this time it’s Tom Hamilton. Our basic question was, and still is, why didn’t the Pitt Athletic Department know of Woznicki’s ineligibility at the beginning of the year? - We are certain that every Penn State coach knows the eligi bility status of every one of bis performers during the season. That's the way the University's Athletic Department operates— and that's the only way. But. what happened at Pitt? If Mr. Currie has the answer, we'd certainly like to know. ■ We don’t pretend to be an expert on the Pitt Athletic Depart ment—we’re far from it! But, as an apprentice newspaperman, we feel we are in the position to ask that question. This- isn’t the first time we’ve wanted to question Pitt policies. Another incident was the Tommy Alberts affair last year. Al berts, a wrestler, was ineligible for wrestling during-the regular season. However, he was declared eligible in time for the National Championships and won the 177-pound title. The story is that Alberts made up his ’'deficient” credits in math in time for the Nationals. That may very well be so, but something smells fishy from here. We wonder if that’s the way it really went. We may not be an expert on it, but still we wonder. As for cleaning up our own house, we frankly haven't noticed much to be cleaned up. Penn State's athletic reputation has never been questioned—nor has it ever been placed in the position to be questioned. Proat of how the University’s department works is seen in two cases: Lenny Moore, the greatest halfback in Lion football history, was washed out of school; and Armando Vega, one of the top gym nasts in the country, had his grant-in-aid removed. Both incidents were the results of low grades. Need we say more. Every one is entitled to his own opinion. We have ours and don’t expect every one of our readers to agree with them. We appreciate Mr. Currie’s letter. But we still think the Pitt Athletic Department was negligent in the Woznicki case. We can’t see any other answer to our question. It certainly was an unexplainable error; THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1958 ★ + ★ SPORTS By VINCE CAROCCI Sports Editor
