The Lions battled the Moun ties on even terms for the rest of the half and were ahead 17- 16 and 26-25. With three min utes left in the half. Mountie forward Jim Ritchie drove in for a layup and put West Vir ginia into the lead—this time for good. Three more quick goals gave the Mountaineers a 33-25 halftime bulge. West Virginia put the game on ice right after the halftime break with another 8-point outburst. The Lions never managed to catch up, although they gave West Virginia a rough time the rest of tthe evening, according to Lion Coach John, Egli. At the end of the game the Nittanies put a full court press on West Virginia and narrowed the margin to 15 points. "They just had too much depth for us,' said Egli. "Their strategy was to play a rough game and get our boys upset. And they did just that."
