There's no place like home
for the holidays and for the
Penn State cagers there's no
place like Recreation Hall for
basketball games.
After losing their first two
games at North Carolina State
and West Virginia the Nittanies
won their fir:-,t game of the sea
lion beating Gettysburg, 71-60, be
fore a Recreation Hail crowd of
3500.
Tom Hancock's scoring and re
bounding plus the all-around
performances of Wally Colander
and Mark DuMars were the
main factors in the Lion win.
It was these three who com
bined efforts to pull the Lions
back into contention after Gettys
burg jumped to an early 6-0 lead.
Hancock hit a jumper for the
Lions' first score. Then DuMars
hit on a push and foul to put the
Lions three behind, 8-5
Colender hit on two straight
jump shots and Hancock collected
two free throws to put the Lions
ahead 11-8 Two more buckets—
one by Ted Kubista and the other
by DuMars gave the Lions a 15-8
cushion and Gettysburg never
caught up.
The Bullets made a few strong
bids to go ahead and narrowed
the gap to 26-22 at halftime.
Right at the start of the sec
ond halt the Lions iced the game
as Bob Edwards, Hancock and
Colander hit from all over and
built the Lion lead up to 50-33.
Gettysburg made a determined
bid to cut down the lead but they
couldn't get any closer than eight
points, With Hancock pulling
down
_rebounds and Colender and
DuMars fast breaking, the Lions
broke up any serious drives that
the Bullets could start.
The fast break is something
new in the Penn State offense.
Last year the Lions didn't use it
much. But with the addition of
DuMars to the backcourt the Lions
can now run with almost any
team.
Hancock led the Lions in scor
ing as he tallied 20 points. Ac
cording to Lion coach John Egli
this was one of Hancock's best
showings since he donned the
Blue & White four years ago.
"Tommy didn't play just a good
game, he played a great game,"
said Egli.' "If he keeps it up and
the rest of the big men come
around we're really going to be
touch to stop."
"The team really played an im
proved brand of ball. Even though
they were a little sloppy I think
they'll iron out the rough spots in
due time." the Lion mentor added.
REIM behind Hancock in the
scoring department were Du-
Mars with 18 and Colender with
16. DuMars now is the leader in
scoring with 45 points in three
games for an average of 15
points per game.

Ex-Lion Grid Captain
Valentine Named
All-Service Center
Penn State's last All-American football player, Sam Val
entine, has been named to the armed forces All-Service team
in a world-wide poll conducted by the Armed Forces Press
Service.
Valentine, the Lion's captain in 1956, was honored as a
center—his original position as a,
schoolboy star at Dußois. Pre
viously, the 6-foot, 210-pound Val
entine had been selected to the
mythical All-Navy eleven.
Valentine played for Quantico
Marines this fall
and was instru
mental in help
ing the Leather
necks register an
above average
record. One of
their victories
knocked highly
rated Rutgers
from the unbeat
en ranks. Ray
Alberigi, a team
mate of Valen
tine's at Penn VALENTINE
State, was the fullback for Quan
tico
Valentine was a first team All-
American guard selection in 19561
according to Look Magazine, the
Central Press and the all-frater
nity ratings. Colliers, INS, NEA,
AP and the Sporting Ne'ws made
him a second team pick.
He was an almost unanimous
All-East choice by AP UP, INS
and the ECAC and co-captained
the East team in the San Fran
cisco Shriners East-West All
star grid classic. He was also
invited to the famed Hula Bowl
to play against a host of pro
fessional gridders, but was
forced to decline the bid because
of an illness.
Four other collegiate All-Amer
ican stars were also named to the
All-Service el eve n. Ex-Notre
Dame standouts Joe Heap and
Don Schaeffer were picked in the
backfield and former Navy aces
end Ron Beagle and guard Tony
Stremic were chosen in the line.
This marked the second year in
a row that a Penn State alumnus
had been honored by the Armed
IForces Press Service. Last year,
Rosy Grier, now a defensive stal
wart with the professional New
York Giants, was a first team
tackle.
