baskets until DuMars dropped a
one hand push from 30 feet out
and put the Lions only, four be
hind, 52-48. Bob Edwards followed
with a three point play to bring
the Lions within one point, 52-51.
West Virginia’s Bucky Bolyard
came right back with a three
point play and West scored on a
rebound and jumper to put the
Mounties up by eight, 59-51.
Then came the Lions' best
spurt of the night as they tied
the game. Edwards converted a
foul and DuMars hit another
foul and field goal to bring the
Lions within four, 59-55. Ted
Kubista hit on a jumper and
Tom Hancock threw in a sweep
ing hook to knot the count at
59-59.
A few seconds later the Lions
received a bad break when Han
cock fouled out with less than
seven minutes remaining. The 6-4
rebound leader was sorely missed
under the boards and according
to Pfenn State coach John Egli
this was one of the turning points
in the game.
After Paul Sweetland and
Bob Clousson traded fouls to
knot the score at 60-60 the teams
went into their see-saw act
again.
DuMars scored seven more
points in the next few minutes
and the Lions found themselves
ahead by one, 69-,68. Clousson put
the Mounties in the lead with
1:50 left, 70-69.
Wally Colender threw in a long
jump shot at 1:37 to give the Nit
tanies a one-point edge. Then
there was a scramble under the
West Virginia basket and West
had two foul shots. He missed
one and made the other to tie
the score at 71-71.

Laßar said that students at the

facilities except for the YMCA
gymnasium and must still pay
the same fees as students on the
main campus. He also said “There

He spoke to a press conference j
of the Central Penn Chapter of

sional journalism fraternity, in

why there shouldn’t."

the Trustees' meetings, the
Pittsburgh mayor said: .
“Anywhere where official ac
