the game went into overtime.
In the overtime the Mountain
ecis dominated the play as the
teriffic pace began to tell on the
weary Lions who had used only
seven men.
The Mountaineers outscored,
the Lions, 18-10, in the five minute
extra period. West and Clousson
led the Mounties in the overtime
with six points apiece. Colender

Egli Blames Mistakes,
'Weak Bench' for Loss
John Egli was in a jubilant but yet disappointed mood last night following.the Lion
cage team’s heartbreaking overtime loss to llth-ranked West Virginia, 89-81.
“We played a darn good game,” the soft-spoken Nittany coach said in the locker room,
“but we made a couple of costly mistakes in that overtime period. We tried to pass in the
middle when it was jammed. That
really hurt us ”
Egli stopped to acknowledge
the congratulatory remarks from
a passing fan,* then continued:
“The biggest difference out there
iwas our bench. With a little bet
ter bench we could be a great
Iball club. When we had to pull
|Tommy (Hancock) out of there
,that hurt. He’s oiir best re
bounder”
What about the performance
of his sophomore ball magician
Mark DuMars? DuMars was ;
the key man in the Nittany at- ;
tack, scoring 30 points and dis- .
playing a phenomenal adept
ness at ball handling. j
“He really played a great game,
didn't he,” Egli said. So did Wally;
(Collender). They’re both great]
ball players in my opinion.”
West Virginia Coach Fred
Schaus and his All-American hot
shot Jerry West agreed with Egli
on the play of DuMars.
“He’s a good little player,” the
genial Mountie tutor said. “He
really had a hot hand out there.
I put my two best defensive’men!
on him (West and Bucky 801-!
yard) and neither could stop him.
He's a real fine college basketball i
player ”
“He’s one of the best we’ve'
played against,” West said. "He!
really had a hot hand.” 1
West figured he had an off '
night, despite clicking for 32
points on 14 field goals and four
foul shots. "I just wasn't hitting :
from the side," the modest !
Mountie junior said. ]
Egli disagreed with West. “He’sj
terrific.” the veteran Lion coach |
said. “I guess you have to shoot
,lum to stop him.” 1
I Egli couldn’t pinpoint any real
turning point in the game, but
the West Virginia coach did.
“It’s hard to pick a turning
point in a game like this,” Schaus
said, “but if I had to pick one I’d
say it was the interception West
made in the overtime. He scored
a basket and put us ahead by
six points State couldn’t catch up
then.”
Schaus praised Penn State for
its performance but said he
wasn't at all surprised. "Thai

was a real good ball club out
i there. But they were just as
good against us down at Mor
gantown as they were tonight.
“That team is very underrated,”]
Schaus added. “I think they’ll win;
a lot of their games from now on
in. Egli is a good coach. He always
turns out a ball club that is al
lways hustling. They never give
iup—just like tonight. That’s what
I admire about Penn State’s
team.”
Egli also feels the Lions will
win many more games this sea
son. “We’ll probably suffer a let
down against Rutgers Saturday,”
jhe said, “but I can’t see why we
[can’t beat any other team on our
[schedule—including Bucknell.”
