Jerry West just edged Mark DuMars in
the battle •of the All-Americans Satui’day :
night but his West Virginia teammates had it
a lot easier, beating Penn State, 104-74.
■ It was the fifth straight win for the top
ranked Mountaineers and it was Penn State's
third loss in as many outings. ★ ★
West, a two-year All American,
led all scorers with 34 points while
Penn State’s DuMars had 31.
A capacity crowd of 6800 peo
ple jammed Mountaineer Field
House to see the personal duel
between one of the nation’s best
big men and one of ihe nation's
top littlemen.
And they weren’t disappointed.
West hit fast and often right from
the outset and helped the Moun
taineers build up a lead which
gradually increased to 18 points /A'
at halftime. JBk
DuMars, on the other hand, had
a slow start and didn’t tally until BBSS
12 minutes were gone in the half,
and by then Mounties were
way out in front.
In the second half DuMars got
Into the swing of things and
scored 10 points within six min
utes to cut the West Virginia lead
to 12 points.
Both teams battled bucket for
bucket for the nexl few min
utes and the Lions crept lo
within 11, 62-51 with 10 min
utes left.
Then the Mounties went into
high gear with West and reserve
center Bob Miller doing most of
the damage.
The Lions’ fate was sealed at
6:47 when West scored three
straight to give West Virginia an
80-62 lead.
From there the Mountaineers
just ran through the weary Lions
and wound up with a 30-point
bulge at the final whistle.
DuMars, who now has 76 points
in three games, connected on 13
of 25 field goal attempts and five
fouls for his 31 points.
"DuMars was terrific," said
Mountie coach Fred Schaus, a
former pro star. "He Bnd Col
ender are the best shooting
guards I’ve come up against in
my six years at West Virginia.
“The publicity out of State Col
lege says they’re the best hack
court combination in the East and!
1 won’t argue that.”
Asked to compare DuMars with
Hot Rod Hundley, West Virginia’s
great All-American guard of a
few years ago, Schaus hesitated
then said: “They’re both so great
it just wouldn’t be fair to make a

Penn State basketball fans will get theii
first look at Mark “The Magician" DuMars
tonight when the Lion cagers open their home
season against undefeated Syracuse at 8 p.m.
in Rec Hall.
The Nittanies come into tonight's ball
★ game, three down in the lost
column, and a big goose egg in
the win column.
Despite three sensational per
formances by DuMars, Coach
John Egli’s boys lost to NoTih
Carolina State, 65-53; Purdue,
63-54; and West Virginia, 104-74.
DuMars ripped the nets apart
for 22, 23, and 31 points in those
three games. That’s a total of 76
points for a 25.1 average.
Captain Wallv Colender, who
along with DuMars, gives Penn
State one of the best backcourt
combinations in the East, seemed
to hit his stride against West Vir
ginia with 20 points.
But after that Egli runs into
inexperience and height prob
lems. DuMars is only 5-10 and
Colender 6-1, yet they led the
team in rebounds with eight and
seven respectively against West
Virginia.
The Lions must get some
more help from 6-5 Paul Sweet
land, 6-4 Gene Harris and 6-5
Jake Trueblood (both sophs) if
they hope to end up on the win
ning side of the ledger.
Marc Guley’s Syracuse Orange
men have won three straight over
Clarkson, Cornell and Alfred.
Little Eddie Goldberg, just re
covering from a virus attack, is
an All-East performer and is
Syracuse’s top scorer.
However he might not start to
night unless he feels better. Pete
Chudy at 6-5 is the other Syra
cuse scoring threat and has a
deadly one hand push shot from
anywhere on the floor.
If Goldbeig doesn’t start.
Guley will go with Sandy Sal*.
The other starters will be cap
tain Dick Conover as guard and
Steve Berkenfeld at forward.

handsomely.
‘’Our zone defense has been the
major factor in our success so
far," McGuire said. “We’ve been
scrimmaging against Moe and that
has helped prepare us for game
conditions. Moe is such a fine
basketball player that playing
