The Mountaineers Are A,-Cowin
Schaus'
herd
The greatest traveling road show in collegiate basketball
makes an appearance here tomorrow night when Fredddie
Schaus brings the cornpone kids from the \Vest Virginia hills
into Rec Hall for a game with Penn State.
Ranked third in the nation in both polls, the Mounties
have won 11 times arid lost only * * *
once this season
The blemish came in the finals
of the Lcs Angeles Holiday Clas
sic when California's zone defense
held All-Ametican Jerry West to
eight points for a 65-43 upset.
Schaus and his boys didn't
like the idea of losing to the na
tional champs by 20 points and
they look their wrath out on
Furman Monday night, beating
them 95-79.
A big win over John Egli's
Lions (3-5) would boost
then• stock even more and could
possibly move them up in the
national rankings.
The Nittany Lions, riding the
ciest of a two game winning
streak (Duquesne, Carnegie Tech),
have their own ideas.
An upset, of course, will be
the objective and with the rapid
improvement of Egli's big men,
coupled with the home court
advantage, a win isn't out of
reach.
And as far as Schaus is con
cei ned, playing in Rec Hall is like
walking through a chamber of
hoi rors.
The last two years here, West
Virginia barely escaped being up
set despite their number one na
tional ranking . •
The 1958 game ended 74-71 on
last minute splurge by the
Mounties and last year it was an
overtime affair, 89-91.
Egli had been toying with the
idea of letting Mark DuMars,
State's top scorer and defensive
man, play All-American Jerry
West. But he decided against it
because West is six inches taller
and his height advantage in close
would be disastrous to DuMars
and the Lions. •
West is the man who makes the
Mountie attack go, but he's got
some teammates who aren't ex
actly slouches on the hardwood.
Two of them are tee Patrone
and Jim Warren. the Mountain
eer outside men. Patrone is av
eraging 12.7 points per game
and has a 42 per cent shooting
average.
Warren was a complete sur
prise to Schaus this year. Not
South Favored
In Senior Bowl
MOBILE, Ala. (JP)--The South
is a slight favorl'.e to edge the
North in tomorrow's televised
Senior Bowl game.
Th c oddsmakers yesterday
quOted the Southerners as a 3 1 / 2 -
point favorite, possibly in the be
lie! that Weeb Ewbank is mak
ing a habit of beating Jim Lee
Howell.
Also, the railbirds noted that
Ewbank has loaded his defenses,
a formula he found highly suc
cessful in his Baltimore Colts' 31-
16 victory over Howell's Ne w
York Giants for their second
straight title pla3 rf victory over
the Giants in the National Foot
ball League.
The squads appeared a standoff
in workouts. The Northerners ap
peared not quite as big as the
Southerners but possibly a shade
the faster.
The overall weight averages for
the squads put the South at 207
pounds and the North at 206. The
South averaged 213 in the line,
223 from tackle to tackle, and
192 in the backfield. The North
was 218 in the line, 226 from,
tackle to tackle, and 190 in the
backfield.
