Tomorrow nigh,
breed they are, will
tick. Jerry West, o
players, will be at •
The amazing
Cabin Creek, W.Va.,
credentials and press c
had the pros droolin!
The two-year All-A!nerican,
who was voted the Most Valu
able Player in the NCAA turna
ment over Oscar Robertson last
year, is off and winging this
year and he shows no signs of
. -
letbng up.
He's the seventh leading scorer
in the nation
with 313 points
good for a 26.1
average. His
shooting percen
tape 55%
is 12th best and
lie's averaging 16
rebounds a game
Nuff said
OK let's talk
about Mark Du-
Mars. The little
niagician.is only
three rungs be
hind West in
scoring. He has 195 points in eight
outings, that's an average of 24
points a game.
DuMars continues to pick up
the accolades wherever he goes.
Two of his latest fans are quite
important men in the college
basketball field.
Here's what George Kiseda of
the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph said
about him after the Lions beat
Carnegie Tech Tuesday: "DuMars
is one of the cleverest little men
in college basketball today."
Stan Hochman of the Philadel
phia Daily News hit DuMars' big
gest problem right on the head.
^lf he had the big city press be
hind him he'd make All-American
for sure." Should be quite an in
teresting evening tomorrow.
We hope that Ernie McCoy
and the rest of the athletic ad
ministrators can tear themselves
away from New York to see
the ball game.
They might pick up some tips
from the West Virginians on how
to have a major college football
team as well as a major college
basketball team. It seems the Penn
State officials haven't been able
to solve the problem yet. Oh well,
bitterness will get you nowhere.
This and that about the cage
;port— The Lions' Donny Wilson,
who broke his hand after the
North Carolina State opener in
December, Thad the cast removed
and is taking shooting drills • .
Should be about two more weeks
until he can go full speed . . .

luncheon for the teams at the
Keystone Classic in Harrisburg
One of the highly informed
speakers said that it semed fun
ny Temple and Penn should have
to come so far to play each other
. . . "All those teams in Philadel
phia should play each other once
in a while down there," he said

Closkey of Penn informed him
that the teams did play ... "That's
wonderful," exclaimed the speak

the good natured McCloskey . .

need to be an outstanding team

doing all right with what they
have. They're 8-3 ... Nobody can
really put his finger on the troub
les at Duquesne this year, but one
reliable source says there are too
many individuals on the team . . .
The Dukes' Ned Twyinan is the
brother of the NBA's leading
scorer, Jack . . . Jack's got quite
a philosophy on basketball , . .
He feels that pradtice makes per
fect, so he keeps in shape during
the summer . . . "I shoot 100 free
throws, 200 jump shots, and be
tween 100 and 150 sets each work
out," he said . . . Christmas is
over but we still would like to
give a gift to our beloved editor

Lehigh Wrestling Coach Faces
Gigantic Rebuilding Program
By JOHNNY BLACK
Take away a national cham
pion, two eastern champs and
two third-place EIWA finish
ers and you're faced with a
tough rebuilding job.
That's exactly the situation that
faced Lehigh wrestling coach
Gerry Leeman at the start of the
current season.
Graduation had taken a heavy
toll—Ed Hamer, eastern champ
at 177 and national titleholder at
167, Dick Santoro, eastern champ
at 137, John Driscoll, 147-pound
EIWA kingpin, and Leon Harbold,
winner in the EIWA 130-pound
consolation match.
Scholastic deficiency added
another third place eastern fin
isher, 157-pound Greg Ruth, to
the list of departed stars.
But Lehigh is a wrestling school,
long noted for recruiting and de
veloping superior grappling tal
ent. And Leeman wasted little
time in coming up with a corps of
flashy sophomores Bob Dalling,
Doug Baillie, Curt Alexander,
Dave Angell and Jim Detrixhe.
Leeman apparently decided to
go all the way. Not one senior ap
pears in his starting lineup, and
he has used as many as seven
sophomores in some matches.
The Engineers have won only
one of three matches but have
looked impressive in each out
ing and Nittany Coach Charlie
Speidel has been grilling his
men for what is expected to be
one of the toughest matches on
the schedule.
Speidel is expected to go with
the same basic lineup that has
whipped through an unmarred
season in three tests so far, but
may make one change at 130.
Donnie Wilson, ex-Ohio veter
an, who won five of seven
matches for the Lions last year
wrestling mostly in the 123-pound
class, has been rounding into
shape in recent practices and may

Their two losses came at the
hands of Cornell, rated as one
of the East's top three, and Okla
homa, pride of the Southwest.
Their win was a hard-fought
16-14 verdict over Syracuse. An
gell and Detrixhe have looked
the best among Leeman's sopho
more crew.
Angell, a 157-pounder from
Cranston, R. 1.. lost his first match
to Cornell's top-flight veteran Al
Marion, but has won handily in
his last two outings.
Detrixhe suffered a similar
fate wrestling in the 177-pound
clas at Cornell, but looked sharp
in decisioning his Syracuse and
Oklahoma opponents.
Alexander, conversely, has lost
all three matches, but this is no
reflexion on the ability of the
137-pound soph. His opponents
were three of the best in the busi
ness—Dave Auble, Cornell's na
tional champ, Les Austin, highly
respected Syracuse matman, and
Stan Abel, Oklahoma's former
NCAA champ.
Being juniors, 167-pound Thad
Turner and 147-pound Bob Gunst
seem a little out of place in Lee
man's young lineup, but the two
have been the most successful
wrestlers for Lehigh this year.
Both have 2-0-1 records.
The versatile Turner, a Phil
lipsburg product who is captain
of the Engineers this year, notched
one of his victories in the unlim
ited division. Only a draw with
Oklahoma's Larry Gregory has
marred Gunst's perfect slate.
