ALL-AMERICAN IN ACTION—The greatest of them all, Jerry West, (44) shows why he is an
Ail-American. Not only does he lead the Mounties in scoring, rebounding, and assists, but West
also makes key defensive plays. Here he leaps high to block shot by Gene Harris (22) during
Saturday"thriller which the Mounties won, 75-73.
Virginia's 12th win in thirteen
[ outings.
In addition to his last second
steal, Patrone thrilled the huge
throng when he threw in a mid
court set shot as the first half
ended.
Colender's showing was some
what overshadowed by Patrone,
West and DuMars, but the Lion
captain played his finest game
this year :.‘nd along with DuMars
kept the Blue and White in the
ball game.
"Those two sure wore us out,"
said a relieved Freddie Schaus
after the game. "I said down in
Morgantown that they are the
best backcourt combination in
the East and naer tonight I
surely have no cause to change
my opinion."

Lions Play
Bucknell 's'
Tonight
Penn State may be without
one of its starters tonight when
the Lions take on an improving
Bucknell basketball team in
Lewisburg.
Jake Trueblood. who has been
averaging eight points a game,
came down with a heavy cold after
the Lions lost to West Virginia,
75-73 Saturday night.
Trueblood had a high fever
yesterday and remained in the
University Hospital over night.
His condition this morning will
determine whether he plays or
not.
If Trueblood does not make the
trip, John Phillips will take his
place in the starting lineup. The
rest of the starting five remains
the same with Mark DuMars and
Wally Colender out front. Gene
Harris at center and Paul Sweet
land and Phillips up front.
Bucknell has been rebuilding
this year after losing All-East per
formers Hal Danzig and Ellis Har
ley.
They've broken even in ten con
tests, and beat Delaware in their
last outing.
