court combination which is chal
lenging Penn State's Mark Du-
Mars and Wally Colender as the
best in the East.
Warner, another soph, is hit
ting at a 21.4 clip and gives the
Bullets added speed on the fast
break.

NIT Officials Contact McCoy,
Three Teams Accept Bids
Athletic Director Ernest B. McCoy confirmed reports
yesterday that Penn State had been contacted about playing
in the National Invitational Basketball tournament in New
York next month.
McCoy said he received a call from tournament officials
merely asking if Penn State
would be interested in the NIT
should they be invited.
He told tournament officials
that the Lions definitely were
interested, but he emphasized
that the call was just explora
toiy and didn't mean that Penn
State had been invited.
In order to receive a bid to ei
ther the NIT or the NCAA tour
naments, the Lions would have to
win almost all their remaining
games.
They have a 6-6 record to date,
but have been improving steadi
ly and have won five of then
last six. The only loss was to
mighty West Virginia, 75-73.

10 games left, four at home and
six away. They meet Gettys

Penn State and Army, This year
the Middies have won three in a

and Pitt, 54-42.
Lion coach Gene Wettstone will

Jay Werner, Bernie Buhl and
Walt Crilley will tumble. Werner
,has taken a first and a third this
;season for the defending Eastern
and National champs.
Crilley and Buhl are both in
experienced but Wettstone said
they are rapidly improving and
could score some important
I points.
However, the Lion mentor said
this "does not counteract the fact
Ithat the mats are the weakest po
,sition on the squad." Werner,
Wettstone said, has not improved
since the 1958 Easterns when he
took fourth place.
Greg Weiss, Lee Cunningham
and Dave Palmer are slated to ap
pear on the side horse. In the
two meets this season, Weiss and
:Cunningham have each taken a
first spot.
Weiss is the Lion sophomore
sensation who placed first on
the horse in the Pan-American
games. Cunningham, in the two
years he has competed for the
Lions, has taken second and
third in the EIGL individual
tourney.
