PAGE SIX Captain Colender Take Any Breaks Cage Can't Yesterday was supposed to be on off-day for the Penn State basketball team. And it was for everyone except Wally Colender, the hero of Monday's 62-60 win over Bucknell. The Lion captain, who threw in the winning jump shot with five seconds left, took a "busman's holiday" and spent his tree time "just shooting * * * wound" "It's funny," Colender said, "but the one night we get some free time I fuel that I have to practice or my shooting will fall off. I hope coach doesn't mind Ile wanted us to take it easy today." Those are typical statements from the crew-cut star from Trenton, N.J., who eats, drinks, and sleeps basketball. It's certain that John Egli won't mind the extra practice by his backcourt star, for Colender has been one of the most dependable players to wear the Blue and White in the last three years As a sophomore, he broke into the starting lineup and wound up the season with an 11.3-point av erage. Last year his 16-point av erage was overshadowed by the sensational play of his backcourt mate. Mark DuMars "Dums," as Wally refers to DuMars, "is a great ballplayer and it's a privilege to play with him. "Ile's a great shooter and play maker, isn't he?" asked Colender "He can do almost anything on the floor and Monday night was a good example It was Mack who really set up that winning basket," Colender explained that when the Lions called time out with the score tied at 60-60 with 15 sec onds left, the strategy would have been to let Mark drive in and draw a foul. "We figured Bucknell would expect that," Colender said. "so Mark said he would act es a de coy by driving and drawina two men on him. That way I would be open for the shot." That's exactly what happened when play resumed DuMars be gan dribbling and then headed toward the keyhole At the last I second he passed back to Col lenclei and Wally let loose with a soft 30-footer for the deciding tally Colender was the top scorer for State and his 20-point perform ance lifted his season average to 15 6 for 16 games.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Olympics Will Open Tomorrow Associated Press Sports Writer SQUAW VALLEY, Calif (fP) —Troubles piled on troubles yesterday with just a day left before the oft-harassed winter Olympic Games open. Nothing seemed to go right Timing was fouled up at the 400-meter speed skating oval, cre ating a situation termed ridicu lous by one official. Olympic planners were feuding with the International Hockey Federation over scheduling of the 30 games in the 11-day show that opens tomorrow. Cross country racers got lost on a practice course at McKin ney Creek, 17 miles south of here. Timing there was a mix up, too. East and West Germans, com peting under one flag, continued a feud that broke out Monday over the selection of alpine down hill-slalom skiers. Training on the ladies' down hill course was delayed because the run was too icy. At the speed skating oval, it was announced that world cham pion Eugeni Grishin's time for the 500 meters was 40 seconds flat, two-tenths of a second un der the record he set at the 1956 Olympics. But the 40 flat was the stop watch clocking. The electrical timer caught him at 40.3. It really didn't matter, since the clocking came in a time trial and wouldn't have gone into the record book anyway. But other discrepancies led officials to dis card all electrical times. About all that was proved was 'thatt the ice was fast and that the h)mers had better get together. reetings already have been sched uled. The cross country racers corn plained that the markings on the course weren't clear enough. IM Results BASKETBALL No games 'scheduled BOWLING League A Glenn Road 4.
