Lion Cagers Lose
64-63 in Overtime
By SANDY PADWE
Nis facial expression didn't
change throughout the whole
game, but underneath you
knew that coach John Egli
was eating his heart out as he
watched Penn State lose in over
time to Pitt, 64-63 Saturday night.
It was the fifth spmetingling
defeat this year for his Lions who
have a 10-10 record with two
games iemauning.
But what holt so much about
this loss was that State had the
game won until Mark DuMars
fouled out with 4:40 left.
To state it simply, DuMars
was magnificent Saturday. He
was hot from the field, con
necting on 10 of 16 shots, and
his pin-point passes had the
Pitt Field House crowd of 1309
gaping with awe.
So when he depai ted the scene
with 23 points and Penn Slate
ahead, 56-49, it's no wondu that
the Lions sorely misl-ed him
For Penn State without Du
nos k the same thing as a gun
without a tugger, and after he
fouled out the Lions completely
lost then composure
The Panthers, who led by
seven at half and then cooled
off, took advantage of "the ma
gician's" absence and quickly
narrowed the gap.
DuMar,' high k,chool teammate
John Fridle% cut State' lead to
56-51 and little Billy Mauro made
Iwo foul , . and 1.1 field goal to mo‘e
the Panthers within one, 56-55
with only 58 seconds left
Seconds later Penn State cap
tam Wally Colender, who ex
perienced the ma ct night of his
cat eci , made his only o points,
two fide throws, and the Lions
had a 58-55 lead
But Mauro came right back
with a 30-foot set shot at 0:22
to make it 58-57.
Pitt wa' full-court pressing and
Mel Ramey had the ball for State
AA hen All-Amei wan cnd and
hatchet man, Mike Ditka gently
nudged him. So Ramey had a
chance to sew thing , ; up with a
one and one situation.
His underhand foul shot hit the
back of the rim, took two crazy
bounces and fell out into the
wditing hands of John Mill
Pitt immediately called time
out with 15 seconds left They put
the ball in play at midcourt and
orked it around for the last
shot
Four seconds were left when
Mauro passed into Mills in the
pivot. Mills faked, turned to
shoot, and was clobbered from
behind by Gene Harris.
With two shots coming, one of
those deathly silences fell over
the Pitt Field House.
Mills stepped up to the line,
took a deep breath and lofted a
soft shot which hit the back of
the rim and bounced out. He

time tan out with score 58-58
Barney gave the Lions the
lead on a jump shot at the out
set of the five minute over
time, 60.58, but Mills hit a one
hander and Mauro made an
other set to give Pitt a 62-60
edge.
Dick Fa'encki iced the game for
Pitt when he cashed in on two
free throws with 51 seconds left.
The Lions came fighting back
on Bill Saul's foul and Hams'
last second Jumper. but Pitt's
four-point lead stood up for the
win.
