two years and the question as to
who is better still iemains to be
settled.
In their first meeting at Rec
Hall last year, DuMars complete

scored 21 points while holding
Kennedy to eight with a master
ful defensive job.
Kennedy, a senior. narrowly
took the second round in Harris
burg earlier this season, outscor
ing DuMars 21-20 to pace the
Owls' 60-50 win in the first round
of the Keystone Classic.
Because of their past showings,
a large crowd is expected in the
Penn Palestra Friday to watch
the final battle between the two
Eastern stars.
DuMars has been one of the
leading scorers in the country all
year long and has a 21.9 average
in 20 ball games. Kennedy is just
a shade ahead of DuMars with a
22.3 mark in 24 outings.
Both came through with great
performances Saturday night.
Kennedy scored 30 points to
lead Temple to a 68-63 upset win
over St. Johns which boosted
the Owls (16-8) into contention
for one of the three remaining
NIT berths.
DuMars, on the other hand,
netted 23 points before fouling
out as the Lions (10-10) lost to
Pitt. 64-63.
