TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1961 Lion Cagers Will 7th Against It's lucky for Penn State that Gene Harris saves his best shooting nights for Mark DuMars' worst. For the third time this year, Harris came to Penn State's rescue with a superb offensive performance as the Lions barely edged Carnegie Tech, 72-67, in Rec Hall Saturday. Harris' 24-point splurge was no surprise to Lion coach John Egli who saw the junior jumper come through with 19 at Lehigh last month and 20 against Colgate Thursday. DuMars, on the other hand, scored only 21 points in those two games. He had 14 Saturday but was 3 for 15 from the field. Egli's only hope is that Har ris and DuMars, State's All- American guard candidate, can get together more often. Tonight would be fine for a starter because the Lions face a tough Bucknell team (6-3) in Lewisburg, Pa., at 8. Saturday's win over Tech moved State's record to 6-4, far above what had been predicted for this date. "We're not a one-man team anymore, that's why we're doing better this year," Egli said. "These teams are pulling ex traordinary de fenses on Mark so they can stop him, but these other boys are capable of doing the job. "Harris proved th 9 t at Lehigh and against Col gate and he did It again against Tech. Look at. Jake Trueblood. He had 18 Saturday and John Mitch ell had 24 against Colgate. "As for Mark, he's even bet. ter than before. He's still scor ing (18.5) and his passing is great. "Saturday he fed Harris with some beautiful passes. I know I wouldn't have caught them if he had warned me they were corn ing. "You just never know when he's going to pass you that ball," Egli concluded. It was DuMara' pin-point passing 'to Harris under the bucket that kept State in Sat urday's game with the fired-up Tartans. Mel Cratsley's crew held the lead for most of the first half and at one point they led, 21-13. Then Harris and DuMars went to work and State began pecking away at the Tech lead. With Tech leading near the end of the half, 31-29, DuMars drib Freshman Cagers Debut at Bucknell Wally Colender, Penn State's 1959-60 basketball captain, makes his coaching debut tonight when the freshman basketball team meets Bucknell at Lewisburg. The game wit 3 also mark the debut of 6-6 W..yne Lundy, who many consider to be Penn State's next basketball super star. Lundy, one of the most sought after high school stars in the na tic.a last year, hails from Detroit. Mich. He played his high school basketball in Cincinnati, 0., where he made every possible high school all-star team. Besides Lundy, the rest of the starting lineup will be composed of Hulo Kart at center, Charley Marin at forward and Bob Da- Nato and Dick Dunn will be the guards. factory authorized VOLKSWAGEN Sales Parts Service $1624.00 WYNO SALES CO. 1960 E. 3rd St., Williamsport Five Tops Tech, Ey SANDY PADWE bled toward the basket, turned away suddenly, and fired a be hind-the-back pass to Harris who stuffed it through to tie the score. A pair of fouls by Trueblood put the Lions two up, but Fred Williams' free throw knocked the lead to 33-32, at intermis sion. On the first scoring play of the second half, DuMars combined with Harris on a fast break. Mike Flynn hit a jumper for Tech but then DuMars connected with Harris again for the Lions. The Lions held on to their slim lead the. rest of the way, but the hustling Tartans made it tough. State didn't win the game until the last 20 seconds when DuMars and Jake Trueblood sank four straight fouls to clinch the win, 72-67. The expected duel between DuMars and Tech's Bill Soffa never really got started. Soffa managed to tie DuMars in scoring with 14 but DuMars' superiority was evident when it came to play-making. Andy Komer and Flynn were high for Tech (3-7) with 19 points apiece. Tonight's foe, Bucknell, has pulled its share of surprises this year. Jake Trueblood The Bisons walloped Colgate last week, 104-82, just one night before State was forced to rally for a 78-68 win. Saturday, Dick Kniffen and Joe Steiner led the Bisons to a 75-69 win over Delaware. Box Score PENN STATE (72) CARNEGIE T.
