Army's 'Chinese
Will Try to Stop
Ry SANDY PADWE
WEST POINT, N.Y., Jan. 13
—Army figures it has the de
fense to stop Mark DuMars
and Penn State here tomor
row. ' ■ i
It’s called the "Chinese de
fense” and it was good enough
to stop Ilubie White and Villa
nova, 64-49, in one of the season’s
biggest upsets Wednesday.
"It's really a half zone, half
man-for-man.” Cadel Coach
George Hunter said today after
sending his charges through a
light drill for tomorrow night’s
game which begins at 7:30 in
the Army fieldhouse.
“What we did was put two men
on White,” Hunter said. He ex
plained that the rest of the team
played a zone defense.
"Our defense was real good
against them. I don’t know exact
ly how many White had, but I
know we stopped him pretty
•well.” White, an All-American,
was held to 15 points by Army.
"It ryas a great win for us.
In fact, it was the greatest win ;
I ever had," he said.
Lee Anderson, a 6-6 center, was
mainly responsible for Army’s up-.
get which boosted the Cadet rec
ord to 7-4. “He scored 25. points
and did a wonderful all-around 1
job,” Hunter said.
With Anderson at center and a

Outside, the Cadets have two
capable performers in 5-10 Slu
Sherard and 6-1 Ron Hannon.
Sherard was Army’s top scorer as
a sophomore last year with a 19.1
average and he’s just a shade be
low that this season.
Penn State, a 76-58 victor at
Gettysburg Thursday night, will
be looking for win number eight
against five losses.
If Siate plays the same brand
of ball it did againsl Gettysburg,
the Lions will be hard to stop.
“That was our best game of the
year to date. Our defense was real
good and so was the shooting,”
Lion Coach John Egli said during
the long bus ride from Gettysburg
to West Point.
“You know something, they
have the potential to do better
and they’ll have to use it against
Army.” Egli plans to start his
usual lineup of DuMars and John
Mitchell in the back court, Gene
Harris at center and Jake True
blood and Earl Hoffman at for
ward.
Harris has been the Lions’ top
threat of late. In his last four
Igames the lanky junior from Pitts
burgh has pulled in 55 rebounds
and has scored 84 points.
DuMars, State’s All-American
guard candidate, still leads the
[Lion scoring parade with 212
: points.

By BRUCE HENDERSON
Although Lion gym coach
Gene Wettstone is disappoint
ed that Greg Weiss wasn’t
selected for the team that will
face the Soviets tonight, he
ihas one consolation —his star!

Wettstone said the possibility
that Weiss may perform against
the Soviets as an alternate will
! not keep him from going all out
