THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1962 halftime Harris Goes. Unnoticed But Lions Keep Winning Gene Harris speaks in quiet tones: shoots with a soft touch, impresses you .with. his sincerity, and • except for a few rare occa sions, goes•unnotiCed on the basketball court. If figures always spoke for themselves, Harris would be a'shoo-in for all-East honors. ; , He is one of the top rebounders and scorers from Maine to Maryland. , • r ' But Gene usually gets the job done so efficiently and effortlessly that no one but oppoking coaches seem to notice. OF COURSE THERE have been excep tions. Against Holy Cross in the Quaker City Tournament at Philadelphia Harris put on a terrific " scoring display, racking up 46 points to tie one record an&break two others. Arid japt month against Carnegie Tech Harris scored over half. of his team's points in 'a 52-45 victnry, over the Tartans. Mit those "rare ocasions" usually•occur only when his teammates can't find range, which doesn't, happen too often . The Lionsare fairly,well balanced 'in_ the . scoring' de- partment with Earl Hoffman, Hauls John . Phillips and John Mitchell capable of scoring ,20 points on any given night. When the Lion offense bogs down, how ever, Harris is the ;ban who picks it up. A fe* weeks ago a scout from Army watched Penn State play at Rec Hall, and in the 'confusion after the game he left behind-A very important item—a copy of his scouting report.. His, comm e nt on Harris was short and to the point; It, read like. this: •, "Gene Harris: He makes Penn State go."

' . Neither liarFis nor Egli was aware that Harris 'was appioaching the records until late. in the game. - "With 40 seconds to go I was informed that Gene needed just two more points to break the Palestra record," Egli said. "Then I realized that he had already tied the Penn State record.'.' At that point Egli had the-team call a time out and he set up a play lo give - Harris at least one more good shot. BUT SOMEHOW THE PLAY didn't come off and Bob Hutchinson ended up with the ball. He tried to get a pass in to Harris but was bottled up and the seconds ticked away. Finally Harris got the ball and took a shot, but it was off the rim.. With cat-like agility. Harris moved inside, took the re bound and scored to set a new school record. State lost all three games in the tourneys but Harris was named to the all-tourney team along with lowa's Don Nelson and George Leftwich, Hubie White and Wally Jones, all of Villanova. He was by far the outstanding player in the three day event, leading all competi tors in scoring (86) and rebounds (57). But even then Harris didn't get the pub licity he deserved. Why? Penn State finished in . eighth place in the eight-team tourna ment. ' BASKETBALL; SCORES Collage Vilimners H. ,Dugaaana •11 West Virginia NO.
