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."

EVEN HARRIW ZEST EFFORTS went
for nought in . the Quaker City Tournament
in December when State was reduce(' to an
eight-man squad by injuries' to Bobby Do
nato and Hoffman and the abrupt departure
of, Wayne Lundy. , , •
Harris pgt on a one-man show at Phila
delphia's Palestra against Holy Cross, but'
State lost the game . 79-66. • • •
`ln that game Harris broke Jesse' Ar
nelle's school record of 44 points, bettered
Oscar 'Robertson's visitor's record of 43, and
tied the floor r ecor d set by Villanova's Bob
Schaefer. ' .
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.

WerOer Will Depend
On Distance Runners
(This is the first of a two part series on Penn State's indoor track
team. Today, the running events. Tomorrow, the field events.)
With the loss of star sprinter Bobby Brown. Lion track
coach Chick Werner is counting on a solid group of distance
and micidie diStance runners to do most of the point-getting
in the i door Competition this year.
Lea•ing tte distancti men will be Gerry Norman who
placed ourth in the .NCAA .three mile at Philadelphia's
Frankli Fieldjl6'st season. •
Nor an will put most of
during he indoor season be

when the thinglads move out

Normar's best 4ime for two miles
is 8:08.5, but tile lanky English
man thinks he! can lower that
mark. "I've belts working hard
and I think 1 con get under my
best tim- for two miles," he said.
IN A I DITION to N6rman.
Steve M orheadi Mike Miller. and
Howie D ardorff all have topped
