SATURDAY. FEBRUARY. 24. 1962 Lagers H9it . Panth Harris Gets High Praise From Egli By JIM KARL Sports Editor Jumpin' Gene Harris, one of Penn State's greatest basket ball players in a decade, and silent' John„F'hillips, who over a three-year period was State's best percentage shooter, make the final Rec Hall appearances of their careers tonight at 8 against Pitt. Harris needs only nine points to reach the 400 mark 'this year. He has a 19.5 average and leads the team in rebounds with 266. Phillips, who dOesn't take manjc shots, usually hits more often than he misses. He is fourth in scoring this year behind Harris, John Mitchell and Earl Hoffman with 147 points and a 7.7. average. LION COACH JOHN Egli rates Harris along with Mark ; DuMars and Jesse Arnelle as ,the three greatest athletes he has ever coached. "They, were all great." Egli said last night, "but they were great in different ways. "Arnelle was.-big, strong and rugged. He could sweep the boards on .strength alone. Gene is more of a slashing, jumping -type ball player. He doesn't have the weight sd. he has to get in fast and get out. He has tremendous jumping ability and he's worked hard all year. I)uMARS HAD exceptional ability. ,He had what I call the third and fourth dimension of basketball he thought so far ahead and he had such quick re actions that he won many games all by himself. • "He had the quickest reaction time of any athlete I've ever seen.

Penn State may need some of that quick reaction time tonight if it. wants to beat the Panthers. -THE LIONS HAVE • been in a scoring ,slump of late, and unless they snap out of it soon they may find themselves headed to ward' another losing season. State is 11-9 going into the game, with ? two final road games on tap next week: In their, last five games, the Lions have failed to score More, than 68 points a game. They beatt Carnegie Tech, 52-45: defeated Gettysburg 60-43: lost to Bucknell '69-68: beat Army 49-36 and lost jto West Virginia. 79-60. On the other hand, State's kdefense has been just short of spectacialar. giving up an average !of just - 48 points per game in the 'four; garhes previous to West Virginia. STATE WILL START John Mitchell. Ulo*Kart and Hoffman ;along with Phillips . and Harris against the Panthers. This is the final game of the season for Pitt,' which at 12-10 needs a win to improve on. last year's 12-11 record. State beat the Panthers earlier in the year, 74- 62: at the Pitt Field House. Coach Bobby Timmons will prob ably start Brian - Generalovich, Ben ,Jinks, Cal Sheffield, Dave Sauer' and Paul Krieger.

UNIVER In a letter', to the editor in Wedne Collegian, Mr . .l R: C. H. Schmidt criti John Mitchell for his display of . dribbl' the final minutes of last Saturday's victory over Army at Rec Hall. Said Mr. Schmidt: "This type of amusement, while approj to Marcus Haynes' and the Harlem'clobetnii is out of place in an intercollegiate Conine; where the definition of 'sportsmanshipexc showmanship, .comedy, and .the ability itci-; a foul." First, Mr. Schmidt hints that showma and sportsmanship are not compatible. - • times they aren't, but there is no reason they can't be. Second, M'F. Schmidt 'ridiculed Mitch( print, comparing him to a basketball slow was simply pitting on a show for the c Nothing could be further from the truth, "I was just doing what the coach tol to do," Mitchell said. "We were. trying t the easy •shot." The incident which brought criticism Mr. Schmidt .was a play sent in by Coach Egli. Four rden line up along the base lin: line under the basket) while Mitchell or ; Donato, both , excellent ball, handlers, , , d by themselves in 'the backcourt; If the d( uses only one man .to guard the dribbl keeps dribbling and draws a foul. If the cil sends out two men• he passes to the ma unguarded, who has an easy shot... Good, basketball,,, , lVlr. Schmidt. Ai assistant Snowy Simpson said, "I haven't found to stop it yet."

This is completely uncharacteris4ie of Mitchell, who is a good ball handler and a cool competitor under fire. _Coaches and players alike respect Mitchell for his ability to remain calm in tight spots. "I'd feel.safe in an alley fight if I had Mitchol backing. m e up," said Simpson, "He's a _ tough cookie." Donato, who _teams with Mitchell in t e backcourt when he starts, feels the same way. "I rely on John a great deal when I play'," Donato , said . _ after the Army game. "Just knowing h s there calms me down." Mitchell doesn't know 'why he had the d night' against West Virginia, and he'd be t e last to make excuses. "I always have favored my right hand ;in dribbling;" he @kid on the bus ride home, "but it was more evident on that narrow court iit.Morgati town. Coach said that Dubois wail fouling me, but I really don't know; when yoU're dribbling like that, it's hard to tell." ‘. ition, ,ludes draw hip ome why 11 . in who owd. Mitchell had the ball stolen from him three, times in a row by Dubois. After the third time he had to leave the game- when Gale Catlett accidently kicked him in the head when he came up to help out Dubois. No foul was called.
