Earl by first name, forward by posi tion, leading scorer by ability and amazing shot "by-golly." At least that's the impression the 6-5 senior co-captain left with the nearly 6,000 fans that filled Rec Hall until it was bulging Sat urday night to watch a rejuve nated Penn State team upset heavily favored Temple, 78-51.

Bucknell could be State's seventh victim in nine starts tonight when the Bisons host coach John Egli's cagers at 8:30 in Lewisburg. ALL HOFFMAN did to the Owls was shoot a cool 62 per cent from the field as he chalked up 26 points, haul in 11 rebounds and bounce right into the top 40 scorers in the nation.

"He's an amazing shot," Temple coach Harry Litwack said in the dressing room following the game. "He played a wonderful game." All the talk' wasn't about Hoff man though. "This is as good a Penn State team as I've ever seen," Litwack said quietly while smoking a cigar. "They really outhustled us. We just got a real, old fashioned, humiliating pasting. I have no excuses. The officials were good and Penn State was good." A happy Egli agreed with wack. "THE BOYS really wanted to play ball tonight," Egli said after his 104th coaching victory. "This was our best game by far. If we had hustled like this in all our other games, we wouldn't have had any trouble being unbeaten." For Temple the game was a nightmare as the nation's fourth best defensive team saw its man to-man defense riddled by the sharp-shooting off Hoffman and the driving play of Ron Avillion, Bobby Donato and Bob Weiss.
