Cagers Upset Temple,
By DEAN BRUCK
Sports Editor
The word of the day for the
Penn State basketball team
might well be Hoffman. 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.
And if anyone isn't taking Hoff
man or his State teammates seri
ously, the Lions are ready to chal
lenge them. 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. The out
burst, upped Hoffman's average
to 20 points a game and .the hot

shooting hand drove his field goal
percentage to 46 per cent.
"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.
State surprised the Owls by
using a full court man-to-man

press every time the Lions scored
a foul shot. The alert Nittanies
picked off several stray passes,
converted them into baskets and
then dropped off the press as the
bewildered Owls dropped their
third game in ten starts.
State drew first blood when
Donato converted a foul shot and
then battled back and forth with
Temple until gaining the lead for
good at 7-6 on a drive by Weiss
with 4:27 gone. Two minutes later,
the Lions had built the lead to
16-6 and the rout was beginning
to take form.
The Cagers took a commanding
37-24 lead to the locker room at
halftime mainly on the shooting
of Hoffman, Weiss and Avillion.
Frosh Cagers
Open Season
Snowy Simpson's highly touted
Penn State freshman cagers will
open their 7-game schedule at 6:45
tonight, meeting Bucknell at
Lewisburg in a preliminary to the

.Given considerable scholarship
aid for the first time, the Lion
brass has assembled what they
considered a fine squad.

Ind., and Carver Clinton of Selma,
Ala., at the forwards; Ray Saun
ders of West Mifflin, Pa., at center
and Jim Reed of Richland Twp.,

Egli plans to go with the same
lineup that handled Temple, but
if he runs into trouble, center
Terry Hoover may get the call.

the Syracuse win, has recovered
and has been given the OK to
play.
Besides Hoffman and Avillion
at the forwards, State will start
Weiss and Donato at the guard
spots and Tom Malinchack at
center.
