It's not some thing you make it's something you find. If there are 2,000 people on campus who have it and who really care, there should be some activity for them. E The cheerleaders should find it."

He struck out five in winning his sixth game of the year against only one loss. There was gloom in the State dugout between games. The loss hadn't been easy to take, especially in light of the ragged fielding performance. But Manderbach took over and when he was through there was no doubt about the game's outcome. He was practically a one-man gang, scor ing one run, batting in the other and turning back every Syracuse threat. "Gary pitched a fine game," said Medlar later, emphasizing "fine." "He's done a good job every time out." The win was the lefty's second in a row after a 1-0 loss to Villanova in 10 innings. The shutout MEI —Collegian Photo by Dan Rodgers GARY MANDERBACH goes into a full wind up as he • prepares to pitch to a Syracuse ' hitter.

They are pursued by a Rutgers' defender. The Lions had a lot of trouble with the powerful Scarlet Knights, losing 10.1 for their third defeat of the season. The Knights swamped the Lions in all categories, also taking a 12.3 edge in face-offs. Sharman Accepts Contract At L.A. LOS ANGELES (AP) Bill Sharman switched to the new American Basketball 'Associa tion to accept a coaching con tract yesterday with the Los Angeles Stars which could net him about $300,000 in seven years. The former Boston Celtics star will have the opportunity to purchase up to 10 per cent interest in the club. Three days after the 40-year old Sharman quit as coach of the San Francisco Warriors of the established National Bas ketball Association, his friend, General Manager Jim Hardy, announced he had signed with the Stars. newsstand PLUS "FREEDOM: WHO NEEDS IT?" by Richard Rovere SOREL'S UNFAMILIAR QUOTATIONS A new feature urnbinin slightly, distorted quotations with irreverent drawings' Orgime lowered his ERA to a sizzling 0.78. Manderbach started the scoring by beating out a throw in the third to get on base. He moved up on a single by Dave Fore and romped home on a base hit by Barto. Comforto led off the fourth with a single, advanced on Allgyer's single and scored when Manderbach beat out a bunt for a basehit. Scoring Difficulty The Lions are still having difficulty scoring in bunches. They rapped 10 hits in the second game and still scored only two runs. Barto's aver age dropped to .421 but both of his hits drove in runs. Joe Comforto continued his steady hitting and is now averaging .357. Allgyer, the starting rightfielder for the foreseeable future, rapped four hits in seven plate appearances and is averag ing .316. Kanaskie is hitting .309 and Featherstone raised his average to .283 with three hits in the second game. But the Lions just can't bring in the runs, Only Barto hits consistently with men on base. His 16 RBIs leads the team by a wide margin. With games against Lafayette and Rider this week the scoring famine makes the Lions' chances look bleak, no matter how good the pitching has been.

Jack Ramsay, the 76ers' general manager, said . immediately he preferred a non-player as Hannum's sue-, cessor, which would seem to rule out star center Wilt Chamberlain. Hannum told a 9 a.in. news conference he had resigned to return to his native Los Angeles, where he would build houses, or coach if a chance in the area presented itself. "I have nothing definite in mind," said Hannum. He ad mitted, however, talking with officia:s of the San Francisco Warriors of the NBA nd Oak land Oaks of the American Bas ketball League concerning their coaching vacancies. Ramsay, asked if Chamber lain was being considered as a player-coach, said, To my way of thinking the best situa tion is the one we have had the last few years, a knowl edgeable bench man. "I feel and Kos (76ers own er Iry Kosloff) shares my feel ing, that a man with pro coach ing experience is what we're looking for. The lady won'th protest too much .2,-; .
