"Let me suggest to you that nothing will be

the system, they can leave."
As he explained the situation during Saturday
afternoon's sports activity, he looked around and
said, "These people out here at the games must be
here for some reason. That's spirit. 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."

the answer.

by Syracuse starter John Martell. 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

territory during Saturday's action. 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

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.

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.

Hannum Out
As a Coach;
Goes West
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Alex
Hannum resigned yesterday as
coach of the Philadelphia 76ers'
of the National Bas:zetball As
sociation. 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.
