THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Palmier° Scores 37 But Freshmen Lose Freshman cage star Carmen Palmicro's. 37-point record shattering performance last night on the Recreation Hall hardwood wasn't enough to stop Bucknell's Little Bisons from pinning a 76-67 setback on the Lion Cubs—the first time in a decade that the Little Bisons have claimed a victory on the local court. Palmier°, a former All-State forward from Brooklawn, N.J., ripped the cords with 16 field goals and five charity tosses in producing his final 37-point out put. Twenty-five of his markers were tallied in the first half. According to Varsity Coach John Egli, who before last season had been the frosh mentor, Pal micro's outburst has been the most points tallied in a frosh game since 1939—the year Egli made his de but at the Nittany Vale. In those low-scoring days of basketball, a team alone was lucky to tally 37 points. Thus Palmiero's scoring binge must be considered as the unofficial record. Palmiero's efforts last night were not limited only to scoring. The 6-6 forward continually pes tered Coach Bill Lane's quintet with expert ball-stealing tactics and excellent rebounding maneu vers. However, Palmiero's teammates weren't as successful as he was. The frosh cagers didn't have the organization or scoring punch that was needed to match the fine play of Bucknell.

Clearfield's Ellis Harley who had a gallery of home town fol lowers in the crowd—led the Bi son's scorers with 20 points, six on fouls Jack Flanegan, 18, George Mandkas, 11, and Harry Danzig, 10, were the next in line. Flane gan's baskets did the most dam age to the Little Lions—coming through in the clutch to dampen the spirit of the local aggregation. The Lion Cubs led by four points in the early moments of the game, but fell behind at half time, 39-36. It was the first four ,minutes following intermission that hurt the frosh dribblers. Bucknell tallied 10 points during ;this stage while limiting the frosh to one field goal and a free throw. Swegan's men drew to within six points late in the fracas but it was here that Flanegan went into his game saving act. It was the final game of the year for the frosh cagers and left 'their season record at 3-2. ENGINEERS it with ENGINEERS
