That intensity made Walton one of the finest and most feared centers of his generation...
...second half opened with a Penn basket--a 15 ft. Paul Little jumper--and the Quakers eventually increased the lead to a game-high 17 with 5:37 left to go. A quintet of Crimson reserve men outplayed the Penn irregulars, closing the gap to the final ten-point margin...
