Next 10 Days May Change
Conference Picture; State
Fails To Round Into Shape
By JOHN A-
.The next 10. days may*tell the stoi
Penn State’s roaring. Lions, perch<
feroncc pinnacle, move into their most <
face Temple’s dangerous Owls in Phi
rapid-fire tests. L
, • Kiding the crest of ah eight-game
to. the top rung in Eastern college circ
championship giory on the
block when they meet Temple tonight,
move, into Georgetown tomorrow
night, rush back home to. face Tem
ple. again- Tuesday night, then venture
into the lair of the Pitt-Panther a
week from tomorrow. -
‘‘Worse Than Ever”
On the 'outcome of, those . .four
ganfes may rest the answer; to the
Conference championship. Or -at least
th'e'answer to State’s chances. :--
: Rusted by *lO days of inaction ;be
-'cause of final-exam , week, the,-Lions
have failed to round into shape as
rapidly as was expected, and-. Coach
John Lawther obviously, is worried.
“They are worse now. than they
have ever been," Lawther 'says And
in that “ever" he includes the-night
of December 30, when Akron Univer
sity ripped a State outfit that, was
-destined to rear back and cop eight
in a row. ....
Lineup a Mystery-
' An indication of how bad.the Lions
have been in practice sessions .this
.week may be -gleaned froni the fact
that up to last night Lawther had- no
■■idea of the men who would.make the
week-end swing, much less of what
: the starting lineup would look like.
'Not only have the regulars. heen
; unable to shake off their lethargy,
but Sonny Hoffman, who. looks like
a budding star, has been laid up with
chicken pox.
, Meanwhile Temple, conqueror of
Stanford's’ Pacific Coast champions,
Southern Methodist’s Southern Con
ference kings, and Illinois’ Big Ten
co-champions, will present a formid
able hurdle for the-Lions to overcome.
Temple on Rebound
- Since.the .surprising 39-22 loss to
■* Georgetown .'dn ‘.their. .Conference • in
augural,-'. tKe’XOwls' have topped ''West;
- Virginia,: 34-31,; and Carnegie; Tech,
; 39-87, to move into second place, one
game behind State. ;
Also, in second place are'-George
town’s Tloyas, *who trampled Temple
I and Pitt, 50-47, before bowing to the
Lions here two weeks, ago. - On, the
rebound, on their own home court,
the Hoyas will, he tougher than alli
gator hide.
What may happen is highly conjec
tural. But there will,be no sparing
the pyrotechnics.
’The result may be the finest scram
ble the Conference has yet seen in its
paekjaufimed. career.

Frosh Cagers Face Bucknell
Here Tomorrow At 2 O’clock
By ROY B. NICHOLS
Presenting the same starting array that walloped Dickinson Seminary,
42-20, in the season opener, Conch Nick Thiel’s freshman basketball team
will meet a Bucknell freshman team in Recreation hall at 2 o’clock tomorrow'
afternoon.
Weakened by the lapse of practice during -finals, the fresh cagers are
undergoing intensive drilling in preparation for the Bucknell event. A prac
tice game with the varsity Tuesday'
night brought out too clearly the
staleness of the team.
Moffat, Sapp to Start
Starting the game at the forward
positions will he Ed Sapp and John
Moffntt. The guard posts will be ta
ken by John Ban* and Kermit Christ
man with .Norm Herr tipping off at
center.
With powerful scoring threats in
Moffatt ant! Sapp, and the clever
passing of Barr and reserve Ray Ed
gar, a return to the form that over
whelmed'Dickinson.- Seminary might
insure the game for - the yearlings.
Against the Seminary boys, Moffatt
led the Cub scoring with 11 points.
Ed Sapp followed with 8 counters.
