Co-captain Egli
Returns to Lineup
Penn State's basketball team,
which has won four and lost one
during the current cage campaign,
will make its first 1943 appearance
in Rec Hall tonight when it meets
a strengthened Syracuse court
five at 8 p. m.
Co-captain Johnnie Egli, injured
for the last two contests, will re
turn to the starting lineup. This
will mean that the team which
started the season will again be
the opening combination for the
Lawthermen.
At the forward positions will be
dependable Larry Gent and
Whitey Von Nieda, who is at the
present leading the Lion scoring
with 45 points for the season.
At the center spot and pivot
position will be rangy six foot,
five inch Dave Hornstein. Co_eap
tains Herk Baltimore and Engli
will be at the back court positions.
Two substitutes,
.who saw much
action in the Temple tilt and will
probably be called on by Coach
John Lawther, are Jack Biery and
Jimmy Lawther.
In the Orangemen, the Lions
will face their toughest opposi
tion on the Rec. Hall floor this sea
son. The Orangemen were slow
to start this winter, but have come
along fast and should be in top
form for tonight's tussle.
Coached by Lew Andreas, who
is in his nineteenth year of bask-;
etball at Syracuse, the Orangemen
lost three of their initial qUartet
of tilts. They came back strong
against Niagara last Saturday and
will be a definite threat to the
Lion's 16-game Rec Hall winning
streak.
