Both forwards are on the slim side but are speed merchants who know how to get under the basket and score. Two senior guards, Jerry Pala tini and Bob Plunket, will handle Colgate's ball handling chores. Both backcourtsmen played in all of the Red Raiders games last year and scored 142 points be tween them. SIMON READY Milt Simon and Joe Tocci will have to carry the brunt of State's offensive hopes, at the guard po sitions. Simon, the Lions' blond bomber, has been held in check by a charley horse most of this seasqn, but during the last few games the shifty senior has been steadily rounding into shape. Tocci, one of the two out-of staters on the State squad, has developed into a scoring threat and can be counted upon to aid Simon in the offense department. At center, Lawther will start Marty Costa, giant 6-foot 6-inch pivot performer, who, despite a tendency to tire late in the game, has injected a lot of fight into the squad, in addition to dropping 31 points in four games. Syl 'Stretch' Bozinski will spell Costa at the tap position. LAMIE REPLACES NORDBLOM Terry Ruhlman, wh o still hasn't found his scoring eye, but may break out tonight, and Lou Lamie. replacing Carl Nordblom, will be at the forward spots. Laurie, a sophomore with great potentialities, figures prominently in Lawther's plans after the ail ing Nordblom's return to action. Other members of the N ittany varsity scheduled to see action are Ken Weiss, a set-shot spe ctalist who is coming along fast, and Lee Schisler, 6-foot 5-inch junior.
