The two popular seniors, elected by their letter-winning team mates recently, will each assume leadership of one of the two pla toons which Coach Gross plans to'use this season. In his first two seasons of in tercollegiate play, Costa, 6-foot 6-inch pivot-man, has scoied 129 points. Tlie fact that the Freder icksburg athlete had never played with a varsity team until his second year in college makes this feat all the more remarkable. TRANSFER STUDENT A junior transfer from Mohawk Junior College, Tocci hails from New York City. He is one of the few out-of-staters on the squad. During his first year as a Nittany courtsman, in 1948, he attracted wide acclaim as one of the smoothest all-around players ever to play for the Blue and White. Both Gross and assistant coach John Egli rate the dynamic 5-foot 5-inch guard as one of the best dribblers in the nation today. Last year ‘Little Joe’ came through with 106 points, and at the completion of the court sea son was named, along with Milt Simon, to Pittsburgh’s first team all-opponent squad. SERVICE RECORDS Both veterans, Costa served 26 months as an Infantryman and received both the purple heart and silver star while fighting on the Italian front. Tocci served with the Navy. Costa and Tocci head a list of nine returnees to the 1949-’5O. squad who have been working Since the middle of October under the watchful eye of Gross, who succeeded John Lawther at the head of the Blue and White. Other members of last year’s varsity array which won nine while losing ten games are Lou Lamie, Ken Weiss, Lee Schisler, Bob McKown, Tom Schuptar, Lloyd . Amprim and Jack Storer. The last two named have just finished a full season’s play with Coach Joe Bedenk’s eleven and are expected to put in an appear ance in Rec Hall early this week. The opening game will pit the Lions against Susquehanna Col lege at Rec Hall on Dec. 6. Nine of- Penn State’s twenty games will be played at home. Following custom, the Lions will not floor, a junior varsity team. Pep Up Your Pipe With HEINE'S BLEND ... The Smoking Tobacco With a B.F.A.* Degree! ‘Better Feminine Appeal!
