Costa, Tocci Co-captain
Gager's Two Platoons
Lanky Marty Costa and little Joe Tocci will c»-captain Penn
State’s 1949-’5O lioopsters for the coming court season Coach Elmer
Gross announced.
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.
