Intentional Fou l
Curbed by Offitials
"Maple', Mayhem," that quaint
way of projecting a football plot
onto a basketball, setting, is in for
quite a bit of toning down ,this
season.
Don't expect to see any general.
slowdown m the game but new
rule changes ,are going to take
away a great deal of the Spot-VS
roughhouse tactics. The .1.949r'50
changes are,for the most part
minor 'but' thy .will definitely. act
toward curbing defensive
ment: !"'
ito , 'ltifentiontd. Foul,
.
Most. Outstanding !of'
the., new
rules will try to eliminate the .in
tentional foul. near the .04 „Of:
tight'game. Now the' team 4ittall
the foul; will take the free shcif.its .
well as receiving the ball 'out.
bounds.. While the .charity tins is
being attempted during those final
two minutes the players will not
lineup at the foul line.
The center ..jump, which was re
moved from the rules about ten
years - ago
. to speed up. the game,
is back in part. This year the. bal l
will be put in. play by the- center
jump .at the 'beginning of each
quarter.
New Baurakboards
College' rules 'now demand
transparent rectangular back
boards. Th e
, new backboards, with
their. orange, hoops, have already
been set up at Rec Hall, ready 'for
tonight's contest.
•The 61d-style basketball, .'with
segmented covers; have been out
ruled. This year .only-'leather
covered; molded , balls are official. -
The center-jump is back - in an
other way. Teams 'attempting :to
stall by'll6lding the ball in the
late stages r'of a game Will be
forced to jump for possession at
the nearest circle. • •
The new • rules ' now make it
illegal for a coach to substitute. a
taller mandor one who is involved
a lump for possession .of the
ball. `•••••
Finally, the rules- proyide that
a shotlor a goal rebounding
. into
the backcourt will no longer be
declared.a violation-The ball will
. remain - in play. • •

"Last year we had a great season. We lost one or two because of
sremlins, but .we did all• right," said Charlie Speidel, coach of the
Nittany Lion wrestlers.
Coach Speidel .was referring to the .1949 mat combination that
went into mid-season •unbeaten, only to suffer disastrous losses to
01' Man Injury; The Nittanies then lost duel meets to Syracuse,
Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association team champion, and
always-formidable Lehigh. •
Close to 100 grapplers have •
turned out for • practice sessions
thus far. Speidel points out ,that
"you never can tell what you have
before the season opens, because
ybu can only tell by contrast. The
opposition makes you look • good
or bad."

Egli, New Lion Cage Coach,
Looks Fit Enough To Play
"Look for the tallest and huskiest man on the"gYm floor," I was
told- when I asked how I could find John Egli, Nittany - Lions' new
assistant basketball coach.
These words proved to be very descriptive of the man who
will assist in• directing the Penn State cage squad for the '49-'5O
season. The 28-year-old mentor still lcioks capable of stepping into
football 'togs and cavorting around the gridiron with the .best;of
them. .
For John Egli, who with his wife and three children, makes his
home in State College, this is really a homecoming..'-Not. only did
he star - with the Nittany Lion basketball team '42, .and '43,
bitt he also. played a lot of end .in two seasons for former football
coach Bob Higgins' grid aggregations. , •
Egli' is a native of 'Williamsport and attended South' Williams
-

bal4 and track. After four successful athletic years at Penn State.
• he played basketball 'not only hi the service, but also for a piofes
sional team in Greensburg, Pa. It was during the time that , Egli
played for Greensburg that they ended the.win' streak' Of the sen
sational Harlem Globe Trotters at 79 consecutive victories.
• 'After his term in the armed forces, Egli coached basketball and
baseball at Derry Township High School. From there he went to
the Dußois Center, where he served as • athletic director • and head
basketball' coach, until his arrival at Penn •State this year. '
One of his most unusual experiences in basketball came,at
West. Point with Penn , State leading the Cadets One - Point nar
