Record Crowd Expected
For Initial Double-Bill
(Continued from page one)
over its up-state New York rival
for the first time in three years
by odds ranging to '7 l / 2 points.
If local basketball ever had a
box office athlete that player was
VandeWeghe of whom former
Lion Coach John LaWther once'
said, "He looks better every time
I see him." However, Howard
Hartman, who succeeds Karl
Lawrence as cage tutor, has lost
both Vande and his ace setshot
sidekick, Ed Brett.
SCORING MARK
Last year these two collabor
ated for 49 points to whip the
Lions 58 to 40. In that game
Brett set a Rec Hall scoring rec
ord with 25 points. State won a
second game, 45 to 40.
But with a new season, a new
scoring threat has burst upon the
Raiders' scene in lithe Curt Nor
ris, 5-foot 10-inch, 160-pound for
ward who in six games has posted
an 18.3 average. In addition,
Coach Hartman has received un
expected aid from 6-foot 5-inch
Dave Alton, who hit for 25 points
against N.Y.U. in Madison Square
Garden, and Joe Stratton, a soph
omore guard.
Colgate has won four games, in
cluding upset, wins over N.Y.U.,
83 to 78, and Princeton, 76 to 68,
m their last two times out, while
losing two this season.
DEAD SHOT
Norris, who will captain the
team from one of the forward
spots, is a deadly shot with either
hand and last year tallied 203
points. His running mate will be
southpaw Stratton, high-scorer on
last year's freshman team.
At center Alton will alternate
with Gene •Cremins • who also
stands 6-foot 5-inches. Alton
averaged 12.3 points with the
rookie squad last year and will
be assigned to Vandeweghe's old
slot in the key tonight.
Ted Stacy and' Jim Moore will
start at the guards. Stacy, a dean's
list stud,ent and physic ed major,
is Colgate's best set shot and will
bear plenty of , watching by the
State zone. Moore is one of the
most aggressive players on the
squad and can be recognized . by
his throttle-open drive toward the
hoop.
FIVE STRAIGHT
Penn State has hopes of taking
its fifth victory of the season, in
cluding two Dixie Classic tilts,
and thereby extending its home
floor winning streak to six in a
row.
Up until the holiday return,
Gross had his dribblers on the
court twice daily, going so far as
to hold one practice sessi4)n on a
Sunday night.
The Lions will average 6-feet 3-
inches in height and can be ex
pected to control the boards
against the fast-breaking Raiders.
They 'will employ the same zone
that was so effective against
Duke, West Virginia and, for two
periods, North Carolina State.
Against this formation Colgate
is expected to set up a 1-3-1
offense.
LOOK IMPRESSIVE
Gross' trio of timber-toppers,
Marty Costa, Lee Schisler and
Jay McMahan have all ..looked
impressive in practice scrimmages
during the past week. With Shis
ler, the State mentor continues to
be pleased. "Lee is becoming
more aggressive, the one thing he
lacked .all last year, and his one
hand shot is very good."
As usual the Nittany Lions will
pin their play-setting hopes on
Joe Tocci, crowd-pleasing for
ward who earned the recent Dixie
tourney's award as its second
most valuable player. Lou Lamie
will form the other half of the
State fast break and open at for
ward.
Schisler has taken over the
center spot leaving Costa and
McMahan at the guards. Held for
reserve duty will be Jack Storer
and Ted Panoples while Zeke
Seidel, Lloyd Amprim, Hardy
Williams and Ken Weiss will see
limited service.
Costa is the team's leading
scorer having garnered 60 points
in six games for a ten point aver
age, while the gignt sophomore
McMahan has canned 40. Schisler,
who has scored 58 points, Laurie,
55, and Tocci, 32, round out the
first five.
