Cagers Meet Powerful Syracuse S
Orange Five
Ranked 10th
!n Country
By ERNIE MOORE
With but one game in the
books, Coach Elmer Gross’
Hittany Lion basketball team
faces what will probably be
its sternest test of the current
campaign when the Lions en
tertain Syracuse tomorrow
night at 8 p.m.
In fact, the Lions will embark
on what looks to be their tough
est week of the season, meeting
Syracuse, American university,
Rhode Island State, and Wash
ington & Jefferson in the next
seven days. Only the American
U. contest will be played away
from home.
Surprise Attack
Opening the season with asur
prisingly easy victory over Ithaca
college, the Lions displayed a con
sistent shooting game, connecting
on 33 per cent of their shots.
Captain Lou Lamie, who took
individual scoring honors with 24
points, hit on an amazing 42 per
cent of his shots. Ted Panoples,
who tallied 8 markers, had an
even better average. He scored
on 44 per cent of his tries.
The Lion defense against Uhe
Ithacans left little to chance. The
combination press in the back
court and tight zone up front dur
ing the first half had the Bombers
stymied. Almost 12 minutes elaps
ed before Ithaca could register its
first field goal.
Air-Tight Zone
In the second half, sticking
strictly with the zone, the Gross
men got even better results as
they held the Bombers to three
field goals and a total of 11 points.
Gross said he was “pleased” at
the Lions showing, but he wasn’t
elated—not with the Syracuse
game on tap tomorrow night;
The State cagers will have their
work cut out for them when the
Big Orange invades Rec hall. Un
der the guidance of a new coach,
Marc Guley, the Syracuse quin
tet is tabbed as one of the best in
the nation.
Tocci expressed his hopes of
placing a quintet with an average
height of 6 feet 3 inches on the
court before the campaign open
er. Since the frosh basketball
candidates have hbt yet engaged
in any pre-season exhibitions,
most of the time has been devot
ed to practicing offensive plays
and learning State’s zone defense.
The-former Penn State varSity
ball-handler said that the primary
goal of the freshman team was to
act as a stepping stone in develop
ing new basketball talent for the
varsity squad, rather than to'put
all the emphasis on winning
