FRIDAY, 14A1T,cg. 7, 1962 Between the Lions Probably the most unfortunate aspect of Saturday night's game with Pitt was the inglOrious manner in which State's three, capable seniors had to bow out in their last home game. Surely such capers as, Co-captains Hardy Williams and Tiny McMahan, and Joe Piorkowski deserved a better farewell. But there was nothing for this eager tiio to do but stand hopelessly by and watch the fleeting moments of their collegiate home career flicker by. .. There's no doubt that Coach Elmer Gross will miss these three seniors immensely next season. If the NCAA bans freshmen from I varsity competition next year, Gross may find himself somewhat short of reserves. Imagine the difference in this year's record if freshmen had been ineligible. The first year men gave the squad the added strength and balance a top-flight ball club needs. The Lion mentor used eight men most of the campaigri and with three graduating, he will be searching for replacements. Many people overlooked the true value of Williams this season. It will be a long time before a more poised and calm dribbler wears a Nittany uniforin. His experience and• ability to , produce under tension was a keynote in the Lions . best season in history.

He has advanced close to fourth place in team scoring with 146 tallies. As a junior he racked up 194 points. PiorkOwski was one of the steadiest performers on the team. Although he didn't live up to the scoring promise he showed in the early part of the season he made up for that with his determination and ceaseless efforts. His coolness, ball-handling and defensive efforts were instrumental in State's surprising season. Perk managed to score 126 points for an average of 5.5 per game.

Gym Coach Phils to Give Jones Chance CLEARWATER, Fla.; March 6 (AP)—Nippy Jones, the St. Louis Cardinal discard, is getting a full shot at the regular first base job with the Phillies. Manager Eddie Sawyer says Jones is the man to beat for the job. That may be Eddie's way of trying the old psychology treat ment on regular Eddie Waitkus. But that's what the man says. Jones, an ex-Card who was picked up for the bargain $7, 500 price in the draft last fall, is taking Sawyer at his word. "I want to play someplace ev ery day," he said. "If I can't beat out Waitkus, I want to go back to the minors. Playing every day is the only way ,to convince people my back is all right." Jones underwent a serious op eration for removal of a disc from the base of the spinal column in November of 1949. Chtrlie Keller had the same sort of operation.

Gene Weftsfone Lion Coach Gene Wettstone will use 11 men in seven events with Jan Cronstedt and Al Wick seeing action in two specialties. Cronstedt will be used in the hor izontal bar and parallel bars events while Wick will go in the ,sidehorse and parallel bars. Cronstedt will also team up with Karl Schwenzsfeier-and Tony Procopio in the all-around com petition. Procopio and Schwenzs feier will also start on the flying rings alo 11 g with Jim Hazen, State's best in this event. Undefeated Bob Lawrence , small in size but tall in ability, will put his winning streak on the line in the sidehorse event. Lawrence has won five straight, registering victories over North Carolina, Army, Navy, Temple, and Syracuse. Wick will also see action here. On the horizontal bar, Mario Todaro will team with Cronstedt. Cronstedt, the Flying Finn, has lost but once in this event and that against Temple. Cronstedt will also , go with Wick and Bill Sabo on the parallel bars, On the ropes, Wettstone will use Dave Shultz, a four second man, and Johnny Baffa who is coming along fast. In tumbling, Penn State's weak est event all season, Wettstone will pin his hopes on Bob Ken yon. In the all-around competition, where Army and Navy are ex pected to offer little if any oppo sition, Cronstedt, Schwenzsfeier, and Procopio will go against the likes of Johnny Barkal, Ferdie Fournies and Milan Trnka of Syr acuse, and John Galente and John Jengo of Temple. If anyone had to be rated a favorite, it would be Barkal. Against State, he nabbed three second places. If Barkal can mas ter the rings, he should be hard to beat.

Tourney Team Must Be Good, Lucky Loeffler PHILADELPHIA, March 6 (W)—"You have to be good to get in and darn lucky.to win," is the way LaSalle College coach Ken Loeffler sums up post season bas ketball tournaments. Loeffler feels qualified to com ment on the subject, since tourn amentwise he's batting a thous and percent. The poet, raconteur and renowned basketball authori ty has coached his favorite sport at LaSalle three years, and three times his team has been invited to the National Invitation Tourn ament but eliminated early. Sat. 4 urday night his current edition meets Seton Hall in the first round of the NIT. "If the kids play the game they are capable of and get the breaks we'll be around for St. John's in the second round," he says, "but if we have one of those nights where all, including me, look like we've been out late the night before, it will be a short weekend for LaSalle." Incidentally, Loeffler isn't tak ing any chances on his boys being late to bed. The team has been bunking at a local hotel since Tuesday and eating at a hastily improvised training table. Th e college's swimming coach, Jo e Kirk, is acting as house mother. Loeffler said the idea was spon sored by team doctor John Mac- Tear. "The doctor thought some of my boys looked undernourish ed." Loeffler, whose LaSalle teams have won 63 and lost 16 for an .810 percentage in the past three seasons, feels his team faces a height problem against Set on Hall. His best player, Tom Gola, concedes five inches to the oppo sition's 6-foot-11 inch Walter Dukes. The elongated Seton Hall center is a great rebounder.
