TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1952 Between the Lions Even though King Football has just begun his reign and is dominating the headlines, the troubles and headaches of his suc cessor, Basketball, are already creeping into the coaches’ minds. Penn State Coach Elmer Gross is no exception. He has some big problems. . \ As is the case with most colleges year in and year out, the big trouble facing State this season will be with the reserves, or better put—with the lack of reserves. Always a big headache to the coaches, it grew some this year when that on-again, off-again fresh man ruling once more came into effect. With the frosh limited to their own schedule, the main source of immediate reserves has. been taken away. The only way the Lions will be able to get along without the added strength of the frosh is if some good sophomore play ers show up from other colleges. So far, little is known about what kind of material is com ing from other centers. There fore, the main burden of play ing will rest on the shoulders of last year's team. “And what is wrong with that?” the fan would ask. “Didn’t they win 20 games and get a bid tov the NGAA playoffs, and weren’t they the best basketball team that State has ever pro duced?” Well, last year the prospects for another winning team did look good as most of the first ten were eligible to return. In fact, Penn State has the whole starting five of their NCAA tournament team back Wei d e n hammer. Sherry, Sledzik, Amelle, and Haag. However, Jesse and Sherry are on the football team and won’t be ready until December. Conse quently, they might miss the Ok lahoma City tourney and the three games before the tourney. Ronnie, the player who should do a good job in filling Hardy's shoes, has a broken leg and'won’t be able to practice for awhile, at least not until the cast if off and that is a few weeks away. This leaves only Ed Haag and THE ATHLETIC STORE Engineering Materials Sporting Goods By TED SOENS Assistant Sports Editor Captain Herm Sledzik for the opening practices and no likely reserves in view. True, Elmer Gross has towering Jim Hill and Jim Blofcker, but neither of these men saw action last year and, in addition. Hill is a doubt ful because of his grades. Another veteran of last year’s team who was expected to give some height to ■ -the squad was Whitey Makare wicz. B u t Whitey |p dropped out be cause of grades. ' ’*• * With only a few • if more. weeks xe ,% v v maining b e fore Hk' "" basketball prac , tice begins, the \ big headache is just who will be the reserves—who will round out the second an d third strings? Gross has the first five but they can't play the whole game with out the need of some restl If Penn State is to match last year's record a lot will depend .on the reserves. Some help might come from redheaded Ted Jackson, who played fresh man ball two seasons ago and from Jim Garrity, who is now playing end on the football team. So a lot will depend upon a group of untried players. For. without the reserves, a team can't expect to show a winning season.
