PAGE SIX Quintet to Play Final The Lions will go through their final pre-season basketball test this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Rec Hall when they face a powerful quintet from St, Francis. This will be the last practice tilt before the Penn State five embarks on its 21-game schedule starting Friday, Dec. 12 against Alfred University. In their last outing with St. Francis the Lions came out on the bottom of an 85-61 score. The Frankies, led by their potential all-American Maurice Stokes, proved too much on the rebounding and experience angles and walked off the floor with an easy victory. Along \with the 6-6 Stokes, the Frankies have several. other capable players in John Clancy, 6-4, Gene Phelps, 6-1, and Jim Duggan, 6-2. These four players were the main reason St. Francis took an 84-76 triumph over the Quantico Marines last Satur day. It was a very significant victory in that the Marines have several outstanding players, the most noticeable being Paul Arizin who played with the professional Philadelphia Warriors. Foreign Booters to Engage Lions Cop Six Nittanies in Exhibition Saturday All-Star Berths In a game designed primarily as a "color attraction" as well as a practice tilt to keep the Nittany Lion booters busy while waiting word on a possible Soccer Bowl bid, the Jef freymen will oppose a select group of fordign head-and-toe experts Saturday at :Beaver Field. Starting tune is 2 p.m. Lion soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey said the game would be a real spectacle to watch, for the foreign soccer players are excellent ball handlers and could give the Nittany booters trouble—until they tire from lack of conditioning. Jeffrey, who always has main tained that foreign soccer players are far more adept at playing the game than Americans, said it would be interesting to see how the Lion booters cope with the keen style foreign soccermen use. Jeffrey announced that the for eign squad would be composed of faculty members and students from all parts of the world. In all, 15 foreign nations will be rep-. resented in the contest: India, England, Holland, Indonesia, Greece, Germany, Scotland, South Africa, Korea, Australia, Wales, China, Canada, Bolivia, and Viet nam. The congenial Scot said that al though the members of the for eign team were from different countries, they still know how the game is played and, in most cases, can kick a ball better than American booters. Jeffrey's charges, however, shouldn't feel slighted, for they have compiled an enviable record over the 1952 season—seven wins, one loss, and one tie. The Nittanies own triumphs over Bucknell, Maryland, Colgate, North Carolina, D u k e, Temple, and Penn. Their single loss came at the hands of the Middies of Navy, and Army dealt the Lion booters their tie match. The foreign starting eleven will probably line up this way: Rus turn Ro y (India), goalie; D. Thompson (England), right full back; •Roy Shunil (India), left fullback; Klaas Eriks (Holland), right halfback; Bill Lefes (Greece), center halfback; J. Kaine (England), left halfback; Jo e Haller (Germany), outside right; F. Lietendahl (Germany), inside right; L. Soedapjo (Indo nesia), outside left; D. Schreiner (South Africa), inside left; and Peter Taylor (Scotland), center forward. Greek Ping-Pong Deadline Monday .

PENNSYLVANIA It will be interesting to see what Stokes, with his sweeping hook shot, can do against Jesse Arnelle and.his favorite jump shot. Both men stand 6-6 and both have a good eye for the hoop. But Maurice - will hold the slight advantage in that he's been prac ticing since November 1 while Jesse had his first basketball workout - last night along with the. other football players Jack Sherry and ;Bob Rohland. The Frankies also possess a terrific dribbler in this Gene Phelps. Last year in the final game of the season, all of the St. Francis players sat out for part of the game while Phelps dribbled around and around with no one able to get the ball off of him.
