PAGE SIX Gross' Top Six Cage Specialists THE TOP SIX basketball Lions, (I. to r.), Joe Piorkowski, Jack Sherry. Ned Haag, Captain Herm Sledzik, Jesse Arnelle, and l'ion Weiden hammer, are poised and set for tonight's curtain Courtmen O • . en-- Both teams are directed by former players of ex-Lion mentor, John Lawther. Starting his fourth year at Penn State will be Elmer Gross who played under Lawther from 39-41, while the Saxons have as their coach Jay McWilliams, who played for the Lions in 1936-38. So McWilliams is well versed in the sliding zone defense that Mr. Lawther taught and which is now being used by the Lions. The Saxons will enter the game with a slight advantage in the experience department. They al ready have three games under the hoop, losing one and winning the other two. Alfred Lost Once They swamped a future Lion opponent, Ithaca, by some 20 points and took a Brockport con test by 11 tallies. This was the first time they were able to beat this team in three years. Their only loss was at the hands of Cornell University. Incidental ly, Ithaca lost by only five points to St. Bonaventure last week. The Bonnies, an annual powerhouse in basketball, entered the NIT tourney last year and defeated Duquesne in consolation play. Successful Exhibition In their two winning contests, the Saxons used an all-court press with a dribble weaving offense, but it is doubtful if they'll use the same type of offense tonight since it isn't very effective against the zone. The Lions have just completed a very successful six game ex hibition program, winning five while dropping one. They defeat ed Lock Haven State Teachers twice, Juniata Colleg twice, and last Saturday avenged an earlier setback by knocking off powerful St. Francis and Maurice Stokes College. Score was 69-63 with Stokes getting 30 points. Most of the Lion starters are in good condition with the except- A HINT FOR YOUR .

"HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY" WALTER PIDGEON MAUREEN O'HARA BARRY FITZGERALD brash Meet JV's In Ca • e_Preliminary Coach John Egli's freshman basketball team will be put to its first test tonight—probably the toughest the yearlings will face all season—when it meets the junior varsity squad at Rec Hall. The .iminary to the varsity tilt .with contest , will be played as a pre Alfred University. Game time is 6 p.m. The frosh will be opening a comparatively short eight game schedule, all home games, and will meet the JV's again tomor row night prior to the State: Washington and Jefferson game. Leading the untried frosh will be sharpshooting Hall Brown of York. The 5-10 guard climaxed his last two years in high school with All-State honors before en tering the college ranks, He's a speedy play-maker who can hit from anywhere on the floor, and he should give the frosh a big boost. Brennan, Marisa Forwards . The big man on Egli's squad is Ed Hauck, a 6-6 center. Hauck Is a good man on the backboards and a fine shot from inside. Two more tall men, Jim Dowrick, 6-5, and John Hamilton, 6-4, will prob ably see plenty of action in the pivot spot and under the boards. Both are good rebound men and possess fine pivot shots. Jim Brennan, 6-3, and Rudy Marisa, 6-2, two aggressive for wards, will play a lot of ball at position. Brennan is - a driving type ball player and a very ef fective passer. Art Martynuska and Hugo Mori have been very impressive at the guard position, Martynus ka, 6-1, is an excellent ball hand ler and passer. Mori, standing at 5-9, is the small man on the squad.

He will have Mori and Rudler at the guard slots on one team, Hamilton at center, and Marisa and FieMk at the forwards. , Martynuska and Brown will handle the - guard duties on the second squad, with Hauck at the pivot slot, and Brennan and Dow rick at the forwards.
