Warm-up Tilt Setback
Penn State basketball coach John Egli took a good look at his entire team in action
for the first time last night and the Lion-St. Francis exhibition contest at Rec Hall showed
him a lot about a team he's had only in pieces until this week.
As a matter of record the Lions lost the contest 78-64, but despite the loss the new var
sity boss was pretty , well satisfied with what he saw.
He now realizes that his biggest problem right now is time. With his ace center Jesse
Arnelle, forward Bob Rohland, and fast stepping guard Bob Hoffman in uniform for only
three days, he says he can't expect a top-performing ball club just yet.
"But they scrapped like heck,"
he said, "and despite the rough
edges," I think they're going to
come along.
"These three football players
must have time to condition them
selves to the game. There's a tre
mendous transition from the foot
ball field to the basketball court,"
he said.
The. Lions, playing their fifth
exhibition contest before the regu
lar season opener with Dickinson
Saturday night, kept pace with
the-Frankies for three and a half
quarters be f ore they finally
dropped too far into the back
ground.
Egli substituted freely in an ef
fort to get a better look at all his
reserve strength and used 11 men
extensively during the regulation
playing time.
Arnelle, although showing defi
nite signs of wear and tear from
a hard season of football, still
tossed in 23 points to capture top
scoring honors. Hoffman and
guard Ron Weidenharnmer each
had 12 for the Nittanies. High
man for the Frankies was guard
Emil Wandishin with 19 markers.
Maurice Stokes, the 6-6 center
who, along with Arnelle has been
a pre-season all-American men
tion, had 14 for the visitors, and
was the key man in their fast
stepping offensive game.
The Lions trailed until early in
the second quarter when Arnelle
dropped two free throws to knot
the score at 18-18. St. Francis
jumped back into the lead and
held it until midway in the third
period when Penn State went
ahead briefly. Ron Weidenham-,
xner's 25-foot set shot gave Egli's
quintet a 40-38 lead.
But it was short-lived. The
Frankies led by the versatile
Stokes, crept back into the lead
and then increased it to a wide
mar' i: , ----enough to coast through

second session of the young season; last.night, as six of 15 schedgled
bouts swererecorded.
In the first start of the evening, a 155 pound scrap, Tom Hayes
of Acacia displayed a troublesome left jam in defeating Dick Jones,
Sigma Pi. Hayes continually tied his man up and produced some
effective counter-punching at long
range.
Gerry Uram, Delta Sigma Phi.
successfully out-slugged his 175-
pound opponent, Ray Carlin, Sig
ma Pi, and walked off with a
unanimous decision. After show
ing to good advantage in the open
ing round, Uram appeared to
weaken in the second; however,
he came back strong in the final
stanza and solved Carlin's straight
left with a flurry of punches that
produced the victory.
In a 155 pound attraction, Frank
Billera of Sigma Chi received the
nod over Jim Yochim, Theta. Xi.
Despite Yochim's effective left
jab, Billera finished strong with
bull-like rushes and managed to
lAnd heavily on Yochim at the
close of the final round.
Walt Hough, Sigma 'Nu, dis
played good footwork and some
heavy artillery. in defeating his
145 pound opponent, Pete Reagan
from Sigma Pi. Hough was in
command the whole way and stag
gered- Reagan on several occa
sions. Reagan showed' a brief
flurry in the final round, but.
Hough's heavy punching was con
tinually finding its mark and he
had opened a cut around Rea
gan's nose at the finish.
Delta Upsilon, always a strong
threat sin, intramural- ring action,
produced its only winner of the
evening in the person of Kaye
Vinson. Vinson copped the 1165
pound nod over lanky. Gene Grif
fin of Theta Chi. Griffin, a little
boxer who alternately 'switched
from left to a right hand lead,
found Vinson continually under
his long lead and taking advan
tage of ‘ these opportunities by
pounding away with both hands.
The final bout of the evening
was stopped in the second round
when Iry Abramson, Alpha Epsi
lon Pi, sent John Cooper, of Chi
Phi, to the canvas with a flurry
of lefts and rights. Abramson had
scored heavily in the opening!
stanza with both hands, and had
opened a cut around Cooper's nose
at the end of the round. Although
Cooper began the second round
with a two-fisted attack, Abram
son again found the range with
both hands landing to the head,
and finally dropped the Chi Phil
with a hard right to the jaw.
