PAC-E SiX rs • - esum .11,1 1 .9 r ' . . - morrow Face Bucknell in Try for 7th; Split Four in Holiday Action t's a brand new year for Penn State basketball 'coach, John Egli, and the Lion boss is hoping for a fresh start as the 1955 session of the Lions' 25-game schedule opens. • The Nittanies, carrying a 6-3 record after a slightly dis astrous holiday round of action, resume play tomorrow night with dangerous Bucknell at Rec Hall. The cagers started the holiday festivities with a smashing 106-69 win against Rutgers, then took to the road where they lost to underdog Wayne in the opener of the. Motor City Tournament at Detroit, 71-66. They stopped Toledo in the con solation match. 71-53, and then moved over to East Lansing, Mich., where Michigan State tripped them, 35-74. Through the four game set, smooth-moving Jesse Arnelle con tinued his spectacular scoring spree and brought his point output to 233 for an average of 25.6 points per game in nine contests. The big Lion center collected 41 points against Rutgers, smashing the Penn State single-game scor ing record which he set in 1951 as a freshman Top 100 Twice The game marked the second time in four nights that the Lions had topped the' century mark. The first was a 110-75 victory over Colgate. The Lions slumped badly when they hit the Motor City. Carrying a 94-point per game average, the hefty Pennsylvanians could tally only 66 points with Arnelle ac counting for 26 of them. The big center went on to score 34 more in the consolation match and walked off with four tournament records before he was through. His 34 markers set a new single game scoring record, and his two game total of 60 meant a new tourney scoring mark. He also re corded the most foul shots at tempted and made during the two day classic. Trail by Two Pre-tournament favorites, the Lions couldn't find the shooting range against Wayne in the open er, and then missed an opportunity to catch the Tartars late in the contest. Trailing badly, the Nit tanies suddenly began to move and with less than three minutes remaining, trailed 68-66, but were never able to catch up. In the second game, the Lions and Toledo opponents in the eastern regional playoffs for the NCAA championship last season —went nip and tuck for 30 min utes before Penn State finally pulled away. A desperate and spectacular second half rally wasn't quite enough to catch fast-stepping Michigan State two nights later on Dec. 30. Egli's passers trailed', by 22 points at half time but'. roared back in the second half to pull within striking distance of the Spartans, but lost by 11 points, 85-74. Seek Seventh Tomorrow the Lions go after their seventh win of the year against a team that is one of the best small college quintets in the state, despite a 1-4 record. Led by sophomore Joe Bacelli, the Bisons could be ready to do a little hair pulling tomorrow. Last season the Thundering Herd em ployed a stalling offensive game against the tight Penn State de fense and managed to stay within six points of the Lions, 49-43. Coach Ben Kribbs has indicated that he might employ that strat egy again tomorrow. "If we find that our shots are not going! in," Kribs said, "we might try a little ball control. We lack the height to Pet many inside shots, espe cially against that zone, so the boys will have to keep moving that ball Until they get set for Nine-Game Statistics Arnelle, Jesse Blocker, Jim Edwards, Dave .....

Five other engagements have been slated for the thinclads, with the possibil Lion coach Chick Werner said The. day after the 11th annual Inquirer Games classic at Conven tion Hall in Philadelphia, the Lions will compete in the Wash ington Evening Star meet in the nation's capital. The remainder of the schedule Feb. s—Millrose Games 12 Quadrangular meet with Michigan State, Ohio State, and Missouri. 19—NAAU meet 26—IC4A championships Relay Team Werner said he will take a mile relay combination, a pole vaulter, and one or two hurdlers to the Inquirer Games and the Evening Star meet. Roy Brunjes, Art Pol lard, and Skip Slocum will run on the mile relay quartet, with either Don Matz or Rod Perry filling the other spot. Sophomore Harry Fuehrer will compete in pole vaulting competition and Perry and possibly Bill Youkers will run the hurdles. Brunjes, Pollard, and Slocum were rated by Werner as being "in a class with any three run ners in the country." Dave Lea them, Jack Morin; and Bruce Aus tin—three speedsters who will not be available until next semester —also have a good chance of cracking the mile relay outfit. Invitation Meets Many of the meets in which the Lions will be competing are invitation events and therefore Werner will not be able to take a full team all times. However, Werner said he would signal-calling for the East, and his fine mixture of plays, plus a few pin earned the award as the game's most valuable player. Garrity's successful conversion after the East's second touchdown snapped a 12-12 deadlock and pro vided the margin of victory. Notre Dame's .41-America quar terback, Ral p h Guglielmi, saw only limited action due to illness, giving Bailey 'the job of directing the team in the 30th annual East- West contest at Kezar Stadium, San Francisco. Bailey guided the • East to • its first score after the West 'had surged to a 6-0 lead. The Nittany quarterback plunged over from one foot out for the touchdown to climax a 61-yard drive. Garrity snared a nine-yard pass from Bailey on the West's one-yard line after it appeared the drive would stall just • short of paydirt. Garrity's extra point " attempt was good, but was nullified by a penalty. The next try was blocked and the score remained tied: However, the West scored again to lead. 12-6. Guglielmi then led the East to the final touchdown. With the score once again knot ted, Garrity was called upon to try for the "big" point: Garrity's boot was good, and the East hung on to its slim one point margin. Bailey paced another drive to. the West's three, where Garrity made a sensational grab 'of a six yard aerial. Gene Danser and Jack Sherry played in the annual Blue-Gray game and Ron Younker to 3k part in the North-South battle. Garrity will round out his col legiate career • when he plays in the Senior Bowl. of the stages, Don Bailey Most Valuable P ty of another being added yet, yesterday. call on his entire squad for the quadrangular battle at Michigan State. "This meet," the Nittany men tor, emphasized, "could be the fin est event of the indoor season. All the teams are strong, and will all be tough to beat." Last season the iourscirn , . of Pol lard, Leathern. Brunjes, and 011ie Sax sped to a 3:23 clocking in the mile relay to F,et a new In quirer Games mark. The old rec ord of 3:24 had been set in 1950 by Villanova. • Finest Competition The following day Morgan State and Manhattan finished one-two in the Evening . Star meet, with the Lions placing third. Manhat tan also took its turn al winning, and the mile relay competition was hailed as the finest ever seen in this country. In the Millrose Games the ba ton-passers set a new Penn State mark of 3:19.7 as they nipped Manhattan for the win. Pollard, Brunjes, Slocum, and Sax covered the four laps for the Lions. This season the competition once again appears to be of a high caliber, and the mile relay race— which is the No. 1 event in indoor meets—will draw some of the na tion's top runners to the starting blocks. Conversion Job Penn State, primarily a passing team in 1953, turned to a running game in 1954 and amassed an average of 268 yards per game along ': 1- te ground as it won 7 and lost 2.
