Cagers to Test Colgate
Nittanies
Ready for
'Big' Pair
Penn State puts its qualifi
cations for a return to the
National Collegiate basketball
championships on the line to
night when it battles danger
ous Colgate University at 8
p.m. in Hamilton, N.Y.
The Lions, resting on the
brink of their second succes
sive NCAA entrance, could pave
the way for an at-large bid by
topping the Maroon tonight or by
whipping Syracuse in the second
half of their two-day road trip
tomorrow night. A double victory
or even a split will enhance the
Lions' chances considerably.
The Nittanies, who enter to
night's contest with an impressive
15-5 record, have won six games
in a row and are high in the list
ings of possible entrants into the
national tourney.
Their hopes for a follow-up vic
tory over the Maroon lie mainly
in the scoring abilities of center
Jesse Arnelle, who should top the
2000 point career scoring mark to
night or tomorrow. The big pivot
man has 1969 points, leaving only
31 to go.
Along with Arnelle, coach John
Egli will send guards Ron Wei
denhammer and Bob Hoffman,
and forwards Earl Fields and Jim
Blocker into action as the Nit
tanies seek to snap a five-year
jinx on the Maroon court. The
won-lost record in the 37-year-old
rivalry stands at 20-18.
The Lions had little trouble
whipping the New York club at
Rec Hall earlier in the season,
walking off with a 110-75 verdict.
The story was about the same
with Syracuse when the Orange
made its annual appearance here.
That one ended 10749.
However, both teams have been
hot and cold this season, and when
they have been good, they have
topped some of the best in this
section of the country. Colgate
dumped Cornell and was barely
edged by Connecticut , in recent
last week after the Orange had
play. The Maroon upset Syracuse
whipped Holy Cross and Niagara
in successive outings. Colgate
owns a 10-8 record and Syracuse
has a 6-10 tally.
The 10-man Lion squad left
State College by private car yes
terday afternoon. The party will
move down state to Syracuse to
morrow morning.
