Hoffman (5-9), who was un able to report to practice until the football season came to a close, has made the transition to basketball readily and some what to Egli's surprise. Th e Lion coach attributes the rapid Win Sprees tallied 12 points with most of them coming in the last half, Lynn Stollmyer helped the cause with five tallies in addi tion to playing a good floor game.

The Lion sharpshooter, ap pearing in each of the Lions' 28 contests last year, connect ed for 123 field goals and 47 foul attempts for a total of 293 points to lead this year's quar tet of varsity letterwinners. Fields (6-0), also playing in 28 1954-55 games, was 20 short of Hoffman in the field goal department, but surpassed him by the same number in free throws for a 273-point total. Ramsey, tallest man on the squad at 6-7, has 14 varsity ap pearances behind hi m. Al though he ripped the cords for only 24 points last year as a sophomore. Egli expects him to be a consistent high scorer for the present squad. Hall, standing 6-5, would be considered a surprise starter by most Nitta.iy fans, but Eg li considers the Lion junior one of the "scrappiest" members of his present aggregation. Marisa, like Hoffman a "newcomer" to th e practice sessions due to student teach ing the past eight weeks, may not gain a starting berth until he improves his present form. He saw action in 23 games last year and connected for 164 counters on 63 field goals and 38 fouls. Egli indicated yesterday that Hartnett could be a possible starter in Marisa's pla c e. Standing 6-2, Hartnett is the fourth highest scorer among last year's returnees. In 20 games last year he hit on 25 shots from the floor and seven foul tries for 57 points. The Lion coach also hinted that Rainey is a contender for Hoffman's starting berth with Baidy close behind. Both were standouts on last year's fresh man squad. Both stand 6-2 and tip the scales at 185. MAC Tel YES But I do have jacket s—all makes, all styles, all colors, and all prices (in fact, these jackets are the allest).
