PAGE SIX Egli Pleased as Lagers Cop Scrimmage Game By RON GATEHOUSE John Egli got his best look at the Penn State basketball team last nigh t, and was quite pleased with what he saw. In a scrimmage game with Assistant Coach Don Swegan's freshman team, Egli's mostly-green but vastly improved varsity topped the fros h, 50-45, in its first real "game" of the year. With the 1955 opener only two days away, Egli's first view of the Lions in com petitive action assured him that the five players he decided to start against North Carolina State Saturday were thee_ right choices. Faced with a man-sized rebuild. ing program, Egli summed up his varsity's performance against the frosh by saying, "They lack the heighth, and have to make up fo] it in hustle—and they did. That's what impressed me most. If the: can continue to scrap for that ball and keep on their toes all year we're going to have a pretty goo' team." Will Stay With Ist Five Egli faced the yearlings with two-team setup, and found tha his first five, the one he had de• cided on earlier, makes up tho team that will be best set to gt against the Wolfpack. The starting quintet will look like this: Co-captains Bobby Hoff man and Earl Fields at the guard posts, 6-7 Bob Ramsey in the cen ter slot, and Norm Hall and Joy Hartnett at the forwards. Three Staters Improve The Lion coach was especially impressed with the improvement of Ramsey, Hartnett, and Hal. who have filled in three spots which gave him considerable worry at the outset of practice. The "new look" in the Lion of fense introduced by Egli worked comparatively well, with the out side players cutting toward the basket often passing off. "The defense worked well," commented the Lion coach, refer ring to the Lions sliding zone— a long time byword in Penn State basketball defense. Still Without Depth Depth, or rather the lack of it, continues to be one of Egli's ma jor concerns. Ten players on the Nittany 13-man squad saw action last night, and other than the first five, only sophomores Ron Rainey and Steve Baidy showed up well. "I was pleased with both, and they'll be a big help to us," Egli I said. Earlier in the week he said either Rainey or Baidy could break into the starting lineup as the season gets underway. Take 18-14 Lead The varsity got off to an 18-14 lead at the end of the first period, and was ahead 39-31 by halftime. They showed a considerable mar gin at the third quarter mark, but the yearlings began to close the margin in the final minutes. Hoffman, with little more than a woak of actual practice behind him, paced the varsity with 13 points, 12 of them coming from the floor. Fields followed with nine, and Hartnett and Hall clicked for eight apiece. Ramsey had five, Rainey four, and Cooper three to round out the varsity scoring. The game's scoring honors went to freshman Carmen Palmiero who connected for 15 points. Tom Hancock was the only other fresh man to hit double figures. He had 10. Palmiero's performance im pressed both Egli and Swegan, and the frosh coach was quoted as saying, "These boys (the fresh man team) are still a bit slow, but they're big and show lots of potential." 808 RAMSEY, varsity center, goes high in an attempt to score in the Lion varsity-freshman basketball scrimmage at Rec Hall last night. Two yearling capers cover Ramsey while varsity per formers (1.-r.) Rudy Marisa. Earl Fields. and Bobby Hoffman prepare for a rebound. The varsity won in its first test of the year, 50-45.
