Untried Lions Face
NG State Tonight
A basketball rebuilding program which hasn’t been equaled for some time in the Nittany Vale gets
its initial test tonight .in Raleigh, N.C.
John Egli'g Lions, with only two starters back from last year’s squad, which finished with an 18-10
record, go against powerful North Carolina State in the mammoth Raleigh Coliseum before a crowd
which is expected to total upwards of 10,000.
The. Blue and White has been tabbed a decided underdog for tonight’s start-of-the-season en
gagement for at least three big
reasons.
First, Coach Everett Case’s
high - riding cagers, titlewinners
in the Atlantic Coast Conference
last season, are expected to walk
away with the crown this year;
second, the Wolfpack is paced, by.
6-9 senior center, Ronnie Shavlik, 1
who plastered, his court doings in
every comer of the ACC for two
consecutive years, and is now a
prime prospect for the 1956 All-
American team; and third, to
night’s host team inaugurated its
1955t56 season on a sweet note
Thursday night with an 88-63 win
over Florida State in an inter
sectional contest.

Case’s starting five, which av
erages in the neighborhood of 6-6,

On the other hand, the Lions
will present a starting quintet
which measures an average of 6-2
per man—one of the smallest
teams to represent Penn State on
the basketball floor in recent
years.
The Lion coach has decided to
go with Co-Captains Earl Fields
and Bobby Hoffman, Bob Ram
sey, Joe Hartnett, and Norm Hall
tonight, but indicated earlier this
week that Rudy Marisa and soph
omores Ron Rainey and Steve
Baidy will probably see action
against the Wolfpack.
Hopes for Speed, Hustle
With a definite height disad
vantage facing the Lions, Egli is
counting on speed and hustle to
combat a strong Carolina offense
which averaged better than 88
points per game last year.
The Nittany mentor expects the
Wolfpack to use a 1-3-1 zone de
fense and possibly go into an all
court press. Against the zone he
will use the starting five, but
against the press, he may pull
Ramsey and Hall in favor of Rai
ney and Baidy in order to keep
posessipn and tire the taller Car
olina quintet.
Lions Will Use Zone
Egli will use the “Penn State
zone” against the Wolfpack, with
three men sliding with the ball
out front and two Lion players
guarding the basket.
The Lions left University Park
at 2 p.m. yesterday, and traveled
to Raleigh by train. They were
expected to arrive at 5:30 this
morning, and will return imme
diately following tonight’s game.
They make their second ap
pearance of the season Wednes
day against Dickinson at Car
lisle.
