PAGE SIX Touring Lions' Play Red Devils Tonight In 2d Road Contest Hungry for experience and looking for that first win, Penn State’s basketball “touring Lions” travel to Carlisle today where they meet Dickinson tonight in their second game of the season. Tonight’s game is the second of three consecutive early-season road contests for Coach John Egli’s cagers. The Lions, hoping to even their 1955 card at 1-1 with a victory tonight, will be facing an experienced Red Devil squad, but won’t be up against' the height disadvantage they faced in losing to North Caro lina State in the season opener, 78-42 Same Five Will Start Egli said yesterday that he would start the same quintet which opened against the Wolf pack, Co-captains Earl Fields and Bobby Hoffman at guard, Bob Ramsey at center, and Joe Hart nett and Norm Hall at forwards. The Lion coach indicated that sophomore Steve Baidy will prob ably see quite a bit of action to night, along with senior Rudy Marisa and sophomore Ron Rai ney. Juniors Hugh Cooper and Jimmy Lysek will also make the trip. The Lions will leave University Park this afternoon and return immediately following . tonight’s contest. Lost Last Year. 81-63 Dickinson, the Lio n s’ 1954 opener, dropped an 81-63 decision to the Nittanies last year at Rec Hall. In a series which had its beginning in 1890, the Red Devils have failed to down the Lions in any of the 11 Penn State-Dickin son basketball meetings. Tonight’s host team averages about 6-2 and will field experi ence in four positions. Lettermen back from last year include 6-4 John Kohlmeier, 6-4 Bruce Cour ley, 6-1 Jim Connor, and 5-11 Jack Gould. Kohlmeier, Red Devil center, has paced Dickinson for two years in scoring and under the boards. He can drive or shoot the long one from outside.

In its opening game of the sea son last Thursday, the Carlisle school dropped a 77-67 decision to Lebanon Valley on the latter’s court. Stress Shooting in Drills Egli, hoping to round off the rough edges which showed up in the Lions’ Saturday night loss at Raleigh has been putting special emphasis on shooting, both from the floor and at the foul line. Against the Wolfpack the Lions hit on only 21.3 per cent of their field goal attempts—ll.o per cent in the first half —and took ad vantage of only 16 of 31 free throw attempts. Hoffman and Fields led the Lions in scoring connecting for 13 and 12 points respectively. In a substitute role, Baidy scored 7. Ramsey and Hall, two “big” men among the Penn State starters collaborated for a meager five points. Ramsey had one field goal and Hall completed three of six foul shots. However, both fouled out in the contest, Hall playing 24 of the 40 minutes and Ramsey 17. One factor in the Carolina game which pleased Egli was the way the Nittany offense, which has taken on a new look this year, worked. The Lions outshot the Pack from the floor, 61-57, but couldn’t cope with the winners’ 42.1 shooting percentage. The Lion coach was also satis fied with the Nittany zone de fense, which permitted the Pack to score 78 points—lo.B less than their 1954 season average.

PENNSYLVANIA \> i ‘ >*'H V -.? ■ ;; s?*’?^ | ' Honus Wagner, Baseball Great, Dies in Sleep PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6 (iP)— Time ran out for Honus Wagner today, and the baseball world mourned one of its all-time great stars. Honus died quietly in his sleep at the modest home in suburban Carnegie where he had been con fined for months by the illness of old age. He was 81. Tonight, as the first of the base ball faithful and his legion of friends began filing past his bier, expressions of tribute and regret at Wagner’s passing came from all over the nation. Wagner “always was a great credit to baseball,” said Commis sioner Ford Frick. The great Pittsburgh Pirate shortstop indeed had left his mark on the sport that was his love all his life. Honus, who ended his career as a major league batter and fielder in 1917, was one of the first choices for the sport’s Hall of Fame 19 years later. Playing in . the era of a “dead ball and great pitchers who threw spitballs, “shine” balls and other deliveries now barred, he led the National League in batting eight years, compiled a lifetime .329 av erage and never fell below the magic .300 mark in 17 successive major league seasons. He played 100 or more games for 19 years in succession, owns (Continued on page seven) X Jfcsf t\ a- f WHITE & WYCKOFF.
