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.

One independent and eight fra

son squad are 6-0 Don Leggett,
who will probably get the nod at
the fifth starting berth, 6-3 Ray
Weaver, and 6-0 Jack Wiley.
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.
Barbell Club to Meet
At Rec Hall Tonight
The Penn State Barbell Club
will meet at 7 tonight in the
Olympic Weight-lifting room at
Recreation Hall. Among the busi
ness items to be discussed
are the Eastern Intercollegiate
Weight-lifting contest, organiz
ing a trip to Shippensburg, and
awarding medals to the winners
of the Novice contest, held last
month.
After the business meeting, an
Olympic lift training session will
be held. 1
The club is also looking for a
198-lb. man to compete with the
team when it goes to Shippens
burg.
Perennially Tough
Penn State’s gymnasts, peren
nially strong, have won 21 of
their last 22 dual meets.

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
