A red-hot second half shooting performance on the part of the Penn State basketball i
team last night at Carlisle brought Coach John Egli’s Nittany Lions their first win of 1
the 1955. season over an experienced Dickinson team, 80-66.
Sophomore substitute forward Steve Baidy took care of
winning point total all by himself, connecting for 19 poi
nors for the game’s individual’
scoring honors.
The Lions exploded for 47 points
in the second half on a strong
splurge of team shooting after
finding themselves at a 33-33
standstill when the first half gun
sounded.
The score see-sawed back andj
forth throughout the first period
and was tied seven times. The
scoreboard read 14-14 at the nine
minute mark, but from that point
on the Lions were never headed.
Ramsey Fouls Out
As was the case in the Penn
State opener against North Caro
lina State, 6-7 center Bob Ram
sey committed five personal fouls
and was removed from the game.
However, before leaving the game
the big pivotman clicked on four
field goals and four fouls for 12
points.
Co-Captain Bobby Hoffman!
was runner-up to Ramsey for Nit
tany scoring honors with 16
points, and Co-Captain Earl Fields
had 10 for the Lions.
Don Leggett and John Kohl
meier had 15 and 11 respectively
for the losers.
14 m Second Half
Baidy, playing a few minutes
of the first half, connected for 14
points in the second period.
Early in the second half Hoff
man broke a 37-37 deadlock with
a jump shot, and the Lions began
to pull away steadily with Baidy
hitting from all angles.
All of the ten Lions making
the trip saw action, with every
one but junior Joe Hartnett break
ing into the scoring column.
The Lions led the Red Devils
in the field goal department,
33-20, but. fell behind in fouls,
26-14.

Ex-Lion in Running
For Coach of Year'
Bob Hicks, football coach at Juniata College and a former
Penn State football standout, is a candidate for the college
“Coach of the Year” award on the strength of his fine teams
the last two years;
The ex-lion co-captain, who played Ins greatest college
game against Southern Methodist in the 1949 Cotton Bowl,
has compiled a fine record of 17-9 since taking over the
Juniata head coaching post in 1954 from another Lion great,
Bill Smaltz. i ——
! By going undefeated this year,
Juniata owns the second longest
winning streak—23 wins extend
ing back to 1963—in the country.
It rr topped only by Oklahoma's
29 in a' row.
Because-, of Juniata’s outstand
ing record the last three years, it
was offered and accepted a bid
to the Tangerine Bowl an Jan. 2
after the close of the' ’55 season.
The only factor which could
possibly cause Hicks to be any
happier tham he is now would he
a wm over Missouri Valley in the
bowl game.
Although Hicks refers all praise
to his players when congratulated 1
on bis superb record, more than
likely the key to the team's per
petual winning streak is Hicks
himself.
. As a high school and college
star he was rated a top-notch end.
Probably the highest praise he
ever received was from former
Penn State coach Bob Higgins
who rated him "one of the best
I have ever coached here at
State”
Equally good an offense and de
fense, the brilliant pass receiver
hit his peak in the ’4B bowl game,
when he was on the receiving end
of a half dozen passes thrown by
Elwood 1 Petchel. His sensational
pass catching gained hint notice
throughout the country.
■ Hicks was named eo-eaptain
along with N. W. Norton the fol
lowing year, when the team ended
with a 5-4 record.
He played three years under
Higgins and one year under Joe
Bedenk. (The freshman rale was
waived allowing one more year of
college eligibility in 1949). He en
countered stiff competition from.
All-American Sam Thmburo and
Johnny Potskalaus, hut played the
kind of football which ordinarily
changes a coaches' mind when he
is thinking of benching a pTayeir.
• At Juniata Hicks is also head
baseball coach and junior varsity
coach in basketball, in. addition
to teaching physical education.
