Lion Cagers
Rutgers Rassles
With Two-Year
Depth Problem
North Carolina State, Dickin
son, DePaul—tjiese three college
basketball teams have combined
to give the Nittany Lion cagers a
1-2 record to carry into their
opening Recreation Hall appear
ance tomorrow night against Rut
gers.
For the second time in the still
young season the Lions will be
rated the favorites. The Scarlet
Knights this year have been
plagued by two factors which
provided the Nittanies’ Waterloo
in their losses to North Carolina
State and DePaul—a height de
ficiency and a lack of experience.
According to Leslie Unger, Rut
gers sports .publicist, the Scarlet
Knights probably will finish the
1955-56 basketball season with a
record only slightly better than
last winter’s 2-22 mark.
Added Team Height
However, a ray of light has
been .cast on the prospects for
Rutgers in the present campaign.
The main reason for the quiet
optimism is a great improvement
in overall team height, although
a really big man still is missing
in Coach Don White’s starting
quintet.
Improved Rutgers rebounding
is certain to be the result of hav
ing five 6-4 and three 6-3 per
formers available. The current
Rutgers roster lists only one man
below 6-0. He is. Bill Whitacre,
5-11, a starter on last year’s frosh
team.
Rebounding, where sophomore
Ernie Hansen and junior Ken
Eiker are expected to shoulder the
tmrden, should provide the Scar
let added strength.
Few Opportunities
Rutgers grabbed only 908 re
bounds to its opponents’ 1371 last
season, thereby having fewer scor
ing opportunities.. Last year they
scored a season total of 1703
points, while their 24 opponents
amassed 2104.
Experience is still a problem,
but six juniors and two seniors,
all veterans of considerable ac
tion, are helping to steady a
promising six-m a n sophomore
group. Second-year man, 6-3
Whitey Leaf; 6-1 sophomore Ed
Puk, and Hansen, 6-4, in particu
lar, have the inside track on early
season starting berths.
Even the most optimistic in the
New Brunswick' area, however,
find it hard to foresee the Knights
winning over one-third of their
eighteen scheduled games.

McComb Says
Smoking Rule
Is Satisfactory
The new rule allowing smoking
in the reserved book room of the
library seems to be working satis
factorily, according to Ralph W.
McComb, University librarian.
The new smoking rule has not
interfered with the operation of
the room, and students seem to
be taking care of the safe disposal
of the cigarettes, McComb said.
However, the original problem
of students congregating and talk
ing in the halls has not been
eliminated, McComb said. The
smoking can was lifted as an ex
periment to alleviate noise in the
halls. McComb said that the dis
turbance is greater at some times
than others, but he has had re
quests from students asking him
to obtain more quiet at all times.
The solution appears to be in a
smoking lounge in which students
could talk, smoke, and relax, Mc-
Comb commented. But at the pre
sent this would be impossible due
to lack of space in the library,
he said. He has asked the stu
dents’ cooperation in keeping the
halls quiet so that those who wish
to study in the library can do so.
