PAGE SIX Cagers Host St By RON GATEHOUSE One of the East’s most formidable basketball powers will test Penn State’s cage hopefuls to night in Recreation Hall when the Orange of Syra cuse, sporting a 6-3 record, challenges the Lions’ 5-4 slate. Game time is 8 p.m. Coach Marc Guley's quintet arrived in Uni versity Park yesterday, and worked out in Rec Hall last night after the Niltanies* practice ses sion, The Orange workout was a rare occasion, for seldom has a visiting cage team arrived in time to practice the night before a game. The same five which opened against Lehigh in the Lions’ last outing will open against the Orange tonight. Co-Captains Earl Fields and Bobby Hoffman will be at guard, Bob Ramsay will start at center, and Norm Hall and Bob Leisher will open at forward. Rudy Marisa and Steve Baidy, both of whom have done well in reserve performances in the Nittanies’ most recent outings, will be looked upon tonight for substitute duty. Hoffman continues to pace the Lion scoring attack. The 5-9 senior's 147 points in nine games gives him an average of 16.3 points per game. Fields is the only other Lion eager averaging in the double figures—in nine games he has hit for 98 points and a 10.9 average. To date the Nit tanies as a team have averaged 69 points while opponents have scored at a 71.8 clip. Syracuse, with the core of its 10-11 team back from last year, has scored impressive wins over Fordham (twice), Niagara, Cornell, and Navy.

JANUARY 11. 1956 use Tonight Tonight’s visitors have been defeated by Canisius, Holy Cross, and LaSalle—the latter loss came by three points, 75-72. Major losses from last year's Orange five include Jack Larned, spot player, and defensive ace Manny Breland. The two combined for a total of 294 points in the 1954-55 season. Leading the list of returning veterans are Vince Cohen, Jim Brown, Ron Gillespie, Gary Clark, and Jim Snyder. Cohen finished as last year’s team high scorer with 331 points. Brown, a stand out gridder and all-around athlete, was a close second with 314. Gillespie is the most experienced of the group, and works well from the pivot. Clark was voted the most improved player on the squad last year, and both he and Snyder can work the boards well and can score with a variety of shots. Cohen, a 6-1 junior, is an excellent rebounder and a crack shooter and his tremendous speed makes him one of the most spectacular cagers in the Eastern court world. Brown also contributes exceptional rebounding ability. In general, Guley lacks a good big man and depth, but the Orange has speed and balance, and is capable of causing plenty of difficulty. In his five seasons at Syracuse, Guley's Warns have won 61 and lost 50. Last year the Nittanies topped Syracuse, 107-85 at Rec Hall, and dropped an 83-60 decision on the road.
