PAGE SIX Mountaineers, Pitt Next for Cagers Owners of a .500 winning percentage for the fifth time this year, Penn State’s basketball Lions already have their bags packed for their second extended road tour of the season. Two weekend games will comprise half of the “Touring Lions’ ” coming road engagements. Coach John Egli will send his eagers against the Univer sity of West Virginia tonight at Morgantown, and tomorrow its the University of Pittsburgh in the Panther’s spacious field house—a one-tWo punch which should once and for all settle Penn State’s ability to win —or lose—on the road Next Wednesday the Lions travel to Bucknell and then, fol lowing a recess for final exams, visit the Naval Academy before returning to Rec Hall for a Feb. 4 contest with Boston University in the first of a three-game home stand. Tonight’s encounter will be number seven on foreign soil for the Lions. Three of their five losses have come on the road. Upset by Tartans The Lions will leave for Mor gantown early this morning, and tonight will face a team which is still wondering about the 68-66 upset win handed it Wednesday night by Carnegie Tech—earlier 68-62 victors over the Lions. The victory, which came on what has been tabbed the East’s biggest upset to date in the current bas ketball season, was only the third for Carnegie Tech, against seven losses The setback put the Mounties at 9-5 for tonight’s meeting with the Lions. 6000 Fans Expected More likely than not the Lions will be playing before a 6000- plus capacity crowd tonight in Mountaineer Fieldhouse, and the drawing card, of course, will be Rod “Hot Rod” Hundley, the Clown Prince of collegiate basket ball who has already been picked to top Marc Workman as West Virginia’s all-time cage great. Hundley, known chiefly for his Globetrotter-like antics last year as a sophomore, is said to have settled down a bit and is now putting more of an effort into winning games than in pleasing crowds. Nevertheless, laughs are still mighty close to Hundley in the “what pleases me most” cate gory. Smashes Scoring Record There no longer exists any realm of doubt as to his ability to be a big help in winning bas ketball games as well as do tricks with a basketball. Last year as a sophomore Hundley’s 711 points (23.7 average) broke the all-time single-season scoring record for sophomores and he is currently Frosh Cagers Meet Altoona Tomorrow By LOUIE PRATO Optimism and confidence is about the best way to explain Freshman Cage Coach Don Swe gan’s attitude as his team pre pares to invade Altoona Center tomorrow evening. Swegan, now in his second year at the helm of the Lion Yearlings, is certain that the frosh have the depth and abil ity to sweep past Altoona. With an average height of 6-3%, the frosh floormen hope to justi fy the confidence Swegan has placed in them by duplicating last year’s victories over the Moun taineers. Twice in the 1954-55 season, Penn State sent Altoona down to defeat. Both times Swe gan’s forces tallied more than 80 points; winning the first one, 82- 52, and the second by an 87-67 count . The outcome may be no differ ent this year. The Nittany fresh men have rolled up a total of 146 points in two wins over the Penn State Junior Varsity. However, both games are not counted on the official record. Altoona Owns 3-5 Record Thus the frosh go into tomor row’s encounter with a 0-0 rec ord. Altoona, on the other hand, has seen action in eight games, winning three and losing five. The starting lineup for the fra cas is still unsettled, but it will pointing for the all-time two-year collegiate scoring record. In the Mountainers’ loss to Carnegie Tech Wednesday night Hundley scored 28 points and grabbed 17 rebounds. Selected All-American Dell’s 1956 basketball magazine has this to say about him: (He was selected on Dell’s All-Ameri can Dream Team) “A court cut-up —but his scores count! If you’re talking about a young basketball player from WVU, the term “Hot Rod” no longer means a souped up car but refers to Hundley and stands for a razzle-dazzle ball handler and scorer who can speed down the court leaving opposition players open-mouthed in bewil derment . . Along with 6-4 Hundley, a for ward, Mountaineer Coach Fred Schaus will probably start Willie Bergines (6-6) at forward, Lloyd Sharrar (6-10) at center, Joedy Gardner (6-1) at guard and Don Vincent (6-1) at the other guard. Lions Hold 27-20 Edge The game will mark the 48th meeting on the basketball court between the two schools, who started facing each other in 1906. West Virginia won the first meet ing, 16-13, but over the years the Nittany Lions hold a 27-20 edge. Following tonight’s game the Lions will travel to Pittsburgh where they will remain over night for tomorrow night’s con test. 49'ers Name Albert SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12 (JP) —Frankie Albert, 35, who dazzled the college football world as its first modern T-formation quar terback, today was named coach of the San Francisco 49ers with whom he starred for seven years. Card's "Big Two" Sign ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12 (JP)— Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst, a $125,000 package of baseball tal ent, today signed their 1956 con tracts with the St. Louis Cardi nals. be chosen from seven boys. Lead ing the group is 6-6 Bob Edwards, one of the sparkplug’s in the vic tories over the Junior Varsity. Behind him are Carmen Palmiero, 6-5%; Dick Geesey, 6-7; John Reim, 6-3; Dick Schwendeman, 5-11; John Myers, 6-1; and Cal Emery, 6-2. Although he is the smallest man among the potential start ers, Schwendeman is highly rated by Coach Swegan. It was Schwendeman’s outside shooting skill which helped bring the frosh its second victory over.the JV’s. Palmiero Top Rebounder Palmiero, the All State center from New Jersey, is a big man under the boards. He teams up with Edwards to give the Frosh a one-two rebound punch. According to Swegan, Myers, Geesey Reim and Emery are on par with the aforementioned quartet, giving the freshman ter rific reserve strength. Since only 10 men make up the traveling squad, the frosh mentor will pick three more boys from his talent laden 26-man squad. Among the boys with the inside track to these spots are Vance Brem, 6-6; Joe Fenkel, 5- Jim Patterson, 6-5; Frank Bartkowski, 6-2; Tom Hancock, 6- Carl Seifert, 6’, and Paul Bauer 6-1. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Four THESE FOUR outstanding gymnasts will oppose the Swiss in their specialties tomorrow night at Rec Hall. The four (left to right) are Don Weissend. Gil Leu—freshman exchange student from Switzerland—Karl Schwenzfeier, and Armando Vega. Cline New Gym Captain; Lions Prep for Swiss Tony Cline, nee performer on the horizontal bar for the Lion gym team, was named captain of the squad yesterday after it was learned that former captain, Paul Heim, had dropped from the squad. The switch comes only one day before the international meet with Switzerland, and forced Coach Gene Wettstone to replace Heim with junior Walt Heiler in the side horse event. Heiler is re garded as an able performer on the side horse, and should be a dependable replacement for the departed Heim. Wettstone will throw a variety of experienced and green per formers against the highly-touted Swiss team, which arrives in Uni versity Park at 2 this afternoon. On the experienced side of the picture, * Wettstone has Karl Schwenzfeier and Dion Weissend. Schvtenzfeier will compete in every event on the program. The flashy star is remembered for his great achievements last year with the Lions. He won the Eastern and Na tional Collegiate all-round hon ors last spring and will compete in the Olympic trials to be held here in April. He is ineligible for intercollegiate competition this year. Weissend, who is one of Wett stone’s mainstays on this year’s team and one of the three all round performers, will compete in the long-horse jumping, the still rings, calisthenics, and horizontal bar. His favorite events are the horizontal bar and tumbling. The latter event will not be included in the program tomorrow night. Newly-elected captain Cline, who was. a frequent winner on the horizontal bar last year, will! appear in only that event tomor row. Probably the most heralded newcomer in the last few years is Armando Vega, who hails from Los Angeles. Vega, a soph omore. is looking forward to his first season of college competi- ] tion and if .pre-season indica - lions mean anything. He should have one., of the finest years ever known for a sophomore performer at Penn State. Wettstone calls Vega “poten tially the equal of Schwenzfeier and perhaps farther advanced as a sophomore than either Schwenz feier or Jean Cronstedt. Cronstedt was national champion in 1954 for the Lions. Like Schwenzfeier. the color ful Vega will participate in every event. His best event is the still rings with the side horse and parallel bars close, behind. Another newcomer, Gil Leu, who lives in Switzerland and who will be meeting some old friends today when the Swiss arrive here, will perform in the parallel bars, uare... •k k + ★ By FRAN FANUCCI side horse, .and horizontal bar events. Freshman standout, Lou Sava dore, will perform in the long horse jumping event, his best event. Wettstone said that the young gymnast shows a great potential, and should develop into an excel lent performer in the near future. Sophomore Bob Foht will also perform on the parallel bars, where he is regarded as an outstanding prospect. His excellent style and elegance should make him a consistent performer with the Lions during the next few years. Another sophomore, Jack Bies terfeldt, will also be in the open ing lineup, performing on the side horse. The Long Island youngster has impressed Wettstone with his capable routines and style. Senior Dave Kennedy will perform in one event tomorrow night—calisthenics. He is also an excellent tumbler who dis plays good talent and a smooth style. A complete rundown of the events with performers are: par allel bars, Foht, Leu, Vega, and Schwenzfeier; side horse, Heiler, Biesterfeldt, Vega, Leu, and Schwenzfeier; long horse jumping, Weissend, Savadore, Schwenzfei er, and Vega.
