TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1956 Dons,Dayton 1, 2 in Poll I>y The Associated Press As the college basketball season turns toward the home stretch, the race finally seems to have became stabilized with the University of San Francisco, defending national col legiate champion, and tournament-bound Dayton in the first two positions. For the ninth straight week the sports casters voting in The Associated Press first place to the San Francisco Dons by Dayton, which accepted a bid to the National Invitation Tourna ment today, held second place by a comfortable margin and the first six teams in the rankings remain ed in the places they held a week ago. The omy changes in the top 10 came as a result of Temple's first loss of the. season and Duke's noi-100-surprising vic tory over North Carolina. San Francisco, winning its 15th game this season and running its record winning streak to 42 straight at the expense of Loyola of Los Angeles, amassed a total of 1,166 points on the usual basis of 10 for each first place vote, nine for second, etc. Perhaps the biggest surprise in the balloting was that one of the 124 experts who cast ballots failed to put the Dons in the first 10. Another rated them 10th. The majority of the writers and broadcasters showed more confidence in the Dons, giving them 74 votes for first place and 27 for second. Dayton, with only five first place votes, drew 856. Vanderbilt, the Southeastern Conference lead er, edged out North Carolina Stale, which is only fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference al though it has the best overall rec- Nittany Cagers Win Ei (Continued from-page nine) and two hooks. Sophomore Steve Baidy hit on four of four foul tosses and hit on one jump shot and Joe Finkle collected three charity tosses and a set. Marisa and the Engineer’s Sei gel shared the night’s scoring honors as they each had 19. Le high’s Tom Healy was next in line with 15, while Hall and Rainey collected 14 and 12 respectively. State was way out in front in the shooting department as the Lions connected on 32 of 86 field goal attempts for an average of 37.6 per cent. Lehigh hit on 18 of 75 attempts for a 24 per cent ef fort. The Lions also outshown the Engineers on the backboards as they grabbed 79 rebounds to the losers 52. Hall was high man in this action as he garnered 16 to lead the Nittanies. Healy and Sie gel each had six to lead Lehigh. Egli said he was pleased with the performance of Rainey and the overall performance of the Blue and White' cagers. He said he planned a light workout for the Lions tomorrow but wanted' the team well rested for Wednesday's engagement with West Virginia. The Lions won their second con secutive game last Saturday even ing with a 42 point second-half to defeat Boston University 67-64. The Blue and White cagers trailed the fast-moving Terriers until four minutes remained in the con test when' they took a 57-56 lead which they kept. The men from Boston gave early indication of what was to come as they capitalized on Penn State’s inability to cut the cords and quickly jumped to a 12-0 start. Forward Rudy Marisa started the Lions moving with two free throws with 4:50 gone. The State men drew closer until at the 11:30 mark the game was tied at 19-19. Their momentum was not enough, however, as the Terriers recovered to pull to a 32-25 half-time lead. The lack of hustle and inability to. capture rebounds off of either hoard semed to be the Lion’s ma jor maladjustment in the opening half. Boston’s 6’7” center Kevin Thomas took charge in the re bound department and also led his teammates, in the scoring sec tion as he poured through a total of 27 points for the game. Whatever ailed the Nittanies was ironed out by Coach Egli dur ing the intermission as the cagers pulled to the lead ofr the first writers and broad ranking poll gave a ? big margin. ord, by-the slim margin of 755 to 746. Then came Louisville, Illinois, Kentucky, Duke, Temple and Ala bama to complete the top 10.

Ron Coder, now in the armed; sqpvices, and Dick Packer, senior and record-breaking captain of the Lions’ 1955 team, are the as pirants. Coder, who was an outstand ing goalie while an undergrad uate, achieved prominence in 1951 when he won the plaudits of Iranian fans while on a good will tour promoted by the U.S. State Department. Coder played under Bill Jeffrey, the long time mentor of soccer in the Nittany Vale. Coder’s “saves" brought Iran ian fans out of the stands to toast the young American collegian. Packer, who spai'ked the Lions to national championship recog nition during both the 1954 and 1955 seasons, scored 24 goals in 1955 to set a new Penn State single season mark. Packer’s 53- goal total for three years also rep resents a new career high at Penn State. Packer played the majority of his soccer at Penn State under Coach Ken Hosterman who took over for Jeffrey in 1953. Coder and Packer are slated lo play in the Easi-West play off this Spring from which Uncle Sam's 1956 team will be chosen. Still another pair of Penn State hooters, both undergraduates, are listed as alternate choices for the Eastern entry in the tryout g?me. They are Per Torgersen. a fresh man, and Thor Stelnyk, a senior halfback. nine-field goals and four foul shots for .22 points. Marisa was close behind with 18 markers on six fielders and the same number of free throws. • The Nittany cagers broke a four game losing skein by upsetting the Middies of Annapolis 70-65 last Tuesday. The contest de veloped into a see-saw affair until only two minutes remained with the score knotted at 64 all. Bob Ramsey and Fields moved the Lions into a four-point lead with a pair of free’ throws each, and Marisa iced the game in the final seconds with a fielder, after a Navy free throw made the count read 68-65. Ramsey with 16 and Fields and Hoffman with 14 each led the Nit tanies in the scoring department, while Middie Frank Pettinos was the game’s high man with 22. In a game at Bucknell during finals, the Statemen dropped their eighth encounter in a surprise up set to the Bisons, 81-74. Fields, Marisa. Hall and Ramsey hit dou ble figures while Hoffman, a con sistent high scorer for the Lions, was held to four field goals.

In addition to representing the company (Wilson. Sporting Goods Co.) Little Mo said at a news con ference that one of her main ob jectives will be “to promote ten nis among the youth of America.” “I will do some touring, giving talks on tennis and instructions at high schools and play grounds,” she beamed. “I think all this will help also in combating juvenile delinquency.” Bedenk Issues Call Tor Pitchers, Catchers Baseball Coach Joe Bedenk has issued a call for all pitch ing and catching candidates for the Varsity Baseball squad to report at 5:00 p.m. today at 241 Recreation Hail, Trackmen Record Two 3ds, Two 4ths Individual entries on the Nittany Lion indoor track squad failed i to garner a first place in four invitational meets run since the end of fall semester classes Jan. 19.

Eleven of the 12 men who saw action dented the scoring column with reserve Frank Barkowski also hitting in the double figures with 10 markers. Hancock Cuffs Altoona Tom Hancock, usually high in the scoring parade registered only five points but his defensive and rebounding efforts played a great part in the low Altoona score. But it was a different story at Annapolis where the Frosh Drib blers dropped a 77-55 verdict. Not only was the field goal percent age off, but the foul shooting ac curacy was even worse. Penn State made only seven of 23 char ity tosses, while the Navy frosh connected on 27 of 36. Palmiero Paces Attack Again it was Palmiero who led the Nittany scorers. His 20 points were also high for the game, but that was only because the Middies distributed their points equally among the first five. Little Dick Schwendeman, a consistant scorer among the Nit tany Frosh, tallied 13 in a losing cause. ghth One game before the Navy at traction, Bucknell’s freshman squad was handed a 63-59 defeat by Swegan’s team. It was the first loss for the Bison’s in 28 contests. The last time Bucknell had been beaten was in 1954-55 season when it dropped a 75-62 decision to the Frosh Cagers at Rec Hall. Court Press Helps The Lion Cubs trailed by one point, 56-55, with five minutes left to play but a full court press soon brought the Frosh into the lead which they maintained until the final buzzer. Tom Hancock’s 21 points gave him top scoring honors. Schwen deman with 11 and Palmiero with 10 also helped the winners’ cause.] Jack Flanegan, 19, Ellis Harley, 14, and Harry Danzig, 13, paced the losing efforts of Bucknell. Gridders Play 4 at Home Penn State will play its tradi tional four home games on the gridiron in 1956. Opponents in their order, will be Holy Cross, West Virginia, Boston University and North Carolina State.
