Lagers to Use Faster Floor Game;
Host Carnegie Tech Saturday Night
Penn State basketball fzns can look for a faster, more!
wide open type of floor game this year when the Nittan,
Lions take the Recreation Hall hardwoods.
Coach John Egli has decided to switch from the co
servative brand of ball that the Lions have been using
the past three or four seasons and
concentrate on a high-scoring of
fense instead.
This does not mean that the
Gagers have forgotten completely
&bout defense. On the contrary,
Egli plans to stick to the familiar
3-2 sliding zone defense which
has proven so successful in past
years,
Strong Offense Necessary
This year. however, the Nittany
mentor feels that his club will
have to boast a strong offense if
it is to cope with some of the
high-scoring teams it will meet
during the regular season.
This season, the defense will set
the Lion offensive patterns. Dur
ing past practice sessions, Egli
has been drilling his team to take
advantage of all defensive mis
takes. Once the defensive com
mits itself foolishly, the cagers
should move immediately into a
potential scoring pattern.
The Lion coach said he was
pleased with the way his team has
been progressing, although he
said that "defense needs some
brushing up."

Reserves Key Factor
Record-wise, reserve strength
could be the key factor in the,
Lion season. Should two or three
of the reserves adjust rapidly to
the varsity brand of ball, the
Lions will be tough to handle.
Hancock. Edwards, and Perry
have impressed Egli with their,
play in practice. Egli said that
Perry was still improving and
has shown "a lot of ability, how
ever. he still has to learn by ex
perience."

Moore—Patterson
Title Bout Friday
CHICAGO, Nov. 27 (in—Archie
Moore, who is ready to prove that
life begins at 40 or more, has
nothing but disdain for hecklers
who intimate that Rocky Marci
ano may have pushed him over
the hill.
Marciano kayoed Moore in the
ninth round of their heavyweight
title fight 14 months ago. Rocky's
retirement now has brought about
a unique situation that will make
boxing history.
Patterson, by winning, can be
come the youngest titleholder and
the first Olympic champion to
take it. Moore will be the oldest
if he wins.
Penn State's 43 points against
Holy Cross was its highest point
total on Beaver Field in eight
years.

Strengthen Lead in Olympic Activity
MELBOURNE, Nov. 27 (VP)
Olympic track and field records,
proving as outdated as last Eas

possibility of at least one, and
perhaps two American sweeps as
United States aces go after their
'oth and 11th Gold Medals.
With the games entering their
ifth day and the halfway point
)f the track and field program,
America's overall mastery was
unquestioned.
The terrific American success
co date brought from Kenneth
Wilson of Chicago. president of
the U.S. Olympic Committee, com
ment that the team was "the
greatest we have ever fielded."
The U.S. athletes already hold
nine of the 12 Gold Medals decid
ed so far in men's track and field.
Even the 200-meter dash rec
ord hung up by Jesse Owens in
a fabulous field day in the 1936
games at Berlin finally gave
way Tuesday. Bobby Morrow.
the self-described "cotton farm
er from San Benito, Texas,"
cracked the 20-year-old mark
by winning in 20.6 seconds to
become the Olympics' first dou
ble winner in the sprints since
Owens in '36.
Morrow, who won the 100 last
Saturday. snipped a tenth of a
second off the standard while
leading defending champ Andy
Stanfield of Jersey City and
Thane Baker of Elkhart, Kan.,
in a sweep.
It was the first of two American
sweeps of the day, and the third
of the games, as the Yanks push
ed their leading point total to 262
points. Russia is runnerup with
150.
The other sweep came in the
discus, won by Al Oerter of New
Hyde Park. N.Y., with a rec
ord toss of 184 feet. 101/2 inches.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1956
It took a pair of sweeps and
a pair of records to keep the
track and field stars even with
American rowers, who capped
their most successful Olympics
with a brilliant comeback victory
by Yale's great eight. Beaten in
the first heat last Friday by Aus
tralia and Canada, the Elis came
back through the repechages to
nose out Canada and the Aussies
in the final and give the U.S.
team its third Gold Medal of the
rowing competition.
The Yanks also picked up two
second place medals and a
third—a bronze substitute for
the Gold Medal Jack Kelly Jr.
was shooting for in a•third and
last try to match his dad's 1920
triumph in the single sculls.
Russia's Viktor Ivanhov was
the, winner with Aussie Stuart
MacKenzie second.
Bill Sharpe of Philadelphia was
an unexpected fourth in• the hop,
