Cager Loss a Lesson?
Colgate 'Test' Will Tell
Nittany cage Coach John Egli is hoping that Wednesday night's loss to West Virginia
taught his team a well-deserved lesson: it must play its own type of game if it expects
to win, especially on a foreign court.
With tomorrow night's game against Colgate at Recreation Hall next on tap for the
boopsters, the Lion mentor feels that his team must profit by its mistake if it expects to get
back on the winning path.

Egli did say, however, that the
Lions kept battling all the way,
in spite of the strong West Vir-i
ginia lead. This was probably the!
only consolation he gained all
night.
In order to prepare for the Red
Raiders, Egli said that he would j
run his team through its offensive
patterns without any dribbling.l

half surge resulted from Lion.
