Lions Drill for Bisonsl
A tired, but game, Penn State basketball team returned to Recreation Hall yester- 1
day for a five-day rest from competitive action—a much-needed and well-deserved rest.'= fShrrnori-Ln-of Centre Countv)
The Lions, who played six games in the past four weeks, now aim their claws forJf «,» u .. . B * i •iu
a Wednesday night contest with the Bucknell Bisons at Rec Hall—their first home game'l *»V2 MIIBS trOffl oeiififOnte Oil nil. 78 JaCKSOnyilie

Coach John Egli gave the squad last night off, but plans to hold practice tonight,>=
Monday and Tuesday in an at-] ——: _
tempt to shake the cagers from! I
their minor slump. The Lions
have not won two consecutive'
games since the Temple—Pitt vie- 1
tories.
According to Egli, the Lions’,
Ijiggest problem in th:ir last five
games had been their inability
to move the'ball insidp for a bas
ket from their control-type of
fense.
They were keeping it outside,
instead, where little scoring
. could be done, he said. How
ever, he added that they showed
- a bit of that drive in the last
three minutes of the Navy
game when they staged a val
iant, but vain, rally in an al
- tempt to pull the game out of |
the fire. !
That belated drive, something'
Egli will strive to maintain for
the rest of the season, was the
only Lion consolation gained
from the Middie encounter.
Physically, the Lions returned
from-the Navy contest in good
shape—a little bruised, but noth
ing serious. Egli said the Midship
' men played a rough game, throw
. ing the Lions’ timing off in their
.shooting. “We werergetting the
shots, but we weren’t making
them,” he said.
Against Navy, the Lions again!
ran into trouble with their foul-1
ing Bob Edwards and Ron!
Rainey, the team’s two leading!
'scorers, both had three fouls ini
the first half, forcing Egli to pull;
them before the period was over..
Navy lead at half by only three,
points. !
According to EglL needless
fouling has been Rainey's big*
gest trouble in the past two
games and can partially account
for his scoring slump. "He's
fouling foolishly," he said,
• "which throws his game of! and j
causes him to press." Rainey |
scored only six points in both ;
the Army and Navy contests; I
he had been averaging 15.6 a I
game.
Commenting on the outlook for!
the remaining eight games, Egli!
said: “It’s still going to be a toughj
road. The clubs we play are just,
as good as we are.”
