WEDNESDAY. FEBRUAR' Hancock, Scfii Lion Tout By VINCE CAROCCI Sophomore’s Tom Hancock and Greg Schwendeman will make their first starting appearance of the season when the Nittany cagers test a tough Bucknell squad tonight' at Recreation Hall. The Lion-Bison freshman teams will play in a preliminary contest at 7 p.m. The varsity encounter will start immediately after the frosh game. Coach John Egli, after watch ing his player-experiment in ac tion for the past three practice sessions, ’decided to go with the! gamble in hopes of reinstalling the early-season drive into the eager offense. Hancock will replace veteran Bob Ramsay at center, white Schwendeman will start at guard with Sieve Baidy prob ably switching to forward in place of Ron Rainey. Captain Bob Leisher will han dle the other guard slot with sophomore Bob Edwards joining Braidy at forward. Egli realizes that he is taking a gamble in benching Rainey, the team’s leading scorer, but he feels that now is the time for drastic action with Penn and West Vir ginia on tap this-weekend. According to Egli, both Schwen deman and Hancock were impres sive in practice. Schwendeman, although weak on defense be cause of his height—he’s only 5-9 —has been playing top offensive ball of late. His accurate set shooting won the Army game and almost pulled a victory out of the fire against Navy. Hancock, one of ihe lop re bounders on the club, was the key figure in fhe second Rut gers win with his rebounding and scoring. According io Egli, he is improving steadily with experience and should be ready to handle a starling berth. Egli was impressed with the eager’s aggressiveness during the! past three practice sessions. He' singled Baidy out as the most con-' sistent aggressive player on the team, but commended all the play ers for their drive during the: workouts. The Lion mentor is looking for a close contest with the. Bisons. “Bucknell’s going to be tough ... this is probably their best club in years," he said. The Bisons, 11-5 on the season, who have played some of the top teams in the east in Pitt, Lafay ette and West Virginia Tech, were upset by Wagner last Saturday night 70-57. Hal Danzig, 6-6 center, and Joe Bacelli have been Buck nell's two leading scoring threats with Co-Captain Marty Tannenbaum a close third. All three are expected to be in Coach Ben Kribb's starling line up tonight. _ The remainder of the Bison lineup wiU probably be selected from Bob Ericcson, Ellis Harley, John Striz'zi or Dick Kniffen. Any or all of the aforementioned group could break into the start ing lineup.

The Lion frosh enter the con test with an 0-1 record, after dropping a 74-48 decision to Navy last week. Bucknell has lost but two of its games, having played several more tilts than has Penn State. Coach Don Swegan will send! the same lineup against the Bi-i sons that started in the Navy en-i counter. Paul Sweetland will han-l die the center post, Lou Meyers and Prank Magalski will open at forwards, and Wallv Colender will play one of the 'guard slots, while Larry Freedman and Mel Ramey battle for the other. Ra mey’s bid comes on the strength of his fine second-half perform ance against the Middies. ' Sweetland has proven a strong ballplayer with good potential. With the loss of Jack Ray and Don Early, a fine pair of rebound ers, from the squad, he has had to carry the Lions’ backboard game, and his board work has been looking better.

(March 3). Police today arrested the foul felon who heisted the cash reg- ister at Jones’ Gas Station. When arrested, the base serv- ant of the devil kept mutter ing. “Drat the shirt, drat the slurt.” Let’s look at the events leading up to this story. After the holdup, the police quizzed Victim Jones. Jones couldn’t identify the yegg. “The wan ton jackdaw who cabbaged my cash wore a mask," said Jones. “The only distinguishing fea ture about him was his shirt, A beauty! The collar was ab solutely free of wrinkles. Oh, he was a neat one!” Meanwhile, the scoundrel, knowing that his wrinkle-free and enviably-neat collar was a dead giveaway, tried desper-_ THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

Colender is the team’s best shot from the floor, and did a tine job on defensive rebounding at Navy. Freedman and Ramey, the Lion playmakers, have shown fair ljump shots.

He stamped on it with hob nail boots. He slugged away at it with a club. But not a wrinkle! So later, as he skulked down Main Street, his shirt was noticed, admiringly, by a detective and he was arrested lickety-split. Good work, copper! By now you will hare guessed that the miscreant wore a Van Heusen Century Shirt. But of course! It’s the only shirt in the world with the soft collar that won't wrinkle ever. It never needs starch, so it’s always comfortable. The Van Heusen Century also lasts up to twice as long as ordinary shirts,yet costs no more. $4.00.
