Lion Cagers Test Lehigh
Tonight at Recreation Hall
Penn State's inconsistent basketball team begins its final week of regularly-scheduled
play at 8 tonight when it tests Lehigh's Engineers at Recreation Hall. The Lions are 14-9
on the season.
After the Engineer contest, only Pitt remains. The Lions play Pitt Saturday night at
Rec HalL
Anxious to avenge a mid-season Engineer upset, 72-67,
Coach John Egli will go with his 4 4 4-
recently-formed starting crew.
Ron Rainey and Torn Han
cock will man the forward posts,
nob Edwards will be at center.
and Steve Baidy and either
Captain Bob Leisher or Greg
Schwendeman will play guard.
Egli is expected to name his
second guard shortly before
game time.
Both Baidy and Leisher are
plagued by troublesome scoring
slumps, Leisher's extending from
the first Pittsburgh game. Since
that time, the Lion captain has
broken double figures only twice
—he hit for 12 in the first Engi
neer game and scored 13 against
Penn.
Baidy's slump, on the other
hand, is of a recent nature. He has
not hit twin figures since his 18-
point output against West Vir
ginia, Feb. 16.
Egli admits that both Baidy and
Leisher's inability to find the
scoring range has hurt the cagers
in their last three games.
Of Leisher, he said: "He's go
ing in for shots. but just isn't
making them." He conceded
that Leisher was not one of the
best shots on the team.
Egli said that tough defensive
play may account for Baidy's
slump. "They're (the opposition)
afraid of him and put one of their
best defensive men on him," he
said. "They're playing him real
tight"
Engineer Coach Tony Packeri
is expected to go with the same
starting lineup that he used in the'
first Lion tilt. Dan Nolan and Bob
Roepke are expected to open at
forward, Arnis Balgalvis at cen
ter, and Bill LeClere and Tom
Healy at guard.
Reopke with 2.3 points, Healy
with 19, and Balgalvis with 13,
were the big Lehigh scorers in
the first Lion game. Healy hit for
seven points and Balgalvis for
five in the overtime period.
Of Lehigh, Egli said, "They're
a pretty decent ball club. They
bare a pretty good big man in
Balgalvis. a big, strong kid who
moves well in the pivot."
Lehigh plays a moderate-speed
ballgame, seldom using a fast;
break, Egli said. The Engineersi
will probably use a man-to-man'
defense.
An added highlight on tonight's
game could be the contest for
individual Lion scoring honors
being waged by Ron Rainey and
Bob Edwards. Rainey, the season
long leader, holds a slight edge
over Edwards, 345-313. Edwards,
however, did not break into the
starting lineup until the Christ
mas Tournament at Richmond.
Frosh Cagers
Meet Altoona
The Lion frosh basketball team
may better the .500. mark for the
first time this season when they
encounter the Altoona Center
cagers tonight at Recreation Hall
Wally Colender. the Lion cubs'
top scorer with 85 points in four
tests, leads the Penn State quintet
into the Altoona tilt. Colender has
been the Lions' most valuable
player, providing a strong board
game in addition to his point-pro
ducing ability.
Either Larry Freedman or Mel
Ramey will complete the Lion
starting five. Freedman, a set shot
artist, turned in his best game of
the year against the Bisons.
