Hal Danzig, Buc nell, and Alan Franks, Carnegie Tech, were the
substitutes.
Voting was not restricted to a position basis—the cagers picked
the five toughest men they faced during the season. That accounts
for Cohen being listed as a forward.
• As you might expect, Hundley and Rodgers were unanimous
choices with Cohen being selected on all but one ballot—Tom Han
cock named West Virginia's Lloyd Sharrar and Lafayette's Bob
Mantz instead of Cohen and Richter.
The closest race was for the fifth position with Hennon and
Danzig each receiving four starting votes. Hennon, however, was
named as a substitute on two ballots to ga.in the nod.
INDIVIDUAL SCORING:
Junior Ron Rainey, the season-long leader, won the team scor
ing title with 376 points-33 more than last year's winner, Earl Fields.
Rainey had 138 field goals and 101 fouls-33 of those coming con
secutively—for a 15.0 average.
Sophomore Bob • Edwards was second with 354 points on 124
field goals and 106 fouls—good for a 14.2 average. Edwards, who
joined the starting unit during the Christmas Invitation Tournament
at Richmond, led the team scoring in 11 games. Rainey topped the
squad only six times, but was the more consistent scorer of the two.
Junior Steve .Baidy scored 273 points-97 baskets and 79
fouls—to become the third Lion to average 10 or more points with
-a 10.2 mark.
Note of consolation to the disheartened: All three will be back
for another year of eligibility next season. They, plus sophomores
Tom Hancock, Greg Schwendeman and TedlCubista, should give the
Lions one of the best teams in the East.
EGLI COMMENTS: -
"I was more than satisfied with the team's performance this
year," Egli said. "I really didn't think we'd do more than break even
at the beginning of the year"-
However, he said that after looking at the season in composite,
he feels that the Lions could have won two or three more games
than they did. Careless mistakes, such as loose ball-handling, were
the turning points in several Lion lasses—losses that could have
been wins. - -
But, Egli realizes that mistakes are a natural part of the game.
His team was comparatively green and mistakes were to be ex
pected. The Lion mentor deserves credit for a job well-done, he
brought the team a long way. He has seven veterans to turn to
next year. It should bi a dandy, both for the team and the like
able Egli.
CAGE SHORT:
The Lions can have the consolation of knowing they beat two
teams entered in the post-season tourneys—Temple and Pitt. Temple
yesterday accepted its bid to the NIT while Pitt. as was expected,
went to the NCAA's.

Irvin Hall Wins in IM Cage
A 32-31 victory by the Irvin Hall cagers highlighted Monday night's intramural basketball action.
A Campus-to-Career Case History
"The future looks unlimited"
"I wanted a career that offered
variety, opportunity and a chance to
work with people," says Lewis William
Post, C.E., Michigan State, 1950.
"That's why I went to work for the
telephone company.
"My initial training—two full years
of it—probed every phase of company
operations and acquainted me with all
of the jobs in the Plant Department,
where I was starting.
"Today, as Plant Engineer, I'm re
sponsible for preventive maintenance
of all field equipment, installation of
new facilities for wire and cable, and
I work with architects and builders
on telephone needs in new buildings.

Company. Many interesting career opportuni.
ties exist in other Bell Telephone Companies,

sell ideas—like the wisdom of plan

making contributions both as a civil
