THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1& 1957 6 Returning Form Cage By VINCE CAROCCI Sports Editor Si x returning lettermen form the nucleus of the 1957- 58 Penn State basketball team, currently in its fourth week of practice on the Recreation Hall hardwoods. Coach John Egli hopesto build another creditable crew around his six returning veterans—senior co-captains Ron Rainey and Steve Baidy and juniors Bob Edwards, Torn Hancock, Ted Kubista and Dick Schwendeman. Of the six. Rainey. Baidy and Edwards were starters while Hancock. Kubista and Schwen deman were front-line reserves. To add fo the brightness of the cage picture, Rainey, Edwards and Baidy were the three lead ing Lion scorers in that order last seasons The only major losses incurred by graduation were that of last last year's captain Bob Leisher and center Bob Ramsay. Finding a suitable replacement for Leish-, er, the team's floor general last• season, seems to be Egli's major; problem at the moment. Last season, Leisher handled , , Is the middle-man duti in Egli's 3-2 sliding zone defe se and the! Lion coach has already used three! men in the position hus far in• search of the replacement. Rainey, Edwards and sopho more Wally Colender. who Egli feels may be the replacement he is looking for once he gets the feel of varsity play, have . worked the spot and, so far, Edwards seems to be top man —although he played it for the first time last night. With Edwards, who is 6-4, out! front, Egli feels that the Lionl defense will be tougher oh the opponents' outside shooting. Han-1 cock, 6-4, and Kubista, 64. wait play back men with Rainey and; Baidy, both 6-1, on the front! sides. Next in lb Le for a varsity berth are three sophomores—Colender, Paul Sweetland and Larry Freed man. Then comes junior Cal Em ery, of Lion baseball fame, and sophomores Mel Ramey and Bob Arner. All played freshman ball, but Emery did not go out for basketball last year. Egli said that, right now his. team has fair height with good experience among the front line candidates but lacks ex perienced bench strength. He said his club was slow in speed but very: aggressive. FOR YOUR WRITING NEEDS WHITINGS When you think of writing, think of Whiting ...
