THE NEW LOOK IN PENN STATE BASKETBALL
The new look in Penn State basketball makes its debut at 8
tonight at Recreation Hall when Coach John Egli’s 1957-58 team
tests the Colgate Red Raiders. For all of us, this will be our first
look at the cagers in actual competition. What’s in store is anybody’s
guess, but after watching the Lions in practice, here's ours: j
This year’s team, as in the past, will be a slow ball club. When
we say slow, we mean in comparison with Temple’s speed, West
Virginia’s speed or North Carolina State’s speed. Egli is the first
to admit that his team does not have the speed to run. with these
fastbreaking teams—ala Temple, West Virginia, etc.
Realizing this, Egli's team does not play the fast game so
enjoyable to the cage fandom of today. Penn State will most
likely play a deliberate offense, working the ball cautiously off
the pivot to .go for the score. The Lions will fast break when they
get .the opportunity—and several of them do arise during the
course of a game—but they won't be running constantly.
Although this is not the best system to please the fans, Egli
realizes his team’s limitations and plays an offensive game best
suited to his players. He wants to win as many ball games as he
can—and he doesn’t think he can win too many with a “running”
club.
But, don’t get the idea that the Lions are as slow-footed as
turtles. The truth is that they’re far from it. The Lion offense is
designed to score with a succession of rapid passes coming from
set cut-and-weave patterns.
This season, Egli has the scoring potential to quicken his
patterns a bit. Any of his starting five—co-captains Ron Rainey
and Steve Baidy, Bob Edwards, Tom Hancock and Ted Kubista
—are capable of breaking the double figure mark on any given
night.
Rainey, the team’s leading scorer of a year ago, is having his
troubles finding the accuracy range—at least he did in his first'
three games. He has scored only 19 points thus far. But, we defi
nitely feel that “The Rainbow” will break out of the slump in the
near future possibly tonight. He’s too good to be stopped con
stantly.
Edwards and Baidy, particularly Edwards, are two other con
sistent double-figure scorers. Both, even on off-night 3, are capable
of hitting for 10 or more points. They will average 10 or better
in their season’s totals at the end of the year.
Wally Colender and Paul Sweetland, both sophomores, are Egli’s
two front-line reserves. One, or possibly even both, may get the!
opportunity to start tonight. Colender, to us, looks like one of thej
best sophomore prospects we’ve seen in our four years here. Ke;
has what we think i 3 the softest jump shot on the squad—and he’s i
pretty accurate, too.
Sweetland, although not a 3 poised as Colender right now, has
the.ability to do an adequate job for Egli. He still has a lot to
learn, but he’s eager to try. He should be a big help around mid
season.
Set-shot artist Dick Schwendeman is the last of the regular
varsity dressers. Egli will probably change his last two choices
from lime to time.
That’s the basketball roster for this year. It’s the old faces in a.
new look. Don’t be too discouraged by the Lions’ present record
—they’ll improve like wine . . . with- age. To go out on the limb,
we seq a 12-7 season for them—not bad with 12 away games on
the schedule.
