Engineers Host Mat Win
NittaniesTonight Depends
Above ur btluw 20—that's
where Penn State will find it
self after tonight's basketball
encounter with the Lehigh
Engineers at Bethlehem.
The contest Is the first of twu
4consecutrve games for the Lions.
They travel to Rutgers tomorrow
night for a return engagemer.t
with the Scarlet. The Lions was
loped Rutgers in their first 'nee.-
ing, 77-58. at Recreation Hall.
The Nitta.nies of Coach John
Egli, fresh from a 64-45 loss to
Temple Wednesday night at the
Penn Palestra, carry a 3-3 rec
ord into tonight's contest. All
three of their losses North
Carolina Stale, West Virginia
and Temple—were incurred on
the road.
Tonight's tussle, the - Lions
fifth on the wad in their first
seven games, promises to be an
other in the standard of tough
road games for the catiers. A:-
though Lehigh had a 2-2 record
at last notice—the Engineers mee•
Lafayette Wednesday night but
no word was received here on the
score—it is always considered to
be at its best at home.
In fact, the Engineers upset the
Lions last year in their Bethle
hem contest, 72-G7—the defeat
coming on the heels of the Lions'
victory over NCAA-tournament
bound Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh.
Get the idea?
Plans call for Egli to go with
his usual starting lineup with
possibly one exception. That
exception may find the rapidly
developing sophomore prospect,
Wally Colender. making his
second start of the year in place
of slumping co•captain Ron
Rainey.

"comer" among the sophomore
candidates, has shown steady tm
