From the home angle, fans will get their last look—from the stands, that is—at the individual, scoring race being waged by Rainey and Edwards for Lion honors this year. Rainey, last year's top Nittany marksman, grabbed the lead post l for the first time this season with his 20-point effort against the Mountaineers. He has an even 200 points to his credit. Edwards, who finished a close second last year, lost his season long lead when he hit for 12 against the Mounties. He now totals 194 points. Both players were plagued by slumps this year. Rainey had his in the very- early portion of the season while Edwards' came around midseason. The Bisons and the Lions will have one more meeting this year. Penn State ends its season with a March 5 engagement with the Bisons—this time at Lewisburg. The clubs played on a home and-home basis last year with the Nittanies winning here and bow ing at Lewisburg. In fact, that’s the wav the record went in the 1955-56 season. Both teams are going for a com plete script change ibis year with the first instalment of that “new” script on the line tonight.
