SATURDAY, DECEMB Lio Mo Penn State c:1 in last Monday's o• i Lions tangle with 11 Egli emphasiz ance to beat the po , of the work. Despite a good s oring per formance by Mark • uMars, the outside men just weren't playing the brand of ball the t Egli ex pected of them. Wall, Colender only had two pain s and his overall play wasn't u• to par. "If the outside me. come up with good solid gams and the big boys play as we I as they did against North Carolina State, we'll• give Wet Virginia plenty of trouble," Egli said. "But if they don't then we'll be in trouble." • The Lions will be in for trouble even if they get good perform ances from everyone because West Virginia is always tough, and on their home court the Mounties are almost unbeatable. They have won 22 straight at home. Last year the Mounties whipped the Lions at Mountaineer Coli seum. 84-50. But when the two squads played later in the season at Rec Hall the score was a little different. That was the affair in which the Lions took the Mounties— who were No. I in the country at the time—right down to the wire before losing. 74-71. The Lion showing that night prompted West Virginia coach Fred Schaus to say that his team shouldn't have won. With that game still clear in mind, this year's team has high hopes of beating the Mounties. So far this year West Virginia has played below par in both of its games, even though it topped Furman and V.M.I. Last year the Mounties beat Turman, 105-67 and V.M.I. 109-50. This year they nipped Furman, 76-67 and beat V.M.I. 82-71. Egli plans to send the same starting lineup into today's game that started at Raleigh. The starting forwards will be Ted Ku bista and Tom Hancock, Bob Ed wards will be at center and Du- Mars and Colender will be out front. Kubista, Hancock and Ed wards handled the bulk of the scoring and rebounding against the Wolfpack in the opener. Kubista had 15 points and 12 rebounds while Hancock had 6 points and 15 rebounds. Ed wards came through with 12 points but only had two re-. bounds. If Colender can hit his stride today and Edwards gets some more rebounds, the - Mountaineers will probably be in for a roughs night.

The football squad placed 12 men on this year's squad because of a tie in the voting for backs.

Two other members of the Cadets' backfield, senior Harry Walters and junior Bob Ander son, joined Captain Dawkins on the Lions' All-Opponent team. Halfbacks Dawkins and Ander son and fullback Walters have been compared to the famed Cadet backfield of Doc Blan chard, Glenn Davis and Arnold Tucker. Anderson has been a unanimous A 11- East selection and has been named to several second team All-American posts. Center Bill Rowe, guard Bob Novogratz, tackle Maurice Hil liard and ehd Bill Carpenter were the Army linemen selected to the team.

The 1958 season hasn't been completely tucked away, but already there's talk of next year. And one of the major controversial subjects at these friendly bull sessions is the restoration of a couple of sophomore quarterback refugees to their old position. Naturally we're talking about Dick Hoak and Don Jonas. Almost everyone knows the tale of the two, who, incidentally share the same housing facilities at Penn State. Both were outstanding high school field generals—Hoak at Jeannette and Jonas at West Scranton—and they shared that slot as members of the Lions' 1957 unbeaten freshman team. But in moving up to the varsity this year, they found the quarterback post well fortified with veterans—Al Jacks, Richie Lu cas and Bob Scrabis. So when the shortage of halfbacks developed at early fall drills, it was only natural to switch the duo from quarter to half. But Jacks and Scrabis depart this year and one of the two rookies will have to be moved back. But which one? Both did such a tremendous job at halfback this fall that any move by the Lion coaching staff will probably be subject to criticism. (So what's new?) Anyhow, with all this in mind we decided to ask quarterback coach Joe Paterno the current situation of the inevitable maneuver. "To be truthful with you," the easy-going mentor said, "we have no idea who we'll switch. Maybe we'll move both of them, but I doubt that. "There are some things that one does better than the other, but I would rather not comment on that. You know, I've never worked with Jones as a quarterback. We moved him to fullback last spring and then to halfback this fall. And as for Hoak, well. I only had him for about five weeks. And he was on the fotirth team then. "Jonas might go out for baseball and if that happens we'd have to switch Hoak. After all, I'll have to work with the boy this spring and Jonas would not be out for spring practice. "But don't get me wrong. I'm not going to stop Donnie from going out for baseball. In fact, I hope he does go out because I know he can help the baseball team. "We have all winter to think about the switch and I'm sure we'll talk at length before we make a final decision." End of interview. Another hot item for discussion is the selection of next year's grid captain. The only experts on this subject are the players them selves and they are hesitant in expressing their views, We think the honor will go to tackle Andy Stynchula. And If co-captains are chosen, add guard Bud Kohlhaas. You'll notice in another article on this page a story concerning Penn State's All-Opponent team. Well, sir, not to be outdone, the Sportseer has come up with his own enemy All-Star unit. Some of our selections don't seem to coincide with those picked by the Lion gridders, but here's the team for what it's worth. Ends—Bill Carpenter, Army, and Dave Baker, Syracuse; Tackles —Duane Mongerson, Nebraska, and Dick Guessman, West Virginia; Guards—Bob Novagratz, Army, and John Guzik, Pitt; Center—Bill Rowe, Army; Quarterback—Dick Longfellow, West Virginia; Other Igacks—Pete Dawkins, Army, Tom Stephens, Syracuse, and Mel Reight, West Virginia. , --' :"T: ,i,.7, - ~,' ~....„ DEER HUNTERS t-- i - ON YOUR MARK! 1 • ~., ~ , , ~-, Chilly December rolls in and / tl r!_ brings with it the excitement of W , .
