PAGE SIX Orange Cagers Headed By Cincebox, Goldberg Syracuse basketball coach Marc Guley has the proverbial coach’s dream at the up state New York university this season. He has four out of five starters returning from a winning team in 1957-58 and he also has some line sophomore prospects. But Syracuse with All-East center Jon Cincebox in the lineup can’t get started this season. The failuie of the Orange-, men this year with everything 1 seeming to be in their favor is one of the big puzzles of the col-j , lege season. | ; Syracuse stands! •at 7-7 thus far| 1 and currently is! jr i d i n g a two-! game losing >treak.

Eddie Goldberg, 5-7 guard, and Cmcebox will lead the Orange men into Saturday’s tilt. Gold berg is Syracuse's leading scorer while Cmcebox is right behind him in scoiing and leads in re bounding But there the talent ends. These two have been getting al most no help from the rest of the starting lineup, made up of soph Pete Chudy, co-captain Bruce Schmelzer, and Tom Mos sey. Syracuse started out with a bal anced attack helping them to win three In a row over Clarkson, Co lumbia, and Canisius. Then came two losses to Fordham and Cor nell, and the Orangemen have been on the “see-saw” ever since. In their last two games they lost to Boston College and George town. Earlier m the campaign the Nittnny Lions beat Georgetown, 74-50 Syracuse lost to the Hovas, 70-55 Speaking of hot and cold teams, the I.ions are hot again, having won two in a row over Pittsburgh and Temple. The Lions, who have a 6-5 record, have iusl beaun to jell, accordina to Penn State coach John Eoli. "The boys really have looked orel*v qood lately," he said. The Nittanies’ best game came Tuesday when they clobbered Temple at Recreation Hall, 70-36. Two different type rones, both featuring man-to-man chasers out front, helped the Lions win those two games Both 7ones stopned rival stars—Bon Hannon of Pi’tt and Pickles Kennedy of Temple. With Cincebox inside and Gold berg outside it will be interesting to see what kind of defense the Lions will sot up against Syracuse Saturday.

PENNSYLVANIA As a MATT-er-a-FACT ANOTHER GYMNASTICS TITLE FIGHT— It’s Penn State’s turn to win the Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics crown this year and the home fans will get a chance to see their favorites in action in the match that annually decides it. The meet Although there are no official betting odds, Coach Gene Wett stone’s powerhouse is a strong favorite. Not only are the defending champs from Army a weakened team (due to 12 graduation losses) but Wettstone has his strongest team since 1954 (when he easily swept both the Eastern and Na tional titles). All the other factors except one favor the Lions—they have the "stars" and the depth, the meet is in Rec Hall and history (for whatever it's worth) favors them lo win this year. Item number one: the stars and the depth. Wettstone has a strong er team this vear than the one that lost by 50Vi-45'/i to the Ca dets “best gymnastics class ever at the Point.” i Besides star returnees Jay Wer ner, Lee Cunningham and Dave | Dulaney, (he Lions have a per former named Armando Vega who 1 ranks as one of the greatest ath letes in Penn State sports history. ,Vega competed in the 1956 Olym ipies and has won numerous East ern.

Dulaney will continue the de fense of his Eastern tumbling crown with injured Graeme Cowan in support. . Item number two: Penn State usually wins in Rec Hall while 1 the Cadets dominate at the Point. Item number three: Penn State has won the EIGL title eight times, Army nine, (combined they’ve won 11 in the last 12 years). Army's advantage is that they are never weak. They al most ' defeated a similar Lion power two years ago (49V2-46'2) in a Rec Hall meet Vega would like to forget. This is also the last time fans will get to see Werner on the flying rings, Dulaney in tumb ling and Vince Neuhauser and Don Littlewood on the rope—all of whom may be Eastern champions. I’m giving 25 points. It should make a happy birthday celebra tion for a certain sports writer— a week early.
