Red Raiders Tonight
Cagers Seeking
Important Wins
The difference between a possible winning or losing sea
son hangs in the balance this weekend as the Lion cagers
travel to upstate New York for games with Colgate and
Syracuse.
The Nittanies open the cru
against old-rival Colgate and
llicn travel to Syracuse Saturday
for mi encounter with the Or
angemen.
The Lions played both teams
eat her tills season and came out
on top both times, beating Col
gate, 78-54, and Syracuse, 81-72.
The Niilanies will carry an
8-6 record into the weekend
series. A double win or a split
would practically assure John
Egli's crew of a winning sea
son. But a double loss might
turn things the other way.
After this weekend, the Lions
have four games remaining. Two
are at home—Lehigh Tuesday
night and Carnegie Tech Friday
right. The other two, Pitt next
Saturday and Bucknell March 7,
are away.
The Lions lost to Bucknell at
home earlier this year and will
be in for a tough time on the
Bison’s court. And it is well
known that Pitt is always tough
on its home floor.
The Lions have been rated
favorites for the two home
games. Thus the games this
weekend ere very important.
The two-day trip has always
given the Blue & White trouble
and has been the difference be
tween winning and losing sea
sons in previous years.
Last season the Lions invaded
New York with a 7-8 record but
lost nil chances for a winning
season as they dropped both
games.
The Lions are in better physi
cal shape for tonight’s encounter
than they have been for some
time.
Bob Edwards, who only saw
limited action against Rutgers
last week, is expected to be
back in the starling lineup
against the Red Raiders. He
injured his knee against Navy
10 dayi ago, but the injury has
responded to treatment very
nicely.
Mark DuMars, who had a sore
elbow due to a fall in practice,
was also pronounced fit and
should be able to go at top
speed.
DuMars and Edwards will be
in the Lion starting lineup to
night along with Wally Colender,
Paul Sweetland and Tom Han
cock.

been plagued with inexperience.
Its record so far is 7-10.
Hartman has been going
along with a starting lineup of
sophs Ken Norum and Tom
Jackson, juniors Larry Ludd
and Art Brandon and senior
Charley Hagenah.
Hagenah is the man to watch
on the Colgate squad. The Red
Raider captain is a solid all
around performer and is a top
scorer as evidenced by his 37-
point outburst against Syracuse
last week.
Speaking of the Orangemen,
who host the Lions Saturday,
things haven’t been going well at
ail. They have a record of 9-9
thus far—which is below par for
them.
However, since their loss to the
Lions at Rec Hall two weeks ago,
they have won two of three
games. They lost to Manhattan
but beat Colgate and Connecticut.

Sophomore-Studded
Hosts Lion Matmen
Syracuse will field quite a
different wrestling team
against Penn State tomorrow
than the one which beat the
Lions, 21-8, last winter.
Last year, Coach Joe Scan
dura had a heavily experienced
outfit, featuring seven two
year veterans in the starting
lineup. But the current Orange
matmen are almost as green as
can be what with only one let
terman returning.
Most of Scandura's starting
lineup is made up of sopho
mores—five or six, depending
on who goes at 130-pounds.
But the mainstay of the team
is the sole veteran—junior cap
tain Les Austin.
Austin, who wrestles at 137,
has n<“ver been beaten in his
collegiate dual meet career.
He was 6-0 as a freshman, 8-0
last year, and-7-0-1 thus far
Chamberlain
Slated For
Warriors
PHILADELPHIA ffl— Wilt
(The Stilt) Chamberlain is in the
bag for the Philadelphia Warriors
of the National Basketball Assn,
for next season, it was intimated
yesterday.
Owner Eddie Gottlieb of the
Warriors .laughed out loud at a
report from Minneapolis Wednes
day night that Minneapolis pro
moter Max Winter will head a
| new NBA franchise at the Chi
cago Stadium with Chamberlain
a member of the team.
Pressed to clear the air on the
status of Chamberlain, Gottlieb
.admitted that he had talked with
■ Wilt and with Abe Saperstein,
| owner of the Harlem Globe Trot
ters for whom Chamberlain now
is playing.
j While Gottlieb didn’t actually
say it, his tone and obvious con
fidence indicated that Chamber
lain, Saperstein and the Phila
delphia owner had a meeting of
the minds although no contract
was signed.
The Warriors actually won’t
draft Chamberlain until next
month’s NBA player selection
meeting. It’s a foregone conclu
sion Gottlieb will take the big
fellow as his top choice. Gottlieb
obtained rights to the highly pub
licized former Kansas All-Amer
ica under a high school territorial
rule passed by the NBA some
four years ago.
the Dolphins relay team—Dick
Eppinger. Barry Sulzbacher,
John Johnson, and Gary Patter
son—beat the Knights—Doug
Leighton, Don Davis, Tom Bry
er, Jim McGoff.
In other Intramural Swimming
action, two teams won forfeit vic
tories as McKee 111 beat Nittany
36 and The Guppies won over
Thompson IV.

this season. The only defeat
in his three years of compe
tition was by Lehigh’s erst
while 137-pound Eastern cham
pion Joe Gratto in the semi
finals of last winter’s EIWA
tournament.
Another Lehigh man—Leon
Harbold pinned that other
mar on Austin's record, a 9-9
draw earlier this year,
Scandura feels that Austin
is one of the best lightweight
wrestlers in the nation. “I wish
I had eight guys like him,”
Scandura said recently. “He’s
a real hard worker and is a
good influence and great ex
ample for the' rest of the boys.”
Scandura also feels that Aus
tin could win the EIWA title
this year. “1 think that Les,
Art Baker and Harry Pollock
have the best possibilities of
gaining a crown,” he said.
Davis Injured As

pete against the Lions. But Buck
sprinter Lee Williams filled in
surprisingly, taking two firsts and
a second for 14 points and high
scoring honors, as the Ohioans
thumped Michigan State, 65-40,
[last Saturday.
I Ailing sprinter Dave McEach

also a doubtful
starter, but Wil

that they may
not be sorely

Bob Brown,

George Metzgar,
will draw the
starting assign

Brown won the event at Army
