These four young men may very well be the best basketball players in the nation and because of their talents Ohio State, Indiana, Purdde, and Bradley will be in the race for national honors. Lucas, Bellamy. and Dischinger. All-Americans all, capped their sensational 1959 showings by helping the U.S. Olympic team win's' Gold Medal in Rome this summer. Local fans will have the opportunity to watch Dischinger Satur day night in Rec Hail provided they don't follow Penn State tra dition which calls for a mass exodus after the wrestling match. Last year, Dischinger led the Big Ten in scoring and he wound up in a sixth place tie with Lucas in the national race. Both aver aged 26.3 points per -game. The experts feel that Lucas and Ohio State have too much depth for Purdue and Indiana, but Walker and Bradley could knock the Buckeyes from their throne as defending champions. As a sophomore last year, Walker led Bradley to the NIT championship and the Braves were not hurt much by graduation. Besides Walker who averaged 21.7, Chuck Orsborn has two other bona fide All-American candidates in Mack Herndon and Al Saunders. The East will have its share of outstanding teams and stars, too. In New England, Providence with Johnny Egan and Jim Hadnot, will battle Holy Cross and Jack Foley for district honors. Competition will be extremely .keen in the Middle Atlantic States. In the metropolitan area of New York, St. Johns with Tony Jackson and NYU with Ray Paprocky appear to be the strongest teams Upstate, St. Bonaventure has high-scoring Tom Stith back and the Bonnies mean business. In Pennsylvania. Villanova has Jimmy Huggard and Hubie White; St. Josephs has Vince Kempton and Jack Egan; Temple has Bruce Drysdale and Russ Gordon: Penn has plenty of hustle and Bob-Mlkvy. All this adds up to a pleasant season for Philadelphia area fans Moving South, North Carolina, and two Penn State opponents— Duke and Wake Forest—will battle far Atlantic Coast Conference honors. Georgia Tech, Kentucky and Auburn will stage a real fight for the Southeastern conference crown. West Virginia, another Lion opponent, should top VPI in the southern conference race although the Mounties lost coach Freddie Schaus and Jerry West to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, new coach George 'King has a sophomore named Rod Thorn who could crack the All-American ranks. Texas A & M, Arkansas, and Texas will slug it out in the South west with Utah and Utah State putting on a real show for the Sky line crown. Loyola of Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington look strong in the far West. • Going out on a limb we'll pick Ohio State, Bradley, North Caro lina, Villanova and Indiana as the top five with Utah State, Kansas, Kentucky, St. Bonaventure and Providence rounding out the Top Ten. Going out even further, the All-American team should line up something like this: First Team—Terry Dischinger. Purdue; Walt Bellamy, Indiana; Jerry Lucas, Ohio State; Roger . Kaiser, Georgia Tech; and Mark DuMars, Penn State. _ _ Second Team—Chet Walker, Bradley; Tom Stith, St. Bona venture; Tony Jackson, St. Johns; Al Butler, Niagara and John Egan, Providence.

Co-captain Jerry Seekler and Neil Turner will battle Zor the 147-pound spot while Dale Con fer (123), Tony Scordo (130), and Dan Johnston (137). all previous letter winners, add experience in the other classes. Although Confer is the only Lion grappler with any varsity experience at 123. he is being pressed for a starling berth by Denny Slattery, a sophomore from Williamsport. and Ray Nunamaker. junior from West View. Confer, one of the best matmen ever to come out of Bald' Eagle High School, won his letter as a sophomore last year in the 115- pound division. Slattery was a two-time district champ in high school. Nunamaker has lost close pre season tryouts to Confer and Slattery, but he can't be counted out of•the picture yet. Judging from his performances in practice, Slattery may get the nod against Army Saturday, but it's not likely that Speidel will Be!lino Wins Heisman Trophy NEW YORK (11 3 ) Joe Bellino. , the squaLcliopped-stride halfback! who led Navy's march to the!

Milton Brubaker, Bill Hicks, Tom Canty and Neal Newhouse also are candidates at 130. Canty transferred from Auburn last year. At 137 Speidel lost a first-class wrestler through graduation in Guy Guccione, but he may have a new star in Dan Johnston. Johnston won a letter as a junior in 1958-59, but he didn't wrestle last year. Judging by his showings in practice, he seems. to be back in top form.
