State Faces Bucknell Tonight
Lion Cage Lineup
By SANDY PADWE
Look for a mass shakeup in
Penn State’s ■ starting lineup
tonight in Rec Hall where the
slumping Lions face Bucknell
at 8.
Lion coach John Egli said last
night that he plans to bench
Gene Harris, John Mitchell, and
Earl Hoffman in favor of John
Phillips, Don Wilson and a 6-8
newcomer, Bob Hutchinson,
“I’m going to give those boys
a chance,” Egli said, “maybe it’ll
fire the others up.”
Egli reserved the right to
back out et the last minute but
he said his decision would prob
ably slick.
Egli’s Lions (7-7) have dropped
three of their last four games
mainly due to poor foul shooting
and some sloppy ball handling.
Their last loss was to Navy,
58-56. at Annapolis, Md., Satur
day. In that one, the Lions missed
10 of 23 foul shots and threw the
ball away on numerous occasions.
Tonight, the Nittanies will be
facing the team which started
their decline.
. The Bisons, 9-6 for the cam
paign, beat the Lions 71-67 in
Lewisburg, Pa., last month
with a dramatic late game come- I

he is a definite threat when his
jump shot is "on."
Hutchinson is a third semester
student. He played with the
freshmen for a while last year
before dropping out of school for
the second semester.
He has improved quite a bit
since then but Egli is the first to
admit “that he has a long way
to go.”
