WEDNESDAY. APRIL 19, 1961 Grandstand Views 1 ( 11 A, Change A - 1 1" Ir ttirj Of Heart? ; • The Rec Hall rulers must be having a change of heart. First they get a full-time assistant for John Egli and now it appears that they're actually going to give his basketball team a chance to hit the .500 mark next year. The schedule-makers released Egli's 1961-62 winter date book yesterday and it lists 20 games-10 at home, 10 away plus three on a "neutral court': For the sake of quibbling we'll revise the schedule and call it 10 home and 13 away because the Penn Palestra, where the Lions will play in a Christmas tournament, is the home floor for Villanova and Penn, two other tourney entrants. Actually, the Lions may play only 22 games, depending on the outcome of their first two tourna ment tilts. If they lose the first two games they'll be out, but if they win one or more they con tinue At this point, Egli isn't worry ing about how many games he'll be playing. He's just overjoyed that his Lions won't have to struggle through another sched ule like the 1960-61 outrage. If you have a short memory, the Lions spent most of the win ter on the road playing 16 away games. They were at home eight times and consequently wound up with an 11-13 record. No one can figure the sudden benevolence toward the hoop sport on Mt. Nittany but it's here and rumors say there may be some other surprises on the way. Maybe so, but in the meantime Egli's new assistant, Snowy Simpson, and the improved schedule will serve as a starter toward making Penn State basketball respectable again. Don't be fooled, though, there's a long way to go. The highpoint of the new schedule will be a meeting with NCAA runner-up Ohio State at Columbus Dec. 23. The Lions prob ably will come back with a fat guarantee and some future football contracts but that's about all. In addition to Ohio State, the Nittanies will face such national powers as Duke, Temple, Army, and West Virginia. They could meet up with some real tough competition in the ECAC Quaker City tournament too, This tournament is the counterpart of the ECAC Holiday Festival in Madison Square Garden and between the two, the ECAC has a near monopoly on some of the nation's top teams. Appearing with the Lions from Dec. 26-30 will be Penn, Villa nova, Niagara, lowa, Holy Cross, Duquesne and Wyoming. That's quite a field. Penn loses only Bob Mikity this year and the Quakers should be the top contender for the Ivy League title. Niagara and Holy Cross, a pair of NIT entrants, have their big guns back while Villanova will have Hubie White and a brand new coach—Jack Kraft. lowa, along with Purdue, should give Ohio State a real battle for the Big Ten crown next year even though the Bucks still have Jerry Lucas. The Lions wilt open their home season and the campaign Dec. 2 against Maryland. The other home opponents are: Lehigh, West Virginia, Syracuse, Bucknell, Navy, Colgate, Gettysburg, Army and Pitt. On the road State will face: Duke, Colgate, Syracuse, Ohio State, Pitt, Carnegie Tech, Bucknell, West Virginia, Temple and Rutgers. The lieheritde: Dee. 2.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA By Sandy Padwo Collegian. Sports Editor SOHN EGLI Brown Rips Londoner In sth Round LONDON (RP)—Lightweight Champion Joe Brown of Baton Rouge, La., cut Dave Charn ley's nose in the fifth round and hammered out a decision over the blood-smeared Briton yesterday. It was Brown's second straight title victory over the 25-year-old Londoner and his tenth defense of the 135-division crown. The 35-year-old American stopped Charnley on a cut over the right eye in six rounds at Houston, Texas, 16 months ago. There were no knockdowns al though both fell to the canvas aft er a collision in the first round. The long-armed American re peatedly sinas h e d Charnley's gashed nose with fast rights and snapping left jabs. By the 12th round Charnley was br u is e d about the eyes, streaming blood from the nose cut and trying des perately for a long shot knock out. But Brown calmly pecked away with both hands and piled up points. A sellout crowd of 18.000 in Earls Court Stadium paid about $112.000 for London's first title bout since light heavyweight champion Archie Moore knock ed out Yolande Pompey in the tenth round. Brown earned about $50,000 and Charnley about $28,000. Brown weighed 133 1 / 4 pounds, ICharnley 134 1 / 2 . It was the first defeat for Charn ley. British and European light weight champion, since he was stopped by Brown. He had won five straight. His record is 37-7-1. Brown's victory made his rec ord 133-18-10. Until Brown sur passed it, the great Benny Leon ard held the record for light weight title defenses, eight.

It may be a little too early to tell, but the Lion captain hasn't come through as well as expected so far. We're counting on Zeke for our power," Bedenk said before the season started. "He'll be our cleanup hitter and we hope he'll drive in some runs for us." DeLong was the Lions' regular right fielder in his sophomore year, batting .368 as State fin ished fourth in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Big things were expected of the Lions and DeLong last year, but the Nittanies staggered to a 9-9 record and DeLong slipped to .222. The soft-spoken senior is one for nine so far this year, a single in the Lions' opener with Gettysburg. The Nittanv coachinq, staff can't figure out what's the matter with DeLong, and Zeke isn't sure him self. "I haven't changed my swing," DeLong said, "I'm just not hitting the ball.
