Gagers Will
By JIM KARL
If you look close enough
lately you can see a little
more sparkle in John Egli's
eye, a little more bounce in
his walk, a little more snap
in his speech.
Why the sudden change, espe
cially in light of the murderous
schedule his Penn State cagers
will face during this soon-to-be
initiated season?
It's just that for the first time
in his eight years of coaching
basketball at State, Egli will get
a chance to play the season lid
lifter in the friendly confines of
Rec Hall.
"I almost can't believe it," Egli
said yesterday. "It's going to be
difficult to adjust to the fact that
we're going to be opening at home
for the first time in my eight
years here."
For six out of those eight years
the Lions opened away against
one of the perennial basketball
powers in the nation, North Caro
lina State.
"You can't imagine what it's
like down there," Egli said,
"with 13,000 fans screaming and
singing Dixie. It scares you.
Anything is better than that."
State will battle Maryland in
Rec Hall Saturday and then host
Lehigh Dec, 5 before swinging
into upstate New York for games
with Syracuse (Dec. 8) and Col
gate (Dec. 9).
Last year the Lions lost to
Maryland 64-47 in the opener at
College Park, then. came hack
strong to score an upset over Pur
due and defeat Lehigh.
But two straight defeats to
Buckeyes Reiect
Rose Bowl Bid
BULLETIN
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio
State University's powerful facul
ty council voted yesterday to re
ject a bid to play in the Rose Bowl
football game at Pasadena New
Year's Day.
The Big Ten champion Buck
eyes were ranked second nation
ally in this week's Associated
Press poll.
The surprise Rose Bowl decision
came in a hastily called meeting
that lasted almost 1 1 / 2 hours. The
council turned thumbs down on
the post-season game by a 28-25
count. Some 57 faculty members
are eligible to vote, but four were
not present at the session.
Specifically, the council which
has final jurisdiction in such mat
ters, voted on whether to approve
the report of the university's ath
letic council to accept a bowl bid.
The athletic body voted 6-4
Monday in favor of participating
in the Pasadena game.
The students at the Wesley
Foundation are planning a
canvass in January of all the
Methodist and Methodist
preference students on cam
pus. About 90 student mem
bers are needed who are
willing to spend one Sunday
afternoon visiting the other
1800 Methodist students on
campus. Persons who would
like to help are asked to call
Suzanne Andrews at UN 3-
7907.

Duke and Wake Forest on a
road trip through the South
land put State under the .500
mark and the Lions could never
really get untracked after that.
Despite impressive late season
victories over Temple and Buck
nell State ended up with an
11-13 record.
With the opposition just as
tough this_ year and the loss of;
Mark DuMars, the greatest play-
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN UNIVERSITY PARK PENNSYLVANIA
maker in Penn State history, the
situation looks about the same.
Egli said .that he will probably
open the season with three letter
men and two sophomores in the
starting lineup. Captain Gene
Harris and veteran Earl Hoffman
wilt start at forward and junior
John Mitchell at one backcourt
position.
The two first-year men, little
Bobby Donato and 6-6 Wayne
Lundy, will round out the line
up at guard and center, respec
tively.
Harris led the team in two de
parttnents last year, scoring tlnd
rebounds. He averaged 15.4 points
per game and hauled down 244 re
bounds.
Mitchell averaged 11.5 points a
game and Hoffman 8.5.
Donato, a 5-9 ball of fire. bears
a striking resemblance to Du-
Mars, but as Egli said. "nobody
will replace DuMars this year.
You just can't replace a boy
like that."
Egli calls Lundv "one of the bet
ter prospects I've seen since I've
been at State. He has both size
and ability and he's a competitor.
He still has some things to learn,
and people shouldn't expect a
whole lot from him at the begin
ning. But he's going to fool some
people, too."

fe ffisan out, of gas?
Must tomorrow's travelers resort to howdahs and
camel litters in order to get about? Not so, say
our Ford Motor Company scientists.

First—aside from the unlikely depletion of our
natural sources of gasoline—the prospects for
higher-efficiency Internal combustion engines
are excellent.
Second, while gasoline still appears the best con
ceivable automotive fuel, our scientists are study
ing the outlook for new energy sources for cars.
Among intriguing possibilities: new energy con
version systems using degraded fuels, or fuels
synthesized from low-cost power produced by
nuclear fusion. Magneto•hydrodynamic gener
ators and solid-state thermoelectric and electro
chemical converters offer other possibilities.
This is all part of a broad quest for fundamental
knowledge, earning Ford its place of leadership
through scientific research and engineering.
