WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1961 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. Wesley Foundation Battle Taps in Opener * * * GENE HARRIS * * * 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." Wreck Tech lAat heyponz 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. 4 . 4 4 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. .
