PHILADELPHIA Tho '1965 Eastern

Temple University sponsors the 38th annual
EIGL championship.
The individual qualifying rounds are
scheduled for 1 and 9:30 p.m. today, with the
finals and the presentations of awards slated
to start at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
For many of the 111 athletes represent
ing 11 schools (Penn State, Temple, Pitt,
Syrac u s e, Army, Navy, Massachusetts,
Springfield, Ithaca, Cortland State and
Southern • Connecticut), it will be "wait 'til

For the eight best men in each event
plus the top four all-around performers, the
season will continue at least through March
13 when the EIGL's best clash head on
against the top men of the Southern League
at the University of Virginia.
From that meet, the 'top six men in

John Egli calls it "the
old 2-3" but fans are likely
to see variations galore on
Penn State's favorite zone
defense in the next three
days.
The Nittany Lions, ranked
11th in the nation on team
defense, have been surrend
ering 63.1 points per game
this season. In the next two
contests, however, State will
test its tenacious zone against
what has been a rarity for
Lion opponents this year
the one-man team.
Tomorrow night in Rec
Hall it'll be Rutgers, whose
ace is a 6-1 sophomore hot
shot named Bob Lloyd. He's
averaging 25.1 points per
game, owns a deadly outside
shot and ranks among the 10
best foul shooters in the
country.
But when it comes to the
best, you need look no fur
ther than Monday night when
the Lions travel to Philadel
phia for their first-round
Eastern regional NCAA tour
nament game. State's foe
will be the Ivy League
champion, Bill Bradley—
whoops, Princeton.
At most colleges, the team
carries the coach off the
floor after it wins a big one.
When Princeton downed Cor
nell for the Ivy crown last
week, Tiger coach Bill van
Breda Kolff helped the other
players heft Bradley to' their
shoulders.
Bradley has been named
college basketball's top play
er. each of the last two sea
sons. He's also a Rhodes
Scholar. And when you look
at the Princeton statistics,
it's obvious hoW much Brad
ley means to the team.
The two-time All-America
is averaging 29.5 points per
game. The second-highest
scorer has a 9.2 mark. Brad
ley had 275 rebounds going
into Wednesday night's game.
The No, 2 man had 143.

the season will still be con

his shooters defeat the visitors
tomorrow.
Last week Washburn said that
"the team should finish up 'with
a 7-3 record. I don't think that
we will have any trouble with
Lafayette."

Penn State coach John Egli has named a 12-man
traveling squad for the team's trip to the Palestra.

Princeton will be co-captains Bob Weiss and Ron Avil

Ray Saunders, Hank Weinstein, Rick Sonneborn, Carver
Clinton, Terry Hoover and Ken Kemble . . . State's
entourage will leave campus at 11 a.m. Sunday, work

quarters in the Sheraton Hotel ... The State-Princeton
affair gets under way at 6 p.m. Monday . . . Radio
station WMAJ will air the game starting at 5:50 . . .
State's allotment of 500 tickets was gobbled up in
less than an hour last Saturday. Some students camped
at Rec Hall from 11 p.m. Friday night . . . Princeton
coach Bill von Breda Kolff already has laid claim
to a scouting ticket for State's game with Rutgers in
Rec Hall tomorrow night . . . Reports also have it
that Tiger All-America Bill Bradley and several team
mates will be on hand . . . Monday's game marks only
the third time State and Princeton have faced each
other. Princeton won, 22.19, in 1922 and the Lions
evened the series with a 30.23 win in 1927. Both games
were played at Princeton . . . State has won its last
12 games while the Tigers have a ten-game streak
going . . . Of Princeton's five losses, two have been
by one and two by two points. St. Louis, which accepted
an NIT bid last night, routed the Tigers, 90.71 . . .
Princeton, which uses a man-to-man defense, has al
lowed opponents an average of 66.6 points per game
.. . The Tigers have won the Ivy League championship
three straight years . . . Last year the Tigers beat VMI
in their first-round NCAA game but rater lost to Con
necticut ... In 1963, they lost in overtime to St. Joseph's
in the first round . . . SL Joe's will meet Connecticut
in the finale Monday night.
ing the patron saint of Ivy
League basketball last eve
ning, Tocci had this to say:
"Bradley is a real smart
ballplayer. You can tell he's
constantly thinking. He's al
ways a couple passes ahead
of the play and when he•gets
the ball he knows what to do
with it. He doesn't do any
thing fancy, just accurate and
simple."
Bradley scored "only" 19
points against Penn, but Toc
ci believes it was hardly an
indication of the 6-5 senior's
true ability.
"He's the kind of kid who
gets up for the big games,"
Tocci said. "You could tell
they were a little like our
kids after they had gotten
the hid. They weren't really
excited about the game."
While Bradley has carried
the team all season, it must

Last fall Lafeyette decided to
instill the football squad with
school spirit by having the
players wear leopard-skin cov
ered cleats. The team promptly
went through a 1-8 season, but
made the front page sports news
for their bizarre attire.
It isn't likely that the visitors
will have. anything comparable
up their sleeves on Saturday, but
after what the Lions have been

cancellations, victories in meets

the Lions couldn't take in stride.
Captain Wayne Dunlap, who

for Penn State, summed up the
feeling of his teammates about

in the know, he should be the man to beat.
In addition, Jacobson will be defending
his parallel and high bar titles, and as in the
all-around, his major competition could come
from • his teammates.
ED ISABELLE: This will mark the
third time this season the Nittany junior will
be competing in the all-around. His top per
formance came at Springfield where 'he
scored a 53.95 in the six Olympic events.
Isabelle's best showing could come in
the parallel and high bars, the latter, being
the event in -which .he took a fourth' place
in last year's Easterns.
STEVE COHEN: Coming from Philadel
phia, State's outstanding sophomore will rate
as one of the hometoWn favorites.
Praised by coaches, opponents and
judges all season, Cohen might well come up
with his best performance of the season
and walk off, with the all-around • title. If
he does, he 'could achieve something only

have suddenly started to
blossom forth.
Take Wednesday for instance.
Bradley had 19, Bob Haar

the kind of balance you see

Bradley 29.5, Haarlow 9.2,
Rodenbach 7.7, Hummer • 7.7

One of Piinceton's biggest
assets is its accurate floor
shooting. On Wednesday the
Tigers were 28 for 52 from
the floor, giving them a sea
son's percentage of 47.5. The
Lions are shooting at a 42.5
clip.
Rebounding might well be
the key in the Palestra Mon
day night, according to Tocci.
"I feel we can rebound
against them if we work at
it," he said. "If we stand
around and give them two or
three shots, they'll lick us.
They're real good shots. It'll
be a whale of a game."

Egli has been drilling his
squad this week on various
takeoffs en State's regular
2-3 zone. But if he's plan
ning anything special fo r
Bradley, he's not saying any
thing.
"They predict Bradley will
shoot our zone to pieces."
Egli said. "But that old 2-3
has gotten us this far, so why
change now?"
"This far" just happens to
be a 19-3 record, the first
tournament berth in a dec

lieve is the best team in Penn
State history.
Looking toward tomorrow
night's regular-season finale,
the Lions will' be gunning to
match the all-time State sea

1952 when Elmer Gross'
cagers went 20-6.
The game will also mark
the final home appearance of
four seniors: starters and co
captains Bob Weiss and Ron
Avillion and reserves Terry
Hoover and Dan Cam.
Rutgers, now 12-11, will
finish the season with only
its third .500 or better team
in the last 15 years, and the
big reason for that uncom
mon success is Lloyd.
Just last week Lloyd broke
the all-time school season
scoring . mark and Wednesday
night scored 26 as Rutgers
downed Lehigh, 78-62. His
foul-shooting percentage is
87.2.
Five of Rutgers' 11 Set
backs have come at the hands
of tournament teams. Coach
Bill Foster's club dropped a
two-point decision to Ford
ham, and also lost to Man
hattan, Army, Connecticut
and Princeton. The Bradley
men won a 92-79 verdict.
Rutgers' wins have come
over Lehigh (2), Lafayette

Brown, Columbia, Colgate,

Wrestlers in Good
Shape for Easterns
By ALEX WARD
The schedule says there's one
more match on tap but Penn
State's wrestling team can hard
ly be blamed if it looks beyond
that a little bit.
Rutgers will be in town to take
on the Lions (5-4-1) at 2:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Rec Hall but a
bigger show will be staged seven
days later in Ithaca, N.Y.
That's when the EaSterns take
place and many of the Lions are
obviously anxious to get there.
Two of them, Marty Strayer and
Jay Windfelder will be defend
ing titles and several others
figure to have good shots at I
bringing home an honor . or two.
Although State's record is
barely above the .500 level, the
Lions have the type of squad
that could pull a few surprises
in tournament competition. In
the Easterns it's the team that
has the most men surviving the
eliminations that wins it and
State is definitely equipped with
the individuals.
Besides Strayer at 167 and
Windfelder at 123, sophomore
Jerry Seaman has proved him
self a real contender at 157. Sea
man had rough sailing at the
outset of the season when he wns i
I wrestling at a higher weight!
but Lion coach Bill Koll moved'
him down for the VPI match
and the shift proved him nothing
short of a genius.
Seaman has chalked up his;
five wins with three falls, a 13-3'
decision and an 8-0 shutout. All
have come at 157. A record like
that certainly qualifies him as a
man to watch.
Of course one cannot overlook
Steve Erber, who currently
sports a record of 7-3 accumu
lated at both the 130 and 137
divisions. However, Erber seems
more at home at 130. His only
loss at that weight came last Sat
urday to Mike Johnson, the de
fending Eastern champ. Al
though Johnson won by a fall,'
Koll thinks Erber will make a,
much better showing if he gets
a rematch.
"I think Steve can beat John
, son," said Koll the other day.
"All he needs is another chance."

Walt, a pair that has not seen
much action in recent meets,
could also pull off a surprise or
two.
Olesen, with a mark of 4-1,
has not been able to make weight
in the last few weeks and has
had to sit on the sidelines. But
tomorrow he will start for the
Lions in the 177-pound slot and
although that might seem quite a
burden for a man who is used
to going at 157, Olesen has
proved himself able to compete
against heavier men in practice.
DeWalt, 3-2 on the season, has
suffered from both knee, and
'shoulder injuries this year and
has not performed since the
Army match Tan. 30. However,
up until that time he performed
quite capably, and his. starting

from him for the Easterns.
