FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1966 Pitt Cagers Host Lions Tomorrow By ALEX WARD Collegian Sports Editor With his team sporting a 16-4 record and an invitation to the NIT tournament, you'd think Penn State basketball roach John Egii would he quite pleased with the way things have been going of late. But lie Egli's Lions played uninspned ball at Bucknell Wed nesday night and were fortunate to get out of Lewisburg with a 66-57 win. With his team scheduled to go against an up-and-down Pitt team in Pittsburgh at 2 n.m. tomorrow, Egli been having some uneasy moments. "We didn't play smart basketball at all against Buck nell," he said yesterday. "Our boys just wanted to argue and it almost cost them the game." The Lion coach was talking about the tln•ee technical toids which were called on his team. Jim Reed, Gerry Roseboto and Leon Mickens were •ailed for lechnicals in the first few furious minutes of the second ball against the Bisons. "11l admit the refereeing wasn't real good." said Egli, giving the officials an undeserved compliment, "but we played right itit,) Bucknell's hands by getting all riled up. Their fans were jumping on us and we just lost our heads. That's not the way to play basketball." Situation Similar Tomorrow What worries Egli the most is that the situation tomor row is likely to be very similar to the one Wednesday night. "Pitt will be up for us," said the Lion coach. "And they'll probably have their fans out in full force. We just can't play like we did the other night and expect to win," The Panthers record of 5-16 hardly seems to bear out Egli's comments, but the Lion coach knows what lie's talk ing about. Pitt came into Roc Ilall a month ago with a 4-8 record and gave State the scale of its life. The Panthers em ployed a control type of panne and hung on until the final minutes before losing, 66-62. That game was in Ree Hall where the Lions normally make mincemeat of the toughest foes. Tomorrow's game is in the Pitt Field Ilou:e anti you can bet that the Panthers will lie just as tough, if not tougher. "Pitt lost at Westminster by a big score Wednesday." said Egli, "and I'm afraid that will just make them nastier to us" The Panther , . did indeed lo,c their 16th game to West minster, a team they'd beaten betore, by a horrendous, 102 76 scope but coach Bob Timmons' team is capable of playing much better basketball than that. With a hot-shooting for ward in 6-5 Bob Lovett and a rugged big man in 6-6 Jim T,aValley. Pill can make trouble for anyone. Lovett. the Panthers' top :ncorer with a 14 point average, led all scorers with 21 points when his team faced the Lions earlier and La Valley contributed another 15. Same Strategy Likely Playing in the confines of his own field house tomorrow. Timmons will probably use the same strategy he did in Rec Hall. Pitt doe.n't appear to have the size or speed to run with State and after the first meeting of the two teams the Panther coach said his team played its best and most co hesive game of the season using the cautious style of play. "It was definitely our best game of the year," he said. "We stuck together well as a unit for the entire game. And that's the only time we've done that the whole season." That seems to he the story of this series. Pitt always manages its best effort against the Lions. It'll probably be the s , line old story tomorrow NITTANY NOTES: The Lions hold a 37-49 advantage in the series between the two teams. hich began back in 1906 . . .

To remain in contention for the Eastern crown the Lions must do two things--they must beat their remaining opponents, Pitt and Rutgers, and they must finish first at the EIWA's March 11-12. Pitt, on the other hand, has nothing to lose this weekend. The Panther team now has a 2-6 record and another loss will not eliminate them from any cham pionship. If a won-loss record was all that counted in wrestling, State, with its 5-2 record, should beat the Panthers. Un fortunately this is not the case. Certainly the word upset is always in the mind of a coach with a winning team. Lion coach Bill Koll, being a winning coach, is not taking any team for granted this year. "Pitt is a real good team, "he said. "The team had a little trouble getting started this year, hut they moved all their wrestlers down a weight so now they are tough." Nearly Beat Lehigh Koll may not just be talking to build up Pitt's confidence. Lehigh, a team that beat State 21-12, just barely won over the Panthers. An injury to Pitt's best wrestler and a forfeit was all that kept Pitt from winning. Koll received a scouting report Lion Riflemen NCAA Champions The Penn State rifle team faces its stiffest challenge tomorrow, when the NCAA champion West Virginia Mountain eers visit Rec Hall. Due to a schedule change the match will be a triangular meet, with the third team being Loyola of Baltimore. The Nittany shooters came into the match with a 2-3 mark and will close out the campaign next Saturday when they host the Wildcats of Villanoya. West Virginia comprises one-third of the "big three" of the rifle circuit in the East (the other two squads being Army and Navy) and has not been beaten this year. The Mountaineers own victories over both the service academies, while Penn State lost a squeaker to Army and was thrashed by the Middies. Lions Not Improving Lion captain Gary Dunning, summing up what may be a long afternoon for the State marksmen, said, "West Vir ginia hasn't gotten any worse and we haven't gotten any better." If State can't trip up the champs tomorrow, they can at least come away with a split if they beat the Loyola squad. Penn State coach John Smith described Loyola as "being about even with us." If the Nittanies top Loyola, it will be the marksmen's first home victory. But if Penn State's chances against Loyola look good, ils chances against the Mountaineers are dismal. WVU coach Francis Orchard brings an experienced team into Rec Hall that includes two first team All-Americans, captain Jack Writer and Dean Bahrman. All-American Bahrman Dunning, who has shot against Bahrman in the NCAA title matches, calls him "a real good man." He will get you a 290 (300 tops) on the conventional targets anytime," Dunning added. Last year's Mountaineer team rewrote the West Vir ginia rifle record book. The NCAA champs also sport young ladies on their roster, junior Donna Leggett and sopho more Trish Kinsella, Penn State has never beaten West Virginia, with the Morgantown squad enjoying a fat 10-0 advantage in a series that began in 1952-1953. Last year the Lions made a good showing down in Morgantown before bowing to the Mountaineers, 1442-1418. Tomorrow's match will be the last regular season contest for the Mountaineers before they start tournament play. Lost to Army, Navy Penn State comes into the meeting with triumphs over Cornell and Lehigh and losses to Carnegie Tech, the Middies and the Cadets. A split, coupled with a victory over Villanova the next weekend would give Smith's sharpshooters a re spectable 4-4 record for the season, not bad considering that State has shot against some of the stronger teams around. For tomorrow, the Lions had better believe the words of WVU coach Orchard. "Look out! West Virginia is loaded." 3 University Students In Ping Pong Tourney Three members of the Penn State Table Tennis Club, Mark McCain, Robert Gellner and Paul Zumoff, will repre sent the University tomorrow at the Eastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Table Tennis Championships.

College 238.1381 MUSIC by the 4 JACKS from the Lehigh coach after their nar row victory over Pitt. According to Koll, his advice was not to take Pitt lightly. State is not taking Pitt lightly. They are practicing like they were meeting the top-ranked team in the U.S. Practice has been especially rough for the Lion wrestlers this week and they should be in top shape for this match. For the match Koll will make a change at heavyweight. Larry Kuhns will not be starting this week because of a severe muscle bruise received in the Navy match last week. In his place will be Jim Emanuel, a junior who will be wrestling his first varsity match. The rest of the lineup will remain the same with sophomore Wally Clark (4-2-1) at 123. At 130 sophomore Tom Hostetter will be trying to improve on his (4-2) record. Completing the sophomore trio, Vince Fitz will get the starting posi tion at 137. In talking of the match against Navy, the Lion coach praised Fitz for his good showing against Wayne Hicks. Hicks placed second in the Easterns and nationals last year. Another wrestler who worked well against Navy is Joe Eremus. It was Eremus that started the Lions off with a win.

Another wrestler with a good chance of winning an Eastern cham pionship is 160-pound Jerry Seaman. The Lion junior's record is 7-0. Two more sophomores fill the next two weights. At 167 will be Matt Kline. His season record is now 4-3. Following Kline will be Rich Lor enzo at 177. Lorenzo was the wrestler that put the Lions ahead in last week's match when he pinned his opponent, Greg Marshall. Co-captain Ellery Seitz will be starting at 191. Seitz will enter the match with a 3-2-2 record. Koll contends his wrestlers are ready to redeem themselves for their 20-14 loss to Navy. "If anything we will be more up for this match than the one last week." Koll said. "Our boys will be trying to prove that last week was just an off night." Koll's wrestlers just may need all the extra they can put out. Pitt is not an athletic power in the East this year, so they have nothing to lose except the satisfaction of beating Penn State.
