ing, broke West Point’: string of
victories on Saturday ..t West Point,
by the score of 5 to 2. Wardwell
pitched a strong game, allowing but
two hits and no runs up to the

hits gave the Cadets thei- only runs.
Penn State hit harder and fielded
better than the Cadets. Craig
scored in the first inning after two
were out on his two bagger and
Eberlein’s single. In the fourth
Carson, Blythe, McKibben and
Vogt singled in succession, three
runs resulting. Ullon’s error gave

error in the ninth. Hyatt singled to
Blythe, and Whiteside scored them
with a three base hit to center

ney’s wildness proved his undoing
in the seventh, when Holy Cross
scored three runs due to a base on
balls, followed by two singles, an
other pair of passes and the third
single of the inning. Although
Penn State outhit Holy Cross, they
could not bunch their hits 'effective
