No. 17 VARSITY CAGEMEN ON EASTERN TRIP Lafayette* Swarthmore and Penn to Be Met—Results to Deter* mine Penn State's Status After having successfully contested tho first four games on Its schodulo for this ooason ,tho Penn State csgo team Is leaving on Thursday of this week for tho hardest trip of the year. Only threo garni* will bo playod, but each wUI bo a decisive test for tho following one. The Penn Stnto team Is by no means a weak team, nor Is tho team so strong that tho following contesta will bo ns tho four previous ones. The teams which are to bo met this week end represent tho best In the circle of eastern collgca and tho outcomo of theso contests will havo much to do with tho placing of Penn Btato In tho ranks of tho leading colleges In basket ball for this ycur On Thursday, La fayette will be mot at Easton; on Fri day tho strong Swarthmoro team will bo playod. tho series will culmlnato Sat urday ovonlng at Philadelphia against tho Unlvorslty of Pennsylvania flvo, which gamo promises to bo tho liardost of tho whole trip Lafayette First Tho first game of tho sorloa, that with Lafayotto on Thursday ovonlng will be a sort of a forerunner of tho typos to tapoct In tho contests to follow. Al though tho basketball season bids fair to equal tho past gridiron season In Us unexpected results between oppos ing collogo teams, yot. In a fair way It might bo expocted that a compari son could bo mado. Lafayotto and Ponn both were victorious over Lehigh, al though Penn won by a’greater scorer and Ponn soon after trounced tho La fayette five by tho decided scoro of SO to 10 Tho Maroon and Whito has not as good a team this 'season as has been tho custom fur that institution to present, and thus tho extent to which the Penn State men aro ablo to down the Lafayotto five will pavo tho way for a surmise on tho succeeding ovon- Ing'u chances Tho Maroon and I White’s lineup will probably bo ,as I follows* Bicber and King, forwards, noose, center, and Babbo and Rcqvcb, guards Swarthmoro Next The following evening tho varsity will encounter tho Swarthmoro aggre gation on Its homo floor. This gamo will in a much greator degree havo, us Its result will indicate, a bearing on tho probable result for tho Penn gamo. In Its recent contest with the Penn .flvo _the. SWarthmuro .aggregation, playod -a wonderful offensive as well as" defen sive gamo, lOßlnu In tho last two min utes of play through two'foul goals and a final flold goal by Gravo. This, Inasmuch as Ponn triumphed by a ncaqt four point .-It Is to bo prosumed that tho contest with Swarthmoro will be oqualty as har l as tho ono with Ponn. The lineup of tho Gamot five will probabty bo. Pino and Yoder, forwards: Stow, contcr, Yarnoll and Larkin,; guards. Penn Is Strong Tho onntern Invasion will culmlnato on Saturduy evening with tho Ponn game Ever sine o Ponn and Ponn State fives havo clashu 1, tho games havo boon Interesting, clos* ly and cleanly fought. On tho Indoor rectangle, how over, Ponn has, for tho putt fow years, boon tho victor nnd this year, tho Bluo and Whito hopes for rovongo Tho Ponn fivo, In Its contest with Yalo last Sat urday ovonlng won Its ninth straight victory of the soasen and took Its placa; In tho lead of tho eastern collogo basket ball circle. Tho outlook for this con test Is not especially bright, in that Penn has beon mooting harder toams than has Penn State and also, In tho only comparatlvo contest, that with W. & J„ tho Red and Blue team won a moro duclslvo victory than dd tho Bluo and White. Yot, as wus tho outlook bo foro tho gridiron contest last fall, so It Is 1 now and. still It Is to bo hoped that circumstances may aid tho Nlt tank eagomon In conouering ovor their long tlmo rivals With such stars as *‘Mlko" Swcnoy, Captain Pock and '■Danny” McNlchol, tho Penn toam presonts a vary formidable front Varsity Is Boady Ponn Stato’s lineup for theso con tests, it is oxpoctod, will bo much tho unxno ns those which havo oponod tho contests stagod horo thus far.
