The score of the game as played was as follows. Boggs had won two match es from Green 10-8 and 6-2 when the rain sot in and the third set-was not played off jyilson lost to Williams 3-6 and 3-6. Guthrie furnished the lead when he defeated Grooms In the two sets played by the scores of 6-4 and 6-3 J£atts was unable to test the skill of P/oifcr for rain interfered and all sets of his match were called off It Is highly improbable that the tie will 'be played off and the score will go down* in the record book of tho season's tennis schedulo as a tie Tho next racquot contest will -bo staged on the Armory courts with the team representing Carnegie Tech will be entertained over the coming week end.

Tho loss will strengthen the team considerably Saturday's game was tied up twice in tho early stages and remained at a 2 to 2 deadlock until the eighth frame when tho Quakers took advantage of a let-down In the Nittany defense and pushed over two counters Penn State attempted a rally In the final inning but it failed to materialize and the contest ended with Penn on the long end of a4to 2 score Thomas pitched a good game for the Blue and White, lssuelng only two passes and yielding five scattered hits, but he could not do everything. Poor fielding by his teammates was largely responsible foi the Quaker scores Larsen appeared on the mound for Penn and hurled fairly welh limiting Bczdek’s men to eight safe clouts Killlnger’s home run swat in the third Inning was a feature of tho game and tied tho score at 2 to 2 The Quakers Take The Lend The Red and Blue nine went right after'the game In tho initial frame and got the first run after McXichol hud reached the first sack on an er ror.
