It is rather for tunate that the Midshipmen rue not to be met so early in the season In asmuch as Coach Herman has been unable to decide upon the Nittany line up and the showing of the team to date has proved that It Is not yet ready for stiff opposition The Naval Acad emy has always placed a good aggre gation on the basketball floor and is reputed to bo up to standard this year PO that the Blue and White five would , be certain of finding a hard task at Annapolis Bucknell will probably be the next opponent of the Penn State quintet and Is scheduled to play In the Armory on Saturday, January twenty-eight.
