NITTANY CAGERS MEET PITT TOMORROW NIGHT Carlson’s Panthers Hope To Avenge Earlier Season Defeat—Hermann Expects Hardest Game With nine straight games, to their credit and only four more.tA 9/S the; Penn State basketball to&seret arw look ing forward to tbe return eug*g¥Mti£ v with the University of the Armory court as the biggest home encounter son. The game is scheduled fotv seven thirty o’clock in order to allow ample time for the Lion and' Panther Cuba to fight it out in a preliminary to the var sity tussle. The Xlttany cagers.were victorious over Coach Carlson’s team by a 38 to 31 score in a game two weeks ago at Pittsburgh but that does not indicate the result of tomorrow's encounter. Last year, it will be recalled, Penn State beat Pitt on the latter's floor only to be nosed out by a one point margin in the return engagement. The Nlttany passers are anticipating no easier time of It this year as the Panthers are go ing to invade the Lion’s den in quest of revenge. The Pitt' regulars are all in fine con dition and their coach will most likely keep the five men who start the fray In the game as long as possible. The players who lined up against the Lion at Pittsburgh two weeks ago will In all probability start tomorrow night. This line-up Includes Jordan, captain and star of last year's team, and Harry SONGSTERS WILL PRESENT CONCERT Men’s Glee Club Will Give Thijd ‘ Number of Mid-Winter Concert Series CONTEST SONGS TO BE INCLUDED IN PROGRAM The Men’s Glee Club will present the third concert of the series of mid winter complimentary programs this Sunday, at three-thirty o'clock sharp, in. the Auditorium.
