Defeat Of Season
PENN STATE OUTPLAYS
ORANGE IN SECOND HALF
Unable to oveicomc a three point
lead gained in the first hulf of the
contest, Penn State's lacrossemen
suffered their first defeat of the sea

the Orange twelve, which has contin

Indian sport for the past ten yeais.
The play of the New Yoik aggrega
