It brought an end to a hard fought tilt Lefty Page and Murphy were again the pitching selections of the rival coaches and both displayed an even better brand of curving thnn in their first meeting. The Nittany left hander, although touched for el even safeties, managed to keep the bmgles were scattered and hurled re markable ball. Murphy. held the Lions to seven hits and was given air-tight support by his teammates who did not make a fielding blunder.
