EXPERIENCED BISON QUINTET TO FACE
LION DRIBBLERS TOMORROW
ON ARMORY COURT
Penn State's basketball team oill
oppose an experienced Bucknell quin
tet at seven o'clock tomorrox night
on the Armory floor
Of the fifteen games played to date
the Bison courtmcn have non eleven
and, lost four. Conch Plant's tossers
have sustained defeats at the hands
of Duquesne, Georgetown and twice
at the hands of .the Temple univer
sity dribblers,
No Outstanding Victories
The Bucknell cagemen hose non
from no outstanding teams this sea
son. Western Maryland, Ursmus,
Ilaverford, Schuylkill, Susquehanna,
Juniata, Muhlenburg, Allegheny and
St. Francis have fallen before the at
tack of the Bison passers. The fact
that the past record of the Orange
and Blue five 'is unimpraosive does
not predict an easy victory for the
Lions, honorer. After the surprise at
Syracuse, the Nittany floormen should
be prepared for stiff opposition in to
morrow night's tilt
With four of their wady tossers
six feet or user, Bucknell's quintet
has the advantage of height over the
Lion dribblers To start the contest,
Captam Archie Seiler will hold down
the center post, 'Woodring and Klost
erman the guaid positions, and Hal
mks and Frable or Bennet at forwards.
Captain Seiler Is Star
Captain Seilei is the star and high
scorer of the Orange and Blue floor
men die has scored 136 points this
year or twenty-five per cent of the
total number accounted for by the
entire team. Bernie Klosterman,
guard, ranks second to the Bison lead

tallies Halick', is the captain-elect
of the 1028,Bucknell football team and
figured prominently in the defeat of
the Penn State gridmen last fall.
