Tuesday, Februuu•y 23, 1037 ea Between The Lions »» The failure of the Lion eitgers to stave off, a determined Temple •attack in the last few minutes of Saturday night's-game was a bitter disappoint ment to; the Nittany folloWers.' To lose a game a .highly-touteci team and to lose it in the'eloSing.Minutes of play gives‘: the customers a let down that is hard. to describe. .

This 'year's basketball team will not be in the running for 'conference honors. No one expected it to be. On the other hand, it does not seem like ly that they will occupy the cellar in the lOop"aa they 'did last year. Ev en with a new coach and a neiv syS tem, we have a right to expect the Lions will finish not too far behind the circuit leaders. No letdown fin. the boxing and wrestling teams.
