FORESTRY BALL NOTHING SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT Music By the Campus Owls Price—sl.oo Per Couple—Tax Included THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Capers Lose Wash-Jeff Wins, 31-30, In Last Minute Spurt The Lion cagers •will have an opportunity to make up for Satur day's heart-breaking 31-30 loss to Wash-Jeff when they battle Buck nell's Bisons at Lewisburg tomor row night. However, the courtmen won't have an easy time breaking into the win column for Malcolm Mus ser, Bucknell coach, will choose his team from 10 veterans who played on the 1939 Bison aggrega tion which squelched State, 44-37. Howie Tidrick, & J captain, was the main reason for the one point Nittany downfall in the sea son opener. Tidrick threw in the first basket of the game after 45 seconds of paly but went scoreless from then until the last minute and a half. With only that last minute and a half to go the Prexies trailed, 28-27, when Tidrick, intercepting a Nittany pass, dribbled half the length of the floor to tally. Scotty Moffatt knocked a rebound in to put State, back in front 30-29. Then, with only 30 seconds to play, Tidrick was awarded two free throws and cooly capitalized on both to earn the deciding points. Until the last five minutes State was ahead during most of the ball game. Wash-Jeff got . off to an early lead, but lost it soon after the start of second quarter. Halftime score was State 17, W&J 15, and at the three-quarter mark it was State 24, W&J 19. Biggest disappointment to most Nittany fans was the play of Cap tain Johnny Barr who was far from top form. Herk Baltimore, Scotty Moffatt and Dick Grimes were the backbone of the team which, except for shooting, looked better than expected. In a preliminary to the varsity game the Jay Vees easily trimmed Lock Haven, 45-19. Bob Batchelor with 10 points, Fran Farris with nine and Herb Currie with nine led the Lion scoring spree.
