Varsity Swimmers Down

spark Saturday afternoon as they
downed the frosh swimmers,

meet of the year.
The freshmen gave the veterans
a run for their money in more
than one event, with John Mill

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.
