THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Sfickmen To Hold Full Field Scrimmage Today With the gradual improvement in ground conditions, Coach Nick Thiel hopes to put his Lion la crossemen through their first full field scrimmage today—weather permitting. During the past few days the stickmen had to be content with half-field scrimmage, offensive formations, and extra man de fensive plays. The muddy prac tice field hasn’t been treating the boys any too well. About 60 ambitious frosh are trying out now for the freshman lacrosse team. The last few prac- - ■■ tice sessions have been devoted wholly to instruction.

Details of last night’s gam< are as follows: Independent Paced by Fred Ball’s 9 poim the Rocky Ramblers took tl lead during the first half usin; a fast razzle-dazzle playing styl Colonial Hotel retaliated imme diately after the Rambler’s ini tial field goal and edged a slight margin over their opponents. The lead swayed back and forth between both teams, but by half time the Ramblers were ahead 12-11. In the second half the Ram blers forged ahead using a pass ing attack that clicked. Bill Briner, Colonial, broke up sev eral of his opponents’ score making attempts with his fine blocking. With the score at 20- 12 in the last few minutes of the game, Colonial began to sink field goals from all angles. The final whistle cut. their rally short. Vv. Another nip-and-tuck affair of the night was Delta Upsilons .tri umph over Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Using a sliding zone defense worthy of a varsity team, DU led 11-10 by the end of the first half. The second half started off rather slowly, but the DU team work took effect.’ The score jumped to 17-11 before the SAE’s knew what had happened, and then they tried to make a come back. The attempt failed how ever and the DU’s sank a field goal to cinch the game, 21-17.' First Basemen, Catchers Lacked By Nittany Squad A serious shortage of catchers and first basemen faces Coach Joe Bedenk in his attempt to mold the Nittany baseballers in to shape for their game with Penn in Philadelphia, April 11. Captain Eddie Sapp has been shifted from his second base position to fill the gap at the -initial. sack. Sophomore John Egli will be the second string first baseman. Freddy Ball, has taken over Sapp’s duties at sec ond. The catching situation is still indefinite. Jim Sampsel, frosh backstop last year, is vying for the post with Alex Basista, who played in the outfield last sea son. Elbur Purnell and Jim Buckey have also been given a try at the receiving position. Fraternity A WHITE II BEACH the national fashion for day and evening wear. Mix the coat with odd slacks for sports.
