Bucknell Tennis
Meet Rained Out;
May Play Today
After being rained out for the
second time this season the Lion
netmen's match with Bucknell,
scheduled for yesterday after
noon, was again postponed. Al
though only tentative, the local
courtmen will probably try for
the third time to meet the Bisons
by traveling to Lewisburg this
afternoon.
Coach Ted Roethke's squad.will
wind up their erratic season when
they play a tough Muhlenberg
squad on the varsity courts at 2
p. m. tomorrow afternoon.
Although both Bucknell and
Muhlenberg have had successful
seasons, Roethke expects the lat
ter to push the Lions hardest. He
backs this prediction up with the
fact that Muhlenberg recently
topped Lehigh, victor over the
Nittany. courtmen by a 6-3 count.
Probably using the same line
up for both matches, Roethke
will again start Captain Mac
Weinstein in the lead-off spot,
followed by "Ace" Parker, a
sophomore "corner." Along with
Weinstein, Del Hughes at No. 3
will wind up four years of ten
nis for Penn State this weekend.
The rest of the State line-up
includes Chuck Bowman, John
Knode, and Bill Lundelius in the
No. 4,5, and 6 slots and Don Dav
is and Gil Feldman in doubles
play. Charlie Hough, senior, and
Len Bierman may also see action.
