Frosh To Baffle Bison Yearlings Aiming to upset the Bucknel,l yearlings next Thursday after a 25-21 deefat at the bands of the Aberdeen Testing Grounds five Saturday night, Nick Thiel's frosh basketeers are busy trying to per fect plays that were easily wrecked by the soldiers. Leading 12-11 in the first period of the preliminary to the Prince ton-Penn State wrestling match the '45 quintet dropped behind at half-time 20-18, and were held to three points for the remainder of the fray. Made up of former College court stars, the Aberdeen squad clicked well and were efficient in grabbing rebounds from the backboard. More body contact was evident than in any of the freshmen's pre .vious tilts, although only 17 fouls were called. High scorer for the Armymen was Mark Heller, former captain of Syracuse's Orange cagers, who garnered 11 counters, while Jack Pfirnian led the Cubs with ten points, all via field goals. Will Parkhill and Jim Lawther shared runner-up honors with four points apiece. Moe Becker, former Duquesne University stalwart, was the main cog in the Soldier's fast-moving offense which helped them . to their 13th win in as many starts. Joe Hetra, a freshman cage player when he attended Penn State, contributed four points to the Testing Grounds' cause and was at the starting forward post. When the Nittany yearlings take the floor against the Bison fresh men, the battle will mark the sec ond "official" contest for the Cubs. Cornell was the only other regu larly scheduled match. • * SERVICE ECONOMY DEPENDABILITY pErsilm STATE LARIVO 320 W. Beaver Ave. Dial 3261 '..77,1,1"U. 7= T., Z.Z.I.C.SZLX4I4WAIffrwiIiST.
