However, if the Lions continue the blazing streak they have been burning through collegiate golf circles, and defeat Princeton, whom they play this morning, and the University of Pennsylvania in the match this afternoon, they will 'be undisputed champs without a play-off.

The Nittany golfers face an even harder tas ktoday when they meet both Princeton and Penn. These schols both turn out good golf teams, and will provide plenty of stiff opposition.
