Saturday's bas ketball tilt with Bucknell got un der way last night with an hour long scrimmage between the first and second squads. Starting positions for future games are not a sure thing any more, according to Coach Lawther. Several second team members are pushing the veterans on the varsity for starting assignments. Last night's scrimmage proved the fact that the seconds are out to make the first five. They held their owr. throughout the session. Substitutes Jack Biery, Bob Beck, and Jim Lawther looked especially good.. . • Coach Lawther indicated that he would keep the same starting line up for the Bucknell tilt as started the other two Lion games. Whitey Von • Nieda and Larry Gent will fill the forward posts and Dave Hornstein will be at center and pivot. Guards will be co-captains Herk Baltimore .and 'John Egli. Although Penn State walloped the Bisons in their only encounter lest year, 48 to 32, the Lions will have a much tougher time of it this season. In their only other game this year the Lewisburg five over whelmed Elizabethtown College by a 57 to 24 score. Returning from last year's quin tet that won nine and lost nine are three lettermen. Big gun in the Bisons' attack is George Haines, all-state folaward last year and captain of this year's five. Haines scored 324 points last season for an average of 18 points .per game. This year in their only tilt, Haines tallied 19,,points to lead the team in scoring. The other two returning letter men are forward Joe Culbertson and Bob Keegan, stellar guard. Air.

Ground 'Crew applicants, as meteorologists or engineers in the Air Corps, who sent their papers to Washington, .but who have•not had a confirmation from the gov-. ernment are asked to report to professor Galbraith's office at once, to arrange for enlistment in the Army Enlisted Reserve before Tuesday. Reason for suggesting this was that the confirmations of ground crew appointments might not come before Tuesday.. If a man is rejected from ground crew serv ice it would then be too late to get into a • Reserve. On the other hand, as Galbraith pointed out, if they are accepted for the ground crew reserve they can be transferred. From Major Paul 0. Tucker,. of the Civilian Components branch of personnel division, Third Serv ice Command, came a long distant telephone call to the FAWS office advising Galbraith that a request for inter-service transfers was no before President RooseVelt.
