THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Baltimore, Egli Spark
Lion Scoring Drive
Penn State's basketball team
won its third game of the season
when the Lion cagers, sparked by
the scoring of Co-captains Herk
Baltimore and John Egli, defeated .
a scrappy Bucknell five in Rec
Hall by a 36-22 - score.
With their scoring star, George
Haines, bottled up, the Bisons
could not penetrate the stubborn
Lawther defense. The visitors had
to be content with scoring eight
field goals. Only one of them was
scored under the basket.
Egli led the scoring for the eve
ning with 13 tallies. Nine of these
came in the first quarter. Seven of
the points came by the way of the
foul line. Herk Baltimore was not
far behind with 12 points.
The Lions will travel to Selins
grove for a return tilt with the
Susquehanna Crusaders tonight for
the Lawthermen's final contest be_
fore the Christmas vacation.
