Penn .State's baseball team entrained last night for Villanova
where they will pry open the lid of the away spring sports season
.this afternoon
After the game at Villanova, the diamond team lays over in
Philadelphia Sunday, then leaves on q short jaunt down to Annapolis
to battle the Middies in a single contest Monday afternoon.
Both Squads Tough
According to Lion Coach, Joe Bedenk, both squads will be. plenty
tough for the untried Nittany baseballers. The Villanova team is
nearly an identical edition as the squad they put on the field last
year and will have a distinct edge in experience.
