As Weather Cancels
3 Lion Baseball Games
J. Solvency Diriglebury, Col
legian weather expert, last . night
said 'that after hours of delibera 7
tion in the Mineral Industries lab
oratory, he would consider being
quoted in saying that the sched-:
uled Pitt-Penn State baseball
game had been cancelled yester
day due to rain.
This proves the third .straight
gathe that the Bedenkmen have
had called, either because of rain
or snow, since last..Saturday,,When
they traveled to Annapolis to 'gay
Navy. It the sun does rfot: shine
by tonight, the tentatiVe contest
with Muhlenberg will likewise 'be
called tomorrow afternoon'.
On Monday, when the Lions
were supposed to - meet: Temple in
the first game on 'home territhity;
over six inches of snow was'. lying
on the New Beaver Field diamond,
and only four players were . play=
ing catch under the East'-.. stands,-
when the contest was slated to: get
under way.
Thus far this season; Joe' Be
denli and his - squad. - have -- played
only one game of a scheduledtfinir
game series and that . .in - the: Villa
nova stadium April. 10; when they
trimmed the Wildcats in a 12-inn
ing pitchers' duel.
Inclement weather conditions
have not only ceased all game tom;-
petition, but outdoor. practice has
been impossible for over eleVen
days. The battery has - been forced
under the football stands and , into
Rec Hall during this time, so the
hurling chores may not be• so
rough when Spring legally ar
rives.
