Once again it was the supei'b pitching of Whitey Kurowski that paved the way for the V-12 vic tory. The Marine ace allowed on ly' thi-ee hits while striking out nine battel's. Leading hitters of the game were Johnny Marutiak and Ku rowski. Both had two hits to their credit. Ban-acks 13 scoi-ed its first runs in the opening frame when Bill Larson and Kurowski crossed the plate on Marutiak’s long single to center field. In the second inning the Ma rines added another marker. Dan Terzi walked and then Bill Cohill singled. Terzi moved to second on Cohill’s hit and came in bn Johnny Schlesiger’s infield out. The Army All-stars tallied their lone run in the third when Ed Vilasi and Len Yasui were issued walks. Bernard Williams followed with a hit to drive across Vilasi. *' The winners put the game on ice in the sixth by recording another run on successive hits by Kurow ski and Marutiak.

The contest will begin at 2 o’clock. \ Coach Bob Higgins stated this week that all students, service* men, and faculty members will be admitted to the game free of charge, The Lion squad has been preparing all week for tomorrow’s en counter Ayith F & M. Coach Higgins believes his proteges have a good chance of winning the cqntest. Little is known about the visitor’s team this season. Last fall F .& M lost only one game on its tough schedule. The defeat came at the hands of Bucknell, 21-13, after the Presidents had beaten the Bisons, 12-6, earlier in the year. Allen' Richards will probably do most of the running against F & M. A 1 Bellas and Floyd Lang, two freshman fullback candidat es, will undoubtedly see action when Richards isn’t in the con test. Both are big and capable of gaining valuable ground through the line. Johnny Chuckran and Elwood Petchel will divide the tailback duties. The two 18-year-old fresh men have been very impressive in scrimmage so far. Now that Bill Abromitis has left for the Naval Academy, Coach Higgins is trying to find someone to fill the right half po sition. Larry Cooney, Ray Kurow ski, and Ed Meyer are the more outstanding candidates for the wingback spot. Earl Bruhn will start at quar terback. The former Midwest gridder. has shown up exception ally well as a blocker. Ed Voll and Dino Taccalozzi may come in as substitutes. Three freshmen—Don Milten berger, Bob Hicks and John Sto ken—and Dan Orlich are the ends. Miltenberger and Orlich are well over the six foot mark. However, the two smaller lads are also in the thick of the fight for the end positions. Ed Bush and Negley Norton will handle the tackle slots. Marino March! has been injured and may not be able to play against F & M. The guards are still open. The fight seems to be among Bill Lar son, Bob Rutkowski, Joe Drazen ovich and John Simon. Bronco Kosanovich has impro ved with each practice and may start at center instead of Chuck Klausing.
