The Lawthermen would lik e noth_ ing better than to turn the tables on th e Thundering Herd. • Game time for the Bucknell fray tonight—last home contest until the Pitt game February 1 which marks the close of the first semester—is 8 p.m. The Bisons will face a Lawither team fresh from two successive upsets over topflight teams—a -team that knows how to us e an in tricale defense to spoil the oppo nent's game and grab the ball off the backboard for quick offensiv e sallies. It will b e a much more ponfident crew that Coach Law ther floors against the talented cagers from LewiSburg. BEAT BUCENELL It may interest Nittany Lion fans to know that Buie-knell stu dents adopted a "Beat Penn State" slogan to spur• their team on to vidtory in the first encounter. With the cheering favoring the opposite squad tonight, the familiar "Beat Bucknell" byword will probably be very much in e vidence. In the first game against the Bisons, Stat e had a 0-111 halftime lead, only to see it dwindl e as Bucknell found itself in th e sec ond half to push on for the win. DESCI STAND-OUT Lou Desci, the standout of the Bison team, caused a lot of troubl e for the Lawthermen and his heady passing and smiant shooting bear plenty of watching by the Lions. x T.
