Lions Tangle
With Bucknell
In 2 Sports
Vie With Bitons
In Baseball, Golf

Orange and Blue. The Lion links
men have already defeated
Bucknell in a dual meet this sea
son.
Cy Miller will pitch for the
Bedenkmen, who are in quest of
their eleventh win in thirteen
tries. The only loss was inflicted
by Rutgers early in the season,
while a 7-inning tie with Navy is
the only other mar on the record.
Miller has copped five decisions
and lost but one this season. In
his last two outings, he hae giv
en up but seven hits, and has
not allowed a run to score against
him.
29 INNINGS
Lion foes have not scored since
the flfth inning of the Navy tilt—
a stretch of 29 consecutive
frames.
Bucknell enters today’s fray
with 8 wins and 4 losses on its
slate. Six lettermen bolster the
Bucknell roster, a team which
the Nittanies defeated twice last
year.
Clarence Buss will be behind
the plate for the Nittany nine,
with the infield composed of Dick
Wertz, first base; Joe Tocci, sec
ond base; Captain Hal Hackman,
shortstop and Bill Tegtmeyer,

OUTFIELD
Hen Albright, Bill Ondick and
Owen Dougherty will patrol the
outfield for the Lion diamond
men.
Righthander Art Raynor, who
pitched 'against the Statesmen
last year,- but lost because of poor
defensive support, will probably
do the hurling for the Bisons.
