Eagle, a mid fielder, Reed, an attack man, and Scout, - defense, won all-state freshman honors last year at Penn State centers. Wolfram, 118-pound mighty-mite, plays attack, while Asplundh is at midfield.

The two sophomores have been working smoothly with co-captain Ed Blefield, left hand home. Steve MeiSel, up from the jay-vees, has also looked good in the crease position, while Ed Herring and Jack Cook have been playing on the right side and Dick Bailey, and Don "Watkins have seen action on the left.
