This is the second successive season that the fleet-footed glove man has broken his right ankle, for he al_ missed much of last year with the same injury. Second Lion Injury • - "Henny" became the second Nittany regular to injure his an kle this year. In the first game of the year against Western Mary land, Chris Tonnery fractured his right ankle in two - places, and is still wearing a cast. Albright broke his ankle while sliding into third base in the sec ond inning. With one out, Clar ence Buss on third, and Albright on second, Harry 'Little hit a fly to center. The Panthers' center fielder, Bobby Lewis, fired the ball to third, and Albright -raced to beat the throw. Disputes Decisipn The Harrisburg ballplayer can't understand why he was ruled out on the unfortunate play since he is positive he reached third. He broke his ankle just as he was starting to silde. Somehow, the ankle caught behind him, and he heard a crack. Shock, more than the pain forced him to pass out momentarily. Albright, a senior in chemical engineering with a 2.56 All-Col lege average, was planning to get married June 23. But he is somewhat 'doubtful of that date now that he will have a cast on his leg. Besides his doubts concerning his weddhig, the good-natured outfielder seemed to take his in jury in stride. Smooth Fielder Albright has always been a smooth fielding outfielder, and his speed made him an ideal lead off batter. Including Saturday's game the left-handed batsman was hitting at a .323 clip, and had scored eight runs in ten games. Besides his high batting aver age, Albright had also received 12 walks, which, combined with his 11 hits, meant that he had been on base 23 times in 46, trips to the plate for a 50 per cent get ting-on-base average.

Finding the early pace too slow Freebairn stepped into the lead after the 63 second first quarter and was never headed by . Kuzma even though the 3 / 4 time of 3:13 just suited Kuzma's strong kick. Bill Ashenfelter, sick from the air flight or a mild form of dysen tery, was not up to it and finished fourth.
