Between the Lions .Penn State basketball fans should get a better chance to evaluate this season's Lion cage team when Coach Elmer Gross' tall team entertains always-dangerous Bucknell in Red Hall tonight. . It's almost amazing that despite the comparative sizes of the two schools, Bucknell always manages to give State athletic teams a rough time. The most recent example was -last spring when the Bison nine knocked the ' Lion baseball team out of a possible NCAA playoff position with a 4-3 win. Last basketball season the Nit tallies downed the Lewisburg quintet twice, but t - Mout trouble. In the Lewisburg, Gros: used a "posses. sive freeze" any the Lions stop. pe d 'Bucknell' famous.. fast break to win 25. 15. Bucknel rooters were SI agitated the; sent letters to till Da i 1 y Collegial asking that son. ____g to outlaw that type of play. .In the return engagement in Bic Hall, Hardy Williams, co-. captain this season, played one of the best games of his col legiate career to spark the Nit tanies to a 67-53 victory. We had the opportunity to watch movies of the, second Bison- State encounter with Coach Gross, and every time Bucknell got a rebound they passed and broke for the other basket. One thing the Bisons lacked was height. Although they still won't be able to match the Lions' tall. team they have additional help from Irish Card 10 G SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 11— (Al 3 )—A ten-game football sched ule will . be played by the Uni versity of Notre 'Dame in 1952.

While it was not a complete surprise, the announcement came as a shock to the nation's fans who long had thrilled to the batting and fielding exploits of the bril liant New York Yankee out fielder. DiMaggio, at a specially ar ranged' news conference in the plush Yankee offices before news reel and television cameras, said he never. would don a baseball uniform again. He said he never had . entertained' managerial or Coaching ambitions and probably would accept a job• with the Yankee organization as a televi sion broadcaster. •It is expected that DiMaggio, Who collected $704,769.71 during 13 years playing with the club, would take the post of TV com mentator of the Yankees' home baseball games. That post, left vacant when Dizzy Dean trans ferred' to St. Louis to broadcast the Browns' games,' reportedly will bring $50,000 a season. DiMaggio, 37 years old last Nov. 25, said a series of injuries and mishaps which hampered him throughout his brilliant ma jor league career, all of it with the Yankees, prompted his deci sion to quit. "I began to think seriously of retiring last spring," he added. "By the end of the season I had made up my mind definitely. It had become a chore - for' me to play. I found it difficult getting out of bed in the morning, espe cially after a night game. I was full of aches and pains."
