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

Ditillaggio Quits Baseball,
May Become Telecaster
NEW YORK, Dec. 11—(JP)—Joe DiMaggio, 'who ranks beside
Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth as one of the greatest of all ball players,
announced his retirement from baseball today.
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."
