Rutgers Stickmen Slug Lions, 20-7 The sun finally came out from behind the clouds Saturday at Beaver Field, but furnished no inspiration to the Penn State lacrosse team which went down to its second 20-7, defeat in succession. Rutgers spotted the Lions a 1-0 lead after just 22 seconds of play, but shot to a 6-1 lead before the first quarter was over The first-period Lion quickie was tallied by Al Fulton who added three more before the day was over. Fulton now stands just two goals shy of the Penn State individual scoring mark of 21. Bob Andrews was the Scarlet's big gun, collecting three goals and four assists for his efforts. Poor passing and even worse 15allhandline, on the part of the Lions made things easy- for Rut gers. Duane Ekedahl, regular Scarlet goalie, was forced to the sidelines because of sickness. Coach Red Twitchell replaced him with Al Barbero who had never seen action in goal before. With just nine seconds remain ing in the first period, Fulton ATTENTION! R.
