The triangular meet, the first of its kind at the University, may turn out to be the most important on the Lion’s schedule The Quakers, who sport a 4-2 slate, and the Middies, who own a 2-2 log, will present very for midable opponents. Penn’s losses were inflicted by Georgetown and Villanova. Navy defeated Mary land and Pittsburgh, and lost to Georgetown and Princeton. Since both teams lost to George town, whom the Lions white washed earlier in the season, it may seem the Lions should be rated odds-on favorites. But both teams lost by close scores to the Hoyas, so the victory may not take on too much importance. Another factor favoring the un derdog is that today’s match will be scored with Medal play. In this type of match the total score of each golfer is added up to form a total team score. Thus, if one player has a bad .day, the team will suffer.
