Even Break On Diamond
Baseball was fifty fifty affair,
Penn winning and losing ten games
during the season. Coach Carris in
his first year produced team that
scintillatcd at times and at other times
was erratic. In most of the games lost
Penn had commanding lead in the
early innings only to lose out when
the opposition rallied and hit the
offerings of the Red and Blue pitchers
at will.
The big game of the year on Alumni
Day with the University Of California
was lost in this manner. For seven
innings Walter Huntzinger pitched
shutout ball. but in the eighth and
