Z. Flashing what is undoubtedly the
best college baseball outfit, with the
possible exception Of Holy CROSS,
seen here this season, Hugo Bezdek's
Penn Staters completely outplayed
Georgetown yesterday afternoon at
the Hilltop and won easily to o.
Yesterdays victory gave the Quak-
ers a record of six straight wins on
their Southern trip, they having
won from Navy. v. NJ. l., Washing

Roads. Naval BASE before stopping
the Blue, and Gray. And the deteat
stopped the >Hilltoppers winning
streak at three games won and one

It fell to the lot of Artio Fey
nolds, Coach O'Reiliy's be-spectacled
turler, to take the first beating

4 Bezdek's proteges look like one
Dbf the most finished college base-
ball teams in Eastern collegiate
circles. He has a good stan of hurl-
ers, an eficient infield and one OF
the best outfields in the East: The
men all have plenty Of confidence In
their coach and in each other. An
error to them is just an error. They
are able to come right back and
play their regular style OF baseball
after a miscue and do not 60 up in
the air as do so many college teams
which have played here this year.
The Pennsylvanians started OF in
the first inning, getting two runs
