Ray Radcliffe, obtained from St, Paul, may need more seasoning. Foxx, the cornerstone of the club's attack, will have Bib Williams at sec- ond, Eric McNair at short and Pinky Higgins at third as his infield mates. ¢~— | Basketball Scores | Pennsylvania 28; Princeton 26. ‘ Pitt 27; West Virginia 26.
