SPORTS

With Penn State (5-8-2, 2-2 Big Ten) creating an unusual scoring opportunity off of a corner kick in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Bucknell, a most unlikely recipient of a Chris Germani pass, senior defender David Gray, was there to head the ball into the net.

Penn State players will try to up their rankings this weekend before the spring season arrives.

A Thursday evening just like any other Thursday evening was occurring at Penn State last week. Intoxicated students stomped through the streets while others whiled away hours studying for midterms.

Q:I have noticed that typical American beers tend to be much lighter than European beers. What are the reasons for this disparity?

Favorite Local Hangout
