Bulldogs Expected to Be at Full Strength With Geyer and : Perry Ready for Action. © Having chalked up early season victories over Oakland City, Louis-

ville, Pittsburgh and Northwestern, Coach Tony Hinkle’s Butler Bulldogs will be seeking their fifth win tonight when they play host to Boston

The Blue and White has lost only

Aided by the return of George Perry and Bill Geyer, veteran forwards,

the local five expects to be at full® strength for the invading Terriers. The Butler mentor, however, is expected to start the same combina~tion that won over the Wildcats, last week, 30 to 21. It consists of Chester Jaggers and Jerome Steiner, forwards; Bill Merrill, center, and Art Cosgrove and Laural Poland at the guard positions. Geyer and Perry will get the initial call as replacements. Butler's big problem will be in curbing the free-scoring Saul Nechtem, Boston forward, who has collected 49 points in three games to date

The remainder of Coach Mel Collard’s first five is made up of Jack Rotman, Nechtem’s partner at the forward berths; Bob Leahy, center, and Irwin Kopecky and Capt. Russ Lawry, forwards. Boston will be the first team the Bulldogs have encountered this year who do not hold an advantage in height. The Eastern school’s tallest member is Kopecky who stands 6 feet 1:inch. Following tonight’s engagement, the Boston fivé will enjoy a one-day rest and then take on DePauw and Evansville on successive evenings to complete their Midwestern tour. The Terriers lost last night to Western Reserve, 58-44.
