Nittany Narrator
By Dave Craley, NITTANY CUB Sports Editor
BEHREND'S BASEBALL OPENER at Altoona Campus last Fri
day afternoon was a wasn't. And on Saturday it was snowing at Uni
versity Park so the game scheduled with the State Frosh was also
postponed...after everyone had gotten up at six in the morning con
fident of a Behrend victory. Both games will be made up during the
weekend of May 4 and 5.
The actual baseball opener, then, comes tonight at spacious
Jamestown Municipal Stadium against Jamestown Community Col
lege. The Stadium is the home of the Jamestown Tigers, usually a
second division finisher in the New York-Pennsylvania Class
D. League. Any home run hits tonight will very likely be inside-the
park jobs. With quick outfielders, the park is usually a pitcher's
paradise. Also, the dugouts are two of the worst mudholes this side
of the 1960 Erie Mayoralty race.
Pitching is somewhat of a problem for the Cubs this year. It's
not that we don't have good. pitchers, it's just that we hardly have
any pitchers_ The coach may alleviate the problem, however, by
shifting every position each inning and giving each player a chance
to show his stuff.
I think that I shall never see
A double-header victory
In which one tireless pitcher goes
The route with but one change of hose.
It can't be done this day and age
Unless you have a Satchel Page.
'IIH N: POSITIONS are quite uncertain but here is a tentative
lineup for tonight's game under the lights:
Catching Tom Larson
First Alan McAllister
Second Doug Prozan
Short Stop Joe Haser
Third Mel Ross
Left field Jerry McMahon
Center field Ron Greer
Right field Howard Estock
Pitching John Brown

Baseball games are here to stay.
Fidel Castro, Rogers Hornsby,
Major Houk and J.tli
All support and love the game
The Great Bambino used to play.
Though Ike may scoot to Bradenton
On April ninth to practice putts,
The roar across the USA is:
Who says Jimmy Piersall's nuts!

the outcome was uncertain.
COMMONWEALTH CAMPUS NEWS
ALLENTOWN—the prestige and
influence of the Allentown Stu
dent Government Association is
seemingly at a new low. From
reports in the Allentown Collegian
there is a great deal of apathy on
the parts of the students toward
the governing body; and the SGA,
in committee form as a whole, is
somewhat ineffective.
McK.EESPORT the McKees
port Debaters recently attended
the Joseph O'Brien Debaters Con
gress at Universit'y Park and the
state-wide conference at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh. Radio sta
tion WEDO in McKeesport has
invited the Campus to prepare
twelve programs, beginning in
April, for its "Youth Speaks"
program.
OGONTZ—just as it did during
the initial week of the Winter
Term, the Ogontz Campus rein
stated Frosh Customs during the
opening week of the Spring
Term—but on a voluntary- basis.
The Ogontz Literary Journal, as
compared to Behrend's Icarus,
will be published in the middle of
the present term. During the first
week of the Spring Term, the SGA
sponsored a Jazz Concert in the
Ogontz Rec Hall. The Hall was
transformed into what resembled
a night club and dancing was
permitted during the latter part
of the program.
sing is mandatory. The March 6
issue of the Wyomissing Associate
Collegian has an excellent satire
of a "typical" SGA meeting (PSU
Extension Campus newspapers
may be read simply by asking for
them at the SGA office in Erie
Hall).
YORK—in order to increase the
quality of the York Campus
newspaper without; raising its
budget, a section for classified
ads has been set aside in the
publication and a moderate fee
charged for advertising.
