The Sports Editor
Although Penn State's "spring sports
teams will participate in nine differ
ent engagements this tseek-end, only
one of these, the freshman nine's en
, counter wrth.Cook Academy, is to be
waged on home territory. Which
fact should give large numbers of
local snorts followers a chance to
catch up on outside reading and those
term reports That is, if such "catch
ing up" can be done on the golf
course, tennis courts, and various
other and sundry places

MAY CLINCH SECOND
ASSOCIATION TROPHY
Dave Meade To Hurl
Opening Game on
New York Trip
I=l
Probably when Coach Joe Bedenk
looked over the 10:32 schedule ar
ranged for the Nittany Lion baseball
team before the season got under way
ha red-penciled the pair of games
booked for this week-end as the most
important on the program
And well he might, for a Triangular
association championship lies beyond
today's game with Colgate and to
morrow's with Syracuse, and it re
mains only for the Lion batsmen to
win both games to practically clinch
the trophy for the second straight
year
17 I'layers Make Trip
A double victory for the Nittany
reps esentatives would make it neces
sary for Colgate, next in line, to de
feat both Syracuse and the Lions be
fore the season closes in order to
finish in a tie for first place. It Will
take some pretty fast baseball to hold
back tha Bedenk crew when Colgate
appears here on May 28.
Seventeen men made the trip into
New York State, the squad including
Me-le, Deßonis, Winn, Shely, and
Packs, pitchers, Swan and Dabulewicz,
catchers, Zawacki, Marsh, Walus,
Lohr, Flume and Smith, infielders,
and Captain Hoopes, Kascsak,
Bress
ster and Gaumer, outfielders Man
ager Calvin Runkle and first assist
ant manages Snitger, together with
Coach Bedenk comnleted the party
Present plans call for Dave Meade
to work today's game against Colgate,
and Deßonss to do the hurling against
Syracuse tomorrow. The ramamder
of the lineup will be unchanged with
Swan bahind the plate, Zawacki,
Wahl% Lohr and Smith in the infield
and Captain Hoopes, Brewster and
Kascsak in the outer garden
Colgate Ace To Pitch
Colgate, despite its poor record for
the season thus far, is expected to
furnish the most opposition to the
Lion championship aspirations, for
the Maroon boasts of an outstanding
pitcher is "Red" Laflamme, and a
strong, veteran team that is danger

Cross to four hits just two days pre
viously. The Maroon nine has won
three out of eight encounters thus fat
Syracuse, with only one victory in
seven starts this season, looms less
formidable than Colgate, but the Lion
iepresentatives are taking nothing
for vented and are prepared for just

Orange nine here two weeks ago
To Continue Old Series
The Orange nine ran into the same
difficulties as did the Lions catty this
year when a late spring prevented it
from engaging in sufficient outdoor
practice to get info condition before
the season opened. Coach Lew Cart's
difficulties were increased even more
by the fact that he was forced to

60 Per Cent Fail
In Sports Tests
Given Yearlings
Sixty percent of the freshmen class
failed to pass a comprehensive test
embracing the fundamentals of all the
major sports, according to composite
average grades recently compiled by
the School of Physical Education.
The tests which were given to the
Class of 1935 last fall Included basic
knowledge of athletic sports, which in
the opinion of the coaches and in
structors here, each student entering
college should know.
In order to make the students more
familiar with the various types of
sports the physical education depart
ment instituted a game program this
year, and stressed calisthenics less
strenuously than in for mer years.
Tests similar to those given last fall,
will be taken by the new freshman
class upon entering this September
Sports in which the yearlings Meld
tested included light and heavy ap
portion, boxing, baseball, horseshoes,
fencing, wrestling, soccer, tap and
athletic, wrestling, handball, lacrosse,
volleyball, track and field, basketball,
tumbling, playground baseball, cross-
country, football, golf, tennis, and
progressive gymnastics

McKeesport high school nine Satur
day, the yearling batsmen will meet
an experienced Cook Academy team
on New Beaver field at 1:30 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, ,
A revamped lineup will probably
start the game, which is the only
home athletic contest tomoriov,. The
infield used in the first two encoun
ters is lik±ly to remain intact, with
the exception of the third base posi
tion.
In the two major games of the sea

swamped the Bellefontians,

all of last year's men were lost by

Woolbert To Catch
Father Daily, Mikelonis, or Basset,
will be assigned to duty on the third
sack. Coach Leo Houck intends to
stait Symington at first, Stocker at
second, and Volk at shortstop.
Widney will probably get the first
call at left field, with Callahan ready
to step into the place. The center
field choicn lies between Chornock
and Llewellyn, while either Noll or
Williams will start in the right field
position.
Woolbert, regular catcher in the
first two games, will probably get
the position behind the bat again to

start on the mound, with other plebe
twirlers likely to see action
