Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
■ Old Man Winter simply wouldn’t
let the ‘Lion tennis team sneak in an
early match, so the contest with Buck:
nell, originally scheduled for tomor
row afternoon has been postponed.
This leaves the Lions only one fare on
which‘to feed for the week-end—base
ball.
Both the varsity and the freshman
1 teams are scheduled for home games
tomorrow afternoon. After*seeing the
case with which the Bedenkmen dis
posed of Bucknell-last week, we’re
[ rather inclined to think that Nittany
pans will be treated to another home
victory at the expense of the St. Vin
cent nine. As for the yearlings, to : '
morrow’s game with Bellefonte Acad
emy will be the debut of their season.
Over a hundred candidates responded
to Coach Houck’s first call several
weeks ago. With this amount of ma
terial available and a little more luck
than last year’s freshman club had,
the class of 1936 should have .a team
that will go places on the diamond.
The cream of collegiate trackmen
will have to be shaken up consider
ably if Lion runners are to gain per
• manent possession of the sprint med
ley relay cup at the Penn Relay car
nival in the City of Brotherly Love
today and tomorrow. Penn State,
Ohio State, and N. Y. U., each hold
two legs on the trophy. The Lions
first places were gained back in 1924,
and then again just last year when
that memorable combination of Grit
savage, Dale, Van Kcuren, and Dun
away upset all dope buckets from the
rock-bound coast of Maine to the sun
ny shorts of Florida, or somewhere.
Of that team, only Gritsavage is not
running for the Blue and White this
year. However, his position has been
taken over by Rhodes, the junior who •
pushed'Cadet King in • the 440 all the
way around the track last Saturday;
If the. Lions can come home with the
much-sought,spring medley, cup,, they,
.will have definitely re-established a
place for Penn State near the top of
the collegiate track world.

The “latitude-longitude” '.football
game on Wednesday which
Higgins’ spring practice sessions,
gave the fans thqir first opportunity
to look over the material that will at
tempt to shine up 'Penn State’s tarn
ished football records next fall. On
the whole, things looked pretty en
couraging. Both on the offense and
the defense the two evenly matched
elevens showed a fighting spirit that
bids fair to last until next October.
Of course there were plenty of bumps
and rough edges in evidence, but Bob
will have plenty’of time to smooth
things over before the Lions open
their season against Lebanon Valley
on the sevchth day of October, 1933.

Ur FRED W. WRIGHT '35
Skeletons in the closet! Unburiecl
pasts!
That’s-what the .Lion diamondmen
will be wary of when they seek to
continuo their three-game winning
streak against St. Vincent College on
New Beaver field at 2 o’clock tomor
row afternoon.
Although the Bearcats from La
trobe are an untried team this sea
son, the presence of their record of
eighteen victories out of twenty-one
games the. last two years has put
plenty of respect for the invading
hosts info Captain Regie Smith and
his baseball mates. In 193 L St. Vin
cent had an undefeated season and
last year they lost only three games.
'Still another reason for the Lions’
pessimistic outlook concerns the pres
ences of Andy Sugent, mound main
stay, and Shortstop Jack Dashner in
tho St. Vincent line-up. Sugent, who
is starting his fourth campaign with
the Bearcats,- won nine games and
lost' only three last year, and in his
first season of intercollegiate com
petition, he allowed an average of
four hits per game.
Visitors Have-Veteran Team
Dashner, clean-up hitter, of the in
vading host, has been- shifted from
lead-off position, where he batted .413
in twelve games last year. When one
considers that a lead-off man is gen
erally handicapped by having to wait
out the opposing pitcher, any batter
who reaches the .300 class could be
considered a threat to any pitcher’s
dreams of a peaceful afternoon, let
alone .413.
Successful in. their last three starts,
the Bedenk-men will take the field
with the identical line-up that romped
through Bucknell last Saturday, with
the exception of the battery. Coach
Joe Bedenk may rest big Keith Parks
after , three straight mound victories
and start either A 1 Deßonis or Johnny
Lutcher, while Catcher Paul -Swan
may miss his first game in many a
moon, because of an injured thumb
.suffered in action last week.
BUCKNELL MATCH POSTPONED
The match between the Lion nelmen
and. Bucknell, originally scheduled for
tomorrow*; has been postponed until
May 16. Fear of wet courts resulted
in the mutual agreement between the
Bisonsand the Nittany teams. Next
Saturday afternoon, the Lions will
open their season against Temple
here.

Nittany Linksmen Will Try for
Third Victory in Panther
Match Tomorrow
By KENNETH C. HOFFMAN *33
Armed with' confidence gained
ther successful tests under
fire against the Swarthmore and Penn
golfers last week-end, the Lion links
men will seek their third straight vic
tory when they tee-off with the Uni-:
versity- of Pittsburgh team at the
Smoky City tomorrow afternoon.
'Apparently satisfied with the re
sults of his original selection of the
team, Coach Bob Rutherford has an
nounced his intention of using the
same line-up in tomorrow’s meet. Al
though chosen for the team,' all of the
regulars have had to defend their
positions against the challenges of
other varsity contenders in the prac
tice rounds this week.
Having attained unexpected form in
their.first intercollegiate matches, the
Nittany golfers will have an oppor
tunity to score a second links victory
over the Panthers in two years. Last
season .Captain Freddie Brand and his
mates downed the Pitt team G-to-0
in the season's opener here.
Beyer To Lead Off
While the strength of the Pitts
burgh golfers.is unknown, Coach Ru
therford is basing his 'hopes for vic
tory on the performances recorded
last week-end. Lloyd Beyer, who has
repeatedly turned in low cards both
in varsity meets and practice rounds,
will again lead off for the Lions.
Having displayed his steady and
calculating ability in the pinches in
both the Swarthmore and Penn
matches, Tom Marshall will again oc
cupy number two position. He will
pair off with BJeyer as the first four
some of .the P?nn State team in to
morrow’s meet,( '
Dick Ritenour, who gave a brilliant
exhibition iiv the ‘Garnet match Fri
day, will follow.in third position, com
bining forces with Rog Hetzel in the
second foursome competition. Het
zel, who completes 'the Lion quartet,
has shown the most promise of all the
tontenders by Kta steady improvement
since the beginning of the season.
The team, accompanied by Coach
Rutherford, wiU leave - for Pittsburgh
this afternoon,.and will play the match
on the Soutli Hills' Country club

Possession of Relay Cup
Rhodes, Dale, Van Keuren, Dunaway To Defend
Sprint Medley Championship at
Annual Penn Carnival
Although most individuals are sat
isfied with two legs, the Nittany
trackmen who are journeying to the
Penn Relays at Philadelphia this
week-end hope to acquire the
and final, leg on the sprint medley re
lay cup. As defending champions of
last year, and boasting a first, place
in the relay in 1924, the Lions are ex
pected to make a strong bid foi* per
manent possession of the trophy.
As a result of the trials'Tuesday
night, Coach Cartmcll selected Rhodes
to run the 440, Dale and Van .Keuren
for the 220-yard sprints, and Captain
Dunaway to run the anchor half-mile
in the medley event. Dale won the
220-yard elimination dash in twenty
pue and four-fifths seconds to win his
place.
.Aiders To Leave Today
The two-mile relay team will be
composed of Hughes, Seisky, Duna
way, and Charley King, who beat
Harvey in an elimination race Wed
nesday afternoon to capture fourth
place on the squad. Contending with
a stiff breeze, King negotiated the
course in two minutes and five sec
onds to clinch his position. The team
of two-milers will- leave this after
noon.
Dale, Aldrich, Van Keuren, and
Rhodes will compose the half-mile
team at the Relays Saturday after
noon. Van Keuren, Dale, and Rhodes
are also running on the two-mile
team. Both races will be held Satur
day, but the squad hopes to place
against strong opposition.
Sigels Will Compete
In the field events, Penn State will
be represented by the Sigels, Bob and
Dick. Bob Sigel,. by virtue of his
showing last Saturday when he hurled
the spear 188 feet to place first in the
Army meet, is expected to place in the
javelin contest, while Dick Sigel has
been improving steadily in the discus
throw.

HOBART TEN TODAY
Lion Lacrosse Team Will Meet
Syracuse Tomorrow in
Second Contest
By JOHN A. BRUTZMAN ’.r
This afternoon, the Lion lacrosse
team will attempt a comeback against
the Hobart ten at Geneva in the first
Same of a two-day trip. With the
roush edges revealed in the Army
game smoothed off, the Nittany stick
men are looking forward to chalking
up their first mark in the win column.
Although lacrosse is the most popu
lar sport at Hobart, the team seems
to he weak this year, losing its first
two games this season to Syracuse
and Cornell. With the weaknesses of
the Lion attack corrected, Coach Mike
Loebs expects lo tuck the Hobart
scalp safely away in his Blue and
White traveling bag.
’Moulthrop Disabled
Sixteen men made the trip yester
day. Included on the squad were Cap
tain Edel, Jim Reed, Moorhouse, Day,
Weber, Hesch, Kane, and Coskery.
Kline, Barnes, Rathmell, Koth, Bos
nian, Kaulfuss, Hassan, and Maley
completed the squad.
The only varsity player not making
the trip was Moulthrop, who suffered
an injured shoulder in the Army
game. Kline, Barnes, or possibly
Hesch moves up to center, Weber, a
sophomore, will fill Marty’s position
at point.
To Meet Syracuse
Immediately after the game this af
ternoon, the Lions will leave for Sy
racuse, where they engage the Or
ange ten tomorrow afternoon. The
Ilillmen have yet to taste defeat this
season, having defeated Hobart and
Colgate on successive Saturdays,
With the same line-up thal faced
the Cadets last Saturday, the Lions
will start the game with Jim Reed at
goal, Day and Moorhouse at points,
and Kane and either Hesch or Webtir
at the defense posts, depending on
whether Kline, Barnes, or Hesch get
the call at center.
Captain Jake Edel will hold his old
job at second attack, with Koth at
first attack. Bosnian and Kaulfuss
are expected to start at the homo
positions. Undoubtedly, the whole
squad will see action some time dur
ing the weekend.
