"The boys with the most uniform on are not neces sarily the'best," he says. "They just got there first. What we need around here is a couple of more bats. The other one we had split. We also need a backstop." Some of the men are giving each other tough competition for positions. Behind the bat, Klipstein, Slover, and Yeagaman are showing the others how to handle the pitches of Ford, Lenz, Schmidt, Simoneelli, and Wirt, the leading pitchers. At first, Ang stadt, Edwards, Katz, Meyers, Testi, and Watts are competing to hold down the base. Second Basemen Jacobs, Keller, Robins, and Steckle; shortstops Brownstein, Myhoff, and Silver; and third basemen Peterson, Roger, Tin dal, and Werner complete a promis ing infield.

Grubb, and Ray mond A. Slattern, drums. The next public appearance of the Band . will be at a concert given in honor of the 'mothers on Mothers' Day in May. _ am Will Open Season With Bucknell Tomorrow Uncertain Pitching Staff Dependent on Consistent Fielding of Lion Veterans Because of the severe and unexpected snowfall yesterday morning, it is probable that the l'enn State-Bucknell baseball game scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. will have to be cancelled or postponed. Neil M. Fleming, graduate manager of athletics, said yesterday that no definite action on cancelling the game will be taken until this afternoon when the condition of the field can be determined. By BILL McDOWELL They used to talk in professional baseball circles of how the late and eccentric Rube Waddell would call in his infield and outfield in the midst of a heated encounter and retire the opposing side unaided. Whether or not this was merely a tale devised to entertain stunted adult minds, it would be Perfectly swell if the Penn State baseball team could reverse the situation and dispose of Bucknell tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock on Beaver field without the services of a pitcher. The reason for this is that this most important spot in the line-up is the one which is most uncertain at this writing. Tomorrow ' s game also will be the opening one of the season for Ducknell, but they will have the serv ices of Reznichack who has had plenty of varsity experience even if he did drop the 6-2 tilt which State won in Lewisburg last May. Coach Joe Bedenk, on the other hand, has only one tosser with any varsity experience at all; namely, Ernie Stokes. And Stokes has pitched only one and one-third games of var sity ball. He was responsible for the 6-0 victory over Dickinson last year, but didn't get a hit out of three times at bat, if you happen to be sta tistically inclined. 4 Veterans'Back You can expect to see some pretty consistent fielding this year with four veterans back and the other positions well taken care of. Captain Bill Mc- Keehnie will be on first, Robbins on second, Stocker on third, O'Hora at shortstop, Bielicki in right field, Mill.. er in center field, and possibly Wit mer in left field. • Bedeck has been trying Ochrock in left field .instead of behind the plate with the purpose of getting a hitter in the vacancy left by Bill Kascsak, who captained last year's nine. In direct contradiction to what has been bruited about generally, Frank Smith will not start in the box. The starting pitcher will probably be a left hander, although Connie Mack's tenet that "you never can tell in base ball," holds true in this case. • The Southpaws Ernie Stokes is a likely candidate for the assignment, but so is Lefty Knapp. 'Knapp has a better curve and as good control as any candidate for pitcher at the present time. But don't think for a minute that Frank Smith is playing the role of the forgotten man. He and Kor nick, both sophomores, have been working out as a battery twosome. Both won letters in football and bas ketball this year and did not come out for baseball until after basket ball season. Consequently, Smith was several weeks behind the rest of the pitchers who had been rehearsing their act in the corridors of the gym until the weather permitted them to go outside the middle of last month. Smith has plenty of speed and is daily gaining in smoothness and con trot•. He can also hit creditably and should be functioning to perfection soon. Hold the Lifeboats If you happened to be up on the baseball field to watch the team in practice games the week before last or last week you were no doubt amaz ed at the facility with which the pitchers in their three-inning work outs seemed to be fanning the alleged heavy hitters. This is really nothing to become alarmed over when you re call that the pitchers have .had the advantage of a month of practice over the batters and the latter are always slower getting in stride in any man's league. • Last May, when State played Buck nell, Stocker was the leading hitter with .389, Biclicki was second with .327, and Miller rated third with .326. Robbins and Kornick have been hit ting well among the newcomers. Cap tain Bill McKechnie has been hitting well also and probably will bat in second position after Stocker. Baseball Coach Plans College World Series Andy Coakley, veteran baseball coach at Columbia University, last week announced plans for a college baseball world series featuring eight outstanding American teams and pos sibly a representative from Japan, which may be held in one of New York's major league parks this sum mer. He has written to the supervisors of several• sectional intercollegiate athletic conferences regarding the plan and responses have been enthusi astic. No official communication has reached the College yet, but it is un derstood that Penn State will be in cluded in the series if plans which are now in the formulative state pro gress. The games would be held either in the Yankee Stadium or. the Polo Grounds—possibly in both—the week of June 24. By this time all colleges will be closed and there will be no in terference. with pinYers' classwork. The tournament would require four days.
