Lion Bat
Bedenk Will Take
21 Along on Trip .
Georgetown, Washington College
Meets To. Come Thursday,
Saturday After Navy.
By BILL. 15IcDOWELL
With rain again yesterday, it would
be a rash and impulsive soul indeed
who would predict just • when and
where the Penn State baseball team
will play their delayed opening game
of the season. Theoretically, at least
State will meet Navy tomorrow on
Lawrence field. in Annarforlis,-George
town at Washington, D C. Thurs
day afternoon, and Washington Col
lege at Chestertown, Md., Saturday
afternoon. Twenty-one members of
the team and Coach Bedenk'will leave
for Annapolis at 12:95 o'clock today.
The Susquehanna game scheduled
'for Beaver field Saturday afternoon
was postponed until May 7 because
of the soggy condition of the field.
With the Bucknell game carded for
the Saturday before postponed until
May 1, the team is going to do plenty
of ball playing next month if the
weather ever clears up.
Last year every game was played
on schedule and the only interference
from rain came befOre the season
started when it held up practice ses
sions. Two years ago three contests
had to be postponed.
Consider for a moment the predica
ment Coach Joe Bedenk and the team
are in. Tomorrow's game will be
Navy's third battle of the season and
they have the advantages of one vet
eran pitcher, the experience of these
two genies ' and that of playing on
their own field. They won a game
against Vermont University Wednes
day 1-to-0 and lost to Michigan 3-to-1
Saturday.
Eighteen players with Coach Joe
Bedenk, Manager 'Mark Hall, and
two junior managers are expected to
make the trip. The squad including
Captain McKechnie, first base, Rob
bins, second base, Stocker, third base,
O'Hora,, short stop, Bielicki, right
field, Miller, center field, and Witwer,
will also carry six pitchers,. three
catchers, and an extra outfielder.,
Mikelonis will travel along to bolster
outfield batting if it happens to need
it during the course of a game.
Pitchers who will make the trip
are Frank Smith, Lefty Knapp, Ernie
Stokes, Wilmer Bachman, Mason
Walsh, Charles Seltzer, and Lloyd
Rugh: Mike Korniek, Whitey Girton,
and Al•Oelirock ;,vill;go along to hold

This is by way of introducing the
new sports editor, Walter 13.
Freunscfi, the gent who wrote soc
cer and golf, as a general• rule. It
grieves us no little at 3:18 a. in. to
turn over the reign to Mr. Freunsch,
for we feel . rather traitorous. re
membering } 'the time that we be
came irked at some Freunschinn
idiosyncracy and threatened him
with the Job. Mr. Freunsch, who
has been Radio Mike all along,
dropped to his knees and began to
chant, "Ali, ali Ben ali! There
is but one god, and 'l3laelcie' is his
prophet! Ali, ali! Have mercy
on this unbeliever and wreak not
thy vengeance so by naming me
Sports Editor. Ali, Ali! Ben Ali!"
We relented relentlessly.
So we leave the woe and wassail
to Mr. Freunsch, confident that . he
will have a better department—and
specifically, a better column—than
has existed during the past twelve
months. As for us, we have got
in the hair of a good many persons
in high .places, if hair there existed,
and have even received a few close
ly-guarded compliments. For in
stance, the staff substituted "fww"
for the usual epithets.
The once choice memento that
we shall keep is the letter signed
"A Senior and A Freshman," that'
damned us to eternal hell fire for
ever. Without that, we should not
have had . the courage to go on in
the face of onerous compliments
that could easily be reduced to idle
flattery.
We have had one year to say
things and our last fifteen minutes
of incumbency is no time for re
capitulation. For people who know
what that is all about: "Thanks

Lion Netmen Prepare
For 8 Match Season
Despite handicaps to an early sea
son because of inclement weather, the
Nittany netmen, with five veterans
returning to the squad, look forward
to a decidedly successful season un
der the tutelage of "Dink" Stover.
Among the lettermen of last year
are: Captain Nels Green, Pip Block,
Jimmy Smith, Pete Barber, and Jack
Ifeyison.
Conspicuous among the aspirants
'for ranking positions, is John Mc-
Gann, •thirty-seven-year-old veteran
of Pennsylvania amateur tourna
ments and present educational direc
'tor at Rockview penitentiary, who re
cently enrolled as a special student
here. His eligibility, along with that
of "Dot" Anderson, co-ed racqueteer,
has been scheduled for consideration
by the College Senate.
Tentatively, eight matches have
been arranged for the Lion netmen,
with four tilts slated• for native
courts and the same number requir
ing invasion of foreign 'territory. On
April 27, Pitt will play here, while
'on May 4 and May 11, Carnegie Tech

4 Veteran Golf Men
Return To '35 Team
With four veterans returning,
Coach Bob Rutherfo'rd faces a tough
ten-match golf schedule with confi
dence. Co-captains Chick Beyer and
Tommy Marshall, with the aid of Don
Masters and Roger Hetzel, should
compose a formidable Lion contin
gent..
This is the third season of varsity
competition for all of these players,
and it is extremely doubtful if even
a player of the caliber and fame of
George Menard, Philadelphia junior
champion, can expect to crash this
line-up. However, if any of the vet
erans should fail to live up to ex
pectations, capable reserves in the
persons of Menard and others will be
available to take their places.
The schedule, as released by Man
ager Vernon Platt '36 Consists of the
following matches. 'Cornell, April 27,
here; Pitt, May 3, away; Carnegie
Tech, May 4, away; Bucknell, May
10, here;' Lafayette, • May 11, here ;
Cornell, May 18, away; Haverford,
