The Lions
By, 808 GRUBB
If you were to ask the country's
leading sports writers to cite the
amateur who has provided. the most
sensational copy. during . the past
year, probably nine-tenths of them
would tell you Eddie. O'Brien, Syr...,
acuse's. track star. The Orange
streak's-rise to, fame in the -sphere
of sports during the pat year has
been- nothing short of meteoric and
his- record-breaking' activities have
provided newspapers 'with endless
columns of copy.. '
In considering • attendance •at
spring sports events, it is perhaps
just' as well that all other teams
with the exception, of the freshman
nine are cavorting on foreign fields
.tomorroW,'for the mere presence of
O'Brien - alone promises to draw a
record Crowd to witness the 'Lion
varsity's meet - With the Hillnien. On
New - Beaver field tomorrow State
sports followers will have an-op
portunity tb witness ;the United
State's leading hope" in 'the - 01yrn- ,
pies 400-metre- race this' year.
. .
Competition in the ' Eastern In
tercollegiate Golf Association end;
ed as far as they are concerned,
State's linksmen have completed
what may be regarded as a very
successful season, sans a single yet
man golfer. Once more Bob Ruth
erford has demonstrated what can
lie done with green material ; by
whipping into shape p teani 'com
posed of men with no previous var-,
sity experience and taking four out
of six Intercollegiate matches. , TwO
post season• mateheS are pending,'
one with the Centre Hills Country
Club And the other with ., Pitt's var
sity.'
Again the age-old need of more
tennis courts is brought to the fore
as'accomodations on the local clay
are at a premium. Recently, it hOs
been charged that high school stu
dents and townspeople are making ,
use of the college courts, thus de
priving students use of the courts.

Orange Squad
Freshmen Will Oppose
Cornell; Meets To

By FRANK TITLOW
Eddie O'Brien, the Syracuse Uni
,iersity flyer, leads a strong. Orange
track team here tomorrow for the an
nual dual meet with Penn State. The
freshman team will - meet Corne:l.
Both meets will be held on New Bea
ter field, beginning at 2:30.
Since he won three races—the 100,
220, and 440=against State last year,
Eddie ha's been stepping high on the
track on both sides of the Atlantic,
both indoors and out. After losing a
47.3 quarter to LuValle, Southern
California, in his only defeat' last
spring, O'Brien came back to whip
the Westerner in, the heptagonal
games at Princeton in the same fast
time.
Best Bet for Olyinpies
Last summer the lean, black-haired
speed merchant Was a sight for Eu
ropean eyes as he strutted with one
of the American track delegations
which toured the continent. He is by
far. America's best bet for the 400
meters ?t the Olympics.
His official titles are A. A. U. 400
meters champion outdoors, A. A. U.
000 meters champion indoors, and IC
4A'outdoor champion at the same diO
lance. He bits 0.7 for the hundred,
about 21 for the 220, and gets .in the
low 47's when he runs the quarter.

Varsity Baseball and Lacrosse
Teams Meet Syracuse, Colgate
In Games Away This Week-end
Bedenk Plans To Shift Pero Miller to
. Third,
Fisher to Outfield for Colgate Tilt;
Simoncelli Will Pitch Today
Penn State's baseball and lacrosse teams left yesterday for upper New
York State to meet teams from Colgate and Syracuse over the week-end.
Colgate will provide the opposition today and Syracuse tomorrow in both
sports.
Coach Joe Bedenk, in leading his nine into two of the toughest games
of the season, may make a radical change in the line-up. Today's game may
see Captain Pero Miller holding down the third base post, with Carl Fisher
being shifted to the outfield. The reason for the possible change would be
to increase the batting power without perceptibly weakening the fielding de
fense. Miller played short stop two years ago when Red, O'Hora was out
for a few games with an injury. t
The mound choice for the Colgate
encounter will be the lone southpaw
on the squad, Ben Simohcelli. Against
Syracuse tomorrow, Frank Smith will
attempt to preserve the fine record
he has established in the five games
tn which he has appeared this year:
The Red Raiders from Hamilton
have won six of their eight games
this season. Syracuse has been even
more impressive, having taken seven
games in eight starts. The records of
the two teams indicate a hard task
for the Lion nine on their third long
road jaunt of the season.
One IA the Colgate defeats came
at the hands of Syracuse, in a loose
ly played game. The score was 17 to
G. Colgate's chief hope against the
Liens will be 'Bob "Lefty" Wright,
pitcher. who has won three games
against no defeats.
St. Lawrence, the
,small college'that
produced Hal Schumacher, star pitch
er of the New York Giants, was the
only team that beat Syracuse this
year. In this game, Howie Anderson,
leading batter of the team, suffered a
broken leg. ,
Batter. Chattel
The Nittany Lion's record against
both Colgate and Syracuse shows the
advantage being all in State's favor
... Penn State dropped Colgate eight
times in twelve starts . and Syra
cuse nineteen times in twenty-four
games . .
Baseball relations with Colgate be
gan in 1896 . . . The Orange series
began in 1908... and since that time,
State-Syracuse encounters have oc
curred nearly twice yearly . There
will be another game 'this year_..
here, House Party week-end .
While both baseball games this
week-end will be tough tests for the
batsmen, lacrosse competition should
shape-up a bit differently . . Col
gate should be easy for the Lions to
day ... but Syracuse will be the first
in a series of three hard games for
Vick Thiel's ten .
John Bobo, pitcher who won two
games in three starts, suffered a
broken thumb on his pitching hand
late Wednesday ... He was hit by•a
batted ball . and did not snake the

Ist Stiff Match
"Nick" Thiel's Brother To Play
Regular Attack Position
On Orange Team.
By FRANCIS . H. SZYMCZAR
Coaeh . "Nick" Thiel 14 his hand of
luerossers. into New York yesterday,
where they .meet :Colgatd,today, and
Syracuse tomorrow. • Thk,Lions are
favored against the MEir'oon, but the
Orangemen of Syracuse:.will be the
first of three stiff major oppositions
to be met this season.
Stickmen making the trip include
the probable starting . line-up of
Robeson, Rumbaugh, HiMotf,. Hasek,
Conley, Tinfoil, Heft, Eisemnan, Ger
ber and Proksa. Substitutes are Mc-
Ewen, Simpson, Cohn,.Jacober, Eddy,
111acario, Foster, Hontz, Snook, and
Lotz.
Colgate Inexperienied
Colgate has an inexperienced outfit
which has slowly improved into a fair
team. They were defeated by Dait
mouth, 9-to-2; , Hobart, 11-to-2; and
Springfield, 9-to-2. Clair Grastorf
and, Berry Vernon are the defense
stars, while Krogh does d' fine job in
the keel. • •
Saturday's encounter with Syra
cuse; Puts Thiel' against his alint ma
ter. In addition, State's defense
must stop his brother, high scorer for
the Orange. The team is coached by
Roy Simmons, head boxing coach and
assistant football mentor. Jontos,
All-Eastern guard and co-captain of
the football team, captains the outfit
and plays a stellar defense position.
Thiel's brothci•' is the third of the
family to wear the orange 'in lacrosse
battles.
Orange Attack Good
Syracuse won their opener against
the Alumni, 7-to-2, then came the
Army game and disaster, 18-to-1.
State meets Army on May'23 at West
Point and a comparison between Sat
urday's game and that of the Point
ers can be made. The next week Syr
acuse wenp.down to Annapolis, where
they played headup boll;. but lost, 8-
to-6. They defeated Union, 16-to-7,
and won the central New York cham
pionship in setting Hobart hack for
their first loss, 16-to-11.
State must depend on close defen
sive play to stop Syracuse's fine at
tack. Kilfoil has a broken blood ves
sel in'his leg, but it is expected that
he will start, although lie may not
play long. Poster, Hontz, or Snook
will probably alternate in his second
defense' position.
, The,team went through long drills
during the week to condition them
selves for the two-game, series. 'The
previous part of the season saw ser
vice against mediocre teams, but now
the squad will meet Colgate, Syra
cuse, Army, and Maryland in rapid
order.
Tennis Team
Meets Navy,
Bullets Away
Nittany Lions Favored
Over Gettysburg;
• Navy Strong.
By STEVE CAMPBELL
The Nitteny Lion tennis team will
trY to stretch their winning streak
to four straight victories this week
end when they meet the Gettysburg
Bullets at Gettysburg and Navy at
Annapolis, :lid.
A team of seven men left State Col
lege early this morning. They expect
to arrive at Gettysburg at noon and
after resting a few hours will en
gage Gettysburg at 2 o'clock. The
team plans to leave Gettysburg im
mediately after the match and will
travel to Annapolis, where they will
stay overnight.
. Gettysburg is not expected to offer
too much of a threat to the Lions, de
spite a few impressive victories. Last
week, the Bullets defeated both Drex
el and a strong Western Maryland
team, but dropped a 5-4 contest to
Haverford.
. Navy Match a Toss-up
Berkowitz, of Gettysburg, who has
been undefeated in the last three con
tests, should offer Imre opposition to
Paul Massey than any of his past op
ponents. Massey probably has too
teach experinece and technique, how
ever, and should win his match.
Penn State has a better chance of
defeating Navy than any time in the
past coon's age or so. Navy has a
considerably weaker team this year
and has dropped a couple of contests,
one by an overwhelming score. The
Gobs are not to be underestimated,
however, for they should play better
tennis than any team met so far this
year. Even though Navy is as rela
tively weak as they are reported to
be, the match is still something of a
toss-up.
Line-up Shifted
The line-up will remain the same in
only one respect: Massey will con
tinue to play in No. 1 singles posi
tion. Campman, playing in third po-.
sition last week, will probably be
boosted into No. 2 place, with Capt.
Jimmy Smith falling back into third
the line-up remains indefinite. Four
men, Miller,
.?4t,. Perry, and, John-
