, April 9, 1937 BETWEEN THE LIONS By 808 GRUBB Track Team? Does Penn State have a track team? One' might be inclined to answer in the negative after a swift glance over the complete Lion spring sports sched ule. Listed on the 1937 card are,three dual meets, only one of them at home. From an examination of that meagre schedule one, might conclude that track didn't receive much attention as a varsity sport here. The unin formed would find it hard to beliye that track has been , a varsity sport for many, many, years; furthermore, that it is a sport which has . made ra pid strides in the past few years. Another fact that doesn't deem to ring true concerning_ this neglected sport 'concerns the increased attention given to• track throughout the year. Year-round training, the advent ,of winter track meet, an intensive inter class and intramural ' program—all building up to a-great climax—only three dual meets! It's sort of a dis torted picture, isn't it? The* other day we were talking to a cbuple of • varsity men who have been in training ever since last Sep tember. "It doesn't give you much to work for," was the comment of. one on the short schedule. "I always. do my best at a home . meet;' said the other, "and you can't get worked . up very much over a single hoine 'meet." True, one home meet doesn't provide very much incentive, and a season of three dual meets in all .doesn't seem to be much justification for all-year round effort. Of course, there are the Penn Relays and the I. C. 4-A. com petition in addition to the dual meets, but still you have a pretty meagre schedule. Perhaps wih the least bit of effort one o• two more home meta could be added to the Lion card, even at this late, date. Certainly a dual meet just before 'the Penn Relays would provide some stimulus to a weak schedule,.

Most promising of the sopho more, aspirants are Bill Gross, Ed Hebda, Prod Machmer, Jack Mahaf fey, Bill Patterson, and Bill Walker. With such an array of talent, com petition 'for the starting positions will be unusually keen. Already the boys are up on the links loosening up: Ben nett has been practicing all winter. The greens are not open yet, but Rutherford hopes to have them in shape by the middle of the month. It all depends on the weather, he says. Last year's aggregation, although talented in spots, b did as well as, it did upon spirit alone. It is thought that this year talent and experience will be an added asset, which is a most natural assumption. The schedule: May 1, Bucknell, honk; May 7-8, Princeton, Pennsyl vania, and Georgetown at . Pittsburgh; May 14-15, Pittsburgh and Cornell at home; May 21-22, play-offs at plate to be chosen. It was hoped to have a meet with Army, but the date,fell at the same time as the championship play-offs. This may be a pretty fair. indication of what Rutherford expects from his charges this year. • Women in Sports By CAROLINE TYSON Baseball bats will start swinging on Holmes Field Monday at 4 o'clock when prospective champs from all four 'classes will meet for the initial practice.

Into Rout After Close Ist Quarter BY FRANCIS SZYMCZAK Penn State's lacrosse team was overwhelmed by a frequent-pcoring i Harvard ten, 11-to-1, in its season opener on New Beaver field, Tuesday afternoon. The score at the end of the first quarter was 2-to-1 in favor of the winners but the Crimson scored three points in each of the remaining quar ters to run away with the game. Hammond, Harvard inside home, scored the first counter of the game in 5:1.I on a' long shot. A few sec onds later'Scott, second attack, drove in a hard shot. Captain Jack Conley, playing at in home for the Lions, scored the only point for the Blue and White when he shoveled in a score unassisted. State's attack had real difficulty in trying to penetrate the standing zone defense of the'. visitors. The team as a whole played poor ball, missing passes, failing to scoop up loose balls, and becoming demoralized' as the score mounted. Cushman, Harvard second attack, took scoring honors with four points. Campion, Hartstone, Hammond, and Taliaferro (2) converted on opportu nities to score.
