tory over Sigma Phi Alpha headline
the week's results.
Don Householder's loime run and
two doubles contributed to Alpha Chi

12-7, which kept the winners in pos

Coach Joe Bedeck oildd his baseball
machine Saturday and succeeded in
removing enough of its kinks to pave
the way for a 5-0 victory over a futile
Susquehanna team that had been pre
viously trounced by Bloomsburg

Smith's five-hit shutout pitching fea
tured an otherwise drab affair.
The Lions iced the game in the very
first inning, shoving four runs across
on singles by Johnny Waters, Co-cap
tain Mike Kornick, Sol Miehoff, and
George Slohodian, two errors, 'and a
pair of stolen bases. They scored their
final marker in the third when Ray
Brake walked, took second on a passed
ball, and rode home on Jce Adessu's
infield hit to third.
Indifferent base-running spragged
a budding Lion rally in the sixth
when State packed the bases on three
successive singles with none out, yet
failed to tally: Miehoff opened with

line. Slobodian then bunted sharply
to short, and the bases were crammed
when he beat the throw to first.
But big Mel Vonarx popped meekly
to third, and with Smith at the plate,
the Lions dozed off on the basepaths.

COMPLETE A PERFECT JUNIOR PROM WEEKEND
Saturday, May 15
ttsburgh, 74-61
State Drops Tilt
To Army Ten;
Score: 5-2
West Point's "Reserve Strength
Levels Lion Laerossemen
It took 30 Army lacrosse players to
preserve their undefeated season and
to snap State's winning streak at four
games when they defeated the Lions,
5-2, at their field Saturday. State,
using only two substitutes, suffered
its second defeat in six starts.
•As in football, the final result of
the game rested on the power of the
substitutes. With State leading 2-1
at the end of the third quarter, the
West Pointers threw a steady stream
of fresh men into the game in the last
quarter who tired the defense to the
extent of allowing them to score four
goals, two of them within the last
minute of play.
Coskery and Captain Conley were
responsible for the State scores, the
latter tallying on a beautifully ex
ecuted screen play in the third quar
ter. Meyers was outstanding in his
defensive work and had much to do
with Army's low score.
Army regulars were on the bench
when the opening whistle blew, but
saw action before the first quarter
was over, although they led 1-0 at the
time. Monk Meyer, playing his first
year at lacrosse, used his football
sprinting ability to good advantage
but weakness with the stick kept him
from scoring.—S. S. S.
