TOWNSEND'S CAPTIVATING RHYTHM
Lacrosse Ten
Trims Cornell
By 9-4 Score
Cohn, Cbskery Score
Three Goals Each;
Buser Injured
By SAL SALA
A heavy rainfall, a mud -soaked
field, and a Cornell defense failed to
halt an offensive drive b'y the State
stickmen with the result that when
the: scoreboard was cleared of the
mud, the Ithatans found themselves
on the wrong end of a 9-4 score. The
victory snapped a two-game losing
streak for the Lions..
However, Buser's injuries added a
sour note to the triumph. In the third
quarter; Bart was body-checked by
two Redmen while in the air. His in
juries, described as pulled muscles,
forced him from the game. However,
he is expected to be able to play next
Saturday.
Lions-Gain Lead
Sc! Cohn and Ray Cookery were
the sparkplugs of the Nittany attack,
each scoring three points. Ralph De-
Falco, with two goals, and Ed Sheri
dan, with one, Were the other Lion
scores:,. The Statemen gained the lead
in the first quarter on goals by Sheri
dan and DeFalco.
Cornell's offense clicked in the sec
ond period when Heit and Cornbrooks
tallied. But their goals were matched
by Calm who accounted for the two
Lion points scored in that period,
making the score 4-2, favor of State,
atthe end of the half.
Coskery Scores
The third quarter was all Coskery.
Ray splashed in the mud and through
the Ithacans' defense to score three
goals in succession. Warming up with
a straight 'shot into the net, Ray. curv
ed his nest - shot for a tally from a
difficult side angle. Then, as he was
being chased away ft'om the Cornell'
net, Ray. flipped the ball over his
shoulder and past the amazed Cornell
goalie.

Delta Upsilon Win In Quarter-Finals;
Frat Leagues Near Finish
By ALAN C. AIcINTYRE
The 'two survivors of the long-winded intramural mushball elimina
tions will meet at 4 o'clock today on New Beaver field to decide the soft
ball supremacy cf the campus. Delta Upsilon met Pi Kappa Alpha and
Alpha Zeta played Alpha Gamma Rho last night in the semi-finals for the
right to play in this afternoon's deciding battle.
These four teams won their quarter-final games played last week. A
favored A. G.. R. combination took a 6-4 decision from the K. D. R.'s in a.
game in which the classy pitching of the' winners pulled them out on top.
Joe Ferris held the K. D. R.'s to four
ing out a round-tripper. Fred Edger ,
and also had a triple for the victors:
Bill Highhouse pitched shut-out
ball for Alpha Zeta in their 9-0 tri
umph over the Unit 6 combine, allow
ing them only three safeties. George
Jackson and Paul McCloud led the
winner's-twelve-hit attack on Frank
Eby, independent tosser, who weak
ened in the sixth and allowed seven
runs to cross the plate.
More meritorious pitching was dis
played in the Pi Kappa Alpha-Alpha
Phi Delta game in which Red Biev
enour allowed the hard-hitting Alpha
Phi Deit's only two hits, winning by
7-0. He also hit a home run, as did
Vern Smith, a teammate. Bill Stoe's
triple and double also figured in the
scoring. It wasn't until the last in
ning that Bievenour gave up any hits.
DeAntonio and DeVincenzo gained the
loser's belated safeties.
- In the ' ethei• quarter-final game,
the D. U.'s defeated Tau Phi Delta,
11-6. The winners were without the
services of their ace pitcher, Bob Mor
n* who unfortunately. broke his arm
in an alley league game with S. A. E.
The strong infield of Metz, Lewis,
Clapp, and Seigler backed up Max
Manbeck well, with Hinkey Haines
fielding• spectacularly in left. Haines
and Joachim had perfect days at bat
for the victors.
Frat Leagues.
Alpha Chi Sigma and Phi Lambda
Theta just couldn't decide the winner
of their Penn-Allen league game be
fore darkness put an end to the pro
ceedings-- in ,the-,eighth inning 'with
the score tied at 14. all. The Phi
Lanibda Theta team rallied to knot
the score-in the seventh and again
in the eighth through the bat work
of Scottie' Lightner, Dave Chase,
John Shaw, and George Fox. Bob
Filer starred at bat for the Alpha Chi
Sigs.
The competition in the Beer League
is waxing hot as the race draws to a
close. The three lower division teams
buy beer for the three in the upper
bracket, and no team is completely
Out of the running for the honors.
The D. U.'s split a double-header
Sunday with S. 2. E., 2-4 and 8-5.
Stew Marlowe pitched well for the
initial winners with Russ Dobbins and
Johnnie Shipman ably supporting
him. Curly Clapp, Harry Met; and
Bobbie Lewis led the second-game vic
tors.
Supra-superb pitching perform
ances were turned in by Paul Wol
slayer and Joe Ferris of Alpha Gam
ma Rho in their three Fairmount
league battles of the week-end in
v;:bieh. ; they...allOwed.onli one run and
two hits. Wolslayer shut out both A.
T. 0. and Sigma Pi by 4-0 scores,
while Ferris set the Phi Ep's down,
2-1. These victories put them a full
game in front of A. T. 0. in the
league standings with each having
three more games to be played.

comprised of Al Murphy, Ned King,
Bill Little, and Allen won a 4-2 vic
tory over the Kappa Sig four of Mike

ainCe 'tlie "season' hndi; NMI . '
State Freshmen easily defeated Dick
inson • Seminary, 6-2. Bob Goodrich
kept the situation well in hand during
the entire game by striking out seven
men and aiding in the only double
play.
Doug Sherwin started the fireworks
early by shelling out a home run his
first time at bat in the opening inning.
Martin Valeri, Cub 'catcher, and Stu
Quailley were the other big guns in
the attack. Valeri's triple in the sec
ond scored Sam DeFranco, while
Quailley's double in the third was
wasted.
Excellent fielding by the Nittanyites
in the pinches enabled them to squash
ninny attempted rallies on the part of
the Red and Whites. A double play
in the fourth, Goodrich to DeFranco
to Chuck Plummer, set'the Seminary
boys down before they had a chance
Nittany Netmen

Penn State's tennis team lost to
Navy for the tenth time in ten tries,
Saturday at Annapolis, in a rain
shortened match, 5-2. The netmen will
travel to West Point Tuesday to take
on the other service academy team
'Wednesday.
Al Hildbrandt, sophomore State
High product, extended his streak to
six in a yaw, Hildebrandt played his
usual steady Paine in subduing Navy's
number four man, Bill, 6-2, 7-5.
The other Lion point was scored by
Chuck Putt, who showed some spark
ling tennis in his three-set duel with
Goodman. Chuck won the first set 6-3,
dropped the second by a surprise 6.0
score, but came buck in the final set
to win out 8-6.
Capt. Paul Massey, still favoring
his, injured ankle, lost to the Middie
captain, Grantham, 6-4, 6-1. Although
Arnie -Cohen lost his sixth singles
match, be played glmd tennis, but it
seemed as though the breaks were
against him. Moore beat Arnie in
three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
Rain began to fall during the first
doubles match, which Massey and
Cumpman lost to Grantham and
Goodman, 6-2, 6-0. State was leading
in the other two doubles encounters
when itwas decided to call the match
off.
• The teams played on the Naval
Academy's green clay composition
courts, and it is possible that the
Lions were bothered by the change in
background. Navy's team had not
shown up very well this season, and
the Nittanymen were favored.

See-Saw Battle;
Smith Loses
By JOHN A. TROANOVITCH
Frank Smith ran like Man 0' War
and hit as hard as a state trooper
Saturday. But a-white-headed oppor
tunist tagged Gene Bekampis stole the
chow during the final stages_ of the
gains, and Temple's Owls pecked
State, 7-6, in a dramatic 10-inning
baseball fiesta.
Smith had just shoved the Lions
into a two-run lead with a corking
'two-bagger and had the game prac
tically sewed up as the eighth inning
opened, But Coach Joe Betienk'sl93i
, model suddenly began to sputter
worse than Uncle Ezra's Model T, and
before the inning was over the Owls
had again knotted the count at 6-all.
It all began innocently enough as
second baseman Jimmy Usilton rolled
to short: But High School Harry
Harrison tried to count the stitches
on the ball, and Usilton chugged safe
ly to first. Third bpseman•John Ko
vacevich skied to Joe Adessa. Then
right fielder Bill Docherty rifled a
i single into right field, and Usilton
raced to third. Smith, unnerved by
flimsy support, walked first baseman
Nick 'Mottola to load the bags. Pinch
hitter George Patte fanned to ease
the tension. But up came Bekampis
with a•single and in came two runs.
Kovacevich singled in the 10th,
stole second, and rode home on an
other Bekampis special. And such
was the end of the terrible tribe of
Nittanymen, invincible in five previ
ens starts and victorious in 10 or 13
previous games.
The Lions moved ahead when Mike
Kornick bunted Harrison home froml
third in the first frame, but Mettola's
home run along the right field foul
line in the second tied.the score. An
other squeeze play, with Mel Vonarx
and Adessa 'collaborating, shattered
the deadlock in the Lion half of the
second. State added another marker
Sn the third on singles by Kornick
and Sol Miehoff, sandwiched by Ray
Brake's sacrifice.
The Owls went as wild as bats in
the fourth and sec-sawed into a 4-3
lead on two singles and a home run
by center fielder Bill Van Syckle.
State tied it up in the fifth on
George Slabodian's triple and a single
by Vomit"; and then regained the
lead in the next frame on a home run
by Brake, who had previously fanned
with two on in the first and with
three on in the fourth.
The rest was just a nightmare
Thespians present . . .

EMISM
Between
The Lions
The so-called experts, grandstand,
and downtown conches, have remark
ed about Joe Bedenk's use of the vet
eran pitchers, Frank Smith and Ben
ny Simoncelli, while excellent sopho
more hurlers spend their time on the
bench. One of the arguments heard
is that the newcomers will have no
experience next year.
This is a somewhat silly contention.
Any coach is supposed to win games,
and Joe Bedenk's task is to win ball
games. That's one of the things he
gets paid for. Ile has two great pit
chers. He uses them. They w•in. He
It's true that the sophomores are
getting little experience. But that is
simply unfortunate and nothing else.
If the experts had their way, a pitch
er when he became a senior would be
retired in order that others may get
experience. That would give a man
two years of varsity competition. It's
altogether absurd.
Smith and Simoncelli are the best
and they shold be used. The schedule
is such that only two pitchers are
needed. That, too, is unfortunate.
Bedenk dries have some good soph
omore talent. Joe Didinger proved his
worth on the trash team last season
and in the Centre County League dur
ing the summer. He boasts a decision
over Smith. Ile hasn't been in such
good shape this year because of out
side work. If in share. he's good.
