Looking even weaker than they did when Mercersburg took them across 0-7 the week before, the freshmen were able to gamer -but two hits— both of which came because the Kiski shortstop insisted upon playing too far back. 'Russ Kuwa began the hurlinlg for the frosh. but was replaced by Joe Scully in the third after being pound ed for six hits, two of them homers, which accounted for five of runs. •Since the cubs couldn’t lift the ball out of the infield, batting honors of the day went to Earl .Stone, Kiski short-stop. In four times at bat he hit a homer, a double, and a single. His home run, which sailed - over Peante Gates' head in center field and went under the East stands on the first bounce, is one of the longest hits in frosh baseball.

CARROLL NAISH Tossers Face Bullets After Wildcat Loss By 808 WILSON That you can't fight oft n cannon with a cap pistol was concisely illus trated 'Saturday when Villanova’s mighty Wildcat nine, touching off one big bomb in the seventh inning, blew pitcher Tom Watts and his Lion mates clear out of New Beaver field, shattering State’s two-mouse power attack to coast to a lop-sided 11-4 score. Tomorrow at 4 o'clock the Bedcnk men will entertain the Gettysburg Bullets with the hope of gaining a third triumph in their seventh tilt of the season. Ben Simoncclli, Lion skipper, will face the Bullet batters on the mound. State’s lineup 1 will re main unchanged. Turning their big guns on Watts in the seventh frame with the count knotted at 4-4 the Wildcats collected five hits, powering across seven runs, before. Bob Goodrich, who replaced Watts, could quell the attack. (Cowboy Crnwle'j. Wildcat first sneker, started the merry-go-round when he tripled over Johnny Wrig ley’s head.
