Tuesday, May 10,1938 Nittany Varsities Between The Lions By HERB CAHAN Wo hml the pleasure Saturday yf* ternoou of witnessing one of the most exciting and interesting atliletic con tests, regardless of sport,' that we-ve, seen in. our young life. The game it*: self packed every element of suspense -and thrill of a novel. This LACROSSE game, in which the Nittany Lions edged out Swarth* more 7-fi, was witnessed hy only .n. few hundred spectators—left over from the track meet nnd game. But, as'for spectator and play er enjoyment, we can think of no other game that would surpnss this old In- dian sport. • Due credit has been paid Nick Thiel Tor the fine Job he does with a group of Inexperienced boys*—in his four years.here Coach Thiel has been bless ed with only three'men who have had uny previous experience. But interest in the game is spread ing rapidly, nnd has’heen inaugurated in a few Pennsylvania suburban high schools—so that there arc prospects of Nick getting a few more hoys who know something about wielditig, a la crosse stick. * . 1 Lacrosse is very popular hi Canada, both the amateur nnd professional game, and Vancouver .Is a hotbed, for the sport. The only two pro teams in the United States are in Rochester nnd Buffalo. Oddly enough it seems that girls have taken more of an ac tive-interest in the game in this coun try, with female teams ; in California, New England, and.ln and around Phil adelphia. Offensively nnd defensively.' Ln crossfi may he likened to basket Imll. Mlt*k uses u pun man-for-mnn part zone defensive, whereas Swarthmore played almost wholly a zone game. Lacrosse possesses all the speed nnd precision of. basketball, and enough body contact to satisfy the football enthusiast. •So, If you want a preview of a fu ture national pusttime. take a squint at. Thiol's proteges some afternoon— Cornell, today tit 4 on New Beaver Field. Freshman Nine Loses To Syracuse, Colgate After being routed 14-1 by Syra cuse Friday, the Frosh nine display ed a bettei' brand ,of ball to hold a strong Colgate.jiine to a au2?L count-on Saturday* on their first trip of the season. The Cubs will meet Cornell here this Saturday. . | Joe Scnlly started the hurling against Syracuse but couldn’t find the ; plate in seven tosses. WVilt Kniaz then took the mound and pitched the Vest of the game,, allowing 16 hits. Poor support in the field and hitting that garnered but four safe 'blows made it a field day for the Syracuse yearlings. Behind the 2-hit hurling of Lefty Richardson, the Cubs looked like a different outfit when they, met the Colgate frosh Saturday. Out-hitting their opponents by smashing out 5 safeties, the Cubs turned in an error less performance. State opened'the scoring by getting one in the first. -Colgate then profit ed by Richards'on’s opening nervous ness and scored twice. That ended the scoring for the day. Johnny Barr came near -tioing the score in the sixth when he caught hold of one that looked like * -homer hut, slowed up by n “trick 1 ’ knee that was thrown out of joint in thefoui-th inning, ho was stopped,at.third.
