been showing promise ( lately are
Al Swan, Bob Steinbruch., How
ard Snowdon; Stewart Burns,
,Dick Stevens, George Rowboth
ani, and Don Montgomery.
Since their first. inter-collegiate
match with Cornell's little Reds

)vay off, no predictions as to the
quality of the Cub linksmen is
being made by Coach Rutherford

ten starting players were veter
ans. the 1933 Penn State lacrosse
team failed to, gain, a victory in

Game Stopped In 7th
By NICK VOZZY
A continuous• drizzling rain
failed to dull the claws of the
Nittany Lions yesterday after
noon as they chalked up their
second straight win, a seven-inn
ing 3-0 victory over the Susque
hanna Crusaders.
Righthander Chuck Medlar
yielded three scattered hits to
the visitors and allowed only one
Crusader to pass second base.
Medlar was handed the pitching
assignment in a last minute
switch by Coach Joe Bedenk
when Jim Richardson, previous
ly slated for mound duty, devel
oped a sore arm.
Scoring was confined to the
fourth inning, in which the
Lions grouped three singles and
a bage on balls for all three of
their runs.
Lead-off man Freddy Ball
walked and was advanced to sec
ond when the Susquehanna sec
ond baseman fumbled a hard hit
grounder by Warren Kolkebeck.
John Ebersole loaded the bases
with a grounder which the Cru
sader pitcher threw to third too
late to catch Ball. Clean-up bat
ter Bill Debler smashed a clean
single into left field, scoring Ball
and Kolkebeck, and sending
Ebersole to second. Peany Gates
advanced • both runners with a
sacrifice bunt down the first base
line, and catcher Alex Basista
brought Ebersole across the plate
with a single down the third base
line. Captain Eddie Sapp flied
out to the third baseman to end
the inning.
The Nittany diamondmen
threatened again in the sixth inn
ing when Ebersole was passed
and advanced to second on Peany
Gates' single. The rally was
stopped when Basista and Sapp
grounded out.
Medlar retired the Crusaders
in order in fotir of their seven
innings at bat, registering two
strike-outs and giving no bases
on balls. He was in trouble only
once, when the first two men up
in the fifth blasted singles into
the outfield. Two ground outs
and a fly-out killed the threat.
The game was called after six
and a half innings when the con
stant rain became heavier and
made continuation of the game
impossible.
Susquehanna's defeat was
their first this season. They had
previously edged Bucknell 4-3
and downed Hartwick by a 5-2
count.

Net Team Rained Out;
Meets Lehigh - Tomorrow
And Pitt Saturday
The Lion netmen's hopes for
the season's first victory against
the Bucknell racquet swingers
were well dampened yesterday
afternoon by a steady rain that
caused postponement of the
match.
Manager Carl DeLong stated
that the match will be held at a
later date, but no definite day
has been decided on yet.
Roethke's charges are expecting
a busy weekend, with Lehigh's
Engineers journeying to the
Lion's lair tomorrow and the
Pitt Panthers paying a visit to
the varsity courts Saturday.
Lehigh's net team will arrive
to play at 4 p. m. tomorrow with
an impressive string of 15
straight victories, an . interesting
challenge for any opposing
squad.
Although Roethke may shift
the order, the probable singles
players will be Captain Mac
Weinstein, Del Hughes, Chuck
Bowman, John Knode, Don
Parker, and Bill Lundelius.
