you can't take part in
sports,- be one anyway." 'That
isn't an original phrase but it
has stuck in our minds since we
first saw it in the masthead of a
. 'noted metropolitan sport column
years ago. And now that we have
•-. achieved our collegiate ambition
of authoring BTL for the coming
_year, . we'll make sportmanship
. our keynote on and off the ath
letic field.
• First columns are probably the
.toughest task a new editor has to
-tackle. As Bud Smyser said in
his retiring editorial Saturday
there _is so much uncertainty
aliottt what to say on your first
day on the job and by the time
yom!ve finished there is so much
to,. say and so little space to say
• it in. We can't vouch for the lat
ter but we're certainly an author
ity. on the tribulations. of a bud
direr columnist.
It isn't the easiest assignment
in the world following in the
such footsteps . of capable sport
.commentatcirs. .as Jerry Wein-
stein, Bob Wilson and Dick
Peters but the very prospect of
hdling 'a job .with great pos
sibilities of serving six thousand
sport fans and several hundred
ithletes is .a challenge to any
young reporter.
It is with this thought in mind
that we take up where Dick so
capably left .Off. The sport page
arid column. of The Daily Col
legian- belong to its faithful
readers and while we may fall
down . on • the job sometimes in
the future, it .will never be be
cause of a dOn't-give-a-damn at
titude on our part. You can't have
that when you wish to reach the
entire student body.
We aren't. setting any definite
platform or : making hasty prom-
ises which we'll be unable to ful
l-ill, In the, name of clean sports,
manship deserving of the best
college in the country, however,
we do promise to go to hat for
any cause which has the voice
of right and justice behind it.
Students, , athletes, and coaches
are more_ than welcome to bring
whatever problems they may
have and we'll do what little it
is irr our.poWer .to help them out.

Lion Stickmen Oppose
Syracuse Tomorrow
Determined to shake the losing
jinx which has dogged them in
their past three contests, the
Lion lacrossemen will open their
home season against a powerful
Syracuse ten on New Beaver
Field at 4 o'clock tomorrow.
Last year, the Nittanymen
were trounced 16-6 by the .vet
eran Orangemen, but tomorrow's
contest promises to be anything
but one-sided—judging from the
Lions' stiff drills this week in
offensive plays.
In' the Syracuse contest Coach
Nick Thiel will renew an old
sports rivalry with his own col
lege coach Roy Simmons. During
Thiel's six years as State mentor
the Lions have won two and lost
four games in the series.

Penn State's baseball team will
attempt to slide back into the
win column against the Colonials
of George Washington Univer
sity on Beaver Field at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, after losing 7-4 to
the Syracuse Orangemen in a 10-
inning game Saturday.
Right-hander Chuck Medlar
will probably pitch for the Lions.
Medlar did relief work in the
Syracuse game, striking out both
batters who faced him in the 10th
inning. Sophomore southpaw Ed
Tuleya is Bedenk's alternate
choice on the mound.
Jack Stauffer will start be
hind the plate instead of Alex
Basista, who has caught the last
four games. Stauffer saw action
in the last two innings of the
Syracuse battle.
Saturday's game was lost to
the Orangemen the hard way.
The Nittanymen tallied two runs
in the first inning on successive
singles by John Ebersole, Bill
Debler, and Peany Gates, and
held the lead until the eighth
inning.
At the end of the regulation
nine innings, the score was dead
locked at 4-4. Syracuse first
baseman Hess started things off
for the Orangemen in the tenth
with a single. McPhail struck
out, then left fielder Pulaski
drove a home run over Peany-
Gates' head in left. Relief pitch
er Wes Smith, who replaced
starter Jim Richardson in the
ninth inning, walked the next
two men, and another run came
in when Lion substitute catcher
Stauffer let a ball get by. Med
lar come in and struck out two
men to end the inning.
