Turns Lion's On Pitt Coach Chick Werner, Nittany Lion track mentor, will send his charges against the Pitt Panther in the first home dual meet of the season. Werner is counting on Barney Ewell to lead the trackmen against the Pitt invad ers. Net Squad Faces Syracuse Today Linksmen Enter EIGA Competition Hoping to stretch their string of consecutive victories to five straight matches, the unbeaten Lion golfers will enter EIGA competition today in a triangular mcet with Pitt and Cornell on the Alcoma Country Club course at Pittsburgh. Coach -Bob Rutherford, al though worried about the morn ing match with Cornell, is fairly confiderii that his team will top ple Pitt. The Panthers bowed 6-3, in their opener last Satur day, to the same Army team which was edged 5-4 by . State. Cornell is always a power in eastern intercollegiate golf. Making the trip this weekend will be Captain Jack Brand, sophomore Don Hart, Bob Wal lace, Chuck Seebold, Don Ley den, Bill LaPorte, and sophomore newcomer Ed Fairchild. The first five men will participate in the matches, Coach Rutherford stat ed yesterday, and either La- Porte or Fairchild will be the sixth player. Last year, the Lion linlisrnen had four straight victories tucked under their belts, including one over Pitt, before they about-faced in their first match with Cornell. • THE DAILY COLLEGIAN On Beaver Cinders At 2 P.M. Ewell May Enter 440 As 4th Event By DON DAVIS For the first time in his heav ily burdened track career, Nor wood Henry "Barney" Ewell may carry the brunt of four -events when the Lion tracksters open their dual meet season against Pitt's track and field squad on the New Beaver cinders this after noon at 2 p.m. Favored for firsts in his reg ular 100 and 220 yard dashes and in the broadjump, Ewell may further harass the Panthers by entering the 440 yard run. Com peting against Ewell in the sprints will be two outstanding Panther dash men, Bill Carter and Hap Stickel, who are ex pected to push Barney to the limit. However, Stickers leg in jury may keep him on the side lines. In judging by past records the comparative chances of the Werner-coached Nittany Lions and Coach Carl Olson's Smoky City outfit, it all adds up to a score, probably close enough to be decided by second and third places. Coach Werner is expecting his charges to come through in the hammer and shot put events, manned by Saul Han in, Frank Plat, Joe Bakura, and Maxwell Corbin. In the mile-run Norm Gordon has been showing up well for the Lions and should definitely be in the running along with Alex Bourgerie, Pop Thiel and George Harrison. Zeke Sterner is the Panther's best bet in the distance events. Pitt will probably hold sway in th high and low hurdles, in the javelin throw, and in the middle distances, but as Werner expressed it, "anything can hap pen in a Pitt-Penn State track 'meet." The pole vault event pre sents an interesting contest in that both Scotty Moffat and Pitt's Dusty Rhoades went to high school together at Bradford, Pa. Rhoades is favorea in this event over Moffatt and Bakura. The high jump is a toss-up be tween Johnny Glenn of State and Pitt's Dave McDowell; Glenn placed second in the indoor IC 4-A's while McDowell was run ner-up in the IC4-A outdoor tourney. When the anchor man on the winning mile relay squad finally breaks the tape this afternoon, he will close the curtain on the 27th dual meet between the Panthers and the Nittany Lions. And according to Werner, this last event is likely to be the de cisive one. Frosh Baseballers Play Cornell Yearling Team At Ithaca Today Penn State's freshman baseball team plays its second game of the year today, with the yearling Cornell team in Ithaca, after scoring a 9-5 win over Kiski Prep in their season opener on Tues day. • Coach Leo Houck's starting nine will be practically the same as the team that saw action against the Kiskimen. Bob Sperl will replace John Stover on the mound for the frosh Lions, and Jim Romberger will catch. Ed Sebastiannelli, who smash ed out three safeties against Kis ki, will be shorstop. Bill Sidler, producer of a double and single in the opening game, will be back at the third base sack. Other starters are Jack Ger main at first base, Ed Lucas at - second base, Max Greene in left field, John Burford in center field, and John Shaffer in right field. Track captain Cievige Howey '35, was undefeated in dual com petition in the mile and the half mile. Lion Nine Seeks 4th Win Against Terrors At 2:30 By NICK VOZZY Coach Joe Bedenk's baseballers meet the Green Terrors from Western Maryland on Beaver Field at 2:30 o'clock this' after noon in an effort to pull their victory average for the year up to the .500 mark. The Lions pulled out of - their early season losing slump with a 5-2 decision over the Dickinson Red Devils here on Wednesday, and the Nittanymen are hungry for another triumph today. Veteran righthander Chuck Medlar, whose record this year stands at one victory and two de feats, will be on the mound for the Blue and White. Sophomore catcher Jack Stauffer, who has seen action in the last few games, will again start in the backstop position. All other starting Lions will be the same as in the Dickinson game. In the infield, it will be. Bill Debler at first base, Captain Eddie Sapp at the second sack, Whitey Thomas covering the shortstop territory, and Freddy Ball at third. Out in the "garden," Peany Gates will roost in left, Warren Kolkebeck in center, and John Ebersole in right field. Gates has been handicapped by a taped shoulder and leg injuries, but has played a full game against each of the Lions' oppon ents. In the Dickinson game he made a beautiful shoestring catch of a ball that looked like a sure single into left field. Des pite his injury, Gates is batting at about a .250 clip. Today's game will be the sea son's eighth for the Bedenkmen. After losing to Penn 8-3, and Princeton 8-4, the Lions mass acred Gettysburg 21-1 and shut out Susquehanna 3-0 behind Medlar's three hit pitching. They slipped down to defeat again in a 7-4 loss to Syracuse and 12-9 beating by George Washington, then downed Dickinson, making their record so far three wins and four losses. Sophomore southpaw Ed Tul eya and senior sidearmer Bob Robinson will be on the sidelines for pitching duty today if the Green Terrors become terrify ing. Alex Basista may step in to replace Stauffer behind the plate if a relief hurler is sent in. READ THE COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS SECRETARIES, ATTENTION !
