Golfer's Nerves Count Most, Says Rutherford, But Breaks Do Too What is golf's greatest intan gible, the breaks of the game or the player's nerves? "Well," says Coach Bob Ruth erford, who's been mentoring Lion links teams for some 20 odd years, "it's like this." "Some people can call it the breaks— and they count a lot in any sport —but I think that the making or bFeakinz of a good golf player is _his- nerves. ..._..'`You see, golf is different.

"But, don't get me wrong now, breaks mean something too. Take the time we_lost to Princeton two weeks ago. We had just as good as chance of taking that match as Princeton did. But when Bob Boynton sank that 20-foot putt on the 18th hole, I knew right then and there that the breaks were against us. "You know why Bobby Jones quit golf? Well, I remember the time he told Tommy ArmoUr that he didn't think it was worth while to take the mental and nerve beating he had taken from 1914 to 1930—a matter of 16 years. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN HEAD COACH of the varsity gym team at the University of Maryland will be the position held next year by Roman Pieo, above. The plucky gymnast who has won four national rope climbing championships will leave the campus in June. Fresh man Mon Faces With three victories to their credit already this season, Coach Leo Houck's frosh diamondmen go out after a fourth against the boys from Mont Alto on Beaver Field at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Last year the campus freshman nine found their first year for estry brothers a hard aggrega tion to down and it took a ninth inning rally to win the •game for the Houckmen. Today's game should be closely contested as the Mont Alto tossers annually turn out with a fairly good team. Along with triumphs over Kiski Prep, Cornell, and the Bucknell frosh, Penn State's yearling nine has been stopped by Mercersburg Academy and the little Red Raiders from Syr acuse for a record of three wins, two losses. Houck has picked righthander Ted Cauffman to start on the mound, with twirler Bob Vail on deck for relief duty if the frosh foresters get out of hand. All other Nittany starters will 1 the same as the team that faced Bucknell -last Saturday. During the game Max Green, John Shaffer, and Fred Krug will probably get into action in the outfield.

High School PIAA Track Finals To Be Held Here Beside meeting Michigan State's strong track squad in their final dual meet Saturday, the Lion's will also play host to the annual, PIAA high school track finals which will attract from 400 fo 600 high school stars. The high school finals are con sidered some of the best in the country and all participants must have been first or second place winners_ in their district meets. Michigan has met the Lion track squad twice and each team has been victor once, making Saturday's play off all the more interesting. The Spartans re cently won the Michigan State Intercollegiate championship. _The high school athletes will get under way on New Beaver Field at 10 a. M. and both the high school and college squads will compete Saturday afternoon. -AT PENN STATE eT 111 0 otnal 12 7 ' W ,s;111 - /LNY / 7 -,",„"E*2ILJE All ROOMS WITH RUNNING WATER A r awl3o).,ig - For;fejt!
