Golfer's Nerves Count Most, Says
Rutherford, But Breaks Do Too
What is golf's greatest intan

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—

breaks mean something too. Take
the time we_lost to Princeton two
weeks ago. We had just as good

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.

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.

Club Plans To Sponsor
Weight lifting Team
Plans for sponsoring intercol
legiate weight lifting meets with
southern colleges next semester
were discussed by the Penn
State Strength and Health Club

The club, organized for stu
dents interested in weight lift
ing and bar-bells, holds practice
session every afternoon at Rec
Hall. Officers are Milton J.
Griffith '42, president; Harry L.
Bland '44, treasurer; and Carl A.

Plans were also laid to enter
the club as an I.M.A. unit and
to participate in the College's
intramural sports program next
semester.
Wally Leech, 128-pound fresh
man member, will enter the
Senior National Weight Lifting
Championships at Philadelphia

placing fifth in the recent Jun
ior Nationals, Leech qualified for
the Seniors. His picture will ap
pear in the June issue. of
"Strength and Health" magazine.
