Coach Joe Bedenk and his minions are still confined to dry ground under the New Beaver Field stands and Rec Hall. Last season ,the Lion nine open ed against Gettysburg and won by a 20-run margin with the aid of Ed Tuleya, returning southpaw hurler, who held the opposition to four hits. Tuleya may start in the opener this season. Captain Bill Debler, who ployed, with the Nittany varsity diamond men for two years, collected two singles and a home run in the 1941 initial game. Debler also played with the freshman team three sea sons ago and was a big factor in the Cubs’ undefeated record that year. Originally an outfielder, . Bill was converted to first base after the beginning of last year’s slate, and is a sure starter at first this year. He led the Blue and White in hitting for the season. Franny Farris, a Senior, has had little opportunity to display his skill in the infield, although he is almost certain to be stationed at second base. At the outset of last year he w?B named for the “key stone” post but a broken ankle sidelined him for the season. Golf Team Will Meet West Virginia April 18 Handicapped by two feet of snow on the golf course and the loss of three lettermen, this year’s golf team Will enter its first meet April 13 against West Virginia with very little practice under its bejt.

Rutherford said he had no idea of the probable lineup but that with the excellent material out for the varsity this year, Pehn State should nave a Winning squad. Approximately 14 players turned out for practice before the golf course was snowed under last week. Three letter men are miss ing from last year’s squad through graduation or leaving school.- They are Don Leyden, Jack Brand and Scotty Maxwell. The linksmer. will meet Buck nell on April 25.
