Roethke’s biggest problem now is to whip the team into top form for 'the opening of the coming court campaign, which is oply eight days away. Hampered by unseasonal weath er the netmen have had only three days of outdoor practice until this Week. Except for these three days, their practice has consisted of nightly drills on the Rec Hall floor. In addition to being handicapped by the inclement weather and the lack of practice facilities, the net men also face an exceptionally strong schedule this season. After their opener on the 15th against Susquehanna, which is ex pected to be the poly “breather” on the schedule, the Roethkemen take to the road against strong teams from Lehigh and Muhlen berg. Muhlenberg routed Lehigh by an 8-1 scare last year, bui W as defeat ed by State 6-3. Lehigh later de feated State by the same score.

After constant errors and poor playing by the team, Coach Joe Bedenk declared, “The only game we’re ready for is one in a peanut league.” Hitting was off and strategy poor. Coach Bedenk blamed part of the unpreparedness on his in experienced material, since most of thp players are sophomores. He pointed out that it is muph more difficult for a player to step from freshman baseball to varsity than it is from high school to a frosh nine. Yesterday was the first time the freshman outfielders and in fielders practiced outdoors. Al=. though the ’45 schedule do.es not start until May 2, yearling hurl ers and catchers have been .get ting in shape for several weeks. Despite their condition, the Lion basebaliers are expected to halve an edge over the Green Ter rors from Western Maryland. Last year the Bedenkmen were on the heavy side of a 12-1 score.
