And when a lacrosse squad ven tures into the state of Maryland they find themselves right in the backyard of good lacrosse playing. ■ Once before this season Coach Thiel's charges traveled down Maryland way only to return with a 10-0. shellacking at the hands of Jpfin Hopkins. . Hes Our Coach if you have good eyes you may have noticed in small headlines the other day that Nick has been sel ected to coach the All-North la crosse team in the annual post-sea son North-South game. To be selected from among such lacrosse schools as Hobart, Princeton, Dart mouth, and Yale is a real tribute to good coaching. Of course there is none of the hullabaloo over Thiel’s selection that there would ■be if Bob Higgins were xxamed coach of the North football team. Yet the honor is just as great re gardless of 'the sport. So we doff' our columnistic hat to Coach Nick Thiel, more acclaimed throughout the North than on his own campus. Want Some Hiking? Come the summer semester, this College is going to have a real problem on its hands supplying a sufficient recrealion.a). apd athletic program. We have previously rgcqmmended an expanded intra jjjural program and the possibility of ihtprscjifool intramujrals. TJnabfe ip laice cere of all students, such .a program will-have to be supple mented by hikes, picnics, swim njing, sun bathing, student union dehces etc. And we repeat, it's hot lpo early to start laying plans for this recreation program. We Make A Fledge Incidentally, in our first column we refrained from making any policy commitments until we got out bearings. There is one pledge that we feel ready to make at this time however, and that is: regular and complete coverage of all intra murals this summer:, more com plete coverage than in the past be cause intramurals will hold a more important spot this summer than ever before.

Penn State’s golf team will in augurate its 21st season next Sat ux-day when the linksmen from the University of West Vh-ginia come here for the third meeting of the schools. The Lions have won the two previous encounters by lai’ge margins. Penn State last had an unde feated golf team in 1935, and be foi-e that, the Nittany golfers won all their matches in 1927 and 1930. Three years ago, the links men lost only two of nine en gagements, to Princeton and Georgetown. The condition of the golf course this Spring has precluded most of the pre-season practice, but Coach Rutherford is confident that from - the large number of. new candidates out for the team this year he will be able to select a winning combination.' Freshman candidates for the yearling golf team will be called as soon as the weather permits, Coach Bob Rutherford Jr. said last night.

And their season goes Wednesday. With the exception of golf, ten nis is perhaps the one game in which most students will engage after they graduate; yet it is in a state of decline here at Penn Estate. Facilities are at a new low, too. Building expansion on campus has also taken its toll. Ai though the student population usually in creases from year to year, we now have fewer tennis facilities than were available 20 years ago.

Special to the Collegian Believing his team to be strong er on the defensive side of the game than on the offensive, Coach Thiel expressed the belief that the Lion stickmen would fight a hard battle with the Midshipmen.

The /" First National Bank Of State College Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation PAGE THREJE Batmen Postpone W. Maryland Tilt, Point For D-Son With this afternoon’s scheduled baseball game against Western Maryland postponed, Coach Joe Bedjenk’s diamond minions settled down today to prepare for Dick inson College on New Beaver field Wednesday. Practice is called for 2 o’clock this afternoon, and if weather conditions remain the same, the Lion nine will work out upder the New Beaver field stands and in Rec Hall, where they werie con fined yesterday. “Wte can’t do anything if the weather stays like this,” said Coach Sedenk, looking at the low, gray clouds as rain drizzled down. However, the baseball mentor is hopeful, the skies will cliear by Wednesday, so the Penn State squad can get started on its sche dule, even though lack of prac tice may make the Lions under dogs. Last, year the home nine scored an easy win over the Dickinson Red Devils, 5-2, in a mid-season contest. Two of this year’s ex-' pfected starters shared in the win, as Captain Bill Debler, first base man, collected a hit and a run, and Shortstop Whitey Thomas du plicated Debler’s feat. If the Blue and White doesn’t get a chance to see action against the Dickinson lads, two more op portunities will occur next week end when Gettysburg and Col gate travel here Friday and Sat urday, respectively. Franny Farris, slated to start at second base, is still followed by an injury jinx. Farris’ knee has been causing him trouble and he may have to be replaced at the keystone spot by sophomore Ed Sebastianelli. Last year, a broken ankle sidelined Farris after the' stalrt of the season. Three Alumni Made Gadeis Shirley K. Smith of State Col lege and two other former Penn State students, Alfred H.
