Lion Lacrosse Team Loses Tilt,
8-4 To Champion Swarthmore
Swarthmore successfully de
fended its Pennsylvania state col
legiate championship against Penn
State’s lacrosse team when they
took an 8-4 decision Saturday af
ternoon on New Beaver Field.
Suffering the same trouble in
this game as in their defeat earlier
in the week against Maryland,
Coach Thiel’s men couldn’t over
come a first-half, 5-1 lead which
the Philly team built up. '•
Played during a driving rain
storm, the second half was turned
into a chaotic melee with sticks
flailing and hacking in the Lion’s
all-out effort to win the mythical
state title. Several times during
the desperate last half the Nittany
men almost overcame the victor’s
lead.
Highlight ot the game came in
the fourth quarter when State had
the ball near the Swarthmore goal
and two more points would have
meant the game. Three attempts
were made in this attack on the
opponent’s goal, but all faile'd.
Penn State scoring for the af
ternoon was done by Mark Sing
ley, Charlie Temkovits, Jim Rit
ter, and Tom Mitchell with one
goal apiece.

Another Champion
Yes, Penn State has had a great
year athletically. We’ve had
championship teams and individu
al champions in . profusion. But,
according to all Indications, Nit
tany Lion honors for 1941-42 are
far from complete.
No logical reason presents itself
as to why Ken Yount, frosh rifle
man, will not be named on the
All-American rifle team when it
is selected by the National Rifle
Association in the near future. At
the recent NRA tournament, held
at Navy, Ken shot a blistering 286
out of 300 to wind up third in the
East and fourth in the nation. If
he rates fourth in the nation
among collegiate marksmen, what
is more natural than that he be
included in the team of 10 All-
Americans. That is of course un
less the officials hold its against
him because he is a freshman.
Ken got his first taste of shoot
ing at the age of 14. One day
while hanging around the local
fire hall in Kittaning, Pa., some of
the fire fighters jokingly asked
him to join them in a little prac
tice. To their’ amazement, Ken
outshot every one of the Veterans.
He went on to lead the town team
and later organize a rifle team at
his high school. Last year he took
top honors in the offhand or stand
ing event at the Youngstown tour
ney. and was runner-up for indi
vidual honors.
His average for 11 meets with
the frosh team this year has been
288; the highest average in the his
tory of Penn State shooting, and
possibly the highest average eyer
recorded for a collegiate marks
man. He now holds 18 medals for
rifle proficiency.
Hal Yount, Ken’s brother and
captain of the varsity squad, al
though not as good as Ken, is also
in line for national recognition.
Incidentally, Ken may turn out to
be a valuable man on the dia
mond. Last Spring he pitched two
no-hitters on his county team.
What more fitting climax for
Penn State’s year of years than to
have a freshman become All-Am
erican marksman. And frankly,
we don’t see how he can miss.
