will be the entry in the meet of
three members of the freshman
squad of this Spring, Gerry Kar
ver, Cliff St. Clair, and Bill Shu
man.
These men, now upperclassmen,
will be eligible for competition

Their competition in this meet
is .of special interest.

Sigma Nu Tie For 2nd
By MILT DOLINGER
, Taking over the Independent
mushball league top spot by vir
tue of a 15 to 0 shutout over Jor
dan Hall, the Canal St. Fire
house leads the race going into the
home stretch by a margin of one
game.
Again it was the clouting of
Johnny Silain and the mound work
of Borsa that sewed up .the one
sided contest. Allowing only two
hits, Borsa fanned bewildered
tiorm men in rapid succession, in
addition to scoring two runs him
self.

Soph Hurlers Need
Experience, Says Lion
Baseball Catcher
If Penn State's baseball sched:.
ule were heavier, 'the Lion' nine
would have a pitching problem,
for only one player is capable of
going the full distance on the
mound and making a go of it.
'Whitey Pyer who will probably
start against Washington and Jef
ferson •in a game here Saturday is
the only veteran moundsman on
the team. The other hurlers are
sophomores, badly in need of ex
perience.
George McWilliams, first string
catcher, who is in a good position
to know pitchers, said that soph
hurlers start on the mound too
sure of themselves.
"They try to throw the ball past
the batters," he said. "Then when
the opposition hits they lose confi
dence 1- - ..nd blow up. I think a few
more. games will get them used to
it though, and we'll have some
good pitching."
