First 17-Year-Old Battery Baseball Coach Joe Bedenk boasts what apparently is the first battery of 17-year-olds in the Col lege's history this summer. • When the spring graduation took Bedenk's first-string battery the Nittany mentor attempted to fill the gap with whatever ma terial he had on the. squad. During the first week of practice thi.§ semester two freshman came out fgr the _team. One was Ivan Kline and the other Art Bohard. Both were young and inexperien ced, but "Genial Joe" decided to give them a chance. That chance was all the boys needed. So far the 17-year-old bat tery has won two games.

Foakball Team Meet's Under 5-00;000 Gallons OfWater One of the queerest, yet one of the most useful structures on the campus is the white-domed water tower adjacent to New Beaver field. There'is without a doubt no oth er building of its size in the world that can boast of holding 5Q0,000 gallons of water, a. floor of class rooms, and lockers and shower rooms, not to mention the - entire football squad. This may seem puzzling to a great many students,- but classes have actually been held under water, at a point situated on the highest level of the campus. Stu dents who have had classes in the two-story structure probably nev er realized that 500,000 gallons of water were resting above their heads. The water tower, built •in 1933 and 1934, was originally construc ted for the sole purpose of supply ing water ,for the college. But as time passed, plans were made for rebuilding. the steel supported structure into a more beautiful building.

Trackmen Lose To Cornell; Face Colgate Nittany Lion trackmen will try to repeat their spring victory over Colgate when Coach George •Har vey takes his squad to Hamilton, N. Y., tomorrow. Penn State lost to Cornell, 65-61, last Saturday. "I think we'll take this meet," was the comment made by Coach Harvey yesterday concerning the Colgate meet. After the close licking Cornell gave the Lions last weekend, Coach Harvey has put his squad through intensive drills in prepa ration for tomorrow's match. A squad of . about 20 men will make . the trip to Colgate. Dick McCown and Ed Bush, , the two leading point-makers in the Cor nell meet, will carry the major portion of the Nittany attack. Frank Rainear and John Dibeler also are expected to come home first in at least one event. Summaries of the Cornell track meet follow: 100-yard dash-1. Dick Mc- Cown, Penn State; 2.•Mi/t Smith, Dale Bower Replaces Outfielder Glenn Smith Coach Joe Bedenk expects to send young Artie Bohard to the mound again tomorrow when the Nittany Lions face the Cornell Big Red at New Beaver field in the last home contest of the 1944 sea son. The freshman hurler pitched smooth ball to defeat Bloomsburg State Teachers College 9-2 last weekend. The Friday before he came in as a relief twirler against Colgate and won 10-6 in 12 inn ings. Bedenk is undecided who he will start in right field to replace the injured Glenn Smith. There is a possibility that Dale Bower will be moved from third to fill the post. In this-case Pat Patter son would take civet the hot cor ner. Will Hall might even get into the game as a substitute for Smith. The remainder of the lineup will probably stay intact. A hard contest is expected since Cornell defeated Colgate 6-1 earlier in the season. Whitey .lcurowslci turned out to be the star pf the Bloomsburg contest. He hit a home run and two singles, in addition to making a beautiful barehand catch.
