Last year's Army team battled to a 7-7 tie with the Navy Mid dies to gain joint control of the Wingate Cup presented to the In tercollegiate. Lacrosse champions. This year's Cadet . team has four regulars from the champion ship team and will field a vet eran combination with only four, men that haven't seen action on the varsity. These four have had experience on Army's highly rated junior varsity. . With the final week of practice Coach Nick Thiel expects to pol ish the team. to be ready to meet the highly favored West Pointers. He wil count heavily on the let termen from last - season: Cap tain John Nolan, Ken Kerwin, Bronco Kosanovich, Walt Stev ens, and Howdy Taylor. All ex cept Kosanovich are members of the NROTC. Pete Johnson who was a letter winner as a goalie on Thiel's 1944 team has been shifted to in side defense. Bill Hollenbach who is expected to fill the net duties is a letterman . from the 1944 team. Two ex-servicemen that are rounding into shape and will pro bable see plenty of action this season are - Don Kay and John Finley. Kay was a member of the squad in 1942. Bernie Cramer, who dropped out olf college in the fall of 1939 because of an injury, is thawing up well in practice drills. Track Trials Raise Hopes Showing far greater promise than was expected, Coach Chick Werner's track squad w.e nt through its paces last Saturday afternoon with a stop Watch and a yardstick. measuring their ef forts. Though there was a brisk wind which hindered runners in the distance events and troubled the efforts of polevaulter Chuck Willing, the Nittany trackmen logged times which indicate some capable performances as the sea son progresses. Zack Stephenson loomed as the outstanding - sprint -man, of the 'sqiiad' as - he was timed at 22.5 seconds in the 220-yarcldaSh and 2:04 minutes. in the half-imile run. Bob Kreitzer, . varsity foot ball hack, hit the tape first in the 100-yard daSh in 10.1 seconds. In the high jump; another Potential star, Jim Sykes, took first place with the bar at 6 feet 1 •/ inches. Oiath Werner pre dicts that Sykes will clear 6 feet 5 later in the season and bolster Penn State's hopes for victories against stiff competition. Other good penformances were those Of Mitch Williams in the mile, Shuman in the 440-yard run, and Geiwig in the javelin event. • I , THE COLLEGIAN Lion. Roars We are one of those who would like to see Nittany Lion teams entered in league competition. illoWever, as we found out' soon enough, it is much easier said than done. In collegiate Circles, especially, it is not something that is signed, sealed, and deliv ered overnight,•for, as one sports scribe put it, ."the longest way around in the formation of a lea gue or conference is the most direct approach." Coaches, players, and fans, are for the most part in favor of lea gues, chiefly baseball and basket ball. The contention is that a lea gue bolsters the fighting spirit among competing teams 'and,the competition is stronger and keen er, while interest is increased for the fan who is pulling for a top team. Football Conference The latest flareup concerning leagues was instigated by Temple and Georgetown grid roaches, Ray Morrison and Jack Haggerty, who are in favor of forming an eastern foottiall conference con sisting • of such teams as Penn State, Temple,• Georgetown, Col gate, Syracuse, and West Vir ginia. But there are too many com plications to overcome before such a league could be realized. First and foremost is the long standing relationship one team has with another, as the Lions with Pitt and Navy. Another strong factor against a linking of teams is that of the athletic and educational ideals and pradtices df member teams over a long period of time. Cage -Chances Best The chances for a league, how ever, lie best with the cage squad, although if someone gave the ball a good shove an Eastern Baseball League might result. Such coaches as Penn State's Joe Bedenk and Colgate's EpiPie Bar nes would like to see their teams in a league. Unlike football, the Lion nine could be in a league of eight teams and still play other games outside the league with long-standing opponents. The Eastern °Basketball Con ference was a successful league for five years before the war until Pittsburgh broke it up. Be sides the Lions and Pitt, Temple, Carnegie Tech, Georgetown, and West Virginia were also mem bers. Temple and Pitt would be hardest to reconvince, but other teams such as Colgate, Syracuse, Muhlenberg, Lafayette Could be given bids. Other sections Of the country, including the Pacific Coast, the South, the Southtwest, the Middle West, even the Ivy colleges have leagues, sucesSful leagues, in major'and minor sports. Why not the East and Penn State?

Led by Ken Yount, who pitched the full ten innings, the Bedenk men scored the winning run on a walk, a single and a bunt. . Yount looked just as fresh in the tenth as he did in the first. He struck out ten and issued no walks. State was leading 3-2 going when the Flyers tallied the tying run on a single, an error and a sacrifice Ey. Yount was faced with the situation of having men on second and third with none out, his deepest hole of the after noon. A deep fly and two strike outs sent the game into extra innings. Kurowski Walks • "Whitey" Kurowski led off the tenth for State by drawing a walk from Hahn, the Flyer's re lief pitcher. Chuck MarFarland came through in the pinch with his second hit of the day—a single to 'short center. Joe ; Tepsic placed a bunt along the first base line advancing the runners to second and third. Kurowski scor ed what proved to be the winning run when. Fred Bell bounced out short to first. "Ogie" Martella flied to left field to end the inn ing.
