For Lafayette
With the Olmstead Field exhi
bition game tucked safely away.
Coach Joe Bedenk's baseball boys
are looking forward to the open
ing home game with Lafayette
April 19.
The' ion squad suffered one in
jury in their first game when
Pete Berletic broke his wrist Sat
urday sliding into base. Berletic
was the third centerfielder injur
ed this season. Already Davis and
Stetler are out with an insured
shoulder and broken ankle res
pectively. Stetler will be out for
the entire season while Davis is
on the sidelines for about three
weeks.
from last Yount Receives Praise
Ken Yount is receiving praise
from his team-mates for his ten
inning pitching exhibition turned
in. at Middletown. Althotigh in
several holes during the game, he
came 'baok to retire the side with
out too much damage. totals
included ten strikeouts and no
walks. Yount was -a . C 44 pilot
prior •to returning to the Lion
mound duties.
Coach Bedenk's pitching wor
ries were eased a little when Bob
Gehrett's arm •showed definite im
provement. Bob was strufck by
schrapnel while serving in the
army. If present progress .contin—
ties, Bedenk should be .able to use
Gehrett as a starting pitcher soon.'
Don Miller, who Bedenk is:
planning to use as a .starter on the'
Lion mound, signed up for the
draft this week. It is doubtful'
whether he will remain in Col
lege throughout the season.
