Baseball, Nittany Nine Meets Villanova Wildcats Ken Yount, .holder of a win and a loss record for the season, was nominated last•night by Coach Joe Bedcnk as the starting Lion hurler in tomorrow's home game with Villanova. Game time is 2:30 p. m. Playing their third game of the season, the Nittany baseballers will be striving for their first win of the intercollegiate competition. The Lions lost to Lafayette 4-3 last Friday when a ninth inning rally failed by one run. Previously they had defeated the Olmstead Field Flyers by the same score in a ten inning exhibition game. Yount pitched 6 1-3 innings in last week's collegiate opener be fore giving way to Bob Gehrett. Both pitchers were steady in not allowing more than one run in any inning, ißedenk. was uncertain as to his starting outfield for tomorrow afternoon's game. Since Chuck MacFarland was on the sick list this week, 'the coach was uncer tain whether the big first base man would be able to play. Vislanova comes to State Col lege with an impressive record showing only one loss :and that to the powerful Navy team. F4clay's Defeat Last Friday's game was wit nessed by a large crowd who saw the Lions fumble five times, each error. aiding in scoring a nun for Lafayette. In•the fifth inning Yount walk ed rightfielder Reed, who quickly stole second base. Catcher Mar tella's toss went over second and into centerfield. Reed continued to third. Fred .Bell picked up the ball in center and juggled it just enough to make, his throw to home late and Reed scored with the first run of the game. Late Rally State was trailing 4-0 going into the last of the ninth when Harold Hackman, pinch-hitting for Andy DeLorenzo rapped out a clean single. "Hoppy" Hopkins • then proceeded to knock one down to short which Contini bungled.. Whitey Kurowskk promptly pounded a hard grounder to sec ond base where Commie Villanti, former batboy for the New. York Yankees, made a beautiful stop, came up with the ball and threw it into left field. He was trying to start a double play by forcing Hopkins out at second. In the meantime Hackman had scored from second and Hopkins was rounding third. Leftfielder Zipple raced after the ball and finally threw it home. where pitcher Mlard let it slip through his glove as Hopkins - crossed - the plate. Score: Lafayette 4, Lions 2. Kurowski pulled up at third and scored a minute later when . Chuck MacFarland dropped a fly ball into the outfield. Score: La fayette 4, Penn , State 3. And that's how it ended. State proved that it couildn't come through in the clinches by having 10 men stranded on the basepaths. Only the fifth inning saw -the Lions without a man on base. Ogic Martella led the Lions at Mate with two singles in four rips. Gene Sutherland drew hree walks from Allard in four Imes at bat. Gridders End Spring Drills Lion gridmen ended Spring foot ball practice yesterday in a final scrimmage. The boys have shown much improvement since the first practice, Coach Earl Edwards sated, but clue to the lack of men attending drills Spring practice had to be cut short. Promising gridders, according to Edwards, are Carl Sturgess, place kicker; Lee Henry, fullback; Hal Pratt, tackle; Bud Davis, tailback; Tom Bragg and John Kraynyak, guards. Kraynyak suffered' minor injuries and could not 'come out for the last practices. Coaches Higgins, Edward's, and McAndrews have hopes that for mer Nittany gridmen John. Nolan, tackle; Bob Rutkowski, guard; Chuck Klausing, center; Ray Ulin ski, blocking back; Bob 'Weitzel, fullback; and Joe Colone, fullback, will return to the Lion gridiron next fall to bolster the team's out look for the season.
