PAGE SIX Baseballers Blank Pitt; Meet Mules Tomorrow Striving to stretch their present winning streak to four games, the Nittany Lion baseball team, after their shut-out :victory over the Pitt Panthers in the "Smoky City" Saturday will take on the battling Mules from Muhlenberg on New Beaver Field at 4 p. m. tomor Muhlenberg comes to the credit over the Lafayette baseballers, the only team to outscore the State diamond nine this season. Ken Yount, possessor of vic tories over Bucknell and Olmsted Field, will probably be Coach Joe Bedenk's choice to toss them in at the Mules tomorrow. Yount has proved himself to be a capable, steady hurler who looks just as good in the ninth inning as he does in warming up. Gehrett Pitches Bedenk's other ace, "Rapid: Rob ert" Gehrett, pitched a skillful six hitter in clowning Pittsburgh 2-0 Saturday for the Lions' second straight shutout. Gehrett, who ac quired his nickname because of his similarity to Cleveland Indian star Bob Feller, chalked up his second win in two starts this sea son. Pitt's six hits were well scatter ed and Gehrett found hlmsell in trouble in only one inning when Smodic, Panthe r • rightfielder, led .off with a triple. A putout at home soon placed the Lion hurler back in full control of the proceed ings. Score on Errors State scored both of their runs on wild throws. Floppy Hopkins led off the first by drawing a walk. Whitey Kurowski 'claimed inter ference at the plate and was ush ered to first base. Chuck 'MacFar land bounced to third baseman Kuzio, who threw wild over first, enabling Hopkins to scamper home with the first Lion marker. The scene was repeated in the ninth for the benefit of the fans who missed the first act. This time the principals were Ogie Martella, who scored, and shortstop Barnes, who made the error. State again played errorless ball. The Panthers will journey to State College, Saturday, for an other game with the Lions after meeting West Virginia in Pitts burgh this afternoon.

Nittany captain, John Nolan, was put out of action early in the second quarter with a shoulder injury that will keep him side lined for at least two weeks.

He collect ed three tallies each half and sparked the superior Jay stickmen who swished the nets for seven in the first half and twelve more in the last. The Penn State lacrossemen were able to score only after the Jays had taken a three point lead in the first quarter as centerfield er Ernie Baer took a pass from Nolan, cut . from the left of the goal, and shot the ball past the Blue Jay netman for the initial Nittany tally.

I. performer cleared the bar at 6 feet, 5 1/2 inches, bettering the - mark set by Dick Smith in 1940 at 6 feet, 2 inches. In the 440-yard run, Jim McGuire, Colgate ace, who was clocked at 47 seconds in winning that event in the IC4A's last year, lost a spiked shoe on the second turn.
