T rackmen Lose, 94-23
Penn State's lacrossemen rose above the .500 mark Sat

first time in eight years. The Lions now boast a season's re
cord of four wins, and three losses, with three games yet to
be played.
Coach Chick Werner's trackmen were less fortunate as
they fell before a powerful Ohio State squad, 94-23, for their
initial dual meet loss of the season.

Nittany Lion lacrossemen chalk
ed up win number four of the cur
rent season as they routed the
Garnet stick-wielders at Swarth
more 11-4 Saturday afternoon.
In gaining its fourth win in sev
en starts, the Nittany lacrosse
team takes claim to the mythical
Pennsylvania state lacrosse cham
pionship which Coach Avery
Blake's Garnet teams have held for
the last seven years.
The Lions stretched their rec
ord to four victories and three
losses, having dropped games on
ly to the lacrosse "big three,"
Army, John Hopkins, and Navy.
Attackmen Tally Eight
Inside attackmen, Cliff Sullivan
'and left-hander Howdy Taylor,
paced the Lions in the scoring col
umn, collecting three goals apiece.
The other starting attackman, Ken
Kerwin, flipped in two as did cen
terfielder Ernie Baer, while re
serve midfielder Sammy Kay de
counted for one tally.
Captain John Nolan watched the
Saturday game- from the sidelines.
Walt Stevens started at the center
post:while George Locotos, regular
face,off man, switched. to Nolan's
second.. attack position in center
field. Coach Nick Thiel hopes that
Nolan's shoulder injury, received
in the. Johns Hopkins game last
-week, will heal in time for the big
midfielder to see action in the
Syracuse and Cornell contests . Fri
day and Saturday.
Score in 18 Seconds
State started early to score as
Sullivan racked up the first Nit
tany tally in 18 seconds of the
opening period, dodging by the
Swarthmore zoned inside defense
to make the shot. The Garnet
scored after seven minutes, to
deadlock the first quarter at 1-1.
The second period was a see-saw
(battle. The Lions scored first only
to have Swarthmore tie it up
again at two-all. The State stick
wielders put another shot through
the net and then added two more
counters to match the Garnet's two
before the half ended with the
Nittany lacrossemen ahead, 5-4.
Garnet Held Scbreless
• Swarthmore was shut out in the
second half by the Lion stickmen.
The •brilliant man-to-man defen

"Wild Bill" Hollenbach, Pete
Johnson, Jack Pfirman, and Art
Tenhula, and reserve inside de
fensemen, Bob Hayes, Bronco

the third quarter and rack-up four
more in the last ten minutes of the
final stanza as the Garnet remain
