Baseball's Best
in Last 16 Years
Baseball coach Joe Bedenk has
led the Lion diamendeers to the
best season in his 1 16 years at the
helm of Penn State ;baseball.
This year's squad marked up a
10-I record to rank second in the
East. The previous Bedenk record
was in 1940 when the Lions won
14 while losing only 2 games.

in i1'93 1 1 and since then 'has •com
piled 1 1 59 wins •to 73 losses. Only
in 1935 did the team lose more
games than they won.
The coach had bemoaned the
shortage of pitdhers all through
Spring practice and even into the
season but the record books ,show
that Penn State pitdhing outclass
ed the batting. Ken Yount and
Bob Gehrett carried all the mound
duties. Both men will return for
next season.
Ogie Mantella caught -the
games for the two hurlers while
also hitting among the leaders in
the plate punch department.
Mariella was the Lions' repre
sentative in the East-West All-
Star game played last week in
Boston and pulled one of the out
standing plays of. the game when
he fielded a difficult bunt down
the third base line. East won out
6-2.
The infield remained steady all
season with regulars Chuck Mac-
Farland, • 1!b; Whitey Kurowski,
2h; Dan Hopkins, ss; and Gene
Sutherland, 3b. contributing to the
record hooks.
Out in the (far pastures injurie's
plagued the original starters and
Joe Teps'ic, Fred Bell, .Bob Davis,
Ray Bitting, Pete Berleitic, (Harold
Hackman, Andy Delorenzo and
Ken Hosterman all saw action.
The squad will be (honored at a
