On New Beaver Field...
Yount, Benyish to Start
As Lions Meet Hoyas Twice
It will be up to pitchers Ken Yount and Bill Benyish today and
tomorrow as Joe Bedenk’s Lion nine tries for its second and third
victories of the season against Georgetown on New Beaver Field.
Today’s game will begin at 4 o’clock and tomorrow’s tussle at
2:30 p.m.
Bedenk stated that Yount, holder-of the Lions’ only win this
season, will tak„ the. mound to- I
day to stop Georgetown’s eight
straight win spree.
Yount injured his back in the
Dickinson game and was unaible
to take his turn on the mound |jp r >
last week. He did, however, go 'f
in as a pinch-hitter last Saturday % -
and scored one of Penn State’s
two runs.
POWERFUL HITTER
A powerful hitter at the plate.
Yount will bat in the cleanup po
sition. Before the war he roamed
the outfield for the Lions and was
converted to a pitcher when Be
denk found himself without a
hurling crew last year.
Benyish is also a converted out
fielder who started his first game
ac a pitcher last Saturday and
limited West Virginia to six hits.
The Lion coach is also consider
ing using Benyish and Yount at
first base as he searches to find
more power at the plate.
AT SECOND
Eddie Sebastianelli will play at
second base and will be lead-off
man in the batting order' unless
Bedenk has another restless night
and decides to make last minute
changes.
Captain Gene Sutherland has
been working out all week : at
shortstop, but will probably start
at his regular third base position.
If Sutherland plays shortstop.
Whitey Kurowski will play at
third for the second straight time.
Kurowski handled .the “hot cor
ner” last Saturday as Sutherland
served as third base coach.
Bill Shelleniberger will be at
first base... again. Shellenberger
took over ■ Chuck MacFarland's
spot last Saturday when Bedenk
moved th P heavy slugger to right
field.
HOLLER BACK
Ed Holler, who caught the first
two games this season and then
retired with several broken rilbs,
ha s recovered and will catch to
day’s game with Don Herfo or
George McWilliams behind the
plate tomorrow.
'Holler’s return to duty will give
the Lions’ tail end of the batting
order a boost and his arm should
pick off stolen base seekers.
Pete Berletic will play at short
stop today under the present Be
denk plans and will bat seventh
in the lineup.
The outfield will remain the
same as last Saturday with Don
Stark, Bill Davis and Chuck Mac-
Farland roaming the outfield.
Stark is currently leading the
Lions at the plate with a .500 av
erage. The small leftfielder. has
11 hits including , a good assort
ment of extra base hits, but he
connected focr only two out of
eight times at bat, against West
Virginia. /

Lion Gridders to Scrimmage
Against Washington and Jefferson
Penn State’s gridders will wind up their first post-war spring
training period with a practice scrimmage game against Washington
and Jefferson at New Beaver Field, 1:30 o’clock tomorrow.
Football practice will resume August 18 when the Lions pre
pare for the, Washington State game at Hershey September 20.
Lion coach Bob Higgins will not use any definite lineup against
W&J, but will shift his 50-man squad around so as to give each man
maximum amount of scrimmage
experience
OUTSTANDING
Outstanding on the President’s
team is Dan Towler, 21'0-pound
fullback who was all-state 1 scho
lastic fullback at Donora two
years ago.
W&J end coach is former Nit
tany Lion star Bob Davis. Davis
played end for the Pittsburgh
Steelers last fall.
The Lions traveled to West
Point earlier this spring for a
scrimmage with Army. The Ca
dets ■ outscored Fann State two
touchdowns to one.
Higgins expressed satisflactioh
with his boys’ performance during
the spring campaign and said that
practice scrimmage against a
strange team would dp Wonders
for his 1947 team.
• The Lions have been experi
menting with the T-formation to
supplement the traditional single
wing attack. However, Higgins
stated that the plays were still
too new to be used with any
great- degree of success as yet.
NEXT FALL
When training, is resumed next
fall, Penn State will be- bolstered
by a host of candidates from the
various state teacher’s colleges. .
It is hoped that Johnny Chuck-
