PAGE FCtJR Between the Lions I By Ben French Ken Yount’s brilliant one-hit Shutout over Western Maryland was the finest pitching exhibi tion Penn Staters have seen in college baseball for a long time. The Lion right-hander faced only 29 batters—just two more than the 27 putouts—in the nine inning 9-0 State victory. Yount seemed to be lacking his usual good control in the second inning as he walked the first two batters, although he had struck out two of the first three men in the first. Beth walks were nullified when catcher George McWilliams shot the ball to second to catch the runner off base, and the next man up hit into a double play. In the third inning leftfielder Petit dropped a fly into rightfield that went for a two-base hit, the only safety Western Maryland could collect. Yount walked one mor e in the third.but retired the side on two straight strike outs. 20 Straight Putouts From that time on, not a West ern Maryland batter reached first base as Yount set down 20 bat ters in a row. Hal Hackman and Johnny Pots klan each connected for three hits in five times at bat and between them they had more than- half of the Lion hits. Potsklan stole three bases during the afternoon but Varsity Soccer Team Faces Alumni Booters In a game postponed from last week, the 1947 Varsity soccer team will meet a team of alumni and graduating' seniors on the golf course soccer field at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow.

Potsy started for second but saw the second baseman waiting for him with the ball. He turned around and streaked back for first, but by then the first base man had-the ball. Safe at Last The game of catch continued for seven or eight throws with poor' Potsy dashing back and forth between first and second Finally a high throw by the first baseman pulled the second base man off the sack just enough for Potsy to slide in safely. Don Stark, who has led the Lion nine at the plate all season, dropped to second place behind Bob Gehrett as the little left fielder went hitless In four times at bat in Wednesday’s game with Temple. Gehrett connected for one hit in three, times at the plate. All of the leading hitters drop ped several-points 1m their aver ages in the Temple game.
