Spring Practice
Approximately 45 canr>! ’■
who answered Coach Nick Thiel’s
first call for spring lacrcsse orac
lice. are now working out daily in
preparation for the season wlii.-i
begins April 16.
These 45. forerunners of the 60
expected to turn out before the
initial game of the season, are
now doing running and condition
ing exercises in Rec Hall while
waiting for warm weather to melt
the snow and permit outdoor
practice.
Most of the sciuad are veterans
yho played under Thiel last year.
Nucleus of the team will be the
16 returning iettermen from last
year’s aggregation which won 6
games and lost 5.
Among those returning are
Captain “Wild Bill” Hollenbach,
a stellar performer at goal, and
attackmen George Locotos. John
Nolan. John Finley and Roger
Nestor. One of these men is ex
pected to fill the hole left by the
graduation of Ken Kerwin. high
scorer of last year’s lacrosse team
and a bulwalk on offense.
Chief candidates for the defensi
positions left vacant when John
Pfirman. Art Tenhula and Peic
Johnson are graduated are 'o>t
bailer Tom Spiith. Dean Kisse.
Bob Abernathy. Harry Bragg ant
Jack Hayes.
Thiel emphasized that many
positions on the team are open
and expressed hope that sopho
mores would try out for the
squad.
“Experience isn’t necessary,” he
•stated. “In my 14 years at the
College I’ve only had 12 bovs wno
had played lacrosse previously.
However, it is important that the
boys come out when they're soph
omores so that they can learn '.he
game well l el'ore they graduate.
“Although I don’t think we
have a national champion.” Coach
Thiel said, “I do feel this will he
as good an outfit as I’ve ever had
at Penn State.”

Studded with stars of all shapes
and sizes, the Philadelphia team
is noted for its ability to fall apart
in the closing minutes of a contest.
■Just last Saturday the Templars
were enjoying a comfortable lead
over West Virginia whe n suddenly
the roof fell in and in six minutes
/he “Rebels” poured thirty points
through the hoop to win, 8-1-75
After winning their first three
’ames, inclr "ng a 56-53 close call
over Muhlenberg, Temple lost a
battle to Oklahoma A. & M. and
then surprised the “sure thing”
boys by upsetting a highly favored
Kentucky team. 60-59.
A win over Dartmouth, a loss
to NYU. Santa Clara, and Colo
rado U. set the stage for the long
est Owl winning streak, a six.

leading team in the nation. NYU.
Seemingly deflated by the one
nolnt decision that the New York
team gave them. Temple was
handed its most decisive setback
of the year when Holy Cross
swamped it, 71-44.
Coach Lawther will bank on the

Vie Saturday
With an eye on the record
Looks. Penn State’s track team
will travel to South Bend, Indi
ana. Saturday for the second and
final dual meet of the season.
Two hurdle marks were shat
tered in last week’s meet against
Army, and a two-mile mark was
missed by just a few tenths of a
second. Since Captain Jerry Kar
ver will run in the mile and
probably a mile or two-mile relay,
the chances of the Wernermen to
establish their reputation as top
ranking runners will be greatly
enhanced.
"The mild weather this week
gave the pole vaulters and
weight men a chance to prac
tice." said Coach Chick Wer
ner, "but we need men for the
high jump to round out tils
squad. If anyone has had any
experience in the high jump at
high school, he would be a wel
come asset to the team.
"In last week’s meet," con
tinued the coach, "the winning
'eight was under six feet, so
the position on the squad is
wide open for anyone who has
jumping ability."
Jim Gehrdes. who ran the 60-
yard high hurdles in 7 and 3/10
second last week for a field house
record, will have strong opposi
lion in Saturday’s meet. But. as
Coach Werner said. “Gehrdes. for
ny money, is one of the best
. rdlers in th e nation, and it will
jke more than just good opposi
lon to beat him.”
Relieved of double duty with
he return of Jerry Karver to
;ual meet competition. Horace
■\shenfelter can devote his time
o his specialty, the two-mile run.
