Gene Solomon, Lion second baseman, walked in the last half of
the ninth inning, &ming in Al Tkac with the winning run, as Bob
Gehrett set the Pitt Panthers down with two hits to cop a close 2-1
victory tor the Lions yesterday afternoon.
Solomon's walk, the third of the inning, climaxed a tight pitch

who gave up only four safeties.

Not until the EMI inning did

neither Calder nor Roslieki could

Golfers Launch
Practice Rounds
Coach Bob Rutherford was
finally able to look over this
year's crop of golfer s after the
sunshine had followed the long
intermission caused by the un
usually heavy downpour o f recent
daps.
The fact that the pins were just
put into the cups yesterday at
tests to the meager amount of
practice the boys have been able
to put in.
Rutherford's golfers were con
fined to hitting drills Thursday
and putting drills yesterday.
Coach Rutherford is pinning
this season's hopes on returning
lettermen Don Hart, Jack Har
per, Bob Klein, Alan Hack, Joe
Boyle, Ramon Peterson, Jim No
ble and Gerry Smith. Don Hart
succeeded Jack Harper as captain
of the squad.
With opening day less than two
weeks away, increased activity
will be called for in order to have
the team in shape for its first
match with Bucknell, April 30.

innings, the Bedenkmen threat
ened to score, but both times Lio n
batters flailed to deliver the vital
hit in the clutch.
Wertz opened the ninth inning
by lif4ng an easy fly to Barnes
near second. Snyder then fum
bled Tkac's easy roller, allowing
him to reach first. At this point
Calder bore down and forced Ho
gan to strike out, but the Pitt fast
ball artist then developed a sud
den streak of wildness.
With Holler at bat plats; umpire
Howard Gair called a balk which
enabled Tkac to go to second.
Calder then walked Holer and
Gehrett on eight straight pitches.
With the count three and nothing
on Solomon, relief hurler Rudy,
Hudec was called in from the I
bullpen.
Hudec's first pitch was a ball,
forcing Tkac acmes with the ru n

Vole Evening Meal
For Athletic Teams
A "late meal" plan to encourage
I athletes with late afternoon class
es to participate m varsity sports
has been put into effect this week
by the College Athletic Associa
tion, said Harold R. Gilbert, grad
uate manager of athletics.
"The College's accelerated pro
gram necessitated this action,"
said Mr. Gilbert. "With many of
the men who are out for Spring
sports having classes until 5
o'clock, they often cut short or
miss practices in order to eat
in their dorm or fraternity at the
regular time.
"Under this new system," he
continued, "the boys can eat their
meal at the end of the practice
period in the Nittany Dormitory
dining hall."
Four varsity sports are affected
by this new action, track, base
ball, tennis and lacrosse.
"There is another advantage to
this system," remarked Gilbert.
"When the members of a team are
out of town for a game, the part of
the squad that does not make the
traveling team does not eat a late
meal that day. This encourages
the athlete to make the grade in
his particular sport."
"In the three days that the
system has been in operation it
has proven very successful," he
concluded, "and in all probability
it will be carried over to the Fall
sports program next semester."

Olympic Gym Chatter
"When the country's best gymnasts come to Roc Hall May 1,
Olympic berths for the London Games in July will be determined
only by the scores of men who compete in six events—side horse,
calisthenics, long horse vaulting, parallel bars, horizontal bars
and rings."
With this statement, Lion Coach Gene Wettstone solved a
prickly puzzle in the mind of many a gym fan. He added, "Any
competitor who wins a single gymnastic event wins a National
Amateur Union championship. He has no chance to be a United
States Olympic candidate unless he enters each of the six Olym
pic events."

Olympic candidates chosen will be
the first eight scorers in an expected SORENSEN
field of 30 all-around competitors.
Among collegiate all-around stars, the Lions' Ray Sorense and
Temple's Bob Stout are given the
best chance to crack the eight
man fold. Bill Bonsall trails
closely.
This trio would be air-tight bets
to make the grade if selection of
performers were limited to col
legiate gymnasts. But a host of
ex.- and non-colegiate stars will
produce a nip and tuck battle in
Rec Hall.
A non-Olympic event which
promises an intense contest is the
20-foot rope climb. Outstanding
contenders from all parts of the
country may push Garvin Smith,
last year's champ, to a new NAAU
record. Hailing from Los Angeles
City College, Smith last year set
the present national mark of 3.4
seconds.

paratus—a take-off from the sus
pended net of trapeze performers
—is believed to be as old as other
pieces of gym apparatus.
Trampoline performances have
prime spectator appeal as the
gymnasts execute dazzling flips,
twists and turns while bouncing
on the taut canvas net. Entries
for this popular event have
reached such proportions that the
number of contenders may be
limited, Coach Wettstone said.
Always a highlight in the
NAATJ's is tumbling, which will
occupy the coveted last position
in the May 1 evening program.
The Rec Hall crowd will marvel
