2317,4 WAY, APRIL 22, 1048 Rain Postpones Tennis Inaugural Although rain washed out its opening game against Bucknell yesterday, the Blue and White tennis team utilized the afternoon for an extra day's practice to Prepare for Saturday's inaugural against Cornell. The Foggmen were prepared to drive to LewiSburg to vie against the Bisons yesterday when word was received at Rec Hall that the game would have to be postponed until next Wednesday due to heavy rainfril in that vicinity. . Probable starters in Saturday's flame are Herb Beckhard, Captain Bob Tuttle, Del Het Dick Green awalt. Al Sopp, Ralph Peters, Frank Pessalano, George Kline, Bob Ogden and Dave Miller. Team positions were chosen by Coadi Sherman Fogg on the basis of infra-squad tournaments earlier in the season. Dust on the Diamond Excellent control was one of the prime reasons why Jinn Blasti colt' was able to handcuff Adubdenherg batters Tuesday, and limit the Mules to fonr hits. Ed Holler, who caught Tuesday's ball game, said: "He put every pdtch right in the target I gave him. I don't think he grooved more than poor pitches all day." Mastic*la allowed only one hit until the sixth inning, and the runner waa subsequently forced on the front end of a double play. The sophomore right . hander continually kept in front of the Cardinal and Grey batters. He struck out six and walked only two battens. One of these free passes was given up in the top half of the ninth after a long eighth inning had allowed the Lion hurler to get oold. Touted as a veteran team load ed with good hitters, Muhlenberg was never in the contest after the second inning. The show of power put on by the home team wa s the best seen at New Beaver Field this season. Included in the 145-hit' barrage were three doubles and a: triple. The score was held to le runs only because the Lions left 12 runners stranded on the base paths. Every member of the team hit safely at least once except second baseman Gene Solomon. Solomon had a tough day at the plate, getting a walk cwt of six tripe, and only driving the ball out of the infield once, Major League Results AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Results Detroit 4, Chicago 3 Washington 6, New York 3 Only games scheduled.

Driving Down JACK HARPER II the Fairways Jack Harper 11, captain of the 1047 Blue and White golf team, is a firm believer in starting early. That, plus the guidance of his father, he believes is the factor to which he owes his success. Jack's start in golf goes back to the time when he was a wee tot following his clad around the links. This start gave him the jump on many other future golfers, and at the advanced a ge of 15, he won the 2nd flight of the Williamsport Invitation Tournament. Top man in the Berkshire Invitation Tourney at the age of 15, runner-up in the PIAA finals for two years, were but a few of the early honors won by Jack. His most trying moment occurred at the Eastern Amateur Tournament when he was 15. He was par. for 9 holes, and was shooting one of his best games. The trouble was his opponent set a new record for the course, shooting a six under par for the first nine holes, and going on to win the tourney. At the other end of the scale is the hole in one he made at Pottstown's Hill School in 1042. LL was his biggest thrill and made up somewhat for his Loss at the Eastern Amateur Tourney. Since 1040 Harper has won the Blairinont Invi tation Tournament, the Central County Tourna ment in 1045, 1946 and 1947, and took part in the Fred Waring Invitation Tourney at Shawnee-on the-Delaware. Harper played for Washington and Lee in the National Intercollegiate Tournament at Princeton in 1946 and for Penn State at Michigan in 1947. He hopes he will be able to attend this year's tourney which is to be held at Stanford. At the moment, he's readying for his final year of intercollegiate competition. Jack married Mary Lawther, daughter of I:4ls ketball coach John Lawther, last February, and, although he is settled in that respect, his plans for the future are not certain. He would like to secure a position in some way connected with golf, but so far has not made any definite plans, Nittany Display Coach Bob Higgins' gricklers, who last season won fame by spec tacular blocks, runs and catches, have now traded their shoulder pads and thigh pads for baseball gloves and lacrosse sticks. John Nolan and John Potsklan, co-captains of last season's Nit tany grid eleven, are now making headlines in Lacrosse and baseball, respectively. Nolan, a second team all-American lacrosseman in 1046, leads the Thielmen's scoring pa rade with 1 goals. CENTERFIELDER Potsklan, playing centerfield for the Bedenkmen, has bcc 4 a valuable cog in the Lions' batting offense to date. Other footballers on the diamond squad are "Shag" Wolosky and Ray Ulinski. Big John Finley, a guard on last season's grid juggernaut, and Tom Smith, a tackle on the same team, are spearheading the stick men's attack this season.
