may, APRIL 23, 1948 Between the Lions Lion lacrosse fans will have their last chance until May 23 to see Coach Nick Thiel's undefeated stickmen in action tomorrow afternoon. Cornell's lacrossers furnish the opposition in tomorrow's con test, which will be played on New Beaver Field at 2 o'clock. The Thielmen will be seeking their fourth straight victory, after successively whipping Drexel. Penn and Hobart. Lacrosse is a rapidly expanding game in the United States. Eight new lacrosse organizations in the middle-West and South have extended the sport to close to 40 member colleges. Its popu larity is evidenced by its spread from the Atlantic seaboard—its stronghold, to points in the South and mid-West. The stick game is still trying to live down its old reputation for roughness, but since the perfection of headgears and masks, statistics refute the roughness charge, according to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. Lacrosse is being played in many major colleges as a spring wort. Included in this list are such institutions as Colgate, Cornell, Duke, Dartmouth, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Loyola, Maryland, Penn State, Penn, Princeton, Rutgers, Syracuse, Army, Navy, Vir ginia and Yale. In addition, many smaller schools have inaugur ated the Indian game as a Major sport. Penn State is probably one of the only colleges in the nation playing lacrosse that has a squad of 70-odd men who never played the sport before entering college. This year, however, Coach Thiel has an exception in Eddie Belfield a sophomore, who played the game at Swarthmore High School. Coach Thiel began his "tour of duty" as lacrosse mentor at State in 1934, after playing at Syracuse in 1931, 1932 and 1933, and winning all-American recognition the latter two years. Each year, "Nick" brings the Lions into recognition as an Eastern lacrosse power despite working with inexperienced players. To make things more difficult, the - Nittany lacrosse schedule always contains several teams that are annually among the leaders in the country. Army and Navy, two of this season's opponents, are consider ed among the "Big Five" of lacrosse. Also included are such sturdy stick combinations as Johns Hopkins, Princeton and Mary land. In 1947, Hopkins copped the National collegiate crown, while the Wist Point Cadets took runner-up honors. For the first time in the history of the sport at State, a jayvee aggregation has been organized. The Lion cubs are scheduled to play Kenyon College, Oberlin and the Penn State Center at Swarthmore. The introduction of the game at the Swarthmore Center gives Thiel a bright outlook for next year. Approximately ninety per cent of the male students at the Center are planning to come to the College next year, and the year of experience they gain there will make them exceptional candidates for the 1949 varsity. Jarrin' John Nolan, co-captain of the Cotton Bowl pigskinners and second team lacrosse all-American in 1946; Tom Smith, and Joltin' John Finley were the gridders on the starting combination. Nolan heads the Lion lacrossers in scoring with 10 goals. Major League Results AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Results Philadelphia 5, Boston 8 Detroit 3, Chicago 2 Standings Team W L Pet. Team W L Pct..

Sigma Nu, leaders in the fight for IM athletic honors, had little trouble downing the Kappa Sigs in the first game 15-4. In the sec ond game the Kappa Sigs fought hard to force the match into three games but succumbed to the steady Sigma Nu attack 15-13. DU-A ran up a landslide score against Sigma Chi, winning both games by identical 15-4 scores. As the intramural badminton championship loomed closer, only four of the starting 61 contest ants remained in the elimination contest. Jerome Markowitz, Phi Sigma Delta, took his two games by a large margin as he outpointed Charles Sowash, Lambda Chi Alpha, 15-10, 15-4. In other games, Jim Worley, Sigma Nu, outlasted Harold How and Chi Phi, 15-12, 15-5, and Dan Pearson, DU, topped Dick Hoover, Theta Xi, 15-3, 15-10.
