PAGE FOUR Nine Drops 4-3 Tilt to Pitt, Faces Bisons at Home Today Opening a five game home stand, the Lion baseballers meet Bucknell University at New Beaver Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The game is a replay of last Wednesday's postponed contest. Sy Miller, righthand speedball artist, is Bedenk's probable mound choice. Either sophomore Art Raynor or fastballer Hal Swan son is expected to start for the Bisons. Over the weekend the Lions split a pair of contests with the Uni- Linksmen Garner Second Straight The Nittany linksmen made it two wins in as many starts by defeating Georgetown, 9-0, on the home course Saturday afternoon. It was the second loss in a row at the hands a the Blue and White for the Washingtonians, the Hoyas having lost Friday's match to Rutherford's proteges by a 6-3 count. Four scores of 71, one over par, Were turned in for the winners by Captain Don Hart, Jerry Smith, Ramon Peterson and Joe Boyle. Charles McCarthy was best scorer fur Georgetown with a 73. The day was near perfect in compa:ison with Friday's cold, blustery weather and enabled spectators to follow the match in comfort. Players noted the absence of a strong wind that previously blew their drives back in their faces. Next match before ' the Lions leave for the Eastern Intercolle giate Golf Association semi-finals at Pittsburgh May 7-8 will find the Nittanymen playing By &knell at Lewisburg this afternoon. Three lettermen, Don Mont gomery of BelLfonte, Norman Slick and Joe Spicer, all playing their third year for Bucknell, form the nucleus of Coach Harold Evans' sextet. The Bisons will also furnish the opposition when the local links men play their final home match May 19. Saturday's scoring: Don Hart defeated Ray Larrow, 3 and 2.

Southpaw Bill Benyish won his first encounter of the season Fri day after relieving starter Bob Gehrett in the second. The Pan thers staged a five run uprising in that frame to chase Gehrett. It was the first time the big righthander had been sent' to the showers since the middle of last season. The Blue and white diamond men clinched the contest with six tallies in the eighth ,and two more in the ninth frame. The Pittsburghers snapped Gehrett's six game winning ' streak on Satur day when they pushed across a run with nobody out in the last half of the elev enth inning to nose out the Be denkmen 4-3. Daryl Calder, BENYISH who dropped a 2-1 decision to the Lion right hander her e April 16, gained sweet revenge as he went all the way, limiting the Nittanyites to six hits over the distance.

STATE COLLEGE, PETINSYLVAITIk Team Wins NAAU Titi Bonsai!, Sorensen Shine (Continued from page 0n9,) Ray Sorensen, the Lion's other all-around star, crashed the eight-man Olympic squad with Bonsall by finishing fifth with 305.8 all-around points. In his specialty—calisthenics, the Nittany captain was edged by Temple's Bob Stout, who finished ninth, just short of qualifying for the Olympic team. Gene Wettstone, 34-year-old Blue and White coach, received a coveted national honor when he was nominated as coach of the Men's Olympic team. He is secretary of the Olyrnplc Gymnastic Committee, is a former all-around champion in the Mid west, and has coached Lion teams to five Eastern championships, one national col legiate title and three NAAU togas since 1938. His appoint ment, as well as those of the eight all-around win ners, must be for mally approved later by the General United BONSALL States Olympic Committee. Steve Greene, foremost side horse artist, edged out last year's champ, Frank Cumiskey,' to win the National AAU crown and wind up a brilliant defeat-less college career. In the rings, Greene's com pulsory exercise was judged me diocre, but he staged a sensational optional performance that prompt ed a tremendous ovation and earn ed him the top optional score. He finished eighth in the rings. Ex-Nittanyman Louis Bordo, Philadelphia Turners, captured sixth place in the all-around com petition and thus won a berth on Uncle Sam's Olympic squad. Bordo was Eastern parallel bars title-holder and third-place NAAU all-around contender in 1943, when he led State to an undefeated sea son and the NAAU championship.

The College's National AAU team climaxed an unprecedented tliple victory for the Blue and White. Undefeated in three years, the Lions earned the Eastern In tercollegiate and National Inter collegiate team titles this year. Bonsall, a former tumbling cheerleader, contributed 16 of the Lions' 36 points. One of his best performances took place on the long horse, which is not practiced in Eastern collegiate competition. He gained five team points for his all-around score, added four for third place on the long horse, three for fourth in the rings and two each for fifths in free calis thenics and horizontal bar.

Gym Shorts Ready to Quit Two topnotch United States gymnasts, Frank Cumiskey and Vince D'Autorio, were at a low ebb mentally at 9 o'clock Satur day night. In events staged prior to that hour, they had not fared well. They were ready to quit. A former rings champion and gym official for many years, George Gulack, knew they were not performing up to par. Gulack furnished the necessary impetus which drove Cumiskey to the task of making Uncle Sam's Olympic team. As a result, the two stars sparkled for .the rest of the night and finished third and eighth, respectively, in the all-around competition. Thus, both made the team. D'Autorio's case smacks of al most super-human effort, since he competed all day with a painful spinal dislocation. e , . 1, 1 A Big Crowd About 5500 fans witnessed the eight - hour gymnastic spectacle in Rec Hall Saturday afternoon TUESDAY, MAY 4, ziew
