WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1948 Gehrett For Duquesne Tilt The Nittany Lion diamond team closes out its current home stand, battling the Duquesne Dukes at New Beaver Field, 4 o'clock this afternoon. Bespectacled righthander Bob Gehrett, originally slated to go to the mound in Saturday's postponed double bill with Syracuse, s expected to draw the starting assignment for today's contest. Although the weatherman hasn't treated the Lions too well this year, the prediction is fair skies and warm weather for this afternoon's encounter, Gehrett will be seeking his fourth win of the season as against only one defeat. That loss was suffered May 1 when the Pan thers dealt him a 4-3 decision in 11 innings. For the Blue and White base bailers it will be a quest for vic tory number eight. The seasons record thus far is seven triumphg and two setbacks. DUKES' RECORD The Pittsburghers boast an im pressive record, having suffered but two losses so far this season. One of these defeats, a 9-3 deci sion, was inflicted by the Mary land Terrapins at Pittsburgh Thursday. Sunday afternoon the Dukes tripped Leechburg, 6-1, to move back into the victory column. Following this afternoon's af fair with the Steel City nine, the Bedenkmen leave for Philadel phia and Villanova for a Friday tilt. The Bedenkmen will battle Navy the following day at An napolis. Both the Naval Academy and Villanova boast of top-notch base ball teams, and these two clubs may provide the Nittanyites with their stiffest opposition of the year. The Middies, in particular, are generally rated one of the top clubs in the East. CY MILLER Speedball artist Cy Miller will probably unveil his wares against Villanova. The tall right hander shut out Bucknell in his last start, allowing only two scratch singles. Both ends of Saturday's double header were cancelled just before game time because of wet grounds and threatening weather. Be cause of schedule difficulties the games will not be rescheduled. Up until 1:30 there were hopes the bargain bill might be staged, but the muddy condition of the field convinced both Coach Bedenk and the Orange mentor that play on the water soaked diamond was out of the question. The cancellations marked the fourth and fifth times the Lions have been rained out this year. As the Lions prepare to embark on their trio of meetings on for eign soil, pitching worries con tinue to plague Lion mentor Joe Bedenk. Jim Masticola, whose arm went bad early in the season, has fail ed to respond to treatment and may be through for the year.
