The Blue and White stickmen started the season off with a bang and racked up five straight victories before bowing to Navy. Despite this loss and a subsequent defeat at the hands of the oth er service academy, Army, and the fact that John Finley turned out. to be the only "mudder" in the quagmire at Syracuse, the Thielmen have managed to salvage a respectable season. Today, the Nittany lacrossemen will be seeking to end a three week win famine. The last time the Lions turned in a victory was on April 30, when they copped win number five from the Loyola College Greyhounds. The next day, Navy's powerful forces put the first blotch on the 1948 record. Injuries have affected the Thielmen all season. Letterman Rog Nestor received a broken ankle in a practice scrimmage before the opening game, and Jim Wolf suffered a shoulder separation in the Drexel encounter—the season's lid-lifter. This week it was learned that Tom Smith has a broken hand. Smith participated in the Syracuse and Army games with the injury, but did not realize it was so serious. Coach Thiel stated before the early season weekend games with Drexel and Penn that "We should win, but if we don't it's going to be a tough spring." The Lions won, but it still has been a tough and gruelling spring. However, the Blue and White stickmen have displayed many brilliant moments throughout the season, and can be ranked with some of the best lacrosse outfits in the nation. Today, the Thielmeo hope to end the season with their sixth win on the record books. And for the six varsity members who graduate next month—Captain Bill Hollenbach, Nolan, Lorenz, Locotos, McCleary and John Whitaker—it will be a fitting climax to a victorious season.
