Between the Lions
If the Lion lacrosse team gets back o r , the right side of the
ledger by beating Colgate this afternoon, it will mark one of the
most successful seasons that Coach Nick Thiel has enjoyed since
he took over the coaching reins of the stick game at the College.
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.
