TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1948 Lion Nine Closes With Owls, W&J Aiming for their third consecutive baseball win, the ,second on home soil, the Lions meet Temple University at New Beaver Field tomorrow afternoon. Cy Miller, fastball righthander will be on the hill for the Nit tany nine, while either Cunningham or Shreiner is expected to dart for the visitors. The Lions close out the 1948 diamond season with single games Friday and Saturday against Washington and Jefferson on the home field. The Blue and White baseballers slugged out a 12-3 victory over Colgate Saturday afternoon to open their final four-game home stand on a sweet note. Combing three Red Raider hurl ers for 11 safeties and aided by six enemy errors, the Lions jump ed off to a seven-run lead in the first two innings and went on to notch their tenth win in 14 starts. WINS FIFTH Bob Gehrett opened on the mound for the victors and limited Colgate to three hits to record his fifth win of the season against two losses. Cline started the game for the Raiders but wildness and his teammates' errors combined to give the College nine a two-run lead in the initial frame and when Stark tripled in the second inning to score Hackman who had walk ed, Clark relieved him on the hill. Cline, however, was charged with the loss. Don Stark, the Nittanyites' lead ing hitter, and Tom Hogan, led the local club's attack, each of them slashing a triple and single. The Lions sewed up the game by scoring two tallies in the first inning and five more in the sec ond. Two walks and a single were converted into two markers in the last of the first. Solomon walked, went to third on Hackman's single, and came home on a wild pitch by Cline. Hackman scored on a passed ball by Pileckas. A single, double, triple, two walks and two errors accounted for five more markers in the sec ond frame. LIONS TALLY The home team scored a trio of runs in the sixth and two in the bottom half of the eighth to clinch the win. With the aid of errors by Hogan and Holler, the visitors scored two markers in the top half of the fourth, and added another in the fifth when they bunched two sin gles, a walk and a hit batsman. After the fifth frame Gehrett held Colgate scoreless, permitting only three more hits, singles by Basfelt in the sixth and Bergelt in the seventh, and a double by Rice in the top half of the ninth. Rice, first sacker for the Red Raiders, paced the visitors in hit ting, slapping a double and single in four trips to the plate. Bergelt hit Gehrett's offerings for a pair of singles.

Gehrdes A third Nit tany runner, Jim Gehrdes, will be striving for that top rung, but he will have to by-pass the colle giate competition. Since "Galloping Jim" trans ferred from Drake last year, he will be ineligible to compete in the IC or NC tournaments. At the NAAII trials the speedy hurdler will have to show his wares against Ed Dugger of Dayton and Harrison Dillard of Baldwin Wal lace.

Wernermen Vie For IC4-A Title Although passing final exams will be the major problem foe most students Thursday and Friday, about ten trackmen will worry about passing runners on the 28th and 29th when the Wernermen travel to Boston and attempt to capture the Intercollegiate 4-A title. The cinder Lions placed third in the tourney last year with Jerry Karver winning the mile, Curt Stone copping the two-mile and Horace Ashenfelter placing second, Chuck Willing placing sec- and in the pole vault and Dave Pipcus taking a third in the dis cus throw. The Nittany runners finished their season in high gear last weekend when the "Karverless" team annihilated Colgate, 98-28, while Captain Karver won the. Los Angeles Relay 1500 meter run in 3:53.5.

Jack Schulze, Col gate, won the 100-yard dash in a wind-assisted 9.5 and then took the 220-yard dash in 21 seconds. Although Karver was missing, his understudies, Lou Nicastro, Bob Auman and Ted Hissey, car ried on his winning pace by sweeping the mile event. The fastest half-mile race of the home season was run by Bill Shuman Saturday with Mitch Williams pacing him.
