poor track condition , „ the results,
of the Penn State track team's
time trials, held Saturday on New

Lacrosse Team Invades Penn
For Opening '49 Encounter
Penn State's 37th uninterrupted season of lacrosse will be writ
ten into the record books tomorrow afternoon when the Nittany
Lions open their 1949 campaign against Penn at Philadelphia.
Dating in spurts from 1913 (State's first year in the intercollegi
ate ranks) the records show a Penn State bulge of nine games to six
over the Quakers. A glance
through past-year scores indicates
a traditional hard-fought low
scoring_ contest in the brew.
One advantage in favor of the
Philadelphians—in addition to
playing, on their home field—
is that they already have copped
four games this year.

BERNARDO
Army's Pete Monfore lost in
the finals to Miami's Carl Ber

Yale. In one of its early games
Penn knocked off Harvard, 8-7.
Last year State defeated its East
ern Pennsylvania rival, 13-4, at
Philadelphia as the Nittanymen
rolled on to a seven and three
season.
According to Nick Thiel, head
lacrosse mentor, Penn has po
tentially a much stronger team
this year than in 1948.
Basing its attack around a
group of varsity holdovers, Penn
also features an outstanding crop
o f sophomore rookies, several
of whom have earned recogni
tion while cavorting with Balti
more Prep School teams.
The State stickmen, in an
ticipation of the Quaker encount
er, held their final big scrimmage
Saturday. They played an intra
squad varsity tilt and followed
up with a tussle between last
year's Jayvees and the present
crop of Jayvee stickwielders.
Among the players making the
trip to Philly tomorrow, Thiel
plans to start John Nehoda at
goalie with Dick Hannah as a
replacement.
Iry Smith, Dean Kissell and
John Hayes will open in the close

Gillooley, a tall, high - stepping
backfield newcomer, chalked up
the Dukes' best gains from
scrimmage, also adding a 55-yard
punt return in the first quarter.
Assistant Lion Coach Earle
Edwards, using all the men in
his command outside of last sea
son's returning veterans, called
the session satisfactory and
thought it proved worthwhile to
both squads. The Lions ran from
their variated single-wing forma
tion.
Following the example used in
intra-squad scrimmage s, the
teams eliminated point - after
touchdown tries and kickoffs.
After the touchdowns, the de
fensive team put the ball in play
on its own 40-yard line.
Edwards used his most promis
ing reserves through the first
two periods, put in third-string
ers for the middle session, and
came back with the starters for

In addition to the pitching post,

Monogram winners Dick

three newcomers will comprise
the outfield combination. Hen Al

umpire yells "Play ball."
Bedenk's 1948 unit rolled to a
