TUESDAY. APBIT, 2(i. 1949 Loyola Hands Stickmen Second Setback, 6-4 A combination of Loyola college and an unsympathetic weather man put a clammy damper on Penn State's hopes for a successful home opening of its baseball and lacrosse teams Saturday. The Baltimore Greyhounds surprised a cold, wet gallery of fans by rallying in the last half to edge out a 6-4 victory and record their first lacrosse win over a Sta of the scheduled baseball game between the Lions and Western Maryland. 3-2 RECORD The defeat gave the Lion stick men their second straight loss for a three-and-two record, and left Coach Nick Thiel looking for the answer to Saturday's oncoming battle with Navy. Rated one-two-three alongside Army and Johns Hopkins as the top lacrosse teams in the nation, the future admirals routed Mary land, Saturday, 14-3, in their latest win. Playing on State's New Beaver. field, Loyola, the guests from the capital of lacrosse, scored six con secutive goals to record their third win against two losses. Trailing, 4-0, with five minutes of the third period to play, the visitors scored four times to tie the game and then countered the clincher on a disputed shot by Red Carrozza in the last period. Bob Miller added an extra point for insurance. DISAPPOINTED Coach Thiel, expressing disap pointment over the showing of his team, said after the game, "It was just one of those things, 1 guess. Our team just crumbled the last half." Previously the Baltimore team had dropped three games to the Lions since the two teams' opening battle in 1946. John Finley and Ed Belfield each scored twice for the Nittany team. Big John, an outstanding tackle on Penn State's grid squad, scored his team's first two points. The first marker came on a cut-in pass from Belfield and the second as a result of an offen sive cut, the 6-foot, 2-inch 200- pounder scoring on a screen pass from Bob Louis. Belfield tallied botivof his shots in the third period, the first on a neat angle drill on a pass from Buddy Thomas. FINLEY SCORES Working on midfield defense, Finley captured a loose ball, eluded the Loyola defensemen on a field-length run and passed off to attackman Belfield in front of the goal for State's last tally.

John Bates and Al Porto took third and fourth in the same event. In commenting on the team's victory, Coach Werner pointed out that a majority of the boys gave the best performances of their careers, which, he added. is promising considering that it was the first meet. "The outstanding points from a coach's view," Werner said, "were the miles turned in by Bob Free bairn and Bill Ashenfelter, and the showing of Chuck Drazeno vich in the shotput. Freebairn and Ashenfelter are both com paratively inexperienced, while Drazenovich threw one toss over 45 feet but fouled. Chuck has made more progress in the last week than any other shotputter I've seen." "In addition, the feat of the three half-milers in finishing in the first three spots was great. It was the best performance for each of them. Doug Shearer's toss in the shotput was also the best he has ever done."
