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.
Penn State's Jayvee corps was
upended, 11-0, by Navy's junior

was the first meet.
"The outstanding points from a
coach's view," Werner said, "were
the miles turned in by Bob Free

the showing of Chuck Drazeno
vich in the shotput. Freebairn
and Ashenfelter are both com

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
