FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1949 State Netmen, Golfers Battle Colgate Squads Penn State's tennis and golf teams play host to Colgate tomor row on the home grounds. After losing the season opener at Buck nell, the netmen are seeking their first victory, while the golfers will aim for win number three against one loss. Tennis Coach Sherm Fogg, commenting on Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Bisons, said, "Bucknell is vastly improved over last year, but the match was close most of the time and could have gone our way. On the whole, our boys lived up to expectations" The Red Raider netmen come here with a record of two wins and one tie. They opered their season at North Carolina State late in March and came away with a 3-3 tie when rain washed out the match. - - . They crushed American U. 9-0, the • next time out, but played just one of the next three sched uled' matches. Tilts with Balti more Loyola and Maryland were rained out, and the Raiders measured Georgetown, 6 1 / 4 -2 1 / 2 , in the third contest. On the other hand, Colgate'.; golfers, who oppose Lion Coach Bob Rutherford's linksmen on the College course, are just now opening their nine-meet slate. PiKA's Garner Handball Title If Sigma Nu fails this season to win the all-year intramural ath letic crown for the second su cessive year, there's only one house to blame—Pi Kappa Alpha. And one man especially. Elwood Petchel, will bear the brunt of the Sigma Nu disfavor. Petchel, whose sharp passing and nifty ball-handling gave his mates the impetus needed to knock Sigma Nu out of the bas ketball finals, was back again Monday night. Socking hard with his sidekick, Art Oberg, clicking beside him, Petchel battled Pi Kappa Alpha into the handball doub l e s championship over Sigma Nu. The Oberg-Petchel combina tion pummeled the walls for. a 21-15, 21-13 victory over Joe Colone and Henry Mattern on the Rec Hall four-wall courts. The winning duo, after pasting the apple for a quick first-game win, found the going tougher in the early moments of the second. But after the hard-working pairs passed the ten-count point, the PiKA's shook out into the lead and, won going away. Colone and Mattern faltered, missing serve-returns and failing to dig out low bounders in the forecourt. Petchel and Oberg chalked up five straight victories on the road to the title and ended a four game winning streak of the Sigma Nu combo.

The Lions, one of 500 colleges and high schools participating in the Relays, will be out to defend their four-mile relay title and attempt to add more laurels. Penn State has captured the four-mile test for the past two years. Leading the Lions in their quest of a third straight victory will be Horace Ashenfelter, IC-4A two-mile champ, who has been on both previous winners. A member of last year's quartet, Mitch Williams, will also be back for another session. Bob Free bairn and Bill Ashenfelter, two newcomers will round out the foursome. Hopes for a Nittany victory in the two-mile relay will rest with Paul Koch, Bob Auman, Bob Par sons and John McCall. Koch, Parsons and McCall finished in the first three positions at last Saturday's meet at Annapolis in the 880-yard sprint, the distance they will have to run in the two mile relay. MEDLEY Jim Gehrdes, Wil Lancaster, Bill Lockhart and George Thomas will team up to run the 440 and 880-yard sprint medleys. Lan caster won double victories Saturday and Gehrdes is con sidered by Coach Werner to be a stand-out sprinter in addition to his hurdle magic. In addition to their relay work, Gehrdes, Lancaster and Horace Ashenfelter will compete in in dividual events. Gehrdes will seek victory in the invitational 120-yard hurdles. Lancaster will run in the in vitational 100-yard dash an d Ashenfelter will compete in the two-mile race along with John St. Clair. Other individual performers for the Lions at the two-day meet will be Larry Gerwig, javelin tosser; Bill Reynolds, broad jump; Vi c Fritts, high jump; Doug Shearer, shot put; Buck Moyer, discus, and Chuck Drazenovich who will also hurl the shotput. All but Reynolds and Drazen ovich won their specialities against Penn and Navy Satur day and both placed, Reynolds finishing second and Drazenovich fourth. Bob Bour, veteran distance run ner, is making the trip to the Quaker City as a utility man and possibility will see action in the distance medley. Time trials were held Tuesday on New eßaver Field to deter mine who should make the trip. THE SHOW YOU'VE ASKED FOR ! "JOHN LOVES MARY" Stage and Screen Hit.

Eugene C. Bischoff, director of intramural athletics. an nounced that date as the sched uled eild of first-round compe tition. Despite the fact that it was a poor day for running the trials provided some interesting side lights. The work of Bill Borck, who in running the mile in 4:26 showed great improvement over previous performances, wa s especially noteworthy. Another feature vms the running of Bob Giron, soph omore, who won himself a place on the sprint relay team and then had to withdraw because of an injured leg. He is expected back in action in time for next week's meet with Colgate at Hamilton. New York. Continued from page four Bob Higgins. He immediately was molded for a wingbaek position along with Larry Cooney. "We had a great team that year," Rip proclaims now. "A strong Navy team had handed us our only loss until Michigan State upset us, 33-0. "That was as bad as that Pitt upset last year. We were favored and, I think, had Joe Tepsic played we could have beaten them." At the outset of the 1946 season Ripper turned his ankle and missed the first three games, then played in the next three until the 19-16 Michigan State loss. In that game he again injured his ankle and team physician 'Doc' Griess advised him to turn in his uniform for the year. Hard luck again struck Rip during the Cotton Bowl year when. shortly before the season opened, he threw a block on Center "Shag" Wolosky and was out for the year with a torn cartilage in the knee. Last year he participated in every game although mostly on the defense. His best offensive effort occurred during the "Slaughter on New Beaver Field," against Zemple, when he was on the receiving end of one of Vince O'Bara's touchdown aerials. As for the outlook of next season, Rip states: "We'll have a very good first team but our replacements are questionable. It'll be hard to replace Sambo (Tamburo). He's the hardest working, hardest blocking, hardest tackling ball player I ever saw. He's tops." A senior now, Rip hopes to put his education in the Phys Ed school to good use when he starts his search for a coaching job this fall. He hopes to land a coaching job at his old Alma Mater, North Catholic of Pittsburgh. Right now Rip's athletic talents are put to good use on the golf course. Teaming up with Larry Cooney, the duo won a case of `coke' recently from two other gridders, John Simon and Elwood Petchel. The outcome of the match still is the topic of conversation at the Football House. Lion track mentor, Chick Wer ner, says his star hurdler, Jim ! Gehrdes, also is a top-flight sprinter.

(This aplies to independent corn li3etition only.) The Nittany Realm '45 TEAM TAMBURO Geopietown University invades the New Beaver Field diamond inday for the first of a two-game series with Coach Joe Bedenk's Blue and White batsmen. (Thine time is 4 p.m. Peon State will be after win number four. In a two-game road trip to Rutgers and Lafayette, the Lions broke even by bowing, 6-2, to Rutgers for their first loss. and licking Lafayette by a 5-2 tally. Colch Bedenk will probably call on slim Cy Miller to throw gaainst the Hoyas. The righthand ed twirler lost his first contests at Rutgers, but had previously chalked up a win at Penn's ex pense. IM Entries--- Continued from page four track events for both fraternity and independent men will be run off at. 6:30 p. m., May 16. Times will be recorded on the first three finishers in each heat: however, only the six low times will qualify for the finals. This leaves open the possibility that a man may win his heat yet not enter the finals if his winning time is not among the six lowest. High jump, broad jump and shot-put competition will be run off 'at 6:30 p. m., Ms i 17, with the finals in the running events coining at 6:30 p. m., May 18.

"I'll probably start Miller," Coach Bedenk said. "He's the foundation of our staff, and we've got to get him going." Bedenk plans to stick to his 'winning" lineup, i. e., the team that defeated Lafayette. Behind the platter will be Clarence 'Buzz' Buss, with the Nittanies' leading clouter, Dick Wertz at first. Gene Solomon at second, Captain Hal Hackman at stortstop and Bill Tegtmeyer at third round out the infield. Hen Albright, Bill Ondick and big Stan Laganosky comprise the starting outfield, with lefty Owen Daugherty available for possible duty in right field. Thus far, the Lions have proven pretty anemic at bat, Bedenk put his charges through hitting drills yesterday afternoon in prepara tion for the visit of the Washing ton, D. C., diamondmen. Most surprising feature of this week's roadtrip was the pitching of ex-outfilder Al Tkac in the Lafayette clash. Tkac gave up but six hits and fanned five in col laring his initial victory. Not a man reached second base until the eighth inning, when the Leopards countered their only scores.
