"TOR A BETTER PENN STATE"
VOLUME 49-NUMBER 59
Miller Twirls 6-Hitter;
Downs Gettysburg 4-1
With fastballer Cy Miller effectively scattering six hits, Penn
State's baseball nine garnered its sixth win in seven starts yester
day afternoon, decisioning a visiting Gettysburg contingent by a
4-1 score on the New Beaver Field diamond. It was also the Lions'
fourth consecutive win.
Miller, who captured his third win of the hill, lost his shut
out with one away in the ninth
ining. The Bullets' shortstop,
rangy Ray Novak, clocked a triple
down the rightfield line, and
scored when Miller wild-pitched.
Nine Strikeouts
Miller blazed his fastball past
the first ten Gettysburg batters
before he walked Tony Cervino
in the fourth. He struck out the
side in the first inning, and went
on to rack up nine victims via
the fanning route.
Four of the loser's six hits
were to right field as Miller fog
ged his offerings wickedly to the
plate, and the batters swung late.
Gettysburg did not get a hit un
til two were down in the sixth,
when Dick Wieand blooped a
single to right.
The Nittanies broke up a score
less pitching duel between Miller
and Ken Houtz in the fourth
frame when they tallied two runs
on three hits. Stan Laganosky
doubled to rikht field, Dick Wertz
walked, and Bill Ondick advanc
ed both runners with a sacrifice
bunt.
Bill Tegtmeyer ripped a double
to left and both runners scored.
Tegtmeyer was caught in an at
tempted steal and Clarence Buss
was picked off first after singling
to end the inning.
Miller singled between short
and third in the fifth ining, but
was forced g r t second on Hen Al
bright's grounder to John Jone 7.
Albright went to third on Gene
Solomon's bingle to right and tal
lied on Captain Hal Hackman's
roller to short.
Hackman crossed the plate in
the eighth with the Lions' final
score. He singled, stole, second,
moved to third on catcher Walt
Kirker's over-throw, and came
home when Laganosky's roller
was bobbled by Novak at short.
Coach Joe Bedenk's charges

publicity innovation were born.

"Activities are quite worth

"They enable students to realize
just what they can or can't do.
They give everyone a chance to
assume responsibility and create
school spirit by doing things with

themselves.
"In order to get anywhere in
