PAGE EOT.fR Lion Golfers Cop Regional EIGA Title Classy Orange Attack Rips Lion Lacrossers Syracuse Takes 12-7 Win As Nittanites Lose 4th By way of‘ proving they aren’t the dainty wafers their name might imply, Syracuse’s Saltine Warriors lacrosse team smashed through the Penn State defense line for 12 goals to conquer the Lion stickmen 12-7 Saturday afternoon on New Beaver field. This game made possible the continuation of two streaks. For the Orange it niched an other step in the direction of Na tional lacrosse championship play, as its stickmen came through with their sixth straight win this sea son. On the other hand, State’s crosse bearers were inflicted their fourth consecutive loss. MIDFIELD TRIO Unhappily for Penn State, the Nittany Lions found the highly regarded midfield combination of Syracuse deserving of all argu ments tor All-American honors. Albeit the headsup State defense managing to keep the out-of state invaders from scoring their average 17 goa's per game, it was purely a case of being outfought and outmaneuvered by the classy Orange team. Although the score would indi cate differently, the Lions looked better than in previous home games and it was no disgrace to go down before the top ranked team in the New York State area. State actually outplayed its guests the first and third periods, but the Syracuse midfield combin ation of Bill Fu'ler, George Cody and Bill Archbold, plus some han-. dy assistance from substitute Warren Hyde, turned the tide in the Orange favor the second and final periods. Ed Belfield and Bob Louis each scored two goals for the Lions with Ed Finley and Captain Rog Nestor looking good on both of fense and defense. ARCHBOLD Archbo'd, making an all out bid for All-American mention was red-hot for the Warriors as he fired four goals into the Nittany nets. Hyde, with three points apd Cody, with two, followed him in the scoring column. Handling the ball in classy fashion in front of the State net, Fuller and Cody gave the sma*l crowd an afternoon of thrills with their stickhandling and generalship. Not to be outdone by the scor ers, Orange goa'ie, Sonny Mer rit, flashed a well nigh impreg nable defense at the State at tackers. Both teams scoring in alter nate sequence, the first period wound up a surprising 3-3 dead lock. Nestor and Belfield twice sandwiched in goals between markers by Hyde, Fuller and Mahaney.
