PAGE SIX List Hurls One-Hitter In IMSoftball Race ATO'S Outlast DU'S 1-0; Beta's Take Disputed Tilt Frank List, Chi Phi’s sensational pitching star, is fast becoming the most talked-about softball tosser in intramural ranks. List, Tuesday night, racked up his second straight shutout vic tory, this time a one-hitter over Alpha Chi Rho, to give his mates a 7-0 win and a third-round berth in the fast-moving tourney. The Chi Phi’s jumped all over Bill Schoaf of the losers for three markers in the initial frame, add ed three in the fifth and another in the sixth for the easy win. ATO • DU But List’s superb mound job was overshadowed by the replay of the Alpha Tau Omega - Delta Upsilon battle deadlocked with a resounding Bill Nagom v homer last Friday night. Friday’s tilt ended in a 1-1 tie, and both squads fought nine more innings Tuesday before the ATO’s produced a game-winning single with the bases loaded. Bob Hicks was on the mound for the DU’s again, but this time his backers forgot to supply him with that single run that might have meant victory. Bob ITerr,tine of the victors matched him pitch for pitch, and the two might have continued in definitely if the ATO’s hadn’t socked Hicks for that run in the last of the ninth, for a 1-0 win.

HIGH SCHOOL STAR The Altoona-born Gehrdes has always been a track natural. During his sophomore year in high school he ran the century dash in 10.6 besides capturing District 6 high jump laurels. His hurdling talents became evident his junior year at Altoona. At the 1943 PIAA-track championships Jim came to his own. He ran the 220-low hurdles in 22.3 seconds and the 120-high hurdles in 14.8, thus setting two PIAA-schoolboy records. After a short “vacation with Uncle Sam,” Gehrdes returned to the hurdling wars. Wanting to matriculate in a midwestern school he enrolled at Drat' University, Des Moines, lowa. But after a ycai .; stay at Drake, Gehrdes returned to the Key stone State. “The Nose,” as his fraternity brothers commonly call him, then enrolled at the College. Drake’s loss was the Lions’ gain— tenfold at least. OUTDOOR PERFORMANCES His outdoor record shines. He garnered a triple win at Michigan State, winning the 100-yard dash, 120-vard high and 220-low hurdles. He set a Penn State record at the Middle Atlantic AAU’s in the high hurdles with a 14.2 clocking. Jim trains vigilantly to keep his weight down to the 150-pound mark, yet likes to eat, “most anything” as he puts it. But banana cream pie is still at the top on his list of favorites. Much of Gehrdes’ success can be traced back to the expert schooling of Nittany track coach Chick Werner. As Jim says, “I give Chick a ‘helluva’ lot of credit for making a pretty good hurdler out of a mediocre one.” By Bob Kotzbauer the sixth inning, Phi Gamma Del ta pummeled Pi Lambda Phi, 7-2, in another second-round contest, and the independent Ramblers finally found the weak-spot in the American Society of Civil Engin eers’ armor to sink the society, 6-3. Wednesday night, Beta Theta Pi reversed the tables on Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the game that the IM department ordered re played after Monday’s SAE win. The two teams that had pound ed out a total of 22 runs between them two nights before, fought to a 1-1 stalemate Wednesday, until in the last of the ninth, the Beta’s put together four hits for the winning run. The final score was 2-1. The Penn State Club and Cody Manor played off their Monday 6-6 tie, PSC pushing out into the lead in the second inning and holding the van all the way for a 5-2 win.

Nittany Lion golfer, shot an average of 69% in four matches in the Regional E.I.G.A. last weekend, his par and sub-par scores were nothing new to him. Little Tom has been working at the game since he was “old enough to hold a stick” and has learned to use it well enough to become a threat to par he is likely to encounter on any course. Being interrupted from a few Well-earned winks of sleep did not dim the good nature and quiet manner of the junior Lion sen sation, as he submitted to quest ioning concerning the whys and wherefores of the great game of golf he has been playing for Coach Bob Rutherford. Golfing Family It all began before Tom was born. In fact, it began with the birth of the first of five sons to Mrs. Smith. Golf balls were as prevalent in the Smith household as silverware, so it was natural that Tom should one day trip over one and decided to try hid ing a few in the cups of the Greensburg Country Club greens. Watching his brothers, he natural ly thought the easy way was with a putter. That’s the way 'he’s been doing it ever since. When the small-framed links man moved out to the Penn State golf course last year to try out for the varsity, team play was not exactly new to him. In his sophomore year at Greensburg High School, Tom qualified for and played in the P. I. A. A. finals here. That was before he had made a name for himself in the Greensburg district as an up and coming golfer. C & F Major Following a two-year hitch in the Navy, Tom entered Penn State in the commerce and finance curriculum, the business field being another tradition in the Smith family. Last year, his sophomore year, the Lion star made the team that went unde feated in eight matches to win the E. I. G. A. title. Tom has noticed a general improvement in his play since last year. “Bob Rutherford has given me a lot of good points,” he said. With the entirely new team we have this year, Bob has done quite a bit in the way of inspiring con fidence among the players*.” Smith asserts that although his FR££ CLOTHING REPAIRS We sew on or tighten buttons, menn small pocket holes, tack trouser cuffs and repair brcken belt loops FREE whcr you bring your cleaning or quick to HalFa Dry Cleaning Shop.

TODAY By Frank Conti Lion Golfers To Enter Final ElGATournament Field At Rivervale Country Club Includes Yale, Navy, Brown The Penn State golfers, newly crowned regional E.I.G.A. cham pions, left yesterday for New Jersey where they will take part in the finals to be held at the Rivervale Country Club. The tournament field will be made up of four regional winners which include Penn State, Yale, Navy and Brown. Coach Bob Rutherford left with a seven-man squad and one alternate on the three day trip. By leaving yesterday, the team will have an opportunity to try the unknown course at least once It's In the Family TOMMY SMITH approach shots are probably the best part of his game, he practices more on his putting. These long hours of practice must account for the Lion sensation’s ability to threaten to break par on any course he has played. The Nittany golfer thinks his best game was played on the Mt. Union course in which he shot a record three under par 72, to qualify for last year’s State Legion tournament. As for going professional, Tom has turned thumbs down on that. “I’ll enter the business field just as my brothers have done,” says the Lion sparkplug. One thing is certain. If the business he enters has a record to be broken, par breaking Tom Smith will be out to crack it. First Aide New football aide, Sever Tor etti, already has assumed his new duties. He was asked to report May 1 when Earle Edwards, the former first assistant, left the campus to assume his new posi tion as end coach at Michigan State. ERIDAY, MAY 13, 1949 before actual play starts tomor row.

Record The varsity linksmen have a season’s record of four won and one lost in dual meet competition and three won and one lost in E.I.G.A. play. The Lions won four straight dual meets after dropping their first to Georgetown, and lost only to Cornell in E.I.G.A. play here.
