Lion Stickmen
Astound Hobart
With 13-12 Win
Penn State’s lacrosse team
knocked unbeaten Hobart from
the ranks of the nation’s major
unbeaten teams yesterday with
a thrilling 13-12 victory at Gen
eva, N. Y.
This afternoon the Lions will
close its stick season against Col
gate at Hamilton, N. Y. A State
win over the Red Raiders will
boost its season record to five
wins against four losses.
It was five-foot, nine-inch Ed
die Belfield who turned the tide
in the Blue and White favor. In
pre-game dope the Lions sported
a four-game losing streak and
were not conceded much of a
chance against the Statesmen.
With less than five minutes of
play remaining in the final canto,
Belfield snapped a 12-12 tie by
pushing a sharp underhand shot
past the Hobart goalie.
Action was furious during the
entirety of the game, with State
jumping off to a 4-2 first period
lead and adding three counters
the pre-intermission period to
hold an uncomfortably close 7-5
half-time edge.
Hobart rallied for five big
points in the third period, hold
ing a 10-9 margin as the final
15-minutes of action got under
way.

For: Nittany Lacrosse Team
. There is a peculiar sort of game played today, the main purpose
being Cto the average onlooker) to give the opponent a murderous
°n some part of the body and skip away in possession of a
little ball.
This nonpareil among athletic encounters goes under the abo
riginal jawbreaker of Baggataway, originally played by the proud
Redman in his forest primeval.
Today the sport has been refined and the French-Canadian
monicker substituted. At Penn State, where each year it is becom
ing more popular, there is no inclination to “Give it back to the
Indians.
Combining the ruggedness of football, the speed of a ping pong
game, the agility of a Nijinski and the all-around coordination of a
pin ball expert, lacrosse is being rapidly transformed into one of
the greatest spring attractions at
the College.
Again, as ever since 1913, Penn
State is represented by large
varsity and jayvee squads whose
training is regarded to be gen
erally as taxing as football.
Once again the lacrossemen,
garbed in uniforms just as costly
but far less heavy than grid
armor, whack and smack each
other until the traditional Lion
Blue and White is transposed into
varying shades of black and blue.
For the bug-eyed bleacherite
who doesn’t ken the sport, here’s
how the game is played. Two
ten-man teams line up for the
referee’s inspection. Each man
carries an ash stick which has a
scoop-shaped net woven of raw
hide, the pockets varying in size
from 12 inches for goalies to six
inches in width for attack men.
GAME'S OBJECT
To accomplish this, the play
. , ers tear up and down a 110-yard
field between gas-pipe framed goals set 80 yards apart. They rush
with the ball cradled in the strings of their crosses, passing to each

Bill Ashenfelter, a brother of

veloping speed.

Harrisburg Center’s squad yester
day, had a string of six consecu
tive wins prior to that game.
MYERS
Included among Swarthmore’s
victories are decisions over
Franklin and Marshall, U. of Del
aware and William and Mary.
The Center stickmen are coached
by Art Myers who, in his first
year as a collegiate mentor, was

the Pennsylvania State Lacrosse
Association.
In their two games this spring,
Coach John McHugh’s athletes
have taken Harrisburg Center,
11-9, while being stymied, 11-0,
by Navy’s junior varsity. The
Lion offense is expected to be
headed by Paul Raffensberger
and Don Watkins. Husky Milo
Kosanovich, of Aliquippa, will
spearhead the defense.

Penn State will be out to repeat
its victory ove r the Spartans last
year. The Lions at that time Were

Gehrdes who personally scored
15 Vt points. The Lions in addi
tion to Gehrdes will be led bjr
Captain Horace Ashcnfelter, Wil
Lancaster, Bob Freebairn, Larry

Besides their 61 to 61 tie with
USC, the Spartans have chalked
up victories over Notre Dame
and a very strong Ohio State team
in addition to dominating the
Drake Relays.
The Nittany Lions in the mean
time were scoring one-sided wins
over Navy and Penn in a tri
angular meet and over Colgate in
a dual meet. In between they
travelled to Philadelphia for the
Penn Relays where the v turned
in a creditable performance.
Coach Werner in commenting
on the coming meet pointed to
the Spartans rerord and said that
it will be almost a physical im
possibility to down the powerful
forces of Coach Karl Schaldeman.

the meet will see one of the best
