The Lion’s Tale
by Ed Watson
SPORTS EDITOR
First Since 1944
When St. John’s clamped a 3-0
defeat on Coach Joe Bedenk’s
baseball nine June 7, it marked
the first time in 86 contests that
a Nittany diamond team had
failed to cross the plate at least
once during the course of a game.
The shutout defeat was inflic
ted in the second round of the
NCAA baseball play-offs in New
.Yopk City. Both State and St,
John’s battled it out in two more
games before the Brooklyn bats
men captured the District 2 title.
Back in 1944, a pesky herd of
BUfcknell Bisons strode from the
diamond with a 7-0 victory over
the Blue and White. This was
the Lions’ last whitewash until
St. John's silenced the vaunted
Nittany bats June 7.
Lacrosse Leaders
For the first time in ten years,
co-captains will lead Penn State’s
lacrosse team into action next
spring. Bobby Louis and Eddie
Belfield were selected to the co
captaincy by their teammates.
Louis, along with Buddy Thomas,
topped the Their men in scoring
by counting 16 goals.
Belfield, who played lacrosse
at Swarthmore High School, was
the only varsity performer last
season who had previous stick
experience before college.
'Far in Front'
Five members of the 1949 base
ball squad have earned honors
in different all-star teams that
been have selected since the sea
son closed.
Pitcher Cy Miller and short
stop Hal Hackman were picked
for the District 2 all-star com
bination, while Miller, Wertz and
second sacker Joe Tocci were
named to Bucknell’s all-opponent
team.
Four Nittany baseballers were
on the Tri-State all-star team of
the Pittsburgh Press. Wertz,
Hackman, Miller and pitcher A 1
Tkac were the Nittanies who
made the Press’ list. We quote
from the Press, “Penn State was
admittedly far in front of other
colleges in team strength.”
Major League Debut
While we are on the subject
of baseball, we noticed that at
least one of the opposing ball
players that faced Penn State on
the baseball field this season, has
made good.
A 1 Naples, Georgetown short
stop made his major league de
but with the St. Louis Browns of
the American League Sunday. In
his first trip to the plate, Naples
clouted a double, and he handled
seven chances in the field with
out commiting an error.
Against the Lions, however,
Naples was far from brilliant, as
the Nittanies combed the Wash
ington, D. C., lads for 13-1 and
8-3 victories. The Hoyas short
stop was able to get only one hit
in eight tries against the Bedenk
men, and was charged with five
errors in the two games.
Here and There
End Sam Tamburo and Tackle
John Nolan, teammates on the
1947 Cotton Bowl football eleven,
will be reunited on the gridiron
this fall. Both have signed con
tracts with the New York Bull
dogs of the National Football
League . . . Bill Lockhart had a
hand in both new track records
which were set by the Lion
thinqlads this season. The for
mer William Penn High (Harris
burg) flash romped to a new 440
mark of 49.1, and anchored the
mile relay team to a clocking of
3:19.2. Both records were estab
lished against Notre Dame in a
dual meet.
Rate Him Tops
Penn State baseball players
rate Dom Novak, of St. John’s
the best pitcher they faced in
1949.
