WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12. 1950
State Nine Opens Card
Against W. Maryland
Penn State's baseball team opens its se - ason this after
noon at, 4 p.m. against the terrors from Western Maryland.
The game marks the start of the 20th season for Coach .Toe
Bedenk at the helm of the Nittany Lions.
Seven of State's probable starting nine are veterans of
last year's team which finished with a record 19 and 6, in
cluding 3 out of 5 in the Dis
trict 2 NCAA playoffs.
Starting outfielders for Bedenk's
1950 diamond version appear to
be Hen Albright in leftfield. Owen
Dougherty in right and Bill On
dick in center, all veterans.
There is a chance that sopho
more Bill Hopper will replace
Ondick in center field with Will
Hall in right and,Stan Lagonosky
in left. These switches will de
pend on the Maryland pitching
selections.
The infield will have Captain
Dick - Wertz at first; Joe Tocci or
Gene Solomon at second, Carman
Troisi or Paul Mowry at short
stop and Chris Tonnery or Harry
Little at third.
Veterans Jack Kurty and Clar
ence Buss will divide duty be
hind the bat and the pitching
chores will fall to Al Tkac, Bill
Bair and Dalton Rumberger, all
righthanders.
ONLY THREE INNINGS
Coach Bedenk stated that he
will probably pull his pitchers
after three innings, no matter how
good they are going. He gave in
sufficient outdoor practice as the
reason.
Tkac missed most of the early
practice sessions while - he was
practice teaching, while the wea
ther has been everything , but the
best for Bair, Rumberger and the
rest of the squad.
According to the College wea
ther station, game time will find
it colder, partly cloudy and ac
copanied by a 15 mile-an-hour
wind—just enough to make high
fly balls do tricks before they
make up their mind to come
down.
The Western Maryland squad
of 22 men will arrive in State
College at 12 and lunchat 12:15.
In the
,Terror's only game to
date, they defeated Rensaleer
Polytech 9-6.

THE DAILY CO
Nittany Grid Squad Prepares
For Bucknell Practice Game
Penn State's 1950 gridiron 'hopefuls resumed Spring practice
yesterday afternoon in preparation for a scrimmage game at Buck
nell Saturday afternoon.
The squad broke camp a week ago Monday following a
mage with St. Francis College of Lorretto, Pa. Although the
mage lasted an hour and three quarters, a steady rain fell
the entire session, preventing the
Lions from displaying their full
wares
Despite the rain and mud, the
Lions managed to outscore St.
Francis, three touchdowns to
none. Backs Earl Mundell, Chan
Johnson, and Len Shephard were
responsible for the Penn State
touchdowns.
MUNDELL SCORES ON PUNT
Mundell, th e •
watch-charm
wingback, grabbed a punt and
raced 60 yards for a touchdown
before the Frankies knew what
was up. Johnson, who started at
the wingback post, tallied on a
45-yard end run, while Shephard,
a starter, at fullback, bucked over
from the two-yard line.
Quarterback John Podrasky
and tailback Tony Orsini teamed
with Johnson and Shephard to
form the starting backfield • for
State, while Art Betts and 'John
SfilidanAy started at the end
posts.

Track Coach
In Search of
'Hidden Talent'
Track Coach ' Chick Werner
has issued a call for all men in
terested in track to contact him
at Rec Hall this week.
The Nittany mentor pointed
out that there is talen in the
College that has not yet shown
up because of the fear that the
team is too strong for them to
make. But he pointed out that
such is not the case and that the
Blue and White tracksters are
sorely in need of new men in
every event.
Sophom or es are especially
urged, to come out, he said. Any
students with past experience
and the desire to learn is wel
comed and should contact him
or Assistant Coach Norm Gordon
at Rec Hall this week.
Werner stressed the fact that
it is not too late to come out
for the team.
"In fact," he added, "now is
the ideal time and anyone will
ing to learn, regardless of past
experience, should at, least come
up to Rec Hall and talk ,things
over, with us as soon as possible."
Public Opinion—NOTHlNG IS STRONGER
. given the facts NOTHING IS WISER
On the Owners of Business
A "community" estimated at some
14,000,000 people owns American
business. The Bell Telephone sys
tem is owned by 940,000 stock
holders. General Motors is owned
by 436,000, Pennsylvania . Railroad
by more than 202,000.
There are more 'stockholders in
the U.S. than there are farmers.
More than the membership of the
C. 1.0. More than the membership
of the A.F.L. Certainly stock
holders are no "privileged few.:'
67,000 more stockholders now
have a share in General Electric's
ownership than 15 years ago.
There are 80,000 more, owners of
General Electric than! there are
employees. Today's total of stock
holders is over 250,000. Of these
more than 215,000 are individuals.

Lion Lacrossemen Open
Season at Baltimore
The Nittany lacrosse team opens its 1950 campaign Friday after
noon at Baltimore at Loyola University. On Saturday afternoon, the
Lions will take on the flashy stickmen from the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis.
Coach Nick Thiel's men have had four days of good practice
under their belts since their practice victory over the Annapolis
Lacrosse Club before vacation.i
The practices have been devoted
to attack and defensive maneu
vers and climaxed with some
much needed scrimmage.
The Nittany stickmen will be
out to avenge last year's defeats
at the hands of Loyola and Navy.
A victory over Navy would be
especially sweet since a Penn
State lacrosse team has never
won a contest from the Midship
man. Last year Navy defeated the
Lions, 19-7, while Loyola had to
come from behind to cop a 6-4
decision.
LOYOLA WINS FIRST
In its season opener, Loyola
gave strong Maryland a • rough
time before going down to a 9-5
defeat. But the Lions expect
trouble from the strong attack
of the Loyolans and Barry, their
potential all-American goalie.
Navy, co-national champs last
year, will field a strong team
despite the loss of All-Americans
Dick Seth and Lee Chambers. The
Midshipmen opened their season
against Washington College with
a 10-5 victory and in their second
