Under ideal weather conditions for the first time this season, the Nittanies exploded for five runs in the first inning and were never headed after that. Tkac gave up three bases on balls to the Owls, but struck out six. Temple’s starting pitch er Clayton Liddell walked one and struck out one while Owl reliever Tony DiLaurentis walk ed two and struck out one. • Joe Tocci started things off with a walk and then stole sec ond. Chris Tonery, who now has six hits in eleven times at the plate, smashed a triple to right center and Tocci galloped home with the first run. Hopper, batting in the clean up slot, drilled a single to right to drive in Tonery and went to third on Captain Dick Wertz’s bingle to center. Jack Kurty ad vanced Wertz on a tap to the pitcher and Owen Dougherty singled to left to send Hopper and Wertz across the plate. Dougherty never stopped and came all the way in when the left-fielder let the ball get through him. KURTY SINGLES 'ln the sixth, Kurty singled, went to third on Dougherty’s double to left-center and came in as Tkac singled to left to send both runners across. Tkac went to third on Hen Albright’s single and came in on Tocci’s fly to left. State’s ninth run was scored in the eighth when Albright walked, - went to second on Tocci’s sacrifice and came around on.

Temple got an unearned run in the fourth when Vic Napolitano walked, went to third on Kurty’s error and came in on Fred Barlow’s fly to cen ter. OWLS FLY The Owls came to life in the seventh and got to Tkac for three runs on a walk, an error, a double and a single. Completing the cycle, Temple’s last run was scored in the eighth when Tkac walked relief pitcher Tony Di- Laurentis. Napolitano sacrificed him to second and Barlow rode him home with a single to left. The Lions’ record now stands at two losses and one defeat while the Owls have a card showing two wins and three losses. State’s only loss came at the hands of , Rutgers last Sat urday. The loss to Rutgers caused Coach Joe Bedenk to revamp his lineup and shakeup the batting order. Tonery, who’s hitting has made everybody sit up and take no tice, was moved over to short stop from third base to replace Carmen Troisi. Soccer Captain Harry Little was moved into the third base slot. Hopper moved up from fifth to fourth in the batting order to replace Kurty, who dropped to sixth and Wertz moved up in to the fifth spot.

The varsity courts are definitely out of the question, and the match will either be played on the Beaver Field clay or on Community Field on South Atherton street. Bucknell has a decided edge in the matter of matches played since they have been through a tour of the South' and have competed in six games. FOGG OPTIMISTIC However, Coach Fogg is still very optimistic over his squad’s chances in the coming season. He believes his racquetmen will overcome the handicap that weather, ineligibility and other hazards have confronted the Lions with in the last few weeks. .The six singles matches will have co-captain Owen “Sonny” Landon as number one; Dick Wieland, number two; Jim How ells, number three; Bill Walls, number four; Gerry Gearhart, MAJOR LEAGUE RESULTS AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday’s Results New York 16, Boston 10 Washington 8, Philadelphia 7 Detroit 7, Cleveland 6 St. Louis 6, Chicago 3 „ „ , W L Pet.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1950 number five, and' Mark Borland, as the number six man. _ In the doubles event, Coach Fogg plans to use Howells and Wieland as the number one team, and Spence Boyer and Dave Jones as the third combin ation. No. 2 NOT SET The number two duo is not yet definite, and can only be de cided if the Nittanyites win their first matches. In this case Harry .Kaufmann and Ed Davis would fill in, but Landon and Walls would take over if one of the singles matches is dropped. The reason behind the delib eration on which courts the match will be played today is that the recent dry spell prac tically wrecked the varsity ten nis courts. They are dried up and completely useless to the squad. Coach Fogg is hoping for a good rainfall sometime before this afternoon’s engagement, sjnee the water will make it easier for the grounds-keepers to fill in the holes both on the Beaver Field courts and on Community Field.
