State Thindads Open In Columbus Tri-Meet Hurdles Threat Jim Gehrdes Golfers Seek 2nd, 3rd Wins Against Hoyas Coach Bob Rutherford Jr., will send his golf team in quest of its second and third victories of the season, today at 1:30 and tomorrow afternoon against the Georgetown clubbers on. the College links. . The Nittanies easly defeated an inexperienced Gettysburg team in the season’s opener, 5-2. The Hoyas all expected to offer the Rutherford aggregation stiffer competition as the Lions prepare for the coming matches with such outstanding teams as Army and Syracuse. The victorious crew of last week’s matches' are expected to see action in the weekends ac , tivity. Captain Tom Smith, who won his opening match, will probably be the Lions’ pace maker. Jim Yerkes, Bob Kunkle, Ted Robertson, and Alex Munro will be out to keep their slate clean in dual competition. Lacrosse Team Faces Rutgers The Nittany Lion lacrosse team will leave for New Bruns wick, N. J. this afternoon for tomorrow’s game with Rutgers University. * With four of the best prac tice sessions of the season so far behind them, the Lions will be out to capture their first victory of the season against the Scarlet. But again Coach Nick Thiel’s men will be up against a more experienced squad. The Lions, with only three lettermen in the lineup, have dropped their only two starts while Rutgers, with a veteran squad, has won three of its six games—defeating Wil liams, CCNY and Lehigh and los ing to Washington & Lee, Vir ginia and Maryland. RUTGERS DEFEATS NAVY All three of Rutgers’ victors are rated as powerhouses in the East. Adding the Scarlet’s ab breviated practice victory over the defending national co-champ ion, Navy, Rutgers appears to be a tough hurdle for State’s “green” lacrossemen. . But Coach Thiel has praised the improvement of his charges and especially their showing against Navy last Saturday. “If we play like we did against Navy, we’ll give Rutgers a rough time,” said Thiel. The starting line up for Sat urday’s contest will havei Co captain Ed Belfield, Bud Wolf ram and Jim Reed at the close attack; Co-captain Bob Louis, Jack Wilcox and Jim Fulton at midfield; John Hagerman, Joe Drazenovich and Vance Scout at the defensive positions and Phu Benedetti in the nets. By JOE BREU Coach Chick Werner has named 23 members of his Penn State track team to make the trip to Columbus, Ohio for the triangular meet with Michigan State and Ohio State tomorrow. Capt. Jim Gehrdes heads the Nittany delegation which is ex pected to receive its severest test of the season in its initial start against the two other State schools. The meet will be one of the big gest matches in the country this season. Michigan State won the indoor IC4-A title during the Winter while Ohio State captured the Big 10 title. But Werner is conceding noth ing to either team: "The meet will be very close," he said. "I don't know who will win it but we have a good chance. If our team was at full strength I believe we would liilCG it." TOUGH OPPOSITION The competition the Lions will encounter Saturday will be of championship calibre. Michigan State has quite an array of top flight men and Ohio State needs to take a backseat to no one. Among the group of Michigan State stars are Bill Mack, Warren Druetzler and Jack Dianetti in the distance division, Horace Smith and George Thomas in the dashes and hurdles, and Thomas in the broad jump. Ohio State has such high class men as Len Truex in the distance runs; Bill Cole, sprints; Harry Cogswell, dashes; Tom D’Arcy, distance; John Edwards, shot put; Bill Miller, discus and shot; Bill McKnight and Les Bruney, pole vault, and Jim Wade in the broad jump. But Coach Werner also has a few boys who can give anyone an interesting afternoon. Besides Gehrdes in the hurdles the Lions have Wil Lancaster, Bill Lockhart and Gehrdes in the sprints, Vic Fritts in the high jump and Lan caster in the broad jump. PLAGUED BY INJURIES All three teams have been plagued with injuries. Penn State may be without the services of Lancaster, who hurt his back in practice, and will be minus Bill Polito who was counted on as one of the top. sprinters for the coming season. Polito pulled a muscle in practice. The loss of Lancaster would de finitely put a crimp' in State’s hopes for victory;. He has become one of the top point-getters on the team. He was favored to win both the 100-yard and the 220-yard dashes. Michigan State’s severest loss was that of Fred Johnson who is out for the season.
