A 1 Tkac, winning Lion hurler for the third time this season,, gave up five hits, walked two, and struck out eight. The’ win gave Tkac his third straight victory of the season against no losses. (Through a scoring oversight, Tkac was given the Bucknell loss instead of Dalton Rumberger. Ed. Note). The Nittany batters were held scoreless only in the third inning while their opponents _ did not tally until the sixth inning. Bill Hopper had a perfect day at the plate with two hits and four walks in six times up. Owen Dougherty and Harry Little, both with' two for three, scored three times each. A scarcity of extra base hits was in evidence. Despite State’s heavy scoring, catcher Jack Kurty was the only player to get a long hit, a double over the head of W&J’s Roger Bartoli in centerfield.

Louis, Belfield Spark Lion Lacrosse Squad Bob Louis and Eddie Belfield, the Blue and White’s aggressive lacrosse co-'captains, will be the first contestants to trot onto the golf course greensward Saturday afternoon when the Nittanies open their home season against the Green Terrors of Western Maryland. “They are a couple, of swell guys,” according to Nick Thiel, lacrosse coach, “and great lacrosse players too.” That’s from a man who knows his stuff.

After tallying three times in the first half of, the Virginia game last year, Louis dislocated his shoulder and had to “sit a few games out.” Both Nittany co-leaders agree that next week's Syracuse game will be "the toughest of the year." "They are loaded." proclaims Belfield. "All but one of last year's team is back." Louis, who attended Frank ford High in Philly, never saw a lacrosse game before coming to State.
