Nine Takes
Third, 16-2,
Tkac Wins
Sixteen runners crossed the
plate on 15 hits and 11 walks as
the Lion baseball team yesterday
swamped Washington and Jeff
erson, 16-2, on Beaver Field.
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.
W&J’s hits were bunched in the
sixth and eighth frames.

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.
Last year Belfield and Louis were the main cogs of a Lion uni
which rang up a 5-4 record.
And again this year they are making things tick for Thiel’s
webbed shillelagh forces. || . j
Although Bob is troubled with
a bad ankle, he was still able to
score 16 goals last year. Belfield
tallied 14 times.
Totals • 37 16 16
Together they converted 30 of
the B'4 scores the Lions made last
season.
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.
Belfield, meanwhile, is one .of
the select few of the lacrosse
Lions who played the stick game
in' high school. He played four
seasons at Swarthmore High.
The lacrosse forces play only
three of their nine ’5O tussles on
hpme grounds, Saturday being
