TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1950 Bucknell Batsmen Score 11in7thToJoltLions,15-3 There are some days, a ballplayer just can't make a nickel, and yesterday there wasn't a cent to be had in the Nittany lineup as Bucknell trounced the State nine, 15-3, at Beaver Field. The Lions were riding high after taking two from West Virginia over the weekend at Beaver Field, 13-7 and 4-2, and when Hen Albright tripled to start yesterday's game, it looked as if the Lions had found the hitting range once again. Art Raynor, Bucknell hurler who now has defeated State twice this season, stood the Lions on their collective ears after Al bright's hit and did the same thing in the second when Captain Dick Wertz led off with a double. Two Home Runs Trouble started in the third when the Bisons hit two homers for three markers. They added one more in the sixth before the Lions broke in with two runs. Then the roof fell in. The Bis ons scored 11 runs off loser 'AI Tkac, Bill Everson, Herb Budin and Bill Bair. Only five Bisons hit safely in the melee but two walks, two errors and a hit bats men helped considerably. The Lions rumbled in the sev enth and eighth frames but only one run came out of the. noise. The loss to Bucknell now puts the Nittany log at 6 wins and 4 losses. Saturday was a different story. *While winner Dalton Ruinberger had to be relieved by Everson, the closest the Mountaineers could come was three runs. In the sec ond, Bair, with a new .outfield be hind him, came through with a six-hit job in seven innings for his second straight win. • The lineups: Bucknell Ab R H Sinclair, If 6 1 1 Penn State Ab R Albright, if 4 . 0 1 Tocci, •2b 4 0 0 Tonery, ss 5, 2 2 Hopper, cf 3 1 0 Wertz, _lb 3 0 2 Kurty, c 4 0 . 0 Dougherty, rf 3 - 0 1 Little, 3,b 4 0 0 Tkac, p 2 0 0 Everson, p 0 0 0 Budin, p 0 0 0 Bair, p 0 0 - 0 Totals . 32 . :3• 6 slcKib'n, lb 5 3 2 Franke, rf 5 2 2 Concklin, cf 5 2 2 Dyer, c 5 I. .2 Shirk, 8b •3 2 2 Weber. es 4 1 1 Kough, 2b 5 1 1 Raynor, p 6 2 3 Totals 43 16 16 IM Deadline This afternoon at 5 , o'clock has been set as the , entry dead line for independent and fra.; terriity TM golf putting, horse shoe doubles and track.

That's the plight of Nick Thiel's Nittany lacrosse team which will take on Virginia, Saturday, in the Lions second home game of the season. Virginia is Syracuse's only conqueror this season. Saturday, Syracuse defeated Penn State, 17-3. State jumped into the lead in the first period against the Orange and gave indications of making a battle out of the con test. Jim Reed and Co-Captain Bob Louis put the Lions into the lead with a . goal apiece before the Orange could muster a point. But the lead was short-lived as the veteran Syracuse stickmen scored four times before the first period, ended to take a 2 goal lead. .The boys looked good in the first 13 minutes, but after that they couldn't control the ball and their defense fell apart," commented assistant Lion coach John McHugh. Phil Raffensperger added the Lions' only other tally in the second period as the Nittanies were blanked in the final half. Jack Britton and Bill Fuller paced the Orange attack with three goals apiece. • Six, of Penn State's 16 inter collegiate 'a thlet i c teams are coached .by alumni of the institu tion. Landon Shows Dad That Tennis Is His Racket By LOWELL KELLER Most good tennis players start out their net career by chasing balls for their dad or uncle at the local tennis club or on the public courts. ter on, they learn the fundamentals and after playing through high school and reaching the col legiate age they are usually good bets to make the team: Owen 'Sonny' Landon, .1950 Penn State co-captain elect, along with Bill Aiken, is one play er who worked himself along this way. But he had better luck than the average "retriever." By the time Sonny started swinging the (you should pardon the expression) cat gut at State he was considered a veteran campaigner even. to the tune of playing in amateur tour naments on the other side of the Atlantic. Williamsport Lad Sonny was born and raised in Williamsport where his father participated in all the big tourna ments in the Brandon Park Tennis• League. Naturally, six t e e n-year-o 1 d Sonny chased the balls and later was taught the essentials by his dad. In high school. Sonny cap tained the net squad which was undefeated in_ his senior year. The PIAA tournament brought him to State College where he was defeated in the finals. This apparently was no discourage inent to the youngster, for he cap tured the Susquehanna Valley championship and the Williams port Tennis Club title that same year,, 1945. In the latter matches Landon won a youth over age triumph when .he outlasted Irving Wheat croft, ranked fifteenth in England in 1936, in the finals. The next big step for the sandy haired Nittany leader was a hook up,with the Army in '45.
