Middies Today
The fleet's in!
Coach Earl Thomson and his Middie convoy of track and
field men from Annapolis will drop anchor on Beaver Field
this afternoon. And, before they leave they ,will exchange
any Coach Chick Werner in
,ion 440 Dash Star
salvos with the recruits of Nit
the Lions' first home engagement.
Hostilities will begin in the field
events at 1 p.m. and the 'track men
will start running at 1:30.
Leading the Lions'' attack will
be Capt. Jim Gehrdes, who will
be making his next to last appear
ance before home fans. Jim should
experience little trouble in scut
tling the hurdles field.
The Penn State team will enter
the battle as slight favorites. The
Lions have faced only the best of
competition so far this year and
have not fared too badly.
The Wernermen will be looking
for their first triumph of the cam
paign, but in losing to Michigan
State and Ohio State in a tri
meet, and to the former in a dual
contest last week, they lost little
prestige.
Sunk by Maryland
Navy,' meanwhile, was sent to
Davy Jones' locker by its neigh
bor, Maryland, and then reversed
the result by sinking Georgetown
and Penn in a three-way fight.
The Middies won their third
Meet last week against the Duke
Blue Devils. They dumped the
Southerners by a count of 73 to 58.
Wil Lancaster, undefeated in
dual and triangular competition
this Spring, should have pretty
much his own way in the dashes.
An interesting feature of the meet
will be the expected fight between
the ace sprinter and Gehrdes for
top scoring honors. The two sen
iors have led the Lions in both its
meets this year.
Penn State fans will be getting
their first look at the rejuvenated
Bill Ashenfelter. Until this Spring
Bill had been one of quite a num
ber of good distance runners on
the State team. Only recently has
he blossomed out into a full-fledg
ed star.
At the Penn Relays he bettered
the Penn State record for the mile
with 4:11, although it was not in
Alpha Chi Rho
V-Ball Champs
Alpha Chi Rho-A, up to Thurs
day night unheralded in intra
mural sports this year, fought
back in one of the most spine
tingling volleyball games of the
season to defeat Phi Kappa Psi-A,
8-15, 15-9, 17-15, at Rec Hall. The
winners • thus supplant Sigma
Nu-A as 1950 fraternity volley
ball champions.
The members of the victorious
spikesquad are Joe Tocci, Lou
Lamie, Don Hazlett, Ray Rachow
ski, Dick McDougall, Lloyd War
neka, and Paul Gehrett.
In the final match, with both
teams having one win apiece, Phi
Kappa Psi had the game at match
point, 14-9, but the eventual win
ners rallied to 13-14. The ball
changed courts once and the score
was tied at 14-14. Phi Psi upped
it 15-14, but with a final surge,
the Alpha Chi Rho's took the
crown, and their first chunk of
glory.

Do hi h.ader
By GEORGE GLAZER
Two, of the country's better collegiate baseball teams will tangle when Syracuse and
the Nittany Lions meet this afternoon in a doubleheader at Beaver Field.
The first, game will start at 1:30.
Syracuse, which began the season with a swing through-the South for five games, now
has a record of 13 wins and 2 defeats. The Lions' log stands at 7 and 5.
Bill Bair, with a record of 2-0, will start the first game. Coach Joe Bedenk's starter in
the nightcap is still uncertain.
Al Tkac, kingpin of the mound
corps, was scheduled to take the
hill, but he suffered a pulled liga
ment in his back, and it is still
uncertain if he will be able to
pitch. If Tkac is not ready to go,
Merle Gunnett, Bill Everson or
Dalton Rumberger will replace
him.
Herb Budin, langy sophomore
right hander who showed well in
relief against Bucknell, Monday,
will get the bullpen chore today.
Albright Doubtful
Assistant Coach Chuck Medlar
will have final say on a possible
shift in the regular outfield. Med
lar, State's head trainer, is treat
ing leftfielder Hen Albright for a
bruised shin. As of yesterday, Al
bright was scheduled to sit out
today's ,games. If he does, his re
placement will probably be Bill
Ondick, or •possibly Stan Lagono
sky, both right handed hitters.
Albright is a lefty.
Syracuse will have only three
of its five returning lettermen in
the lineup.
3 Rivals Play
Under New Heads
West Virginia and the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh, like Penn State,
will play football under new head
coaches in 1950. The three are tra
ditional athletic rivals.
West Virginia's new chief, suc
ceeding Dud DeGroot, is Art
Lewis while Len Casanova, form
erly of Santa Clara, will be in
command at Pitt. Casanova suc
ceeds Mike Milllgan.
Penn State's new head man, the
.firS.,non-alumnus since . 1929, is
Charles A. "Rip" Engle, formerly
of Brown University. Engle suc
ceeds Joe Bedenk, who resigned
after one year at the helm.
