Gehrdes Only Double Winner At IC4-A's
Fritts, Draz, Roderer Star As
Penn State Places Sixth In Meet
Jim Gehrdes had his hat in the ring today as a definite
'challenger for the.NCAA hurdles championships.
The Nittany track captain served his warning to other
contenders Saturday at the IC4-A meet in New York. Jumpin'
Jim captured both the 120 yard high hurdles and the 220 yard
lows to become the only man at
the 'meet to win more than one
event.
But Jim did not steal the local
spot light
tirely. Te a

event.
Fritts Places Second
Other Lions to place at the
weekend meet were Vic Fritts,
who placed second in the high
jump with a leap of 6' 3" and
Ted Roderer whose toss of 197
feet 3 inches was good enough
for fifth place in the javelin.
State Finishes, 6th
The State team picked up 1.53 , 2
points to finish sixth in a 47
team field. The meet was won
by Yale, with NYII second, and
Michigan State's favored Spar
tans third.
Jim's - wins came over an old
running companion, Horace
Smith. Smith used to be quite
a puzzle for Jim but since the
Altoona Flyer leveled his sights
on the Spartan in the indoor IC
meet, he has been able to top
Jiin only once in about seven tries.
Jim covered the cinders in the
lows in 14.4 'seconds and the highs
in 2a.2. Both. races were close
and Gehrdes had to come from
behind to nip Smith, defending
champion, in each race.
Coach Chick Werner's Nittany
team is just about ready to -store
its equipment for the season. The
IC meet was the last for most of
those competing. Gehrdes and

Triumph Over Colgate
In Penn State's best-played match of the season, Coach
Sherman rogg's 'varsity tennis team ended its season on a
happy chord Satuiday by humbling the favored Colgate net
men, 6-3, on the varsity courts.
The battle could be considered a tribute to Fogg who
'spent every available minute , this past week training the
men to their sharp playing form.
The opening battle was a
"stunner" in which Captain
Owen Landon, rallying from a
first set defeat, topped Bill Lust,
outstanding Raider ace, 4-6, 9-7,
7-5. At one .point in the second
set, •"Sonny" faced a forty-love
deficit, a margin in which an
other point by Lust would 'have
closed the door.
Dick Wieland had the same
trouble his initial set, but fol

The - tennismen garnered their
third straight point when Jim
HoWell's turned the tables in the
orgy straight singles set, beating
Stewart Bicknell, 6-3, 6-4.
In the fourth singles, Mark
Borland bowed to Ed' Stern, 0-6,
6-3, 2-6; and Colgate notched its
second win when Bob Barker

at Ithaca, the Lion jayvees won
their second game by defeating
Swarthmore Center, 5-2, on the

With John Hagerman, Jack
Wilcox and Burt Raymond miss

forth with the two teams never
more than three goals apart.
Phil Raffensperger paced the
Lion scorers with four goals,
while Rock got four for the win
ners.

finished the season with a 2-1
record by defeating the invading
Swarthmore Center ten, 5-2..

took scoring honors for the after
noon with two goals.
The loss to Cornell, Saturday,
gave the Lion varsity a 3-6 mark
for the 1950 season. However,
this year's squad can count
among its souvenirs, Penn State's
one hundredth lacrosse victory—
accomplished in the next to the
last game of the season through
a 10-4 victory over Ithaca Col
lege.
The game marked the end of
the collegiate careers of 14 sen

teamed up for the first time, but
- dropped, a close contest to Bark

Baseball Squad Awaits Decision
On NCAA District 2 Play-off Berth
Will Penn State get into the NCAA District 2 playoffs
or not?
That's the question in the minds of the Nittany nine as
they await word from a room in Scranton's Hotel Casey as
to what teams will battle in a
playoff, or what team will repre
sent the East in the "college
world series."
The committee met last night
to decide if a playoff was neces
sary, or if one team was out
standing enough to represent the
district without a playoff.
Reliable sources' report that
Rutgers or New York University
may get the nomination, but if
a playoff comea,* State, Rutgers,
NYU and one other team will
tangle.
Batter Colgate, 13-4
The Lions gave themselves a
big boost Saturday when they
ran roughshod over Colgate in a
13-4 fiasco that saw the Nittanies
rack up 11 runs in the first inn
ing.
Sixteen men batted against
three Red Raider hurlers, with
Bill Hopper's home run with two
on being the big blow of the inn
ing.
The four-bagger was Hopper's
third of the season and tied hith
with Captain Dick Wertz for
leadership in that department.
Hopper, a southpaw, defied the
percentages, getting his blast off
a left-handed pitcher.
fill Bair was the winning pitch
er, his record now reading 5-0 for
the season. Bair• was relieved by
Al Tkac with two out in the ninth
after four runs had scored.
