Penn State had en tered a strong distance medley relay team, one which potential ly could have set a world's rec ord. Main competition for the event came from Georgetown and, as the race progressed, it became apparent that the out come would hinge on the per formances of the last men of the two teams. Both were to run one mile. The Penn State runner and the Georgetown captain start ed almost together. For the first three-quarters of a mile our an chor man was content to trail his opponent. But with. only 150 yards to go, he made his bin, At tempting to pass on the turn. The Georgetown runner, how ever, swung wide, to prevent being passed. Contrary to the rules, Penn State's runner at tempted to pass on the inside, but the Georgetown runner closed in, was tripped by the flying feet of our man and fell. Without hesitation, our man stopped, waited for the George town runner to get up and re sume racing, and beat his man to the tape. The exhibition of our man's sportsmanship meant more than the race or a possible world's record in the event. Who was our anchor man that day? Long Throw Frank Mataya, Washington State's present all-around athlete, and ace weight man, holds the State Interscholastic record in the shot put with a heave of 52' 7 1 / 4 " set •in 1946.

Together, the Nittany first-year men aided Bedenk's 1950 varsity in compiling a 15 won and 6 lost season. They will form the nu cleus around which the Penn State mentor will have to base his next year's diamond hopes. Getting his first taste of top-notch collegiate pitching:, Hopper hit hard with a healthy .323 bat tin% mark in 21 games. In addition, he batted in 14 runs and poled out three home runs.

Thiel, Baer Perfect Mask For 'Crosse Safety Nick Thiel, Penn State scoring ace, Ernie Baer, are p a face mask designed to br while helping small schools equip their teams more economically. The idea, born in Thiel's 25- year playing and coaching ex perience, and quickly translated into a working model by the nimble-fingered , Baer, already has won the acclaim of players and coaches who regard it as a vast improvement over the pro tectors now in general use. "Too often," Thiel, former Sy racuse All-American, points out, "players sustain face cuts when sticks penetrate the mask. In our design we think we eliminate this type of injury almost entirely." The. Penn State veteran says there is more protective armor in his mask, visibility is im proved, parts are replaceable, and the mask can be attached to a standard football helmet, there by reducing costs for schools which may find the present all nclusive headgear too expensive.

Single Unit Equipment It was to the elimination of this disadvantage that Thiel and Baer first applied themselves and out of their study came a single unit encompassing both the metal face parts and the leather visor Next, they attached this unit to a •football helmet with a few screws, hinging it so the mask could be easily lifted .from the face. To secure the attachment, four holes were drilled in the football helmet, two above the temple prOtector and two in the ear pieces.
