Ithaca Edges Lion Batsmen, 6-5
Late Inning Rally
One Run Short
in Sloppy Game
By LOWELL KELLER
A last-ditch ninth-inning rally
fell one run short for the Penn
State batsmen yesterday after
noon as the Ithaca college Bomb
ers won a sloppily-played contest,
6-5. Bill McCarthy went all the
way for the visitors in chalking
up his'second victory of the cam
paign. Starter Bill Bair of the
Lions absorbed his first setback.
The game, a dragged-out affair,
had no less than 13 errors, seven
for the Ithacans, and six charged
against State. Five of the Lion
miscues directly accounted for
five of the Bombers’ tallies.
Bair, who was a surprise
starter for the Nittanymen,
pitched well throughout the first
five innings, but it was errors by
teammates that led to his down
fall. Owen Dougherty relieved
him in the sixth inning and
hurled one run-two hit ball the
rest of the game.
McCarthy Hit Hard
McCarthy, on the other hand,
was hit quite freely, and at three
separate times during the con
test, acting coach Joe Hamilton
had to confer with his hurler.
McCarthy was touched for 12
safeties, which included two-bag
gers by Stan Laganosky and Bill
Hopper.
The Lions dented the plate in
the first frame when Henny Al
bright beat out an infield single,
and Harry Little hit to left. When
left-fielder Bob Kirkendal fum
bled the ball, Albright went to
third, and Little to second. Al
bright crossed while Sil Cerchie
was being thrown out short to
first.
The Bombers came back with
two in their half of the second on
two errors by third-sacker Lit
tle, sandwiched between two base
hits. They added a third marker
in the fourth when left-hander
Ron Cole blasted a Bair fast ball
over the right-field fence for a
home run.
Lions Tally Twice
The Lions and the Ithacans
each produced a pair of runs in
the fifth, and the Bombers added
one more in the sixth to up the
score to 6-3. Then came the pulse
stopping ninth.
In this frame, Dougherty start
ed off with a shot to center for
a single, and moved to second
when center-fielder Dick Osmer
booted the ball. Albright
grounded out to second, but Lit
tle kept things alive by drawing
a base on balls and then stealing
second. Cerchie struck out on a
3-2 count, but when Hopper ri
fled a double into right-center to
bring home the fourth and fifth
tallies, the Lions hopes were
raised. Laganosky then dribbled
to shortstop to end the game.

Lacrosse Team
To Host Loyola
In Home Opener
Penn State’s injury-riddled la
crosse squad will attempt to up
set a highly touted Loyola of
Baltimore team tomorrow after
noon on the golf course at 2
o’clock.
The contest will mark the open,
ing of the team’s 1951 home sea
son.
Both teams will enter the game
with identical marks 'of 1-1. Thus
far, State has trounced Western
Maryland, 17-0, while losing to
the • Midshipmen of Annapolis,
10-1. Loyola’s Greyhounds, on the
other hand, lost to last year’s na
tional champions, John Hopkins
of Baltimore, 12-6’ in its opener.
The Greyhounds bounced back,
to brush aside Baltimore univer
sity with a last quarter rally,
13-8. Loyola also drooped a 4-3
scrimmage contest to Navy.'
In last year’s contest, which
the Lions lost to the Baltimore
squad, 9-4, attackman Jim Reed
paced the Lion attack with three
goals. The Lions also have Reed
back this year at the same spot.
Teaming with Reed at the other
attack positions tomorrow prob
ably will be John Walker and Ed
Herring. Both chipped in with two
tallies against Western Maryland.
■ At Midfield, Coach Nick Thiel
will probably start John Wilcox,
Jim Fulton, and Bud Wolfram,
the team’s leading score thus far.
The second trio of Paul Raffens-'
perger, Tony Eagle, and John
Yohman will also see plenty of
action. '■
This starting trio may not be
intact for the whole match, how
ever, as Wilcox suffered a badly
bruised hip against Navy while
Fulton twisted his ankle in a
scrimmage.
Coach Nick Thiel will open
with John Henry, Vance Scout,
and possibly John Ambler at the
defensive spots.

Campaign With
Bucknell Today
The Penn State tennis team
will launch its 1951 net campaign
this afternoon against the Buck
nell courtmen at Lewisburg.
Tomorrow afternoon the Lions
will trek to Washington,' D.C. to
oppose Georgetown.
Of the eight prospects making
the trip, four of them—-Captain
Owen “Sonny” Landon, Dick Wie
land, Ed Davis and Bill Wood saw
action against' the Bucknellians
last season.
Sophs May Start
Much to the surprise of the ex
perienced sure-starting returnees,
two sophomores may break into
the starting line-up, Coach Fogg
said. Bill Ray and Bill Forrey are
the two newcomers who probably
will be making their debut, toil
ing for a college.varsity club.
Sophomore ace, Forrey, may get
the starting nod over 1939 letter
man, Gus Bigott, as No". 6 man for
the Nittanies. Bigott, however,
whose pre-season workouts have
been minimized because of his
goodwill trip in Iran, may see
doubles action.
Landon, Number One
The remaining lineup as' an
nounced by Coach Fogg should
see Captain Landon, one of the
most effective servers in the East,
holding down the No. 1 post for
the Lions. Handling, the No. 2
man job will be Wieland. Num
ber 3 man will be Bill Aiken,‘and
Davis will patrol the No. 4 posi
tion, while Wood will do the
maneuvering as No. 5 man. Either
Forrey or the ageless Bigott will
rein as No. 6 man for the Nittanies.
State’s talent-laden doubles
combinations should play a major
role in this afternoon’s match.
The twosome of Captain Lan
don and Wieland .will cavort as
the Lions’ No. 1 combination. The
No. 2 duet will be composed of
Aiken and Davis. Either Wood or
Ray or Bigott will form the third
combo.

SCOOP. ..
Next to Old M[ain there is no place
better known to students and alumni
than Grahams. Grahams store has be
come a landmark, a traditional gather
ing place for the students.
The man behind this unique store,
Mr. Graham, has lived in State Col
lege for 55 years. He came to State
College in 1896 and opened a small
barber shop on S. Allen St.
Student Information
He later moved to E. College Ave.
where he instituted his now famous
scoreboard. Scores of athletic events,
and news of the day were posted on
a blackboard in front of the shop.
This was the forerunner of the elabor
ate scoreboard that.' Grahams have to
day. Then as now, students made Gra
hams their meeting place.
Every year on alumni weekend Gra
hams is a beehive of activity. Thous
ands of “old grads** make Grahams
their first stop in State College. A
quick check of Grahams-guest book
would show visits from as far back
as the class of 1892.
Mr. Graham Says:
"Students have been my life
and it has been an enjoyable
one. Six of my children I'attend
ed the college so I knew pretty
well what the students wanted,
and I tried to give itvto them.
If you take care of the students
they'll lake care of you. .
Established 1896
