0.. A. Gettysburg Nine HereToday;Stickmen Open Lions' Dougherty To Hurl; Switch Albright To Short The Penn State baseball team will attempt to get back on the victory road this afternoon when it meets the Gettysburg college Bullets in a contest scheduled for 2:30 at the New Beaver field dia- mond. The Lions are still smart ing under the poor exhibition of baseball they put on against Ithaca on Thursday when they committed six errors and lost a 6-5 decision. Owen Dougherty is the choice of Coach Joe Bedenk to toe the slab against the Bullets.

Bill Bair started the con test and was charged with his first setback in two years. Major Change Against the Bulelts, Bedenk is also planning to make the first major change in the starting ar ray since the last week of spring practice sessions. Henny Albright, who has play ed the infield before, both in high school and a few ' games in his sophomore year, will move from his regular left-field post to shortstop replacing Paul Mowry. Mowry has not had a hit in the Nittany’s first two games, and Bedenk is complaining of the lack of some heavy slugging. Bob Schoellkopf, the left-hand ed hitting outfielder who has come through on two pinch-hit assignments, will get the call in left field. Schoellkopf rapped a triple against Western Maryland, and knocked out a single in the Ithaca battle. Hopper Leads Balters Of the regulars, right-fielder Bill Hopper has a decided edge in both the batting average and runs batted in departments. Hop per has clubbed five hits in eight official trips to the plate for a .652 mark. Three of these hits are two-baggers. He has driven home seven runs, four more than his nearest rivals, Gus Vogt and Dougherty. Gehrdes Is May Ease By JAKE HIGHTON Jim Gehrdes, fabulous record setter, is no longer hurdling for Penn State—and Nittany track Coach Chick Werner will be re minded of it every time a hurdles race is announced this season. Two days ago, however, Wer ner found something he didn’t think he had—a good hurdler in the person of Guy Kay. Looked Bleak With such tremendous shoes as the timber-topping Gehrdes’ to fill, it is no wonder the 1951 hurd ling situation looked bleak for the Lions. It looked bleak, that is, until a time trial Thursday, when Kay skimmed over the 220-low hurdles in a clocking which shaded 23 seconds. Already he isn’t far from the Gehrdes Penn State record of 22.9. May Bypass 400 Kay has been working out for the 400-meter hurdles which is the opening event on this Fri day’s Penn Relay program. He may be scratched though, since he is entered in all the sprint relay events and Werner may want to save him. This afternoon at 2:30 final trials will be helu to determine which of the nearly fifty State ba"eleggers entered in the Relays wiU compete nc:*t weekend. Only outstanding individual By LOWELL KELLER Nittany Neimen Win First Match, 6-3, Over Bucknell Despite an insufficient pre season practice, the Penn State tennis squad successfully launched its 1951 net season by edging the Bisons of Bucknell at Lewisburg yesterday afternoon, 6-3. Today’s activity should see the Foggmen tangling with George town at Washington, D. C. In recording their first triumph, the Lions captured 4 singles events, and 2 of the 3 doubles matches. Landon Wins Easily The sharpshooting captain and number one man fo'r State, Owen “Sunny” Landon, encountered little difficulty in winning over Paul Renney. Although the first game'was extended for 15 min utes, the exceptionally good back hand strokes and long drives of Landon proved too much for Renney as he lost 6-1, 6-2. Number 2 man for State, Dick Wieland, repulsed a rally by Gray Rogers, Bison captain, and copped his sets, 6-4, 6-2. Bill Reitz garnered the Bisons’ first tally as he defeated Bill Ai ken, No. 3 man, 5-7 3 6-2, 0-6. Number 4 man for the Lions, Ed Davis, registered the most de cisive victory of the afternoon, downing Nick Fchloeder, 6-1, 6-0. Wood Gets The Axe The Bucknellians added to their score, as Jim Hess van quished Bill Wood, No. 4 fob the Nittanies, 2-6, 2-6. In collegian action for the first time since 1939, ageless Gus Bi gott gave a surprisingly good ac count of himself as he routed A 1 Goss, 6-2, 6-2. Going into the doubles ac tivity with a 4-2 lead, the canny State No. 1 duo of Captain Lan don and Wieland triumphed over Rogers and Fchloeder, 4-6, 6-3, 0-1.

Phi Kappa Psi Captures Intramural Mat Crown Phi Kappa Psi’s well-balanced wrestling team ran away from the rest of the field to nab the annual IM team title.

Delta Upsilon’s 172-point aggregate also included 45 points rewarded to the second place finishers The rest of the field was far, far back.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21-, 1951 Face Loyola In Season's Home Debut Penn State’s lacrosse team will have two .objectives in mind when it opens its home season this afternoon against Loyola of Bal timore on the golf course at 2 o’clock. The Lions will try to boost their season’s mark above .500, and also ' attempt to open the home' season successfully. How ever,' State will have a tough time of it as the Greyhounds come to State College with a power-laden team spearheaded by a prolific scoring attackman in Frank Kimmel. In his. last outing, Kimmel practically beat Baltimore university single-hand edly as he tallied .no less than four goals and assisted in four others. Loyola ended Baltimore’s two-game winning streak, 13-8. Still another mainstay on the Greyhound’s squad is Tom Wag ner, who. was chosen as an hon orable mention All-American last year. Wagner is back at his' usual midfield post this year, and the Lions can expect plenty of trouble from him also. Midfield Lineup • . Coach Nick Thiel will open with Jim Fulton, John Wilcox, Bud Wolfram, or Paul- Raffen sperger at the midfield positions. The second trio of . midfielders will include Tony Eagle, John Yohman, and either Raffen sperger or Wolfram, depending upon who starts with the first trio. Fulton, however, will- only see limited action as he has a badly twisted ankle. ' ~ At the defensive spots will be Vance Scout, John Henry, and John Amber, who will replace Danny Grove. Amber also start ed against Navy and fumed in' a commendable performance. How ever, as assistant coach John Mc- Hugh put it, “Grove’s stick hand ling and clearing ability will be sorely missed.” The attack positions will be handled by John Walker, letter man Jim Reed, Bob Koons, and Ed Herring. This quartet scored five of the 17 goals against West ern Maryland. Completing the starting lineup for the Nittany Lions will be diminutive Phil Benedetti at goalie. Benedetti has a good chance for All-American hopors this year.
