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. Dough

ball on Thursday, limiting the
New Yorkers to one run and two
safeties. 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.

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.
The Phi Psi’s 245-point total, which included 75 points rewarded
for the team titlist, was 73 points
better than runner-up DU could
muster. 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. TKE took third spot
with 78 points while Phi Gamma
Delta’s 63 counters were good
enough for fourth. Rounding out
the first ten were Sigma Nu and
Phi Delta Theta with 56; ATO
and Tau Phi Delta with 50; Kap
pa Sigma with 38; and Theta
Kappa Phi with 37. ,
The individual crowns were
also a personal race between Phi
Bigott and Wood won 2-6, 6-1,
3-1, while Aiken and Davis suf
fered setbacks.
Doc Gets The Straight Scoop
Psi and DU with the former grab
bing three while the latter took
two. Tau Phi Delta, Phi Gamma
Delta, and TKE had one to their
credit.
Phi Psi’s 245 points also broke
the previous record of 225 set
by Sigma Nu in 1948. Sigma .Nu
also won the team diadem in
1947. Other winners were Phi
Delta Theta in 1949 and DU in
19.50.
The breakdown of the number
of bouts showed that there was a
grand total of 323 scheduled
bouts with 211 of them being
wrestled. The fraternities wrest
led 187. ou't of 273 while the in
dependent section- ran 24 out of
50.
Team Standings
The overall fraternity team
standing for the intramural cup
changed rather drastically. Phi
Kappa Psi scored the biggest
jump when they went from 23rd
place to the fourth spot. DU’s
172 runner-up points was enough
to take the top spot. Phi Delta
Theta dropped from the top po
sition to second while Sigma Nu
also dropped a ijotch as it slip
ped to third. Beta Theta Pi re
tained fifth position. Sigma Chi,
which was in fourth place at the
last report, dropped completely
out of the “Big Five.”

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.
