TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1951 Woman Scribe Picks After Seeing Forbes Well, the Pirates opened another season at Forbes field last Tuesday. It wasn’t much different from any other opening day except that the cast of “.The Angels and the Pirates” was there replac ing Bing. The boos for Bill Meyer and Mayor David Lawrence were a bit more numerous than* last year, and Ralph Kiner was start ing at first base. The weather was a bit chilly and the outfield still showed signs of the wear and tear of the pro football season Loyal Fans Pittsburgh fans are loyal in a peculiar way. They keep paying money to gripe. Week after week the same people second guess, moan about sloppy playing, and swear never ,to go to the park again—but they always do. The guy sitting next to me took great pride in calling Kiner “ham bone”,. especially when, he miss ed a throw from Strickland in an attempted double play. But he changed to a pleading, “come on, Ralph”, when Kiner was up with runners on base. 'No More, Please' / Another spectator expressed his ' opinion, of Kiner’s ability around the initial sack when', after Ralph had made a gloved hand catch he said, “No more sensational plays please, Ralph.” After the Cards had scored three unearned runs in the first inning it wash’t hard to visualize . the league standings at the end of the year, and Pittsburgh in bold face' type at the bottom of the heap. Murry Dickson’s luck didn’t seem to have changed any either. Something New The first sign that it' wasn’t quite the same team came when Dillinger bunted along the third base line, not only advancing the runner but reaching first safely. The ability to execute a bunt has been lacking in many Pirate line ups. Rosey got his first chance to say, “Open the window Aunt Minnie” when Dickson found the range of Greenberg Gardens. In spite of what outsiders think, Rosey is a part. of Pittsburgh’s baseball. He is criticized for being BV-BallTeams See IM Action Only eight of the scheduled 12 IM volleyball games were played Friday, as three games were post poned and one forfeited.

Perm Stale Christian Au'n THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA By CAROLYN BARRETT ★ i ★ ★ Society's Pirate Fan Carolyn Barrett, Collegian’s new society editor and a dyed in-the-wool Pirate fan, traveled to Pittsburgh last Tuesday to watch the Pirate opener with the Cards and goes out on the limb to predict a sixth place finish for the Bucs. too partial, and too excitable plus being a lousy announcer. No. 1 Fan Rosey’s critics are justified in their attitude, but never the less the first exciting thing that hap pens at Forbes field someone al ways says, “I wonder what Rosey thinks of that one,” or “I bet Rosey is happy now.” I had to come ,to State College to-really hear anyone blast his short com ings. There weren’t many highlights in the game. Bell made a throw in to second to hold a runner on base, another phenomenon the Pirates could use more of. Dick son hit his first major league home run—maybe his luck is changing. New Marion It was strange to see Marty Marion walk to the plate to talk over ground rules instead of trot ting out to short after siiper stitiously touching third. Musial, Slaughter, and Schoendienst were there too just to prove it was the Cardinals. The Pirates won the game and I returned to State College quite content. Pittsburgh was in the midst of a winning streak, the longest of the season, and was leading the league. On the basis of this superb beginning I pre dict the team will finish sixth. - HELD OVER - ' FRANK LOVEJOY DOROTHY HART “l Was A Communist For The - HELD OVER - DAVID WAYNE • TOM EWELL “UP FRONT” Presented in cooperation with; Romance Languages Dept. “ROYAL AFFAIR” FRENCH FILM ENGLISH TITLES Pirates Sixth Field Opener Sax Sets Frosh Track Record Frosh Ollie Sax continues to burn up the cinders. In Saturday time trials he cracked the Penn State freshman record for the quarter mile with a 49.7 clock ing. Cliff St. Clair held the old mark at 50.6 in 1942. Because there are no meets for freshmen, all records set in frosh time trials will go down in the books since the trials are run off under meet conditions. Harry Mitchell pushed Sax to a 23 second 220 but Mitch could not stay up with the strong Sax in the last furlong. Best varsity (performance in the trials, was Jack St. Clair’s 9:45.2 two mile. - Saint forced the pace to a 4:44 mile and nearly held the same tempo during the “longer” second mile. Bill Ashenfelter ran his fastest mile of the outdoor season to lead Bob Freebairn home in 4:19.2. Freebairn did 4:21, frosh Don Bagby was third with a 4:24.5, and Bob Gehman (4:27) contin ued to stay with the leaders as he finished fourth.

In the ’5O footracing carnival, Nittany runners just couldn’t be kept out of the money. Gehrdes copped the 120 high hurdles. Lane “won” the 100-yard dash, but he didn’t. Pictures clearly showed him breaking the tape first but officials gave the nod tb Penn’s Ben Kreitzberg. Fastest 440 Relay Guy Kay, Gehrdes, Lane, and Bill Lockhart ran the second fast est 440 relay in Penn Relay his tory to win in 41.3. The same quartet took third in the 880 relay. Although four-mile relayers, Parsons, Freebairn, and Don and Bill Ashenfelter were upset by Penn after a three year monopoly on the event, the same four in the distance medley rounded out a banner Penn State showing at the Relays by winning third place medals.
