Foggrnen Oppose
Juniata In Home
Opening Match
Riding a two-match winning
skein, Coach Sherm Fogg’s tennis
squad will make its 1951 home
debut this afternoon when it en
counters Juniata on the varsity
courts.
The fray will start at 3:30.
Beating their first two oppo
nents (Bucknell and Georgetown)
by the same score, 6-3, the Fogg
men v/iil be facing the “breather”
on their 13-game card, before
tangling with a veteran-laden Pitt
team in their second home game
of the week on Saturday after
noon.
After meeting the Panthers, the
Lions will host Bucknell in a re
turn contest, and Maryland. If all
fares well, the Nittany racquet
men should keep their winning
streak in tact. Last season they
won all seven of their home
matches, while dropping three on
the road.
The State netters will be play
ing Juniata for the first time; and
in short, the Juniatamen should
be in for a time of their lives as
they will be playing out of their
class.
Tribe Wins
In their latest match the Tribe
pulled a 9-0 win over a weak In
diana STC. Juniata’s netmen had
dropped 13 straight since 1947.
During '4B, ’49 they dropped the
sport.
Coach Fogg expressed deep sat
isfaction with the performance of
his star-studded aggregation in its
first two conquests, and was par
ticularly impressed with the high
spirit and hustle that his charges
have been demonstrating.
For the first time in his four
years at the helm, Coach Fogg
has that ever important “depth,”
and his crop of wealth is very
evenly distributed, making it dif
ficult for him to give the new
comers an opportunity to perform.
Forrey Loses
Sophomore Bill Forrey was the
first of the new hopefuls to breax
into the starting lineup. Forrey
playing against the Bisons,
dropped his two sets, 6-8, 4-6.
However, his veteran opponent
had to fight right down to the
wire before claiming the victory,
as the Lansdowne prospect regis
tered several aces to extend the
sets before losing out.
Captain Owen “Sonny’.’ Lan
don will get the call to toil as the
No. 1 man for State. Landon, who
suffered his third setback in 23
successive matches against the Bi
sons last Saturday, will be raring
to go.

Lions' Best Bets At Relays
If you want to wager on Penn State’s chances :
bets are the Lions’ four-mile relay team and either
Herb.
Fritts, bothered by the highjumpers nemesis of
already but in last year’s Relays he could, only do 6’
Vic may take the gold medal.
Hot and cold jumping has dogged Herb also
jump of 6’ 7” but only needed 6’ 5”
to take the indoor IC-4A champ
ionship. That height could win on
Saturday.
On paper, 4-mile relayers are a
cinch to regain the title they held
for three straight years until Penn
edged them last year,
Second Last Year .
Bob Parsons, Don Ashenfelter,
Bill Ash, and Bob Freebairn will
carry the baton for a mile each
on Saturday. The same quartet
took second last year.
Despite Coach Werner’s natural
fears about them even winning,
more keen interest develops over
whether or not they will break
the Carnival record which stands
at 17:16.1 for the four miles.
440 Relay
Seeking to retain the 440 relay
championship for the Nittanies on
Friday will be Bill Lockhart, Bill
Lauer and Guy Kay. The same

go in the half-mile relay 40 min
utes later on Friday.
Guy Kay will be running in the
Friday meet opening 400 meter
hurdles against the East’s best.
Not up to Chuck Drazenovich’s
best heaves last year, Tom Mc-
Dermott, Dick Cripps, and Bob
Krayer will heave the shot and
discuss both on Friday.
Two Mile Run
Dud Foster and Jack St. Clair,
who have both hit around 9:45 so
far, are scheduled for the two
mile run Friday.
In the Friday distance. medley,
Don Ash or Parsons will go 880,
Locky or Lauer, 440, Freebairn
% of a mile (Bob did the distance

Lacrosse Team's
4th Period Fade
Surprises Thiel
The way Penn State fell apart
against Loyola of Baltimore in its
home-opening lacrosse contest of
the year has caused much con
cern in the Lion coaching camp.
As Coach Nick Thiel put it:
“The boys played terrific ball for
three quarters. In that time, we
piled, up a 12-6 lead. The way we
were playing practically convinc
ed me the game was won. I didn’t
figure Loyola to score more than
three goals in the final period
the "Way they were playing; and
even three would have been a
lot. After they tied the count at
12-12, I still figured that it would
take them an overtime period to
lick us.”
Team Relaxed
Assistant Coach John McHugh
shook his head in half disgust and
half amazement and said: “The
boys relaxed at a time when they
should have been fighting for
all they were worth. I suppose
they were a little tired though.”
This .week Coach Nick Thiel’s
crew will go at the scrimmages
“hot and heavy.” Thiel, empha
sized that, the Lions will also
work a lot on ground balls. Prac
tice on ground balls will better
condition the Lions as this type
of play involves much running.
Wilcox Scores 5
Even though State lost, how
ever, the Lions did exceptionally
well in the offensive department.
In the first three quarters, they
rolled up 12 counters. John Wil
cox had five of these. Paul Raf
fensperger. also chipped in with
three.
Penn State will take on the
University of Pennsylvania this
Saturday. The Lions should not
have too much trouble with this
contest as Penn had little last
year and this year’s squad offers
little in the hope of bettering last
season’s mark.
Defeated W. Chester
The Quaker city crew thus far
thi season has won one while
dropping two. Penn defeated a
weak West Chester squad, but
they lost two tilts to Swarthmore
and Harvard. Haryard gave the
Quakers a 18-1 shellacking.
The match with Penn will be
the second of four consecutive
contest that the Lions will have
at home. After Pennf will come
always powerful Syracuse and
th4n will follow the Maryland La
crosse club.
Major League
Attendance Drops
NEW YORK, April 24 (IP)
Blame it on the weather, TV,
General MacArthur or the cost
of living, but major league base
ball attendance is off some 22 per
cent for the, first week-of the
season.
Actually more home dates were
played this year than last, 45 to
40,’ and there were fewer post
ponements, 13-8, than last spring.
The two-league total for the
week was 673,306 as compared to
769,068 in 1950, a drop of 95,762.
Figured on a per game basis, the
percentage drop is roughly 22
per cent.
American league figures show
the most marked decline, particu
larly at Boston, Detroit and St.
Louis. Both the Red Sox and
Tigers are off more than 35,000
for their first three home dates.
