place standing. Charles Moore,
Cornell, was the winner in 51.8
Place Second
The Lion 880-relay team placed
second 'bghind Duke in the first
trial heat in 1:29.8. However, on

heats they were disqualified from
the finals. Polito was injured
slightly in this race when after
completing a diving pass of the
baton he fell and suffered brush
burns. •
In the 2-mile run, Jack St. Clair
broke away to a good start and
led the pack for three laps, but
he then lost his stuff and faded
back to 13th. He put on a last
ditch sprint and managed to pull
into 10th place, finishing in 9:51.
Defending champion Dick Shea
of Army broke the tape in 9:11.9
to set a new carnival record.
Lose Heart-Breaker
The Lions lost a hearbreaker
in the distance medley race. Lead
off man, John McCall, shot to
the front quickly, and looked like
a good bet to give the Lions a
lead, but because of a mixup at
the starting line the runners were
called back. '
McCalls' second start was not
nearly as good and he finished
far back. Bob Freebairn and Bill
Ashenfelter made a futile effort
to make up the lost time and fin
ished eighth. Favored George
town was the winner in 10:12.
McCall covered the half-mile
in 21.8, Lockhart did the quarter
mile in .51, Freebairn finished the
three-quarter-mile in 3:14, and

MulbryQuits
As Baseball
Sec.-Treas.
CINCINNATI, April 27 (IP)
Walter Mulbry jumped the gun on
his own resignation as secretary
treasurer of baseball today,
walked out of his office and pur
posely paved the way for a new
deal in the management of the
national pastime.
The executive council of base
ball was told that Commissioner
A. B. Chandler would not resign
—following failure of reelection—
unless Mulbry, former friend, now
bitter enemy, got out of the pie
tUre.
Mulbry did so loday. His formal
resignation was presented to the
executive council on March 12.
The council asked him to stay on
the job. Today, he said he had had
enough of his $30,000 a year job.
That followed word from New
York yesterday that Chandler told
the council he would quit a year
ahead of the end of his seven
year contract only after Mulbry
left. His $65,000 a year tenure
ends April 30, 1952. Baseball club
owners offered to pay the con
tract.
Chandler, at his home in Ver
sailles, Ky., told a reporter that
he had appointed George Denman
to Mulbry's job. Denman, a former
private detective in Chicago has
been with the commissioner's. of
fice since it was established under
the late Federal Judge K. M. Lan
dis.
AI close friend of Chandler said
tonight he did not expect the
commissioner to quit soon, despite
the fact that club owners had of
fered to pay him off in full.
Soph Pitcher
Ruled Ineligible
Penn State's chances for East
ern baseball supremacy received
another ko 1 t yesterday when
Coach Joe Bedenk learned that
sophomore pitcher, To m Camp
bell, will be ineligible for the re
mainder of the season.
Campbell was ruled ineligible
because of an academic deficiency.
His loss will weaken the Lion
pitching corps since Bedenk was
counting on th e right-handed
hurler for intensive relief work.
"He's got a terrific amount of stuff
for three or four innings," Be
denk said.
The mittmen have had tough
going all year. Before the season
started Car men Troisi, hustling
shortstop, wa s sidelined because
of a grade deficiency. Then in the
fir s t game of the season Chris
Tonery, hard hitting third base
man, broke his
,ankle and will be
lost for the remainder of the year.

They might as well be beating Mickey Mantle with sticks 'or
dipping him in hot tar or using his hide for a dart board as to heap
on him scathing insinuations that he is a first-grade flop as a major
league bajl player.
Michigan Slaters
Set Relay Mark
A quartet of surprising milers
from Michigan State College to
day blazed to a new four mile
relay record in the opening of the
42nd annual Drake Relay carni
val.
The Spartans, with Warren
Drukzler running a 4:15.8 anchor
mile, snatched victory from Wash
ington State College in 17.21.2 to
knock eight and four tenth sec
onds off the Drake record of
17.29.6 established by Oklahoma
A .& M 12 years ago.
Druetzler's margin at the finish
over Washington's Bill Parnell
mile champion of the British em

finished third with Arkansas
fourth and Missouri fifth.
Druetzler was scratched from
the two mile to 'conserve his
speed for the four mile triumph.

NEW YORK, April 27—(LP)—Hey, why doift they lay off the kid?
A flop after eight or nine games, in which he hit .232. Joe Di-
Maggio was hitting ~229, and
Johnny Mize .167, but the flop is
Mickey Mantle: With DiMag and
Mize it's just a slump. Maybe a
19-year-old kid isn't entitled to
slumps.
It isn't as if Mantle was a fog
horn-Voiced braggart who assail
ed the ears of everyone within
miles with stories of what he had
done and promises of what he
would do.

Here's a nice, quiet kid who
never said anything about his
abilities. Any reputation he has
was acquired through his feats,
which were embellished until the
fans expected him to hit more
runs every weekday and twice
on Sundays.
It wasn't his fault he was rated
the hottest rookies to come along
since DiMaggio. He would just
as soon have been rated just an
other kid. Ignored, even. Thep the
pressure would have been off.
But he could hit the ball a
country mile, and he could run
like a scared antelope, and you
just can't hide such attributes.
Consequently his name practically
was plastered on barns and tele
phone poles to prepare the folks
for his arrival. It's been a long,
long time since a ball player re
ceived such a buildup before he
ever played a major league game.
Looked Confident
We saw him in his first couple
of games, and were duly impres
sed. We saw a well-set-up young
fellow who stood up there at the
plate with an outward show, of
confidence, even if you knew
moths were fluttering around. in
his, stomach and the hands that
gripped the bat were moist and
clammy. Remember when you
were 19 years old? Just - imagine
yourself at that age playing for
the first time in. Yankee Stadium,
whose awesome magnitude gives

Little Sets Pace
Special to the Daily Collegian
Coach Joe Bedenk's hopes for
an NCAA post-season , playoff
berth received a shot in the arm
when his Nittany diamondmen.
defeated Eastern contender Rut
gers, 2-1, at New Brusnwick,
yesterday.
Southpaw Owen Dougherty
pitched near perfect ball to re
cord his second victory of the
season.' "Doc" had a no hitter
until the last of the seventh
when Rutgers collected both of
their hits to score the first run
of the game and break a shut
out battle.
Little Stars
Harry Little was the offensive
star for the Lions in their tri
umph over. George Case's 1950
NCAA District II ' champions.
Little collected a• single and a
double, half of the Nittanies total
output in the well-pitched game,
and stole home with the winning
run. Paul Lowry and, Bill
halich garnered the other safeties
off Al Willenbrock who suffered
his first loss of the year after
three straight wins.
Trailing 1-0, the Lions came
tack in the to.P . of the eight to
bunch an error, a double, an in
tentional pass, and a stolen base
to score both their runs and the
ball game. Dougherty started off
by reaching first on an error.
Hen Albright sacrificed him to
second, and Harry Little drove
a double down the left field line
to score Dougherty and tie the
score.
Bob Schoellkopf batted for Sil
Cerchie and grounded to third
and Little advanced on the put
out. Bill Hopper was given his
second intentional pass of the
game, and with Stan Laganosky
at bat, Hopper and Little worked
the double steal, with the dimu
nitive third baseman stealing
home with the winning run on a
close play.
Rutgers Scores
•• Rutgers lone tally came in the
last of the seventh. After center
fielder Jim Monaghan bounced
out to second, third sacker Rudy
Scanvel ruined Dougherty's bid
for a no-hitter as he lined a
double to left. Bob Koperwhats,
bespectacled shortstop, lined a
single to center with Scanvel
scoring the only Rutgers run.
. State will carry a 3-1 record
into today's game with Lafayette.
Until yesterday's game, Rutgers
was tied with Princeton for the
section II lead with an 8-2 rec
ord. The Scarlet's ace mounds
man, Al Stull was unable to hurl
yesterday because of a bad back.
Because of their fine showing
yesterday, the Lions will prob
ably face Lafayette's heralded
Fred Kroog, who recently hurled
a two-hitter and a no-hitter. Be
denk will counter with either Bill
Bair or Bill Everson, both right
handers.

He took a nice, level swing in

When he went down to first he
was just a blur, and we still. can
see the expression of astonishment
