Lions Drub Dickinson,ll-4
For 4th Diamond Victory
Dougherty Records
Third Win; Mowry,
Hopper Sparkle
By DAVE COLTON •
Joe Bedenk's baseball squad
collected only seven hits but de
feated Dickinson 11-4 at New
Beaver field yesterday.
The victory was the Lions'
fourth in six games this season.
Converted outfielder Owen
Dougherty recorded his third
straight win of the year although
he was relieved by righthander
Bill Brown in the eighth.
Despite the sparse number of
hits, Bedenk's team batted more
timely than in previous games/
and also took advantage of Bob
Hawley's wildness. Hawley went
the route for Dickinson, but gave
up eight walks.
Paul Mowry was outstanding
in the Nittany victory. He drove
in two runs with two singles and
made two sparkling plays in the
field. In the fifth and sixth in
nings he made one-handed stabs
to his left and threw out potential
enemy baserunners. Bill Hopper
cracked two long doubles in three
official trips to the plate to help
spark State's attack.
Steals Home
The Lions opened the scoring
in the last of the second when
catcher Clarence Buss singled to
center to score first sacker Stan
Laganosky who had walked to
open the inning. Lag had moved
to second on Mowry's sacrifice
and stayed there as Bill Mihalich
got to first on Bob Beaver's error.
On a throw to the plate after
Buss' single, Mihalich advanced
to third and then stole home
while Harry Little was at bat.
Dickinson tied the game with
two runs in the top of the third
on a walk, a fielder's choice, sac
rifice, and Joe Copeland's single.
The Lions scored an unearned
run in the last of the third. Sil
Cerchie walked, moved to second
on Hopper's sacrifice and just
kept running as first baseman
Copeland overthrew third in an
attempt to nip the speedy out
fielders.
Big Fifth Inning
State clinched the game with
six tallies in the fifth. Hopper's
long double to center, and singles
by Mowry and Mihalich were the
big blows in the scoring.
Buss made the outstanding
play of the game as he stormed
into the Lions' dugout to snare
a foul fly. Bedenk caught the
hustling backstopper to prevent
him from falling on the dugout
floor. Dougherty contributed to
his own cause with a line double.
The Lions scored twice more in
the last of the sixth. Hopper
drove another double to right
field, and Mowry got his second
straight single.
Doveghergar weakened in the
eighth and was promptly remov
ed by Bedenk. After a walk, a
single, an tirror by Mihalich and
anatber single had tallied two
runs for Dickinson, Brown came
in and rettred three straight bats
men.
The Lions play a doubleheader
with West Virginia at Morgan
town, Saturday.

by graduate manager of Penn
State athletics, H. R. Gilbert.

1953. The second will be played

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Sil Cerchie, Nittany centerfielder, is shown sliding into third
base in the third inning of yesterday's game with Dickinson which
State won 11-4. Cerchie was on first base when Bill Hopper bunt
ed, and the speedy outfielder just kept running around second.
When first sacker Joe Copeland threw wild at third, Cerchie got
up and scored the third run of the game for the Nittanies. It was
the fourth win of the season for Coach Joe Bedenk's squad.
LackOfTuneup Hurt
Trackmen At Relays
Athough Penn State's• trackmen were neither sensational nor
bad in the Penn Relays, their performances would probably have
been much better if they had had some tuneups as all the other
major colleges did.
The lack of sharpness which comes from competition
definitely hurt Lion chances in one of the East's major meets.

By JAKE HIGHTON
One of the better Penn State
performers was Guy Kay in his
first 400 meter hurdling stint.
Guy finished in a virtual dead
heat for second in his heat but
was called third by the judges.
Final standings on a time basis
placed him fifth among • top
hurdlers.
' The hard luck award of the
meet from the Lions' standpoint
goes to John McCall who started
the distance medley. Running the
half-mile leg, Mac burst out of a
pack of 15 and after 50 yards he
was striding beautifully in front.
But, a tumble caused the starter
to bring the runners back.
Mac wasn't so fortunate on the
second start and was shoved back
deep in the pack. Bill Lockhart
didn't lose any ground running
his quarter, bu t Bob Freebairn
tried to make up too much, ground
too fast.
Bob ran a• 56 quarter to start
his leg, but he burned himself
out. When Bill Ashenfelter got
the baton State was no longer a
contender.
Bob and Bill didn't make the
same mistake the next day. In the
four mile relay, despite running
behind again, they kept a level
head. Sticking to ther regular
pace, they won.
11-IS-15
It's a real temptation to catch
up fast when behind in a relay,
but the paced race is the winning
way. Freebairn and Bill Ash did
it in a dramatic fashion which
had Nittany loyalty sweating
blood until they pulled through.
Relay Flashbacks: Bill Polito
took a flying leap to get the stick
safely in John Lauer's hand in
the 880 relay trial heat . . . With
the meet running over a 'half
hour ahead of schedule the four
mile relay team, which was
warming up outside the stadium,
raced into the stadium in theatri
cal fashion to report . . . Jack St.
Clair chatted very familiarly with
starter Charlie Roeser while that
worthy gun shooter was setting
up the runners for the two mile
run . . . As good as Freebairn's
last quarter of_his mile was (60
seconds) it didn't quite match the
swift Britisher, Roger Bannister's
closing kick of 56.7.
Owen Dougherty, converted
outfielder and 1950 football cap
tain, is the only left-hander on
the Penn State pitching staff.

Collective Bargaining
Yanks, A's,

Victories
Philadelphia's reinforced Ath
letics finally won a game yester
day after losing in their last ten
starts, slamming the Detroit Ti
gers, 9-1, with an eight-run 11th
inning.
Rookie pinch hitter Lou Lirn
mer started the rally when he
smashed a bases-loaded double
off losing pitcher Dizzy Trout.
Gene Beardon entered in re
lief and before he could retire the
side, Pete Suder, Eddie Joost, and
Dave Philly drove home five
more runs to give the A's their
second win against
.12 defeats.
Minoso Brilliant
The Chicago White Sox new
f its t sacker, Orestes Minoso,
made a gaudy debut, poling a
425-foot homer in the first in
ning, but I the Pale Hose sunk
under the New York Yankee
power, 8-3.
Vic Raschi 'pitched his third
win against one defeat. although
he left the game in the seventh
in favor of Tom Ferrick.
Cliff Chambers silenced. Brook
lyn's home run chatter with six
hits and Ralph Kiner led the 15-
hit parade with his third homer
as Pittsburgh roughed-up the
Dodgers, 6-2.
Jackie Robinson, the leagtie
leqding batter, , and Gil. Hodges,
the current home run leader,
went hitless. Furillo's third-in
ning triple was the only Brooklyn
extra-baser.
Kiner's 370-foot clout into the
upper left field stands came with
George Metkovich on base in the
first inning, and the Brooks
never caught up.

Immediately after Engle made
the selections and the two coaches
had time to look over their ros
ters, the crying towel came into
vogue and the two tried to trade
a few men. But Rip quickly put
the law down. There was to be no
bargaining.
Faced with the fact that they
would have to stick with the men
they had, both Bruce and 'Mi
chaels predicted overwhelming
victories fo r their respective
teams. The coaches are expected
to make formal statements to the
press today.
