PAGE SIX Blues Triumph In Water Bucket Bowl, 7-0 Anders Scores Lone 6-Pointer In Alumni-Sponsored Skirmish Spring training in the Nittany football camp. came to a close Saturday afternoon on the State College High School Memorial Field when Coach Al Michaels' Blue team ground out a rugged 7-0 victory over Coach Earl Bruces' White squad in the Water Bucket Bowl. The small crowd which gath ered to witness the alumni-spon sored intrasquad game saw sophomore fullback Paul Anders go 15 yards off left tackle for the touchdown, climaxing a drive which started on the Blue eight yard line and carried 92 yards in eight plays. Bill Hockersmith kicked the extra point. Whites Move The White team wasted no time after the Blue score in mak ing their strongest scoring bid of the day. On third down quarterback Bob Szajna let go a long pass intended for Johnson, streaking down the sideline. The pass was true and it appeared that John son .would take it inside the ten, but the ball bounded from his arms and the threat was ended. The game started without a kickoff, with the Whites in pos session on their 35. On the sec ond play from scrimmage Szajna threw a pass which was caught by Herb Raifsnider, an ineligible receiver, who fumbled when he was hit. The Blues recovered rtnd declined the penalty. Blues I-;alied Anders and Ted Shattuck then gained up to reel off three first downs and take the ball deep into enemy territory. The White line, however, rose to the occasion and halted the Blue drive on 'the 12 yard line. At this point little Dick Jones, a speedy halfback up from the frosh team, began a dazzling ex hibition of running which he con tinued all afternoon. Jones raced to the 25 on the first play and then teamed with Johnson to move the ball across midfield to the Blue 29 where Szajna fum bled a f ter being hit by guard Porky Millhouse. The Blues could pick up only "-.lur yards in three attempts and •,cr.2.re forced to punt. Intercepted Pass The Whites made a first down on a pass, Szajna to Joe Yukica. 'Then Szajna faded to pass again, but his toss fell into the un friendly arms of a Blue defender on the eight Yard line, where the touchdown drive began. Shortly after the start of the second half the Whites recovered a fumble by Matt Yanosich on their own 45. After racking up three first downs the Whites came to a halt on the Blue 20. On last down with a mere foot to go the Whites sent Captain Len Shepharcl into the line. But the big fullback was stopped inches short of the first down, and another threat was ended. Blocked Kick The Whites got another crack at the pigskin when end Dave Simon br6ke through to block a Blue kick and pounce on the ball on the Blue 34 yard line. The most the Whites could do, hOwever, was lose four yards and throw two incomplete passes, and the Blues took over and retained possession until time ran out.

Grubb By 808 VOSBURG Stickmen Lose,l3-10 To Syracuse By TOM SAYLOR Erratic shooting and some bril liant goal play by Herb Mendel son combined to give Syracuse's lacrosse team a well-earned 13-10 victory over Penn State on the golf course Saturday' afternoon. The loss for Nick Thiel's Lions set their record at 2-3, while the win for the' Orange gave them an identical record. The Lions had many opportun ities to win Saturday's contest, but when their shots were accur ate Mendelson was there to stop them. Time and again, the New York goalie came up with saves to put the skids to the Lion at ; tack. Mendelson stopped 20 shots, six more than the Lion goalie, Phil Benedetti. Podbielski Scores 5 Nevertheless, the Lions "should have iced the game," as Syracuse Coach Roy Simmons put it, and they might have but for an at tackman named Jack Podbielski. He was all alone in his team's scoring. He tallied five times, mostly at crucial spots. It was Podbielski who gave the upstaters their first lead in the game when he netted two goals to break a 1-1 deadlock in the first quarter. Before that, State had started fast with Bud Wolfram snaring a pass from "Doak" Walk er, to score at 0:29. However, one of Podbielski's running mates at attack, John Echeandia, broke the stalemate just one minute later. Goals by Paul Raffensperger and Jack Wilcox, the first of his four, created a 3-3 tie, at the quarter. It was Podbielski again who sandwiched two goals around one by teammate Pete Kilgus to give the Orange another tie at six. All of this happened after State vaulted back into the lead on three consecutive tallies by Al Fulton. The three Syracuse goals came inside of 30 seconds. Wil cox's goal sent the Lions back into the lead, but goals by Bob Brown and another by the troublesome Podbielski returned the lead to the New Yorkers. Podbielski's tally was his last, but from then on it was Syracuse all the way. Syracuse Leads. 11-8 Syracuse pulled away to an 11-8 three-quarters lead when Co-Captain John DeNicola found the range for two fast goals early in the period and Harry Abbott contributed another at 42:40. Raffensperger's 20-footer was the lone State tally this period. The best the Lions could do in the final stanza was two tallies, both by Wilcox. However, the Orange matched these on shots by Kilgus and Echeandia. Next Saturday, the Lions will play an exhibition match with the Maryland Lacrosse Club.

PE:N'NSYLVANIA 6-6 ~Tie John Lawther Accepts Mexican Cage Offer After successfully coaching Penn State basketball for 13 years between .1937 and '49, John D. Lawlher, has accepted an invitation to teach basketball to Mexicans—in Spanish, too. The 51-year-old Lawther, who coached at Westminster before coming to Penn State, retired from coaching in '49 to devote full time to teaching. Lawther has conducted clinics south of the border on previous occasions so when the College board of trustees granted him a six-month sabbatical leave he eagerly accepted in order to teach the Mexican youths who "have gr Mexico City on July Ist to begin his teacher-coach tour of Mexico for the National Sports Federa tion. His leave will be effective until the beginning of the 1952 Spring semester. Lawther, who coached th e Mexican national five prior to the recent Pan-American games, will organize the basketball sport first on the public school level but conduct clinics for players and coaches at the same time. Mexico's National Sports Fed eration (comparable to the Ameri can AAU), extended the invita tion to Lawther in order to fur ther the sport among the young sters of Mexico. • Lawther is credited with being the first American ever to con duct a sports clinic in the native language of Mexico. He and his wife, who will accompany him, had to take classroom brushing up before going below the Rio Grande. Nine Opposes Navy Today Weather permitting, Coach Joe Bedenk's baseball squad will play the first of four away contests this week, when it faces Navy at Annapolis, this afternoon. The Lions will also play away encounters with Colgate, at Ham-. ilton, N.Y., Friday, and a double header with Syracuse, at Syra-. cuse, Saturday. Doubleheader Cancelled The scheduled doubleheader Saturday with West Virginia was cancelled because of rain. Old man weather has been dealing the Nittanies a rough time since the Mountaineer games were the third and fourth washed out games this season. Bedenk's team will enter to day's contest with the Midship men with a 4-2 record. Southpaw Owen Dougherty will probably start for the Lions in quest of his fourth straight victory. Lineup Changes Several lineup changes may be made today in an attempt to strengthen Bedenk's batting order. Bob Schoellkopf may start in center field in place of Sil Cer chie, who has been in a batting slump. Schoellkopf has two hits in four times at bat for a ,500 average. If a lefthander pitches for the Middies, Captain Bill Oncick may go to left field in stead of Henry Albright. Terps Upset Undefeated Netmen, 5-4 By JOHN SHEPPARD One winning streak was pro longed, and another was snapped on the varsity courts Saturday afternoon when the Maryland tennis team duplicated last year's upset victory over State's pre viously unbeaten netters, 5-4. It was the first defeat in six contests for Coach Sherm Fogg's proteges. On the other hand, the Terps, after losing their first match of the season to Navy, have won nine straight, owning a 10-1 log. The Nittanies started off in high gear as Captain Owen Lan-. don won his first set over Harold Fallenbaum, 6-1. The lanky den tal student, however, came back to take the second, 2-6. Neverthe less, the Lion ace staged a sparkling rally as his low swift drives, and drop shots, netted him- a 6-1 last set triumph. Wieland Cops State's number 2 man, Dick Wieeland, won his first set from Melvin Hayett, 6-1. In an extend ed second set which saw the lead exchange hands several times, Hayett, tripped the Allentown netter, 6-8. However, Wieland copped the third set, 6-2, when his well placed back-court drives, and volleys proved fatal to Hayett. The Terps' undefeated John McCool, downed Bill Aiken, 0-6. The bespectacled net star also won the second set, 1-6. As a result of his two conquests, Mc- Cool has extended his present winning streak to 18 consecutive victories. Then Lindy Kehoe, put an end to Ed Davis' five match winning skein, routing Davis, 1-6, 3-6. Maryland's Lee Childs over whelmed Bill Wood in three straight sets. His scores were, 4-6, 6-4, 1-6. Jim Osteen, Maryland's No. six man, spoiled Charley Shank's de but, winning 3-6, 3-6. In doubles activity Captain Lan don teamed with his able side kick, Wieland, to to defeat Tom Beight and Fallenbaum in two straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. The twosome of Aiken and Da vis knotted the match score at four all when they subdued Hay ett and McCool, 6-4, 6-0. However, it was only tied tem porarily, for the Roylemen's Ke hoe and Childs trimmed veteran Wood and sophomore Bill Forrey in their• first set, 2-6. In the final set, State's third doubles combin ation led 5-4 at one point in the set, but the veteran Maryland combo regained first set form to cop the event, 5-7. Today the Nittany tennis corn bine will face Western Maryland at Western Maryland, and to morrow they will encounter a strong Navy aggregation at An napolis.

With a little persuasion from one of our journ profs who urged us to try our hand at -scoring one of these events, and with the de sire to catch a glimpse, of this unbeaten net crew, we, journeyed to the varsity courts. Since we had never witnessed a tennis match before, much less scored one, we had little idea of what was in store for us. Learning from one of the managers on which court the number one match would be played, and figuring that the number one match would be good enough for us, we squatted on the grass outside the wire fence, whipped out copy paper and pen cil and got set to go. Even though it was our first match, we were not completely lacking tennis knowledge. We knew where the net and the out of-bounds lines were. And• we knew the racket from the ball. We also were slightly aware of several technical terms such as out, placement, ace, fault, net ball and service. The two players walked to the court, introduced themselves, and took their places to start the match. Right here something hit us. Where was the referee? Per haps, we thought, he is in some obscure place out of sight of players and fans. But as - the match continued we became ful ly aware that there was. no ref eree. Here was the honor system at work. Two players from rival schools battling it out in a tennis match, and by mutual agreement with no referee. In• what other sport, we won dered, would this be possible? In what other sport could of ficials be done away with and the participants call the plays? We tried to picture Russ Meyer calling balls and strikes with Eddie Stanky at bat, and we couldn't quite see it. To picture Stanky agreeing with him was even harder to conceive. We then turned to football and tried to imagine the outcome if a huge tackle, after paving the way for a touchdown run by one of his teammates, suddenly jumped up and nullified the run and score, admitting that he had clipped an opposing player. And lastly we tried to think of the change that would come over the teetering game of bas ketball if a player should emerge from a rebound tussle under the basket claiming "I fouled that man," and then lead that player to the other end of the floor for his foul shot. Perhaps this is a little over done, and then again maybe it isn't. For these tennis men value their wins just as much as the baseball players, gridders, or cagers. Yes, in our first trip to the tennis courts we discovered something that was missing from any other sport we had ever watched. Tennis is "the gentle- man's game." Michigan St ate boxing coach George Makris calls Chuck Spie ser ,his 175-pound NCAA boxing champ,' "the best college or ama teur boxer I've ever seen." Spie ser ,a junior at State, was on the U. S. Olympic team in 1948.
