Lion Tennis Team Meets Tough Colgate Away Currently riding a two-match winning streak; Penn State's twice-defeated tennis team will trek to Hamilton, N. Y., today to meet a veteran Colgate squad. There is a good possibilit y however, that the veteran laden Colgate aggregation will make the sailing rough. White Sox Snap Yanks' Home String The Chicago White Sox snapped the New York Yanks' home winning streak at ten games and the Boston Red Sox dropped the Cleveland Indians into sixth place in the only two American League after no on games. Eddie Stewart, a fill-in out fielder for the White Sox, parked a four-run homer into the right- field stands to blast the Yankees, 7-4, and snap a Yankee Stadium win streak that began last Sept. 26. Lefthander Billy Pierce went all the way for the Chicagoians, chalking up his fourth victory. McDermott Wins After eight relief appearances, lefty Maury McDermott made his first 1951 start for the Red Sox and striking out nine, turned in a 2-1 victory.- A pinch hit single by Vern Stephens with the bases loaded in the eighth enabled McDermott to take honors in his frigid pitching duel with righthander Mike Gar cia. Not an Indian reached third against McDermott until h e opened the, ninth by passing Larry Doby. Then, with one out, Al Rosen and Sam Chapman belted successive singles to dash the Boston portsider's shutout hopes. Phillies Blasted In the National League, the Chicago Cubs unloosed a bom bardment of 17 hits, including three home runs and seven doubles, to subfferge the Phila delphia Phillies, 18-9. It was such a spectacle as the Cubs have not staged since a day iust five years ago—on May 18, 1946—when they bludgeoned the Giants, 19-3, and left them hori zontal in the pit besides Coogan's bluff in New York. The Cubs lambasted four Philly pitchers—Leo Cristante, Bob Mil ler, Milo Candini and Ken Johnson—for a total of 33 bases. Penn State will field an inter collegjate football team in 1951 for the sixty-fifth consecutive year. —Collegian Photo by McNeillie By JOHN SHEPPARD With ,four victories from last year's team, which won 15 and lost 3, forming the nucleous, Coach Perry Rockafeller's team is rated among the top squads which the Lions have faced this season. Captain Bill Lust, considered one of the best net players in the East, heads the Colgate roster. Other returning lettermen are Ed Stern, Bob Barker, Stew Picknell, and Dick Millar, who was ineligible last year. 'The Colgate lineup was further bolstered when sophomores Ben Bishop and Bob Moller. made the varsity squad., Both were stand outs on the Red Raiders' frosh team last year. Bishop was a finalist in last season's National Indoor Junior net championships. Of the list of lettermen pre viously mentioned, Stern, Lust, Barker, an d Picknell posted triumphs in last year's 8-1 victory over the Nittanies. Captain Lust, who usually plays at the No. 1 post, has been switched to the second slot. This change resulted because of the play of sophomore Bishop, who now is the No. 1 performer. Forced to revamp his starting cast several times in the„past few weeks, Coach Sherm Fogg will start the same men who won the Lions', first four matches. Landon No. 1 Captain Owen Landon will be the No. 1 racket-wielder for State. Dick Wieland will play as No. 2 man. The rest of 'the starting singles lineup should see Bill Aiken, Ed Davis, Bill Wood. and Gus Bigott in action. TOday's contest will be the first for Bigott since the Western Maryland tilt two weeks ago. He has been sidelined with an elbow injury. In the doubles, Captain Lan don will side with Wieland to form the No. 1 duo. Aiken will team with Davis in the No. 2 dou bes combo, and Wood and Bigott will perform for State in the final doubles event.

Feller Given Court Assist By Boudreau BOSTON, May 18 (iP)—Bob Fel ler, Cleveland Indians, fireballing baseball pitcher, got a courtroom assist from ex-teammate Lou Boudreau today as he defended himself against a $3,000 breach of contract suit. Boudreau, now with the BostOn Red Sox, was a defense witness in the civil action brought by John Jenner and. John W. Ward for . the Boston firm of Jen-U- Ware. - The company contends Feller failed to fulfill a personal appear ance contract in connection with a sale of their shirts—bearing the pitcher's likeness and facsimile signature. Feller admitted his failure to appear at the William Taylor and Co., store in Cleveland June 26, 1948 but contended his contract with the Boston firm provided that any appearance should not "interfere" with his baseball play ing. Boudreau testified that Feller got off to a very poor start in the 1948 season. He said that he, as manager, and then Indians' Pres ident Bill Veeck told Feller that he had too many outside activities on the fire and they possibly were hurting his playing. Feller, tanned and husky; told Superior Court Judge Eugene A. Hudson that Veeck left him a pointed memo June 16, 1948 sug gesting he cut out "your extra curricular activities" and get back "to your principal occupa tion—namely pitching for the Cleveland Indians." Two New Rivals Penn State will meet Texas Christian and Wisconsin on the gridiron for the first time in 1953.
