State-Pitt To
Meet Again
This Afternoon
By DAVE COLTON
Righthanded Bill Brown Came
within two outs of pitching Et
shut-out in his first start of the
season as the Lions defeated Pitt
5-2 at Beaver Field yesterday.
The two teams will play again
on Beaver Field at 2:30 p.m. this
afternoon. Bill "Ace" - Everson
will hurl for the Nittanies.
7-2 Record
Yesterday's victory ran the
Lions' victory streak to four, and
raised the season record to 7-2.
Brown, a surprise starter, be
came the third hurler to win for
Coach Joe Bedenk's team.' He
fanned five, and gave up only
four walks. After the first two
innings he was never in serious
trouble until the ninth when the
Panthers scored both their runs.
Lomond Loser
Paul Lomand ' pitched the
wholea gmeofr
whole game fo r the Panthers,
and limited the Lions to seven
hits. He walked four and struck
out two. Shortstop Paul Mowry
was the only batsman who could
collect tw o hits off the right
hander. Sil "Cerchie got the only
extra base hit for the home team,
a double in the first inning. He
was thrown out trying to stretch
his hit into a triple.
Pitt threatened in the first inn
in'g as lefffielder Steve Pavlako
vic walked and moved to third
on Pat Murphy's single to cen
ter. Brown, who works well in
the clutch, fanned the next two
batters, and forced first sacker
Bill Marhefka to pop to third.
Threaten Again
With one out in the second, the
Panthers threatened again. Dave
Devey, shortstop, got on first via
Mowi'y's error. Brown walked
catcher Ed Dzubak, bu t again
bore dOwn, and retired the next
two stickmen.
State combined three singles,
an error, and a free pays to score
three runs in the bottom half of
the second. With one down, Stan
Laganosky drove a single to cen
ter. Mowry also *singled over sec
ond, sending Lag to second. Bill
Mihalich got on first when Devey
fiimbled his hard grounder, to
fill the sacks. Backstop Clarence
Bilss then looped a single to right
center which drove two runs
across the plate and sent Miha
lich to third. The fleet-footed sec
ond baseman stole home as Al
bright was at bat for the final
run of the inning.
Increase Lead
Bedenk's 'diamondmen in
creased their lead by tallying an
other marker in the fifth. Cerchie
drew a walk from Lomond, and
stole second. Bill Hopper and La
ganosky both went out, but Mow
ry drilled his second hit over
second to score the centerfielder.
The Lions added another run
in the last of the eighth. After
Mowry popped to third, Mihalich
reached first on third baseman
Joe Ross' miscue. Buss struck out
but Brown contributed to his own
cause with a sharp single to left
center which scored Mihalich
with the Lion's fifth run.
Devey Hits Again
Hard-hitting Devey got his
'second hit to open the ninth for
Coach Ralph Mitterling's team.
Pinch hitters Kostek and Shapiro
.w en t out, but Pavlakovic
smacked a double to right-center
which ruined Brown's bid for 'a
shut-out. On a throw to the plate
Pavlakovic raced to third. Mowry
then committed his third error of
th e afternoon on Murphy's
ground ball over second, which
allowed Pitt's second run to
score.

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.

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.

2nd Weigh-In
NEW YORK, May l8—(R)
NBA Welterweight Champion
Johnny Bratton took two trips to
the scales today to make weight
for his title fight with Kid Gavi
lan tonight, but .the Chicago
thumper lost none of his confi
dence.
The cocky Negro weighed 147 11 / 8
on his first try, two ounces over
the division limit. He stepped out
to the corridor, went through a
brief warmup, and hit the 147
mark right on the head for the
benefit of Eddie Eagan, chairman
of the New York Commission.
Johnny said he was slightly over
the limit because he had eaten
breakfast.
Gavilan tipped the beam at
145%, the lightest he has scaled
in 19 months. He only had orange
juice in the morning.
At 9 p.m. (EST) they start
swinging away at_ each other in
Madison Square Garden. The

BULLETIN
ITHACA, N. Y., May 18—(11:)
Penn State's lacrosse team
chalked up its second straight
victory by blasting Ithaca •Col.
lege, 13-0, here today.
Cornell, whom Nick Thiel's
crew battles next Saturday at
Cornell, dropped a pair of
matches to its New York rivals,
12-2, and 12-9. Syracuse. on the
other hand, was a fairly easy
game for Coach Francis (Babe)
Kraus's boys as they drubbed
the Orange, 15-7.
Only Loss
The only Hobart loss was to a
strong RPI squad, 13-10. And at
that, the Engineers had to rally
in the last period to win.
Kraus's team will be headed
by no less than seven returning
lettermen. Captain Bob Demuth,
Phil Christ, Jim Dulin, Hugo
Matson, Don Linville, Steve Ber
ger, and Henry Rosenberg.
Snape Siars
Another real surprise for Ho
bart has been the -lay of fresh
man John Snape, an attackman.
Snape moved up to the varsity
as soon as the freshman rule
was removed. Another possible
starting first-year man may be
Jim Brewer, a defenseman.
Hobart will also be out for- re
venge for a rousing 16-6 licking
State handed them last year.
Last year, the New Yorkers
ended up with a 6-4 log.
Thiel's squad will be seeking
to continue its winning ways.
Last week, the Lions edged the
Maryland Lacrosse Club, 7-6, in
an overtime thriller on the golf
course.
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.
