PENNSYLVANIA May Grab Starting Shortstop Role Carmen Troisi Penn State’s infield set-up, which was hit hardest by graduation last June, has been given valuable insurance by the addition of Parmen Troisi to the baseball team’s roster. _ I Troisi, a senior, was ineligible last year, but has been a bright spot in the Lions’ spring practice sessions. Although Paul Mowry was the regular shortstop in 1951, Troisi may get the starting nod in the opener at American Univer sity April 11. Mowry will not return frbm practice teaching in time to get in shape for the first game. Still another newcorrier, Ron Weidenhammer,' has looked great at shortstop in practice. Weiden hammer, who sparkled for the Nittany basketball team this past winter, is fighting with Troisi all the way for the shortstop posi tion. Either one works sharply with Bill Mihalich as a double play combination. Lefty First Sacker Mihalich has met no match at second base, and looks as though he is ready to improve his .333 batting average of last year. Mike Hunchar, a freshman first baseman,; is a left-handed hitting newcomer who must battle Alex Shalkey, a junior,' for the post. Hunchar may be Coach Joe Be denk’s choice at first because he throws left-handed. Huber Kline,- a hustling sopho more, appears to be top jnan at third base. Kline fields like a veteran, but' may not wield too potent a bat. Fogg Rebuilds Tennis Squad For '52 Season Rebuilding is the key for the 1952 edition of the Penn State tennis squad as it goes into its remaining two weeks of practice. Coach Ferm Fogg’s charges will open a 12-match campaign April 25 against Western Maryland at Westminster, Md.
