rm. SATURDAY, ABRIL 5, }952 Between the Lions While most students are home enjoying Easter, vacation next week Coach Joe Bedenk’s baseball men will be opening their ’52 season down south in Washington, D.C. The team plays American U. Friday and then opposes Georgetown in a doubleheader Saturday afternoon. If the Lions, get favorable weather this spring they should be set for quite a year. Bedenk has a situation somewhat similar to' -that of wrestling Coach Speidel, since several of last year’s regulars are having a tpugh time making the team. The Nittanymen will ..be especially strong at shortstop. Last year’s regular, Paul Mowry, has not practiced with the squad yet as 'he is' student teaching. When he does return, Mowry will have a difficult task dispelling Carmen Troisi, who was ineligible last season. Another possibility is Ron Weidenhammer, freshman basket ball standout from Kutztown, who has been impressive in pre-season drills. Huby Kline, who has advanced from the freshman ranks, has • the hot corner assignment now, but Bedenk may .ke a shift to insert more power in his lineup. :denk could do one of two things: move one of ! shortstops to third, or move Cris Tonery in >m left field. Tonery started at third last year, it broke his ankle in the opening game. [f the capable Lion mentor makes the latter ift, it would give his nine a more experienced im. He could insert Bob Schoellkopf, a reserve it year, into left. Teamed with Sil Cerchie in .inter, and hard-hitting Bill Hopper in right, this would present a formidable array of sluggers. Catching may be, Bedenk’s biggest problem. The team has depth and quantity but not quality. Bill Leonard, Gus Vogt, Matt Yano sich, and Bill Hirschj are capable, but none is outstanding. Leonard, who will probably wind up as the number one backstop, has been bothered by a lame arm. None of the foursome can match the all around throwing and hitting ability of Clarence Buss, last year’s catcher, but of course that’s asking a lot. * * * * | The baseball squad lists six athletes who have starred in other -sports. Catchers Matt Yanosich and Bill Leonard and hurler Keith Vesling gre members of the football.team; Ron Weidenhammer and > first-sacker Jim Blocker performed for Elmer Gross’ basketball team, and Jack Krumrine is one of the soccer team’s goalies. Pitching Bright Spot On Cincinnati Club WILMINGTON, N. C., April 4—(AP)—Lack of speed and punch to back up the pitching of Ewell Blackwell, Herm Wehmeier and Ken Raffensberger leaves the Cincinnati Reds among the also-rans in the National League picture. ' Pitching is the one bright spot on the club that figures no better than its sixth place finish of last year, Manager Luke SeWell believes he bolstered his catching by add ing Andy Seminick and picked up a little extra base power in Dick Sisler. He counts on a revival by first- baseman Ted Kluszewski, whose ’5l slump mystified the en tire league. “I figure we have more , power in the outfield with Sisler and Hank Edwards,” said Sewell. ‘‘Our catching definitely is better, our pitching about the same and our infield hp worse than last year.” ' . The infield has been a prime problem for Sewell, particularly after second baseman Connie Ryan went to Philadelphia in the Seminick deal. Sewell did an overhaul job during spring train ing, converting third > baseman Grady Hatton into a second base man. “Bobby-Adams is'one of the best third basemen in the league and Hatton can do a job for us at' second. If Kluszewski con tinues his foot spring work our infield will be all right.” Roy McMillan, a fine glove man who hit oly .211 in'Bs games last year as a rookie, - will be the shortstop if he can hit.

Johnny Wyrpstek is sure of his right field job and Joe Adcock ap pears to have beaten off Sisler’s challenge for the regular left field work. Filling center field has been one of Sewell’s worries-for three years. With Lloyd Merriman in service, he has to do it all over again.'Wally Post, a .308 hitter at Buffalo with speed and a .fine arm, is battling with Bob Borow ski, ex-Cub, fpr the job. < Arnelle Honored By Opponents Jesse Arnelle, Penn State’s .great freshman center, was the only un animous choice on Gettysburg’s all-opponent basketball team.' „• Other players selected to the Bullets’ opponent five were Howie Landa, Lebanon Valley; Dick Dunn, F&M; Dick Rudolph, Muh lenberg; and_Joe Gallagher, Buck nell.

Everyone says they should do it every year, but they they don’t. Must take up pitching slack left by Newcombe’s depar ture, and think of last year’s fail ure as only a bad dream. This has to be the year, or the Bums will be bums. Boston Braves—A hazy picture. Could be a surprise, team under energetic Tommy Holmes, but have bad hole at second base and not too much depth in pitching. Holmes will keep ’em hustling, and don’t be surprised if he rushes into action himself if things aren’t going, right. Philadelphia Phillies—Penitent and resentful.
