PAGE SIX Golfers Play Netmen Vie Inexperienced Squad Travels To Gettysburg By TED SOENS The Penn State golf team faces its first test today when Coach Bob Rutherford and squad journey to Gettysburg for the opening match of the 1952 season. Match time is 2 p.m. The seven men making the trip are Rod Ea k en, Gordon Stroup, Ed Webb, George Kried ler, Jim Lamoree, Bill Albert, and Hud Samson. Samson will serve as the alternate. Not much can be said as to. the outcome of the match as six of the squad will be - playing their first College match. Samson is the only letterman on the traveling squad and of the other two let termen back from last year's team, Captain Bob Bowers did not qualify to make the trip. John Wylie was injured and will be out the rest of the season. "I don't know how these boys will hold up in competition play," Rutherford said, "I've only seen a few of them in action." Since the course only opened two weeks ago there wasn't much time for the team to practice and the lit tle time they did have was marred by bad weather." To determine the squad mem bers, a ser i es of elimination matches was run off between the candidates. Warr en Gittlen, a promising freshman, was expected to make the trip but an injury to his hand has prevented him from playing. Before playing the Bullets the Lions will play a few practice rounds of golf at the Gettysburg Country Club course. The Lion golfers last season finished with a record of six wins and three losses. They lost twice to Georgetown and once to Navy. The Lions also entered the E astern Intercollegiate Golf Tournament last spring, and turned in a 665 card to finish in a seventh place tie with a George town team they had previously beaten 7-0. Last year the sport was threat ened with extinction when, in an economy move, the sport was dropped from the athletic program along with rifle, fencing, swim ming, and skiing. Last October it was reinstated. Today's event is the first of a six-match schedule which fea tures only two home contests. The schedule: Saturday, Cor nell at Ithaca, N.Y.; May 7, Pitts burgh at Pittsburgh, Pa.; May 10-12, the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Tournament at Annapolis, Md.; May 15, Bucknell at State College; May 17, Navy at State College; and May 24, Colgate at Hamilton, N.Y. Baseball Parade CHICAGO, April 29 (JP)—Ex-sergeant Curt Simmons, three weeks out - of the Army, today made a smooth comeback to big league baseball with a 7-hit performance which gave the Philadel phia Phils an 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. The 22-year-old lefthander, who had made•his last previous start for the Phils on Sept. 9, 1950, showed much the same effective ness that made him a 17-game winner in his shortened 1950 cam paign. The entire Phily bench rushed out to congratulate Simmons af ter he had retired the last Cub. Phil Manager Eddie Sawyer apparently knew 'Curt was ready. So did the Cubs after solving Simmons for only one extra base blow, rookie catcher Harry Chi ti's first major league homer with none aboard in the seventh. Simmons didn't seem quite as fast as before his -ervice hitch, but his curve ball was masterful and his control was extremely steady. He issued only one walk, that in the seventh after Chiti's homer. ' The Phils backed him with. a Nittany Racquetteers • —PhotoSchroe PENN STATE'S 1952 version of Sherm Fogg' by s tennis er team will make a belated start of the season today at Bucknell.

Ist Match; at Bucknell Bisons Host For Nittany Tennis Opener By GEORGE BAIREY With any sort of favorable break in the weather, the 1952 edition of the Penn State ten nis squad will take to the courts against Bucknell today at Lewisburg for its third at tempt after two false starts to break into the winners col umn. Match time is 3:30 p.m. Last week's scheduled openers with Western Maryland and Maryland were canceled due to the rainy weather. Two singles positions were de cided in yesterday's final elimina tion tune-ups. Dick Gross retained the number four job by turning back Bill Ray in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, and sophomore Dez Long pulled all the strings in a minor upset over letterman Bill Forrey. Long, last season's fraternity IM doubles champ, won the right to play in the number five singles spot by outlasting Forrey in three sets, 1-6, 6-1, 8-6. Ziegler Number Three Coach Sherm Fogg has vamped his starting lineup slightly for the Bison curtain-raiser by ele vating Captain Ed Davis to the number-one singles slot in place of Bruz Ray. Ray will go at the number two position. Hardhitting young Bill Ziegler will open at the number three singles position, while ageless Gus Bigott will remain at the number six slot. Gross and Long will han dle the number four and five jobs for the opener. • Davis and Ray, Doubles The Bison meet will be the first plank in Fogg's painstaking 're building process as three of his top six performers will see var sity intercollegiate competition for the first time. Ray, at number two, Ziegler, at number three, and Long. at number five, will get, their first taste of collegiate tennis today. The doubles program will re main almost the same for Buck nell as it was to be for fhesrained out matches.

Probable number two and three duos are Bill Ray-Ziegler and Bi gott-Long. The Lions will be out after their sixth consecutive win over the Bisons. The last time the Buck nell crew decisioned State was in 1949 at Lewisburg for the Lions' opener.
