rft-TR§Wog, *AY 1, 1952 Penn *de . Faces: Tough Riltgeis Nine Tomorrow By JIM PETERS Rutgers University will invade Beaver Field tomorrow to do battle with Coach Joe Bedenk's unbeaten Lion diamond men. The Lions then will face a heavy four-game card away froin home next week. The Scarlet, coached by the former base-stealing cham pion of #ie Washington Senators, George Case, will bring a veteran, team headed by catcher Jim Monaghan. Last year, Mohaghan played right field and batted in the clean-up slot for Rutgers, but was. switched to backstop . duties this-spring. Other returning players, who saw. action against the Lions last year when State edged its way to a 2-1 win are first baseman Chris shortstop Bob Koper whatz, third sacker Rudy Scan vel, and "centerfielder Ted Mc- Donough. Foster Starting Hurler Case will probably use new comers Vince AbbatiellO at sec ond; Walter Porter in right, and Larry Valis in left field. Valis is considered the club's top clutch hitter, Tom Foster, who finished with a 4-1 slate last season, will head the Scarlet's mound crew. Case is in his third season as head mentor of the Rutgers nine, and in his first two seasons came up with winning teams. In 1950, the Scarlet had a 20-6 record which won them the NCAA Dis trict 2 championship, and later finished runners-up in the NCAA World Series. Last year, the Casemen compiled a 15-8 record. , . Vesling May Hurl Since Case took over the helm in 1950, Rutgers has been known nationally as a definite team -threat in the base-stealing de partment, having pilfered a n amazing total of 158 bases in two seasons of play, or a little better than three stolen bases per game. Bedenk said yesterday that he would like to use sophomore hurler Keith Vesling against Rutgers if it could work out that the • young fireballer would be ready again by Tuesday for the annual game with Navy at An napolis, Md. Should Vesling hurl tomorrow, Bill Everson would probably be Bedenk's choice for the important Villanova game Monday. • Baseball Parade As they say in Brooklyn, "de woim, has toined." The formerly pitiful St. Louis Browns split a double header with the formerly mighty Yankees, taking the..opener 9-4. The Yanks came back In the second one, 4-1. In a complete reversal of form, the Browns unleashed a 13-hit attack in the first ggme, -five of them off Vic Raschi, who was lifted for a pinch hitter in the second. Bob Cain was aided to his third victory against no defeats by: archaic Satchel Paige who ex tinguished a Yank threat in the seventh‘ and pitched one-hit ball from there on. , Allie Reynolds put the Indian sign on Hornsby's charges in the second game; allowing four hits Branch Rickey's rookie-laden Pittsburgh Pirates finally broke out of the worst major league slump of the season by club bing the Braves 11-5. Even • so, the feeble Pirate mound corps gave up three homers. Murry Dickson won his first victory after three losses, but Ted. Wilks had to come in to rescue him from a five-hit Tribe attack. The Braves' pitching was even worse. Dave Cole, who started, was derricked in the fifth with bases loaded and none out , after he had walked eight. Ernie John son came in to give up five runs in that same inning. * * * The New York Giapts, who aren't doing so well as they did at the end,' nor as badly as they did at the beginning of last sea son, chalked up a 4-1 victory over Cincinnati. ..„:1.2.4.r02-.Tansen hurled a neat three;hitler and was aided by the four straight hits of Rookie Sec ora'sit, Sacker Davey Williams. - - _The - lone'Red run came on a 390-kot - circuit drive by Hank pcl.vliarc4 in the fifth. * * ,-Ted Williams said goodbye to baseball with a game-winning two-run-homer to give the Red Leading Hitter Reporters Face Double Trouble Sports reporters covering• the Northeastern Colle g e, Mass., baseball games have to be ex tremely careful about whom they are writing. Northeastern has two pitchers who are identical twins Donald and Ronald Eason. One wears the numbers 23 and the other 32, to add to the con fusiop. Their battery mate can't tell them apart until Donald picks up his glove. It is reputed that Donald is the southpaw. By BARRY FEIN Sox a 5-3 win over the hapless Detroit Tigers. William's, who leaves today to rejoin the Marine flyers, made his first appearance •in the start ing lineup since he pulled a leg muscle in the opener in Washing ton. Mel Parnell got his third win of the season, 'and Dizzy Trout took the loss. The fast-moving ChiCago Cubs jumped into runner up spot in the Senior Circuit by squeaking past the Phillies, 9-8.

The only forfeit of the evening was gained by Tony Pinnie-Ilvio Dal Farra, Alpha Phi Delta. Between the Lions What do you have when you add 15 days, two lettermen, and the weather together? The result is an inexperienced golf team! This lack of experience is the problem Coach Bob Rutherford faces as the 1952 Penn State golf campaign gets under way. The season didn't begin until April 14 when the golf course was opened, and that left only 15 days before the opening match against the Gettysburg Bullets yesterday. And when you subtract most of those days because of the weather, that didn't leave much time'for the golfers to get in shape. Most of the other teams have already played several matches. Gettysburg's season opened some four weeks ago and they had al 'ready played --'— games bef o they met the lons. Of c our they aren't hai Ipered as m u by • the rain the Lions al The remainder the oppo will have aTreal hit its stri, when the Eastern Intercollegiates ro 11 around on May 10-12, whereas the Lions will have just begun to work the kinks out of their muscles. And while we're on the sub ject of the Intercollegiates, it seems like' a funny time of the season to have them. In most of the other sports the schedule ends with tournament pla y . Basketball has it's NCAA and NIT and football has the bowl games to look forward to. But in golf the tournament comes as sort of an anti-climax. Too bad it can't be moved up to the end of the season too as a windup. Only two men returned from last year's team, Hud Samson and Captain Bob Bowers. This meant that Coach Bob Rutherford had to fill five vacancies with inex perienced men. A third letter man, John Wylie, was expected back but was lost for the rest of the season when he twisted his knee playing handball. But it's not all "thorns" for By TED SOENS Assistant Sports Editor Rutherford. He can always look to the fact that of the 13 men the team has been cut to, 11 will be back next year. There are five freshmen, two sopho mores, and four juniors among the present members. This means the team next year should be all veterans, and ex perience means a lot when it comes to a winning team. Maybe we ought to emphasize the phrase, "should be all veterans," for with the draft being the way it is, one can ever tell. Although most of the team hasn't had experience in college competition, several of the mem bers have had considerable ex perience either here or on other courses. For example, Bill Albert took top honors last year when he won the fraternity medal play and the all-College tourney, and Sophomore Rod Eaken was PIAA golf champion in '4B. The Gettysburg match yester day was canceled because of rain. It looks as if "Old Man" weather has something against State. First the tennis team had two games called off and now the golf team. Let's hope this doesn't become a habit. Now we'll have to wait till Satur day's match with Cornell to see what our "green team" can do. PAGE SEVEN
