In Lacrosse Series
A teacher will try to show his student some tricks of the trade
when the Penn State lacrosse team travels to Syracuse tomorrow.
Syracuse Coach Roy. Simmons will attempt to continue his
mastery over Penn State Coach Nick Thiel, who played under Sim
mons at Syracuse in the early 1930'5. State has not beaten Syracuse
since 1947 when it defeated the
Orange, 6-3. Last year Penn State
lost, 13-10.
When State and Syracuse get
together, however, anything can
happen, as last year's game will
verify. The Lions were distinct
favorites, but when the smoke
cleared Simmons' team had won.
Fresh Paces Attack
Syracuse is loaded again this
spring and Simmons maintains
that the Orange "can score ten
goals against any team."
Spearheading the Orange at
tack is a freshman from Long Is
land, Jim Burns, tabbed as one
of the hest feeders ever to play
at Syracuse.
State will be at a decided dis
advantage in manpower with two
fi..•st-team men injured and not
able to play, two more in bad
condition, but able to play, and,
a fifth who can't make the trip
because of an engineering field
trip
Ilosimeyer Hurt
Attackman Doak Walker and
defenseman John Amber will have
to sit out the match as Walker's
sprained ankle has not healed
and Amber's "charley horse" has
failed to respond to treatment.
Two' more attackmen, Dick
Rostmeyer and creasemap Tom
Goldsworthy, also aren't in the
best of condition. Rostmeyer has
a bad leg while Goldsworthy is
suffering from an injured chest.
Midfielder John Yohman also
will be missing because of an en
gineering field trip.
Eagle Replaces Yohman
At attack, Thiel will replace
Walker with Bob Koons, who
served as State's first alternate
last year. Rostmeyer and Golds
worthy will play beside Koons. •
At midfield, it will be Captain
Bud Wolfram, Tony Eagle, and
Wayne Hockersmith, State's lead
ing scorer with six goals. Eagle
will replace Yohman.
On the defense, Thiel will use
John Henry, Barr Asplundh, and
Dick Schaefer. Amber's place will
be taken by Schaefer who has
Looked good lately.
Sophomore Don Bell will handle
the goal tending duties.

Lemyres' Fame
Reached Korea,
Alumnus Writes
Whether the wrestling Lemy
res, Dick and Joe, know it or not,
their fame has spread to Korea
—not in khaki either.
Capt. Boyd M. Witherow, class
of 1943, on military leave as an
instructor in the Forestry depart
ment, spotted a sports cartoon de
picting the Lemyre brothers in
the Pacific edition of the Stars
and Stripes.
"I thought you'd be interested,"
Witherow wrote Coach Charlie
Speidel fr o m Korea, "to know
how far the fame of Penn State's
wrestling team has spread."
The area of the Free mc7ritory
Trieste is 320 square miles.
Rutgers Running Team
To Test State Catching
One of the interesting sidelights of today's Penn State-
Rutgers baseball game at Beaver Field will be the challenge
extended by ,the Scarlet -base-runners to Lion catcher Bill
Leonard. Game time is 2:30.p.m. '
Coach George Case's outfi
base-running, having stolen 1 -
1950 and 1951.
Case, himself a one-time base
stealing champion of the Ameri
can League Washington Senators,
installed this type of play at Rut
gers when he took over the coach
ing duties there in 1950. That
year, he led the Scarlet to the
runner-up spot in the NCAA
World • Series.
Slugging Cap-lain
Leonard, who took over the
backstopping for the Lions fol
lowing the graduation of Clarence
Buss last June, has been one of
the big reasons why Coach Joe
Bedenk's batsmen have piled up
nine consecutive wins this year.
The powerfully built junior is
currently hitting .358, second only
to Hubie Kline's .370 average, and
has shown time and again his
ability to throw out ^ would-be
base-stealers.
Rutgers' offensive hopes will
rest with its catcher, Jim Mona
ghan, and leftfielder Larry Valis.
Monaghan went hitless against
the Lions' Owen Dougherty last
year as the Bedenkmen won - a
close 2-1 thriller.
Starting Lineup
However, he was clean-up hit
ter then while playing in right
field, and will be counted on by
Case to carry the load again this
year. Valis, a newcomer to the
Scarlet ranks, is touted as a top
man in the clutch-hitting depart
ment.
Bedenk will probably send
sophomore Keith Vesling to the
hill today in search of his fourth
straight victory. Vesling holds
wins over Georgetown, West Vir
ginia, and Lafayette, and has an
earned run average of 1.44.
The probable line-up for Penn
State will be:
Chris Tonery, If Bill Leonard, e

Tennismen
Drill for
Hoya Match
Cbach Sherm Fogg's 'tennis
squad, noticeably stale against
Bucknell Wednesday after an un
scheduled six-day vacation due to
the rainy weath,er, began drills in
earnest yesterday for its opening
home match at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow
against Georgetown.
Fogg said that the singles lad
der will remain basically, the
same for the Hoya meet now that
"the Bucknell match is behind us."
The first three singles positions
will also remain the 'same, with
Ed Davis, Bruz Ray, and Bill Zieg
ler handling the top chores.
Bill Forrey, who earlier •in the
week was beaten by Dez Long for
the number five job against Buck
nell, has been installed in. the
number four position by Fogg for
the Hoya match. Gus Bigott will
keep the number six place.
The number five singles posi
tion is wide operr, with Dick Gross,
Dez Long; and Bill Ray all in con
tention. Fogg will name the num
ber five performer for the George
town match after practice today.
Elimination matches will not be
played.
Fogg said that the original first
and third doubles combinations
will start against the Hilltoppers,
and only ' the number two team
will be shaken up. Davis-Bruz
Ray, and Bigott-Forrey make up
the first and third combos, while
Fogg will probably go with Zieg
ler and Long or Bill Ray in the
number two position.
After the Georgetown meet, the
Lions will take to the road again
for five straight contests before
showing on home courts against
Duquesne on May 21.
