PAGE SIX Thincla4 Host Sp.CirttieiHT64;r,:oi Lions' Inexperienced Team Opens Dual Meet Season Confidence and a preponderance of inexperienced youngsters mark the 1952 opening dual meet picture for the Nittany Lion thinclads today as they spring into action on Beaver Field against Michigan State. Starting time is 1 p.m. 1 p.m. Although at the lowest depth in some time from the standpoint of seasoning, _Coach Chick Werner has a game team which is determined to "go" despite Michigan State odds. Coach Karl Schlademan will field a veteran squad which boasts of eight lettermen from last season. This fact, coupled with the two relay meets that Michigan State has already parti cipated in, establishes the Spar tans as favorites in today's con test. Lions Open Golf Season At Cornell By TED SOENS The Lions' golf team will try again today to open its 1952 golf ing season, this time against the Cornell Big Red. Wednesday's opening match against the Get tysburg squad was canceled be cause of a "wet" course. "This is the first time in the history of Penn State's golf team that a match has been canceled because of the weather," Joe Boyle, assistant golf coach, said. "They were to 'play on a country club course but the owner s wouldn't allow it." The match won't be replayed. The game today, scheduled for 1 p.m., will be played with seven men and one man acting as alternate in case of sickness or in-i jury. The traveling squad consists of Rod Eaken, Gordon Stroup, Hud Samson, Bill Albert, Joe Webb, George Kriedler, and Cap tain Bob Bowers. Warren Gittlen will be the alternate. Gittlen was injured in the .early part of this week but was able to make the trip. The lineup for today's game is a little differ ent then the one that was to play the Bullets. On Wednesday and Thursday, Coach Bob Rutherford ran off two challenge matches. Bowers gained a position on the squad after defeating Jim Lamoree. Gittlen was picked as alter nate after also defeating Lamoree but losing t o Kriedler. "We always use challenge matches," Boyle said, "for that's what makes a good team—when you keep the,m hopping!" "Cornell usually has a very good "team—although this year I don't know much about them. They are usually far ahead of us ] as far as matches are concerned,' for they take a southern trip and the season in the South opens up a little sooner than ours." It was too bad the game with Gettysburg was canceled, for the team needed the practice and ex perienced gained in college com petition. Next week the squad will be hard pressed. It takes on Pittsburgh on Wednesday and then travels to Annapolis for the Eastern Intercollegiates on Sat urday and Sunday. As for the match this after noon, Boyle said, "I think it will be pretty ) close, but we have a good chance of winning. The course up there isn't too hard. One thing though, we'll know a lot more after today about just how we stand as far as other teams are concerned." Battery Switch Produces Winner DUNDEE, N.Y., May 2 (.IP) Here's how easy it is to run a baseball team: Trumansburgh Central School team lost two straight games, so Coach Carelton Tarbell figured he'd better shakeup the lineup. Earl Wright, the club's regular catcher, took over in the pitch er's box and Bob MacCarrick, the number one hurler, went be hind the plate in yesterday's game against Dundee Central. Tarbell was feeling like John McGraw after the game because of Wright's one-hitter in a 20-3 victory for Trumansburgh. By JOHN SHEPPARD Smith Runs Two-Mile Although State's squad i s dominated by frosh and sophs, they should jell into a tough unit. One of these is distance-man La mont Smith. Possibly one of the finest looking frosh . distance-men Penn Stat- has seen in years, the stocky two-miler has the ear marks of a promising runner, once he gains experience. Smitty draws a tough assign ment in MSC's cross country cap tain, Jim Kepford. Last weekend at Philadelphia, Smitty outran some of the best two-milers in the business, finishing second, some 25 yards behind Army's star, Dick Shea. However, Kepford's experience may, prove too much for Smitty. A further look at today'i agen da shows that the 100-yard dash should be quite a battle. State's veteran -Bill Po lito and 'f rosh George Un ger are pitted against Michi gan State's cap tain, Dick Hen son, and Art In gram. Bob Carey Polito is coming along rapidly and could, better _his old- mark ,of 0:10.1. Hanson's performance will depend largely on how he has recovered from an old leg injury. in the 440, Captain John Lauer has been posting some good times lately, and could • add to State's fortunes. Lauer, Skip Slocum, and Tom Younkins have letter men Lee Jones and Norm Har wick to contend with. Lorch Vaulter Tremendous inter e s t in the field events should center around State's sophomore pole-vaulter Dan Lorch, and the Spa#an's shot putter, Bob Carey. For the first time in his career, Lorch vaulted 13', which is six inches better than he has ever done.' At the Penn Relays last weekend, Dan finished in a sec ond-place, four-way ti e with some of the top-vaulters , irt- the country, he scaled 12' 6". Lorch will' face Arnold Smith and Chuck Coykendall, both of whom have done 13'. Shot putter Carey, on thet other hand, is MSC's nomination for a possible Olympic berth. The All- Atherican football end holds MSC shot put record of 53' 3". Nittany Lion Entries: I :00—Pole Vault: Dan Larch.

By GEORGE BAIREY The Lions had their five-game win streak over Bucknell termi nated on Wednesday with an,em phatic 7-2 Bison ,win. •„ Ed Davis and trUz . Ray will probably go \ at the top 'two sin gles positions for the Lions, while Bill Ziegler and Gus' Bigott ,will start in their usual slots, Ziegler, at number three, and Bigott at number six. Bill Forrey will see his first singles action this year in the number f our position. Forrey sat out the singles play for the Bison match. The fifth singles spot will be occupied bk: either' Dez Long or Dick Gross: • The Davis-Ray doubles combi nation will remain as Fogg's first choice in that department. Even though the number three team, Bigott-Forrey, was the only dou bles outfit to win from Bucknell, it may be broken up to strengthen the number two duo. Bill Ziegler and-Bill Ray were teamed in the number two dou bles slot against Vie Bisons. Both halves of the number. two team, while capable performers, are too tense and too tight and also play too much the same style of tennis to be paired ' together success fully, Fogg said. Fogg added -that experimental doubles tennis will have to be the Lions' fate for at least the next few matches, in order to find the to three teams.
