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."

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.

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".

The Davis-Ray doubles combi
nation will remain as Fogg's first

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

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
