Lion Nine Drops 3d;
Loses to Pitt, 8-6
A fodr-run rally in the seventh inning highlighted by
Bob Kyle's two-run circuit smash gave Pitt's baseball team
an 8-6 win over Penn State in the first of a two-game series
in the Steel City yesterday afternoon.
Kyle's home run came after State had rallied for three runs
in the top half of the same inning to take a shortlived 6-3 lead.
Kyle's hit off starter Bill Everson put the Panthers back in the
game, 6-5, and they quickly shelled his successor, and eventual loser,.
Jack Krumrine, for two more runs and a 7-6 margin.
Krumrine got the first man on a ground ball to third, but then
the roof caved in.
Emery was safe on Carmen Troisi's error, and he scurried all the
way home on second baseman Dave Devy's long single to right.
Devy took second on the throw-in and scored a minute later on
Dick Filek's one-baser.
Pitt added an insurance run in the following inning on a triple
by left fielder Sam Little, a walk to Kyle, and a single to Emery.
The ultimate winners also tallied the first run of the game on a
walk, a forceout, a single, and an Everson error.
The Lions clawed back in the fourth, scoring three runs and
taking a 3-1 lead via three hits and a walk.
Bill Mihalich started the rally with a single and moved up on a
one-bagger by Sil Cerchie, the first of his three hits. Bill Hopper's
single drove in Mihalich and the game was tied.
After catcher Bill Leonard popped out, Mike Hunchar drew a
walk. Troisi then smashed another single, scoring both Cerchie and
Hopper.
Pitt tied the game in the same frame on three hits and an error
by Troisi. Emery and Davy singled in succession and, after Filek was
called out on strikes, Lepkowski also singled to score Emery. Troisi's
boot let in the second run.
State came back with three runs in the seventh, two of them on a
single by Cerchie. But the Panthers roared back with four runs
of their own.
Nittany Lion Trackmen
Battle West Point Today
Penn State's outdoor track team will be running under the
double handicap of a nine point deficit and a lack of depth and field
strength this afternoon as Coach Chick Werner's forces renew cinder
rivalry with Army at West Point, N.Y.
The nine-point margin which the Cadets have already compiled
is a result of the Lions not having a 16-pound hammer entry. Since
it is Army's home meet, State
doesn't ha v e anything to say
about the matter.
Coach We r n er 's determined
spikesters should get an equal
share of first places in the 14
track and field events, excluding
the relay, but Black Knight man
power and superiority in the field
contests indicate a victory for the
West Pointers.
Shea Penn Relays Winner
Many exciting duels will be
fought in the track and field
events, and principally in the dis
tance races, where up-and-coming
frosh two-miler Lamont Smith
takes up where he left off in the
Penn Relays against Captain Dick
Shea.
Last weekend, Army's stellar
distance man, making little effort
for fast times, covered the North
Field Academy oval in 4:24.7,
with a 57 second final lap to
finish some 20 yards in front of
his nearest rival. He then took
the two-mile event with a 9:31.9
Meet record performance, circling
the last lap in 62 seconds.
Youkers to Run Hurdles
Captain John Lauer, Bill Polito,
Ted Mortensen, and Bob Roessler
should account for important
markers in the 100, 220, and 880.
Also, frosh hurdler Bill Youkers
should have his hands full in the
220 lows and 120 highs, with
Army's fast Larry Johnson to
contend with.
In the high jump, State's jump
ing Jim Herb will be out to bet
ter his 6'5 1 / 4 " record-breaking
meet standard of last week. Dur
ing practices the past week Herb
leaped as high as 6'7 1 / 2 " which
is higher than the Penn State
nark.

Rutgers Today

Win in 2d
Home Meet
By TOM SAYLOR
Penn State's erratic shoot
ing lacrosse team will be host
to Rutgers today for the first
time since 1946 in a Mother's
Day weekend match scheduled
for 2 p.m. on the golf course.
The Lions will be seeking their
third win against as many losses.
State won the '46 contest, 9-1,
but the Scarlet has since come a
long way in la cr o s s e, thanks
mainly to present Coach Al Twit
chell, a former lacrosse star at
Rutgers himself.
The two clubs next met two
years ago in New Brunswick, with
Rutgers bouncing back to grab
this game, 11-6.
Scored Eight . Goals
If' State can figure a way to
halt the wild-scoring antics of
Mac McVeigh, it could very well
"bring home the bacon."
McVeigh had things to himself
in Rutgers' last game, scoring
eight goals as his team over
whelmed Lafayette, 21-1. Bo b
Stevens also had four goals for
the winners.
State will enter the game minus
one key man and will see only
limited action from two others.
Doak Walker's ankle is still in
the same condition it was two
weeks ago and Thiel hinted Wal
ker might be out for the season.
Koons to Replace Walker
Seeing limited action will be
midfielder Bud Wolfram and de
fenseman John Amber. Wolfram
pulled a tendon in his right knee
against Syracuse, while Xmber's
charley horse is still heavily
bandaged.
Replacing Walker on the left
side will be veteran Bob Koons, a
senior from Philadelphia. Koons
will team up with junior crease
man Tom Goldsworthy and sen
ior Dick Rostmeyer.
At midfield, Thiel will use sen
iors Tony Eagle and John Yoh
man
and junior Wayne Hooker
smith. Wolfram will start if he is
ready, but his status is still in
definite.
Asplundh, Henry to Start
The second midfield will con
sist of freshman Lucien Girard
and John Steinmuller and soph
omore Jim DeVoe.
Starting at defense will be
seniors Barr Asplundh and John
Henry and junior Dick Schaefer,
or if he's ready, Amber.
Thiel indicated, however, that
Schaefer will probably •get the
nod on the basis of Amber's in
jury and Schaefer's good per
formances lately.
A veteran at box lacrosse, soph
omore Don Bell will start at goal.
Hill Gail Out
Of Preakness •
LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 9. (/F)—
Hill Gail, the Kentucky Derby
winner, was declared out of the
Preakness today because of an
ankle condition.
Trainer Ben Jones of Calumet
Farm announced the colt also
will have to pass up the Belmont
Stake's, which follows the May 17
Preakness.
Jones said a superficial growth
on the left front ankle will have
to be "fired," racing men's term
for burning out the growth with
an electric needle.
The decision was reached after
Jones conferred with Mrs. War
ren Wright, owner of the fabulous
Calumet Farm near Lexington,
Ky.
It's an all-football battery when
Keith Vesling, Clarendon right
hander, ascends the mound for
the Penn State baseball team.
Vesling is an offensive wingback
on the grid team while his battery
mate, Bill Leonard, of State Col
lege, fills a halfback position on
defense.

The once-swashbuckling New
York Yanks had to stoop to win
, ning a game on enemy errors
when they beat the Boston Red
Sox 7-4 yesterday.
The floundering Yankees won
their fifth game in 13 starts on
the strength of three unearned
runs in the sixth inning. Bobbles
by third baseman John Pesky and
shortstop Jim Piersall, the con
verted outfielder, gave the runs
away.
Righthander Johnny Sain,
whom the Stengelmen acquired
from the Boston Braves. helped
his own cause as he hit a twotrun
homer and a double while driving
in three runs. The win was his
second. Bill Wight, 1-1, got the
loss.
Minnie Minoso's 2-run triple
in the 16th inning put an end
to a four. hour and 27-minute
marathon yesterday and gave
the irisiting. White Sox a vic
tory over Detroit Tigers 8-5.
Sox Reliefer Bill Kennedy got
out of a tight jam in the 16th by
striking out• George Lerchen and
getting Johnny Groth to ground
out the bases 'loaded.
Hal White, the sixth of seven
Detroit pitchers was tagged with
the loss and veteran Harry Dor
ish picked up the win.
Joe Page, one-time fireman
hero of the Yanks, is finding
that "here today, gone tomor
row" can often apply in base- •
ball. Page was just returned to
the Bombers' farm club in Kan
sas City by the Syractise
(Int.) Chiefs . . . Braves sec
ond sacker Sibby Sisti, who
hurt his right leg Thursday,
will be out for several days.
The Pirates went another day
without losing. Cold postponed
their game with Chicago yester
day . . Those surprising St.
Louis Browns are rolling right
along in spite of the fact that
two ot the first-string 'outfielders,
Roy Sievers and Frank Saucier

-fmtly had an operation on his
-hotader and Saucier is in the
