golfers, will be out to gain added experience today and
tomorrow as they face the East's top college golfers at Anna•
poiis, Md.
The Yale Bulldogs, defend
rites to capture the team title in
the '1952 Eastern Intercollegiate
golrtournaznent.
Their top man and probably
one of the best in the nation to
,. day ; Link Roden, will alsd be de
fending his title as the best col
lege golfer in the East.
- Starting, at 8 a.m. today, 96
Y' golfers will play 36 holes of 'golf
to decide the ' team champion,
while tomorrow only 16 of these
Men Will play for the individual
title.
Only One Veteran
For Stafe . ,the jolters will be
Rod Eaken, Hud Samson, Gordon
Stroup, .Toe'Webb, George Kreid
ler, and Warren Gittlen.
With the exception of Samson,
State will be fielding five men
who haven't played in College
competition prior to this year.
And all of these men will be ex
pected`- to play on next year's
team.• The veteran of the squad.
Samson, is a junior; Eaken, the
number one man, is a sophomore;
Webb, medalist against Pitt, is
also a sophomore; Stroup, a trans
fer student from Juniata. is a jun
ior; the other members of the
squad, r Gittlen, and' Kreidler, are
freshmen.
Pitt was Undefeated
As a consequence of this inex
perience, Coach Bob Rutherford's
team was rated a "green team"
and wasn't expected to do so well
this season. But so far they've
won their first two matches, de
feating Cornell and Pitt by the
same scores, 5-2.
The Pitt victory, especially,
was a sweet one. Pitt had been
undefeated before they met the
Lions, and was heavily rated to
defeat State. Incidentally; Pitt
has a very good golfer in Bob
- , Riley who is expected to show up
well in the EIGA tourney.
After the tournament the golf
ers have only two more weeks
before their season is 'over. Tho- -
will be playing two home mater t
next week, one on , ThUrsday
against Bucknell, and the other
on Saturday with the Navy.
They'll wind up the year with a
match with Colgate's Red Raid
ers on May 24.

The Penn State netmen lost
to Colgate 2-1 • yesterday on the
away courts. The doubleS team
of Gus Bigott and Dick Gross
scored the only win, 6-3. 6-3.
Ninety-eight per cent of driv
ers involved in fatal automobile
accidents in the U.S. last year had
at least one year's driving experi
ence.

THE DAILY' CM.LEGIAN: STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
The Lion's Eye
Legend has it that in Holland they strap ice skates on a kid
before he can walk. Down Maryland way, U.S.A., they shove a la
crosse stick into a kid's mitts before he learns to manipulate a drip
ping popsicle stick. This too may be simply legendary among Mary
landers, but they certainly wasted no time in acquainting Penn
State's Harold "Bud" Wolfram with the facts of ,Maryland life.
The diminutive captain of the Nittany lacrosse team was wield
ing a big stick at the age of-seven in his Towson, Maryland, home
town.
Living in suburban Baltimore, the geographic center of the
lacrosse world, Bud was exposed to a tremendous lacrosse environ
ment. (Lacrosse is so much the rave in Maryland that the college
games outdraw baseball's triple-A
Baltimore Orioles on weekends.) •`""';" 7.
Bud got his first coaching in
the skull-busting industry at Bal
timore Polytechnic high schobl
where he played on the varsity
his junior and senior years. With
college on deck for Bud, Penn
State had a lucky legacy his
sister graduated from State in
1946.
During his „last three sea
sons on the lacrosse ten, Bud hag
played a prominent role for Nit
tany Coach Nick Thiel. The übi
quitous midfielder has been more
than conspicuous leading the
Lions' switches froin attack to defense and back to attack,
Bud, a tiny mite standing only 67 inches from the ground and
weighing 125 pounds, has stood up surprisingly well for his lapk of
stature and avoirdupois. Despite the pounding he has taken, Bud
had never been injured seriously until last week in the Syracuse
game when he stretched a tendon which will probably limit his
action to one or two quarters today.
Hustling Bud, modest and unassuming about his own prowesses,
recalls his happiest day in lacrosse as the one last May when
Penn State stunningly upset the crackerjack Maryland Lacrosse
Club—a 7-6 victory which was a brilliant team performance so
characteristic of Wolfram.
New Warren Coach
WARREN, Pa. (W)—C. Freder
ick Bell, former Penn State ath
lete who has coached the high
school-football team a - t, his home
town of Bellefonte the past three
seasons, has been • named new
head football coach at Warren. '
He succeeds J. B. Laidig who will
continue as Warren's athletic di
rector.

Attendance
Hurt by TV
NEW YORK, May 8 (W)—Tele
vision hurts' college football at
tendance—badly.
This conclusion, along with sev
eral others, was reached through
a year-long study made, at a cost
of $50,000, by the National Opin
ion Research Center of the Uni
versity of Chicago for the National
Collegiate A.A.
The NORC report, embodied in
a 30-page . booklet replete with
graphs and statistical tables, was
released today after the NCAA
Television Committee ended a
two-day meeting to plan for a
1952 program of controlled tele
vision.
Other conclusions reached were:
"Attendance is particularly off
in those 'heavily.,, saturated.' TV
areas where 40 per cent or more
of the families are set-owners.
EOM
"The NCAA's 1951 experimental
plan of limiting telecasting of col
lege games succeeded in reducing
television's harmful effects on at
tendance. In 1950. • . the dif
ference between the relative at
tendance trends of colleges ex
posed to television competition
and those not exposed was sig
nificantly greater than it was in
1951."
Challenging previous studies,
which seemed to indicate that
television had only a temporary
effect on attendance and might
in the long run prove beneficial,
the NORC study indicates a steady
decline in attendance coinciding
with the growth of television.
