‘ , „',lliklithander Keith Vesling got Penn State's sliding base
ball team - back on the victory trail Saturday with a three-hit
perform'ance as state grabbed the second game of a two-game
series, 4-1, at Pitt. .
' 'lt was ;State's 11th win in 14 starts while Pitt's slate now
reads 4-4,
'Vesling . was in complete con
trol all 'the way, giving up only
three hits while walking three
and striking out eight. The only
one• to give Vesling "any trouble
was = ..left fielder Bob Kyle, who
plaStered' him- for two singles and
a triple. Kyle was also the lead
ing ;instigator- Friday with a home
run that eventually sparked Pitt
to ,an -8-6 win.
Leonard Scores
Kyle's triple came in the fourth
inning; he scored a minute
later on clean-up man 011ie
Niemla's ; fly to center. •
State - took 'a one-run lead in
the second inning when catcher
Bill Leonard was safe on an error.
He took second on an infield out,
third on a long fly, and then scur
ried home on another error.
Thei•Lions stretched the lead to
,3-1 in the .fourth on a single by
center fielder Sil Cerchie and, a
fot3r-ply swat by Captain. Bill
Hopper. It was the lone hit for
Hopper.
Pitches to 30 Men
Coach Joe Bedefik's crew
scored an insurance run in the
ninth when the only two State
players to get - more than one hit,
Leonard and Hubie Kline, doubled
and singled in succession.
Vesling pitched to only .30 men
and one of these was erased by a
Kline - Bill -Mihalich - Mike Hun
char double play. The victory was
Vesling's fourth.
Dick Shannon went the route
for the Panthers, pitching well
enough to win under ordinary
conditions, but Vesling wat better:
Shannon gave up- only nine hits,
walking two and striking out six.
State will be inactive until Fri
day when it journeys to Carlisle
for a game with Dickinson.

Army Trackmen Subdue Lions
Twelve track standards were
erased Saturday afternoon at
West Point, as heptagonal
champion Army's depth, running
and . field superiority spelled a
115 1 / 2 -24 1 / 2 setback for Penn
State's winless track forces.
Sprinter Bill Polito and high
jumper Jim Herb were the only
two Nittanies 'to garner first
places, as the Cadets outscored
State, 61-16, in the running events,
and, 43 1 / 2 -8 1 / 2 , in the field con
tests. In recording its crushing
conquest, the •B lack Knights
eclipsed two Academy, three
track, and six meet records.
State's Herb set the other meet
mark.
In posting his second, consecu
tive record-breaking meet .tri
umph of the season; Herb wasn't
quite, up to last week's 6'5 1 / 4 "
'performance, but, nevertheless,
his 6'2" height was sufficient for
a first place berth.
State's other first place win
ner, Polito; sprinted to a fast 22.2
clocking in the 220 to score the
only
. five points for State in the
Funning events.
Although stellar cadet spike
ster Dick Shea didn't run the two
mile, the indoor IC4A titlist re
wrote the West Point track led
ger with his double recording-,
breaking exploits in the half-mile
and mile runs.
Shea ran" the mile in the fast
time of 4:13.5 to wipe out his
own Academy and track marks
of 4:14.1, and the meet standard
of 4:21.1, set by Proctor of Army

V-Ball Semi-Finals
Delta Tau'Delta-A, Theta Xi-B, Beta Theta Pi-A, and Phi Delta
Theta-A all picked up victories last night to advance into the semi
finals of the intramural volleyball tournament.
- The four winners will meet tonight in the semi-final matches
while Beaver House and the Foresters will battle for the independent
championship.
Delta Tau Delta-A found the
"brother-rival" B team, although
they had to go three games to do
it, 6-15, 15-5, 15-5
Phi Delta Theta-A, regarded as
the favorites in the tourney, had
little trouble in routing Sigma
Chi-A, 15-3, 15-8. Art Betts and
Ed Hoover led the attack for the
Phi Delts
h Sparked by "Tiny" McMahan,
Beta Theta Pi-A tripped Triangle
in their quarter-final-match, 15-7,
15-8. The rangy Beta of basket
ball fame, constantly dropped
hard "spikes" at the feet of the
hapless Triangle front line. Theta
Xi-B, another tall squad, also had
an easy time in defeating Alpha
Tau Omega-B, 15-3, 15-5.
In tonight's contests, Delta Tau
Delta-A and Theta Xi-B will
grapple for a berth in the finals

in '34. In accomplishing his feat,
Army's ace ran so. 63 quarter, 2:09
half, and 3:14 three- qu art er.
State's Jack Horner finished third
with a 4:21 timing.
Running his usual fast pace in
the 880, Shea climaxed his second
triple standard-breaking perform
ance in I:s4.4.'Although his 1:55.5
timing' was one of his fastest,
State's Bob Roessler couldn't do
any better than third. Nittany Bob
Gehman also ran a fast 1:55.6,
but failed to place.
Lou Davis, Shea's shadow in the
two-mile, came out into the bright
Saturday sunshine to win the,
event from Lamont Smith in
9:21.6, eclipsing the track and
meet marks. .
Johnson Sweeps Hurdles
Smitty and Davis ran 'even for
the first three laps. Thep. Davis
began to move out in front of
Smitty during the beginning of
the fourth lap. He continued to
set a blistering pace, and grad
ually lengthened out to win
handily. Smitty's time was 9:28.8,
which is the fastest the young
frosh had ever run outdoors.
In the hurdles events, frosh
Bill Youkers found veteran de
fending barrier champ, Larry
Johnson, too much, as he was
only able to capture two third
places. Johnson's, double triumph
in the 120 highs and 220 lows was
good enough to, better the meet
records. His time was 14.5 in the
lows and 23.6 in the highs.,
