State Nine Tangles At Dickinson Today Striving to keep its NCAA playoff bid in the offing, Penn State's baseball team will wind up its road trip this weekend when it tests Dickinson in Carlisle this afternoon and Penn tomorrow. Currently sporting a 11-3 log, Coach Joe Bedenk's charges must win both outings if they are to remain in contention for the col legiate "Little World Series." Undefeated on their home gardens in seven starts, the Lions Tennis Team Plays Pitt Tomorrow The State tennis club, riding higher than average on the crest of a two-game win streak that carried it up to the .500 mark, will complete its two-day practice ses sion today in preparation for the traditional Pitt match tomorrow at Pittsburgh. The Panther meet is the last of five consecutive matches sched uled for foreign courts. The Lions will wrap up the 1952 season with their final three matches sched uled for home courts. Duquesne will be here May ,21 and Colgate and Bucknell will show for return matches on May 24 and 26. Earlier in the season, Bucknell tromped State, 7-2, and Colgate won, 8-1. The Nittany netmen will be shooting for their sixth straight triumph without loss over the Smoky City sextet. The Panthers have never beaten a State tennis outfit under Sherm Fogg's guid ance. Last year the Lions came from behind and nipped Pitt, 5-4, in a match played at home. Fogg will announce his travel ing team and his singles and dou bles choices after the completion of practice today. Game time in Pittsburgh is 2 p.m. with th e Lions scheduled to depart from State College at 7:30 a.m. tomor row. - - - Yep, It Went in!

Romp Win Last Year Righthandbr Bill Everson (4-1) is Bedenk's mound choice in to day's contest with Dickinson. Last s e.a so n, the Nittanies scored an impressive 11-4 con quest over the Red Devils. Three of Bedenk's regulars—Sil Cerchie, Captain Bill Hopper, and Bill Mi halich—were all instrumental in State's winning exploits of a year ago. Earlier this year, the Red and White dropped a 5-0 decision to Gettysburg whom the Lions had previously beaten, 2-1. Thus, the Statesmen are favored to win.

Thinclads Eye Ist Win Tomorrow By JOHN SHEPPARD Penn State's "triumph-hungry" spikesters have their work cut out for them tomorrow afternoon on Beaver Field as they seek their first win of the season and also strive to continue their 11 years dominance over traditional cin der rival Pitt. The last time a Panther track squad tasted victory at the hands of the Lions was back in '4l. During their victory reign, the Statesmen have succeeded in subduing Pitt in the extreme. In '43, for instance, the Nittanies won by the healthy margin of 85-46. The Wernermen also scored an overwhelming 82 1 / 2 -48 1 / 2 win in '47. Pitt Record, 2-1 Whether Coach Chick Werner's forces have adequately recovered from last week's devastating loss is hard to say; however, his run ners can't continue to make many more costly mistakes. Curently sporting a 2-1 log, Coach Carl Olson's pupils were idle last weekend, but the week before they registered a 71-60 win over Notre Dame. In turning the tables on the favored Irish, Pitt swept ten first places and turned in its best times and distances in five of them. 'Hasn't Been Pressed' One lad in particular who was dissatisifed with his clocking was miler and Captain Frank Kuzma. Thus far this season, none of his opponents has been able to offer a real challenge to the Panther star, who in his last time out ran a 4:23.2. However, - Olson f eels that he could have done much better if he were pushed more. Apparently Kuzma also figures the same about the matter, for after the Notre Dame meet, he was quoted by the Pitt News as saying, "I'm really sorry that I haven't been pressed this year be cause it doesn't give me a chance to run as I should." Frank added, "It should be a different story against Penn State." While making the latter state ment, evidently Kuzma was think ing of his personal feud,with the State runners. Kuzma Upset Last Year Undefeated to 'date, Kuzma's fastest time this year was 4:19. As a soph, he turned in a fast 4:17 effort to leave the cream. of the Lion's graduated distance power, Bill Ashenfelter, Bob Free bairn, and Don Ashenfelter, in that order. Last year, however, Freebairrf retaliated with a clear cut 4:16.6 mile, with Kuzma finishing sec ond. In tomorrow's contest, Kuzma will have his hands full when he encounters Jack Horner. Although laCking experience, Horneer has been constantly improving his times, and last week ran a 4:21. If anyone is . going to push the Pitt ace, Horner is the one. Jockey Wins 4000th INGLEWOOD, Calif., May 15 (W) Jockey Johnny Longden rode his 4000th winner today, the second man in racing history to reach the mark. 7rosh Track Coach Norm Gordon, former Penn State track star, is freshman coach. 'of the ,sport at his alma mater. Sports Thru The Lion's Eye 1;17. JAKE HIGHTON Collegian Sports Editor thext to losing, it is doubtful iif any worse fate can befall a fierce competitive athlete than to be forced to squirm helplessly on the bench, shelved with an injury. Such was the lot of Penn State's star defensive tackle, Chuck Medlar, in 1941. No one must have moaned louder than Chuck who had starred football. basketball and baseball at Allentown High School before ,coming to State in 1938, and then turned in outstanding performances on Nittany grid and court teams for two years. Yet, the break of his knee cartilage was a tremendous break for Penn State athletes. Forced to "squirm" on the bench, Chuck received patient train er's healing from the late Jack Hulme and at the same time got . the inspiration for the career which today finds him Penn State's head athletic trainer—in addition to being assistant baseball coach and phys cd instructor. • Oddly enough, except for another bad break, it isn't likely that ;he strapping, cigar-loving trainer would be aboard the boat with U.S.A. Olympic athletes when it embarks from New York City "uly Bth or 9th. Medlar had more grandiose clans for an athletic career. signed to play ball by the Detroit 'igers, Chuck spent several months with Beaumont in the "exas League until he joined an ither pro outfit, the U.S. Navy In 1943. Tossing aside his Navy clue in favor of the uniform of uff a 1 o in the International &ague, Chuck got his second bad 'reek which again turned out in `enn .State's favor. His old soup tone, lamed by the war, was dead and with it his playing baseball career. But just as his first bad break started him pn his trainers - career, this second one, sealed it. Chuck returned to State in '46 to continue his senior year and further his eager vigilance on the workings of his master craftsman, Hulme. The sudden death of Hulme in 1947, left a job for the guy who faithfully watched and worked. One of the nation's outstanding trainers Chuck reverently calls Hulme "a great man and one of the best trainers ever"—had passed on lessons sufficient that his successor today has grown to the rank of one of the top eight athletic conditioners in college ranks. In fact, by being named as assistant to the Olympic team, Chuck outdid his teacher in that he was the - first Nittany to be so honored. Chuck had to be good to get the. nod from the Olympic Asso ciation along with only Seven other trainers who were carefully screened from among 41 of the nation's best. .That Chuck is every bit as good as his size 13 brogans and that Olympic athletes will be in good hands, wrestling Coach Charlie Speidel can attest to. Taciturn Chuck doesn't say much, but the EIWA champion wrestlers can doubtleSsly do plenty of talking for him. Practically every, member of the eight man squad wrestled the entire season on a prayer and Medlar's .bandages. The noble work of clearing the Panama Canal Zone of Yellow Fever required guinea pig sacrifices. Chuck's two bad breaks have been great sacrifices for thousands of Nittany athletes that Chuck has taped into action. 7 Teams Win in Soccer The rain wasn't to blame in the intramural fraternity soccer tourney yesterday afternoon and last night when only seven of the 17 games scheduled were played, but the failure of eight fraternities: to place teams on the field.
