PAGE SIR rackmen, Golfers, Stickmen Vie Here Today Th inclads Seek Upset Over Pitt By JOHN SHEPPARD Spurred on by their 11-year invincible jinx over Pitt and the fact that they are winless, Nittany track forces are keyed high for victory this afternoon when they renew cinder rival ry with the 'Panthers on Bea ver Field. The opening field events are scheduled to start at 1 p.m., while the running activity, beginning with the mile run, commences at 1:30 p.m. This is the last home meet of the season for the Lions, as next weekend the y encounter Man hattan and the following week end participate in the IC-4A's at New York. Roessler in 880 Although Coach Ca r 1 Olson's team boasts of a 2-1 log, Coach Chick Werner's determined ath letes have been constantly im proving. The fact that State has no doubt gained a lot of exper ience in its past two outings, cou pled with the home meet angle, indicates a rather optimistic out look for the home charges. In the 880, State's Bob Roess ler, who ran a fast 1:55.5 third place clocking last week, could have the necessary last second kick to stymie the efforts of Pitt challenger Dick Webb. This should be one of th e closest-contested races of the afternoon, as Webb ran 1:55.6 winning the last time out. Monohan Set Record Frosh hurdler Bill Youkers will also have his hands full when he tests Pitt's Wally Monohan in the barrier-skimming event. Monohan set a new Panther record in the 120 highs two weeks ago against Notre Dame. Th e sophomore .timber-topper shaved three-tenths of a second from the previous mark of 15 seconds. However, Monohan 'hasn't been too consistent. High jumper Jim Herb will be out for his third consecutive win of the season as well as a new meet record and possibly a new Penn State record. Little opposi tion is expected from Frank Christopher whose best height to date is 6 1 1.Y8". Herb, on the other hand, did 6'sW' in an earlier met this year, and has leaped bet ter than 6'6" in practice. Smith Favored Speedster Bill Polito could ac count for important points in the 100 and 220. Bill, however, will have to be at his best if he wishes to accomplish such a feat, as co captain Johnny Patellos has been a big gun for the Blue and Gold in the sprints. For the first time this season, it appears that frosh two-miler Lamont Smith won't find the go ing too rough, as compared to his two previous assignments when he had Army's Dick Shea and Michigan State's Wayne Scutt. Smitty ran his best time (9:28.8) of the outdoor season last week at West Point. Smitty's major obstacle, Bernie Luterancik, has run an average clocking of around 9:38 this season.

TM! nAits COLLEGIAN STATE N....LEGE_ PENNgYLVANIA State's 880 Entk•ant Dave Pierson Yanks Top Tigers; Noren Breaks Tie DETROIT, May 16 (/?) Iry Noren, a batting flop since he joined the New York Yankees, boomed a seventh-inning home run and then slashed a tie-break ing single in the ninth inning today to grab a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers for the Yan kees' Allie Reynolds. Noren was switched from cen ter field to first base for the first time by manager Casey Stengel. Three other Yankee first base men were laid up by injuries. Noren rammed a single into center field with one out in the ninth to drive home Gil Mc- Dougald, who had doubled and reached third on a sacrifice. In the eighth inning the Tigers tied the score 2-2 on Johnny Lip on's single and Pat Mullin's double. - - - a Both clubs scored once in the first inning. The Yankee's. Phil Rizzuto singled to right, stole sec ond base and romped home when Yogi Berra singled to right; Tennis Team Pitt Panthers Two seniors, a junior, and three sophomores will represent the Penn State tennis squad when it journeys to Pittsburgh today to do battle with the Panthers. Match time is 2 p.m. Coach Sherm Fogg's six-man traveling squad will lay on the line two consecutive win streaks—one a two-game affair on this years season and the other a five match streak over Pitt stretching over a six-year period. The traveling squad consists of Dick Robinson, Capt. Ed Davis, Bruz Ray, Dick Gross, 'Dez Long, and Gus Bigott. Davis, in 2d Slot Robinson will be back in the number one singles position after a match layoff against Little Jun iata. Since his reinstatement last week, the sophomore two-time independent singles champ has dropped decisions to number one performers from both Colgate and Syracuse. Davis and Ray will work in the all-important second and third singles posts. Davis copped his initial win Wednesday against Juniata, while sophomore Ray's singles record stands at 4-2. Gross, the only junior making the trip, will be in the number four singles slot against Pitt Linksmen Play Strong Navy Team By TED SOENS The Middies of Annapolis will provide the competition t o day as the Nittany Lion golfers try for their fourth straight win in as many starts. Match time will be at 1:30 p.m. on the College golf links. Navy will have a very strong and experienced team. In the Eastern Intercollegiate golf , tour nament they finished third with a 639 in. a field of 14 top Eastern colleges. Pitt Beats Navy Navy was also the only team to qualify four men for the individ ual title. These men were Bill Thompson, who qualified for 11th place with a 159; William Ball, in 12th place with a 159; George Hall in 14th place with a 160; and John Inman with a 161 in 15th place. However, the Navymen were dumped earlier in the season by a team the Lions have already beaten. Pitt took the Navy at its home golf course with a 4-2 win, and then was defeated by the Lions at Pittsburgh, 5-2. With the exception of Bill Al bert, State will field the same team that handed Bucknell .a 9-0 defeat here last Thursday. Shoots Low 36 Rod Eaken will be the number one man, with Hud Samson, Warren Gittlen, Gordon Stroup, Joe Webb, and George Kreidler rounding out the squad. Bill didn't play against Buck nell, as the Bisons only fielded a team of six. He was barely beaten out by Kreidler for the number six spot against the Bisons. He shot a very low 36 for nine holes, but then George came back with a 33 to take the match and the position. Today's match will be the last home match for the Lions. Next Saturday, State will journey to Cornell for the *last game of the season. Faces Today The steady Gross has a seasonal singles record of 2-2. Long Holds sth Slot Long and Bigott will hold down the fifth and sixth singles jobs against the Smoky City crew. Long's single slate i n tw o matches stands at 1-1. The mas ter of the chop, Bigott, has drop ped three decisions as against two wins for a 1952 seasonal mark of 2-3. Robinson-Davis will again be in the top doubles slot. The Pan ther meet will be the fourth straight match for the sophomore senior pair, who have! swept two of their first three 'matches. Last season's IM fraternity doubles champs, Ray-Long, will be teamed in the second doubles slot. The old reliables, Gross- Gross- Bigott, will pair up again in the third doubles combination.

Makers of the world's finest SATURDAY, MAY 17;1952' Lacrossers Try For Third Win IUIMMEIiii Penn State's lacrosse team, will go after its third , win in seven starts today wh e n ~.it faces Cornell at 2 p.m. on the golf course. Both clubs lost their last games, State dropping a 16-15 overtime tilt to Butgers and Cornell losing to Syracuse, 12-3. Cornell will be seeking re venge for a 10-5 defeat the Lions handed it last year at Cornell. The win stretched the life-time series record to 15-9 in' favor of State.. Included in that record is a nine-game streak State had go ina froin 1934 to 1942. If Coach Nick Thiel's team can muster as many scores as it did against Rutgers, the Lions could win handily. State, however, has been in and-out all year in the offensive department and should- the Lions hit the nadirlands in the scoring column, the visitors could turn the tables. Scored Nine Goals Against Rutgers. State's attack trio of Dick Rostmeyer, Bob Koons. and Tom Goldsworthy were red-hot as each scored three goals. If this trio could command a repeat performance, State will definitely be hard to handle. At midfield, Thiel will start Wayne Hockersmith, Tony Eagle and Captain Bud Wolfram. Hock ersmith scored four goals against Rutgers, three in the final period (Continued on page seven) BRADFORD, PA. Baltimore ; Md. Bradford, Pa. Uniforms - since 'l.BO By TOM SAYLOR Holds Series Edge
