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.

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.

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.

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
