Pitt has never beaten a Sherm Fogg coached' State tennis team. The string now totals six matches and carries over Fogg's six year stay as Nittany head man. Pitt's Ace Defeated Only sophomores Bruz Ray and Dez Long came out on the long end of the singles action.

Dick Gro s s outsteadied the number four Panther, Joe Bendal, in three, 4-6. 7-5, 6-4. Baffles Opponent Luis (Gus) Bigott, chopping in his familiar number six position, baffled Harry Duncan with a variety of chops and drops to win easily, 6-1, 6-4. The all-triumphant doubles outfits, with the exception of the Ray-Long duo, went three sets in taking their wins. Robinson-Dav is, top Lion pair, finished strong to get the nod over Campney: Weinstein, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. The number three team of Gross-Bigott took a set to get started but finished up with a flurry, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3. Sports Family Wayne Hockersmith, of New Cumberland, brother of the Lion football tackle, Bill Hockersmith, Is Penn State's ace lacrosse player. Cornell Hands Stickmen sth Loss of Season, 12-6 Cornell's lacrosse team combined good shooting, good stick ' checking, and a lapse in the Penn State defense to hand the Lions their fifth loss, 12-6, Saturday on the golf course. It was Cornell's third win against five losses, while State now Owns a 2-5 slate. Biblically speaking, State's "spirit was willing, but its flesh was weak." The Lions gave it all they had, but Cornell took advantage of two glaring errors by goalie Don Bell to pull even, 2-2, in the first period, and after, that the New Yorkers went steadily ahead. State Scores First Prior to the Bell misfortune, State took the lead at 6:28 on an unassisted goal by second mid fielder Lucien Girard. Less than a minute later, attackman Bob Koons snared a pass from mid fielder John Yohman and State had a 2-0 lead. Then came Bell's misplays. Cornell defenseman John Will raced up to the field with the ball, crossed midfield, and then fired a shot from about 50 feet. Bell seemingly blocked. the shot, but at the last minute the ball trickled from his stick and rolled into the goal. Bosshart Scores Five With less than a minute left in the first quarter, attackman Dick Bosshart drove in from the side and fired a shot straight at Bell. The u s u ally reliable goalie seemingly again stopped the shot, Golfers Lose Match On Final Green With a somewhat dramatic finish by Navy's Eckert Stro becker, the Middies of Anna polis ended State's hopes for an undefeated golfing season on Saturday by a 4-3 setback. The match wasn't decided till the last moments of the final round of golf. Up to that time, the Lions and Middies were even with 3 up. Teeing off on the 16th hole of the final twosome, Nittany George Kreidler had committed a foul by setting the ball ahead of the mark ers. His subsequent hit veered off to the left and gave Navy man Strobecker, a lead going into the 17th hole. Sews Up Game, Strobecker failed to capitalize on hi s opponents mistake and missed a four foot putt to extend the match to the final hole. Then, making a fine recovery by chipping out of the rough, he placed his ball only a few feet away from the 18th pin and sewed up his match as well as the meet. • In the other matches, Rod Eak en defeated John Inman, the Mid dies' captain, 3 and 2. Inman was one of the four Navy qualifiers in the EIGA tourney. Joe Webb lost to George Hall, 2 and 1, and Hud Samson was taken by Frank Thomas, 3 and 2. Stroup Is Medalist These are the second defeats for both Webb and Samson. Joe lost at Colgate, 1 up, while Hud lost on the last hole at Pitt. Gordon Stroup, medalist fo r (Continued lon page seven) By TOM SAYLOR but the ball again slipped from Bell's stick and dropped into the goal, for the first of Bosshart's five scores. Cornell scored an other tally before the period ran out on a shot by attackman George Bogar, the first of his three. Cornell Leads at Half, 7-4 Two more scores ran- Cornell's lead to 5-2 before attackman Tom Goldsworthy slammed one in to put the skids to Cornell's attack. The Big Red was not to be denied, however, as midfielder Herb 800 l and Bosshart sand;- wiched goals around a score by Lion midfielder Tony Eagle to run the count to 7-4 at half. Bosshart and Bogar continued to plague State with their hard driving game at attack in the sec ond half. Goldsworthy's tally was the lone State goal in the third period against three by the New Yorkers, the last one by Bosshart. Two more goals by Bosshart in the final stanza more than coun teracted attackman Do c Rost meyer's tally at the start of the period.

' In the 100-yard dash, State's Polito got off to a fast start and was never headed as he sprinted the century straightaway in 10 flat, with Pitt's co-captain John Patellos following at, his ,heels. INittaily Jack Milsom placed - third. Herd Clears 61 3 / 8 " As was predicted, the 880 turned out to be the closest-contested race of the day. Pre4avorite Roes sler won the event in a fast 1:55.6 timing. State's -middle distance ce ran neck and neck with Panth er Dick Webb, as both ran a fast 56 quarter. Roessler pulled ahead in the backstretch, only to have Webb close the margin. Then Bob forged ahead on the last turn of the last lap to win by a stride.
