He will be State's first nine-letter man since the freshman rule was put into effect limiting varsity sports corn petition to sophomore, junior and senior years. His accomplishments as a shot putter are remarkable consider ing the fast -he worked at it just a fraction of the time most of his opponents gave the sport. He has placed in the NCAA two straight years, sixth as a sophomore and third as a junior. In football Carey was a great pass-catching end and extra point and field goal kicker. He work concensus All-American selection. He was first regular draft choice for the pro champion Los Ange les Rams. In his three college seasons he caught 65 passes for 1074 yards, a feat the more re markable because the Spartans regularly emphasized a ground attack. act Kenyon Bob Kenyon, a tumbler on this year's gymnastic team and a for mer diver on the now defunct swimming squad, has been named captain of the 1953 gymnastics squad.

Baseball Parade By BARRY FEIN At the rate baseball games are being rained out, there will soon be a backlog of doubleheaders . Cincinnati at Brooklyn, the Card inals at New York, and Chicago Cubs at Boston were postponed yesterday. Major league fielding records up to Sunday show that Hector Rodriguez of the Whit . e Sox and Clint Courtney, Brownie catch er, are leading the American League. Rodriguez, a third baseman, is gloving .980, and Courtney a perfect 1.000 . . . Dodger first sacker Gil Hodges and catcher Roy Campanella are both fielding 1.000 to lead the senior circuit. An interesting facet of fielding is that while the average of 'a second base ma n, shortstop, or third baseman is a good indica tion of his ability, it is not' al ways so in the case of a first baseman. For instance, Hal Chase, generally considered the greatest gloveman of all time at the initial hassock, doesn't hold the highest Yankee average at first base. average at first base. - Not only that, but Stuffy Mc- Innis holds the AL mark of .999 . . A more potent example is lead-footed Ted Kluszewski, the Cincinnati first sacker, who led the NL in fielding last year with a .997 "mark. This was a full .005 over classy Gil HodgeS of the Dodgers . . . An exception, of course, is the horrendous fielding of Walt Dropo of the Red Sox last year. Big Moose carded a mere .987. One reason for the Detioit Tigers poor showing goes all the way back to the retirement of the late Wish Egan. one of the top scouts in the business. No more Houttemans :or Mc- Coskys have been wrapped up for the Bengals since . . . 'A bright spot on the Brooklyn pitching staff is the showing of young Billy Loes. His classy relief hurling has given him a 3-0, record and a sensational 1.42 ERA. Ag Hill Clubs to Meet Tonight in PaNiilion J. K.

Wet Courts Threaten Tennis Match Today As the threat of a possible washout of the Duquesne match at 3:30 p.m. today still hangs over their heads, the tennis Lions en joyed their second day off in a row from scheduled practice sessions yesterday. Coach Sherm Fogg said yesterday that the Duquesne match will be played only if the courts dry in time.

Ed Davis in the number three position Bill Ziegler, out for two weeks with an injured right wrist, is ready to go, and will probably see service in the number four sin gles post. Juniors Bill Forrey and Bill Ray will probably work in the fifth and sixth singles slots.
