THJRSDAY, lvtAT 1952 Bedenk Receives Baseball Award Just when the Lion baseball team was scheduled to play its first game on the unbeatable-to-date Beaver Field after a six-game road swing, rain and wet grounds took a hand yesterday afternoon . and completely washed out the game with Temple: It will not be replayed. The day Wasn't entirely lost, however, as Penn State's head Coaph Joe Bederik was presented an award from the American As- sociation of College Baseball coaches for more than 25 years of service to college baseball. A handful of optimistic specta tors—less than the Temple and Nittany p'l a y e r s—was on hand while Temple University's sports publicity director Bo b Greasey awarded Bedenk a bronze recog nition plaque. - Greasey said that it was pre sented, in addition to Bedenk's 25 years of'service, for his "keep ing college baseball alive . . . un ceasing efforts and fine devotion • . . and, very excellent record at Penn State." When he accepted the plaque Bedenk said, "I wish I had 25 more years to serve." The Lions will wind up their home season Saturday against Colgate and complete the entire schedule in an away game with Bucknell Tuesday. With a 12-4 record and only two games left • to play, it isn't likely that the Lions will receive NCAA consideration when a com mittee of that group meets Mon day in Scranton. ... .

STATE COLLEGE. , , Frg*SYLVANTA Stickmen To Seek 3d At Hobart Penn State's lacrosse team will be facing another strong attack trio when it clashes Saturday with always-strong Hobart in an away-game Coach Nick Thiel's charges will have to put a halt to the high scoring tactics of sophomore John ny Snape and junior Hoover (Scoop) Sutton. Snape registered six scores in Hobart's last match, a 16-6 win over Union. Sutton also scored at will, tallying five times. Snape's six goals raised his sea son's, total to 27 for eight games while handing out 12 assists. Sut ton has scored 21 times while as sisting eight times. Hobart possesses a 6-2 record, including a 7-3 win over Cornell at the beginning of the season. The Big Red, however, has since improved greatly and -it reached its peak against State, beating the Lions, 12-6. At Hobart last year, State en tered the game as distinct under dogs, but when the smoke had cleared State emerged the victor, 17-10, handing Hobart its second loss against nine victories: Hobart, however, has seven men back from last year's first team, including Sutton and Snape. Captain-goalie Hank Rosen berg is also back and he is a_good bet for All-American honors—The Maryland senior has - proved him self a brilliant defensive strate gist. LOCK HAVEN .

Victorious over Army (77-63) in its only dual meet of the cam paign, Coach George Eastman' is seeking revenge for State's cross country conquest last fall. Eastman not only has top flight sprinters to carry his hopes, but also has a crack mile relay, plus Lou Jones and Vern Dixon, for the individual 440, pole vaulter George Zutland, high jumper Frank Gaffnel and numerous oth ers who are all capable of giving a good account of themselves. Undoubtedly the main center of attraction is focused on th e sprinters. The quartet of Jack o'- 06nnell, Lindy Remigino, Joe Schatzle, and Bob Carty have wasted no time in surging to the top of the Eastern powers. In their previous relay debuts (Seton Hall, Perin, and Los An geles), the "Fearsome Foursome," as they are called at Manhattan, have been spreadeagling the run ning country. The quartet which has long mastered the quarter-and half mile baton passing.races and been consistent winners, no doubt will be thorns in the sides of Coach Chick Werner's athletes.

A glance at quarter milers Jones and Dixon also reveals some interesting sidelights. In high school, Dixon anchored a Bishop Loughlin team in 0:47.7, and dur ing the past indoor season, he hit 0:47.8. Dixon. on the other hand, is almost as fast. Last year Lou ran the quarter mile in 0:48.3. The speedy soph could conceivably do 47 flat or better if he were pushed. Pole vaulter Zurland has been a 13' or better scaler and could reach 13'5" if th e competition were keen . 4 Gaffney has been high jump ing around 6'4" which is about the same height that Nittany Jim Herb has been doing.
