Lions to Play
Committee Proposes Two
Plans to Decide Winner
The selection of a District Two representative to the
NCAA baseball "College World Series" has been narrowed
down to Penn State, St. Johns, Fordham, and Villanova., A
special playoff series will decide the winner.
This was announced at a meeting in Scranton yesterday
of a committee headed by Eppie Barnes of Colgate.
The committee was unable to agree on a standard bearer
because of the closeness of the records of the respective teams.
The teams were selected on
the basis of the quality of their
schedule, pitching, and their all
around play.
Two Playoff Plans
The Lion diamondmen have a
12-4 record, but they didn't drop
a decision until they had won ten
straight. St. Johns has a 14-3
mark, Fordham is 14-5, and Villa
nova has won nine, lost three,
and tied one.
Two plans for deciding the Dis
trict Two representative have
been proposed.
Penn State's baseball team
will close its '52 season this af
ternoon at Bucknell against the
Bisons. Win or lose the Lion's
NCAA standing won't be af
fected. Bedenk will probably
pitch either Keith Vesling, Ace
Everson, or John Moore while
sticking with the same lineup
which has brought the team an
NCAA District II playoff spot.
'One is for a four-team double
header to be held June 2 at 1:30
p.in. at New Beaver Field. The
two winners would then play each
/other June 3 at 2:30 p.m., the vic
tor in this game becoming the
District Two champion.
Lion-Fordham Game
BecauSe this may conflict with
final examinations, an alternate
plan was proposed. Under this
plan, Penn State would meet
Fordham at 2:30 p.m. Friday at
New Beaver Field.
Golfers Lose to Colgate
In Last Match of Season
What started .out to be a successful golfing season ended on a
sour note Saturday as the Penn State golf team was handed a 6-1
beating by the Red Raiders of Colgate.
This was the second defeat of the season and the second in a row
for the "green team." The other loss was to Navy by a 4-3 score
George Kreidler was the only
victor for the Lions, defeating Al
Shuttleworth, 2 and 1. The rest of
the team showed Rod Eaken de
feated by Bill Edwards, 2 and 1;
Joe Webb by Tom Huber, 6 and 5;
Gordon Stroup by Bruce Miller,
1 up; Hud Samson by. Will Staub;
Warren Gittlen by Dick King, 3
and 2; and Bill Albert by Larry
Larson, 1 up.
The golfers ended their season
with three wins and two losses.
Victories were over Cornell, Pitt,
and Bucknell. Pitt's victory espec
ially was 'a sweet one as the Pan
thers had an undefeated team.
State took the match, 5-2. In the
Bucknell game, the Lions swept
all matches and also best ball,
ending with a 9-0 victory. This
was the only shut-out for the golf
ers. Cornell's game was a 5-2 win.
The Middies handed the Lions
their first defeat, a 4-3 setback.
Eckert Strobecker did a "Frank
Merriwell" finish on the final
green and won the game for the
Navy.
Stroup and Kreidler finished the
season with the best records of the
team. Both showed four wins and
one loss. Other totals show Eaken
with a three win, two loss record;
Samson and *ebb, two win, three
loss record; Albert and Gittlen,
two win, two loss records; and
Bob Bowers with a one win, no
loss record.
In elections held yesterday, Gary
Lewis was elected manager and
Dick Bruce, Kent Clouser, and
Don Lauck were picked as first
managers.
Besides the six game schedule
(Gettysburg match was rained
out), the team entered the Eastern
Intercollc ,, late Golf tournament
against 13 top eastern Colleges.

•revenge for a 17-10 beating State
handed it last year at Hobart.
Up until the final four minutes,
State held the lead and seemed
on its way to victory—mud and
rain to the contrary.
State Grabs Lead
Hobart grabbed a shortlived
1-0 lead in the opening 33 sec
onds on a goal by Kraus, the first
of his four.
The Lions clawed back, how
ever, on two successive goals by
creasemen Tom Goldsworthy, the
first of attackman Bob Koons'
three tallies, and another,by mid
fielder Wayne Hockersmith.
The Statesmen narrowed the
count to a 4-3 on goals by Snape
and Hoover (Scoop) Sutton, an
All-American last year.
Offense Picks Up
State, however, pushed the lead
back to three goals when Koons
and attackman Dick Rostineyer
scored, but two more Hobart
scores against a lone State tally
cut the margin to 7-5 at halftime.
Hobart's offense picked up in
the second half scoring three
times against one State score to
set the stage for the final four
minutes and goals by Kraus and
Snape.

Koons Paces State
Kraus' four scores, paced Ho
bart's scorers while Snape and
Sutton each tallied twice and
midfielder Harold Ness once.
Koons paced State with three
goals while Goldsworthy scored
twice and Wolfram, Hockersmith,
and Rostmeyer once.
Midfielders Tony Eagle, John
