Lion ' Nine - Scores;
State Plays
W. Maryland
Team Today
By DICK McDOWELL
Coach Joe Bedenk and his
baseball crew get back to work
today at Beaver Field when
the Lions meet Western Mary
land at 3:30. Bedenk will send
righthander Jerry Troy to the
mound as the Lions shoot for
their third straight win of the
young season.
StOcky Garland Gingerich, giv
en little mention on the pre-sea
son dope sheets, stepped into the
Penn State baseball limelight
Saturday as the Lions outlasted
Villanova, 12-9, to pick up their
second win.
Gingerich, a righthanded sopho
more, came out of the Nittany
bullpen in the fourth inning after
two other State hurlers—starter
Larry Bayer and Jack Krumrine
—had failed to hold the Wildcat
bats. He stepped to the mound
with the Lions leading, 9-8, no
body out, and two men qn—and
proceeded to pitch no-hit ball for
six innings.
Third baseman Aubic Kli n e,
catcher Bill Leonard - and center
filder Sil Cerchie provided most
of the batting power for tll e
Lions, who were outhit, 10-9.
Kline belted a double and single'
in three trips to the plate to drive
home four runs. Leonard also col
lected two safeties, and Cerchie
blasted a 375-foot home run with
the sacks empty.
An estimated- 1500 fans saw six
pitchers give up a total of 14 walks
and 19 hits in the scoring melee
which lasted almost three hours.
• The Wildcats started the scor
ing in the first inning, touching
Bayer for one run on two hits—
one a triple by centerfielder
Chuck McGuckin. State was not
behind for long, however. It got
to Villanova's Don Sommers for
six markers in the bottom half of
the frame.
Sommers couldn't fi n d th e
plate. He walked five, was tapped
for an infield single and an error,
was clipped for a double by Kline,
and the damage was done. Six
Penn State • runs had crossed the
plate.
The Lions added two more in
the second, three in the fifth, and
another in the sixth. Villanova
scored . their second run in the
second frame, and pushed five
across the plate in the third. They
added two more in the fourth. -
Bedenk will make one, or pos
sibly two changes in his lineup
today. Speedy Rex Bradley, who
replaced Tom Werner in leftfield
Saturday, will get the nod at that
spot again. Rightfield is still a
question. The Lion skipper could
go with one of four men—Pete
Cherish, Bob Schoellkopf, Wer
ner, and Art Walker. The remain
der of the lineup is expected to
remain intact.
DUGOUT NOTES: Vesling will
be ready for relief role if needed

You There!
COACH, RIP ENGLE (left) points out mistakes made during the
six-day practice sessions. The Nittany Lion mentor is endeavoring
to prepare his boys for double duty since the two-platoon system
was discarded. Although Engle is minus many of his stalwarts.
he possesses some 85 hopefuls. Coaches listening to the conversa
tion are (1. to r.) Jim O'Hora, Joe Paterno, and Al Michaels
(with baseball cap).
Engle Faces Problem
With Gridder's Absences
By SAM PRO,COPIO
Aside from the fact that Coach Rip Engle carries one of the
roughest football schedules in the country this fall, Penn State's
mentor is confronted with another obstacle; namely, the discarded
two-platoon system.
Penn State's '53 hopefuls are in their seventh day of spring
practice. Approximately 85 are battling for starting berths
Since the two-platoon system '
--
has been elithinated, Engle must
teach his men to play both defen
sive and offensive tactics. This
alone which wi 11 change the
players from specialist to versatile
—is not a major problem. His pri
mary obstacle, however, is to
teach those players who, for one
reason or another, will not parti
cipate in the 20-day drill period
that is allowed by the NCAA rul
ings.
Out of the 22 starters from last
year's squad only three—Don Mal
inak, Gene Danser, and Jack
Sherry—are going through spring
drills at the moment.
• Engle' is minus Jesse Arnelle,
Keith Vesling, Matt Yanosich, and
Rosey Grier who are performing
in two spring sports, baseball and
track. Quarterback Tony Rados
is still out of action and will un
likely witness any action until
fall.
Sam Green and Bob Szajna, who
ayette and Rutgers . Kline leads
the RBI department with six.

will not be back for the '53 cam
paign, enhance to the burden even
more. Green was a great sopho
more backerup, while Szajna was
the man behind the winged-T
whenever Rados was sitting on the
bench.
Still other notable absentees are
Don Shank, Pete Fuhrman, Al
Bowden. Pete Shopa, and Orville
Haldeman.
Engle compared these absences
to that of a student. It's like a prof
trying to teach a student' who
hasn't been to class, he explained.
"It's a miracle, if he , (the• prof)
can do it," the coach continued.
Despite these debits and credits,
Engle, as well as the Penn State
fans, will be able to scrutinize
State's '53 foOtball edition May 2,
When the Nittany Lions close
their spring drills with the annual
Blue-White game.

You would have thought the Mil

game of the World Series from

"That's No. 1," they shouted a.,
