Fate NOWA
Saturday
,': .
Although the. weekend trip
for Penn State's lacrossemen
was dampened by the two
losses to Swarthmore and Na
vy, the outlook for the future
is not as dismal as one might
expect.
For one thing, the team's two
toughest opponents seem to be out
of the way, with the exception of
Syracuse. The Lions will be back
in their own class when they play
Hobart on the golf course Satur
day.
. Coach. Nick Thiel was philo
sophical about the "lost weekend."
"We' looked good against Navy
for a while - Saturday," he 'said,
"and . the boys really scrapped.
Our big trouble against both
-Swarthmore and Navy was our
defense," he continued. "They got
a lot more shots than we did, and
that always' means a lot."
Thiel was impressed most by
Swarthmore's Avery Blake, Jr.
"He's big, cap really run, and he
really hurt us," he said. "He's
just about the best all-around la
crosse player.l've ever seen."
The Lions are trying to polish
up their offensive game this week
while waiting for the Hobart in
vasion. Thiel is looking for more
passing from his men, and wants
more "feeders," those who can
pass off to a player cutting for
the goal.
"We're not looking for our men
many times when they are open
with a chance for a shot," he
pointed out.
The genial mentor liked the play
of goalie Don McCollough against
the Garnet and Middies. McCol
lough made many fine stops
against a great barrage of shots
(Navy had 87), and generally per
formed well.
"Although the score, doesn't in
dicate it, he actually played a bet
ter game than the Swarthmore
goalie," Thiel said. Sophomore
_ - -
Joe Erwin, who chipped in with
two goals against the Garnet, also
showed promise for the future.

Break to Resume Practice
With the 1953 tennis opener less than a week away, Coach
Sherm Fogg .and his 12-man team began yesterday to wonder just
when they are going to get some sort of break from the weather.
The Lions will meet Bucknell at Lewistown Tuesday. ,
.lucknell already has one intercollegiate win stashed away, a
6-3' win over the Colonials of
George Washington.
The Bisons will present a mean
problem for Fogg's 'crew to solve
this season. Along with a revenge
motive plus one .meet's experi
ence, Bucknell has in its fold five
of last season's starting six singles
performers, including ace Paul
Remmey.
Other veteran Bisons back for
probable singles jobs are Alan
Goffy, Alan Holtory Spencer Len
hart, and Joe Battis. •
Last season the two clubs split
their matches.
In taking the second match, 5-4,
at home, the Lions capped off a
five-match win streak. . There's
nothing the Bisons would like to
do better than to 'mess up that
win streak. The Lions will be af
ter number six in a row without
loss Tuesday.
Fogg, fighting a slightly-losing
battle with the elements, said both
his singles and doubles lineups
have not been decided and will
probably not be determined until
after the weekend scrimmages,
The Lions schedule is
April 21—Bucknell
25—Syracuse
29—Navy
30—Georgetown
