Thiel Lacrossemen Face
Hobart Team Tomorrow
•
By 808 DUNN
Penn State's lacrossemen have been hard at work this
week in an effort to
.iron out some of their rough spots, as
they await the invasion of the Hobart Statesmen tomorrow.
The Lions held a full-scale scrimmage on Wednesday and
Coach Nick Thiel was generally pleased with the results.
Thiel is seriously considering
inserting sophomore George Bick
elhaupt at close attack in place of
Ditk Rostmeyer. Bickelhaupt, a
Floral Park, N.Y. product, has im
pressed the Lion mentor with his
fine play, and Thiel thinks the
only possible hindrance to the
move is Rostmeyer's advantage in
experience.
State will be facing a Hobart
team which will be playing its
first game. Statesman Coach
"Babe" Kraus, starting his 27th
season at the helm, is not very op
timistic about his ,chances this
year. Graduation and academic
difficulties have stripped the
squad which has won 17 out of its
last 21 starts.
The Statesme* lost All-Amer
ica midfielder -Lee Letizia, among
others, from the team that nipped
the Nittanies 9-8 in a thriller last
year. But they have a fine attack
combination in Capt. Scoop Sut
ton, John Snape, and John Kraus,
son of the coach. Sutton and Snape
received All-America honorable
mention last year.
Thiel and his men especially
have their eyes set on stopping
Kraus, for it was he who last
year, when only a freshman,
notched the winning .goal against
State.
Sutton, the Statesman captain,
registered 26 goals and 9 assists
in 10 games last year. Snape, a
junior, was Hobart's leading scor
er last year as he racked up 34
goals and 12 assists.
The Lions will rely heavily on
their own attackmen to counter
the Statesmen. The old adage, "a
good offense is the best defense,"
certainly holds in lacrosse, and
with veteran Tom Goldsworthy,
Dick Klein, and either Bickel
haupt or Rostmeyer, Thiel feels he
has a strong scoring potential.
Goldsworthy and Klein teamed
up for State's lone goal against
Navy last Saturday. Klein is con
sidered a good feeder and Thiel
wants to develop more teamwork
and passing in the rest of the
team. .
The Lions wi 11 hold a short
workout today, and then rest for
the game, which will start at
2 p.m. on the golf course.

59th
The Nittany thinclads will engage in the 59th annual Penn Re
'ays April 24-25 at Philadelphia's Franklin Field.
The Relay Carnival has the distinction of being the oldest meet
in the country since it has been held annually since 1895, a year
before the revival of the Olympic Games at. Athens. However, it is
antedated by the IC4A's, which
begpn in 1876, but which have
not !been held annually.
In 1893-94 the "Carnival" was
held on an experimental• basis,
with Princeton as the only com
petitor. The games were formally
organized in 1895 as an inter
collegiate and interscholastic meet
to inaugurate the opening of
Franklin Field. The _idea for the
Relays came largely from Frank
B. Ellis and H. Laussat Geyelin.
From its meager beginning, the
Carnival has grown until it at
tracts approximately 3500 entries
representing the educational in
stitutions of the East, South, Mid
dle West, and frequently the Pa
cific Coast. International entries
have come from England, Scot
land, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Cu
ba, Puerto Rico, Canada an d
Hawaii.
Sportsmanship is one of the
goals in any sport, and there
could hardly be a better example
of it than during the 1922 games.
The distance medley turned into
a duel between Georgetown and
Penn State. On the last relay,
Jim Connolly, of Georgetown, was
running against State's Larry
Eli ields.
The two runners began the last
relay on even terms, and as the
bell sounded for the final lap
they were running stride for
stride. Connolly led at the last
turn, but he was running wide
and Shields tried to pass him on
the inside, which was illegal. The
two men collided and Connolly
fell and dropped his bato n.
Shields, realizing what had hap
pened, stop p e d, helped the
Georgetown man up, and then
waited until Connolly was in the
lead before he started to run.
Shields won the race, but the
referee had to disqualify the
State team and credit the win to
Georgetown.

WASHINGTON, April 16 (W)—
President Eisenhower shed his hat
and coat in Griffith Stadium to
day, spat on a brand new base
ball and opened the American
League season here with a high,
hard overhand.
Then, for the benefit of photo
graphers. he threw a second time
and hit an umpire in the pants.
The President's first toss, thrown
right-handed, was caught by
Washington outfielder Ken Wood,
who later got the ball autographed.
• The weather was bright and
clear when the President entered
the park to the cheers of thou
sands of fans and the strains of
"Hail to the Chief," played by
the U.S. Army Band.
Vice. President Nlxon and House
Speaker Martin of Massachusetts
took part in the flag-raising cere
mony in centerfield, and then
the President stood up to throw
the first ball.
Eisenhower repeated the per
formance for photographers. This
time the ball tivent untended onto
the diamond, grazing the seat of
an umpire's pants.

Lions Seek 4th and sth;
Face Lafayette and Rutgers
Garland "Gerk" Gingerich, Joe Bedenk's newly found
starter, toes the rubber for the Lions this afternoon when
they meet Lafayette at Easton, Pa.
Gingerich earned. the starting assignment on the basis
of his six inning; no-hit relief stint against Villanova last
week. The stocky right hander will be going after his sec
ond win of the season.
The Lions go .into the ball
game carrying a three game win
ning streak, with wins over Le
high (4-3), Villanova (12-9), and
Western Maryland (17-6). Follow
ing the contest the Nittanies will
leave for New Brunswick, N.J.,
where they take on Rutgers to
morrow afternoon.
Spots Weaknesses
In' that contest, Keith Vesling
will go to the mound in an effort
to capture his third win in a row.
Vesling won his first with a six
hit performance against Lehigh,
and pitched another 'six-hitter,
this time in nine innings of relief,
to get his second.
With three games in the books,
Bedenk has been able to get a
better idea just where his club's
weaknesses lie. Watching infield
practice *the day after the Lions'
17-6 shellacking of Western Mary
land, the Lion skipper summed it
up this way:
"We've made plenty of physical
errors, but those are expected this
early in the season and.. can_be
ironed out. It's the mental errors
that we have to worry about" :
No HUstle Lacking
Knowing Bedenk's ,past balt
ball clubs, it's easy to figure out
just what he's aiming for. He's'
the type of manager who likes
to field d hustling ball club, and
he searches for the player who is
never self satisfied—one who al
ways seeks to improve his play
on the field.,
The Lions appear to have plenty
of hustle this spring, although•
the weather conditions under
which they met the Terriors un
doubtedly slowed them dov7Ti
some.
Along with this hustle, the pow
er output seems also to be there—
proven in the Terrior contest
when the Lions— smashed three
home •runs and three triples. The
pitching, although shaky in spots,
has looked good.
