PAGE SIX Itickmen Baseball Th ielmen To Play Ist Home Game By 808 DUNN The 1953 edition of the Penn State lacrosse team will be unveiled for local fans at 2 p.m. this afternoon, when the stickmen face Hobart on the golf course. Coach Nick Thiel's men already have two games under their belts, having lost to Swarthmore and Navy last weekend. The States men are as yet untested, this being their opener. Expects . Good Account Although the Lions came out second best to the Garnet and Middies last weekend, both these clubs are exceptionally strong thi year, and, by the same to?: both are undoubtedly among top ten squads in the country. Thus with the friendly con of the wide, open spaces of t_ • golf links, and an anticipa large crowd urging the Lions on, Coach Nick Thiel believes his boys will give a good account of them selves. The Nittany Lion squad suf fered a rather heavy loss of play ers last year due to graduation, including Barr Asplundh and the nifty Bud Wolfram. However, many familiar faces are still around. The dependable Lion Cap tain, Wayne Hockersmith, who was one of last season's high scor ers, Tom Goldsworthy, and Dick Rostmeyer are among those re turning, along with Dave Arnold, Bob Pawloski, and Dick Schaefer. Superstitious Inclination Both Thiel and Hobart mentor Francis "Babe" Kraus are faced with the same problem—a short age of experienced players. Ho bart, in fact, lost 20 players from the squad which ran up eight vic tories as against losses only to RPI and Syracuse. Included in the Statesmen victory skein was a narrow 9-8 sqeaker over the Lions. For those who are inclined to be superstitious, the Nittanies should come through with flying colors today. Last year, Penn State dropped its first two games and then came back to cop the next two. One should not be surprised if this one turns intc a real •high scoring battle. Hobart has a fine attack unit to display in Captain Scoop Sutton, John Snape, and Jon Kraus, who scored the win ning goal last year against the Lions. Behind them will be two o ther lettermen, defenseman "Muff" Cook and midfielder Rol ly DeVries. Field Same Lineup Penn State, on the other hand, has been working a lot on offense during the past week, and Coach Thiel is hoping Hockersmith, Goldsworthy, Arnold and Co. will break out with a rash- of goals. The Lions will probably field the same lineup which faced Swarthmore and Navy. Bill Mc- Collough will get the nod at goal; Hockersmith, Pawloski, and Ar nold will be at midfield; Rost- Meyer, Goldsworthy, and Dick Klein on attack, with Schaefer, Jim Dean and. Jim Hay on de fens(!. will round out the starting team. 'e 's game is the first of aight home frays for the Lion:?. Next Saturday, Pennsyl ven.;o. comes to town, followed by Syracuse the next week.

Heat, Cold, Massage Are Trainer's Tools With spring hanging over Penn State, the "Big Man on Campus" Itag can easily be pinned on Messrs. Chuck Medlar and company. What with baseball, spring football drills, track, tennis, and lacrosse in operation, injuries —the athlete's unspoken word— are numerous, From the celebrity down to the raw, eager, freshman, this sin oc curs frequently.' The importance of the athletic trainer to his team's success cannot be overemphasized. Only on occasions does the av erage fan see the trainer in opera tion. When one does see him work, it is usually in the manner of first aid treatment. But what happens behind the scenes? What know ledge does the trainer use in the' fkmction of curing athletic injur ies? Most Important Role A thorough knowledge of the human .anatomy is the trainer's necessity. Bones, muscles, skin, and blood are his' subjects. His weapons are heat, cold, and mas sage. How to apply each and to what extent are the skills of his trade. But playing a more important part in the prevention of injuries are the athletes themselves. What to do on ad+ well as off the field is knowledge that, no ' athlete should overlook. It is a tool that ca be used on a moment's notice. A well-conditioned participant, playing by the rules of the game, seldom receives damaging injury. Conditioning with Weights • An intelligent athlete never drinks ice cold water when he has done a great deal of exercise. Cold liquids often induce vomiting. He waits until he has finished show ering before he even takes a small amount of cold drinking water. A common• saying repeated over and over again by football coaches is "the poorest formation in football is the huddle around the water bucket." The question often arises whe ther or not weight lifting does the athlete much good in the sport in which he wants to try out. The answer to this query is that weight exercises strengthen the whole body. For those of weak-legs and ankles, deep knee bends are of great worth. A well-founded, over-all pro gram (with weight exercises in cluded) is essential. Swimming is considered an aid in the condi tioning program, especially for athletes recovering from injury. The responsibility of keeping in dividual players in top physical condition falls both on the trainer and the participant. The individ ual sl,N , qd never overlook his part in the bargain. For surely, it will tell in the long run. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE.

The score at that time stood at 2-2. • Today the Lions are •in New Brunswick, N.J., where they meet Rutgers in the second game of their weekend stint. They will be seeking their fourth win of the season Right handed Garland Ginger ich„-on the hill for the Lions for the second time this season, had a seven hitter going when the game - was finally, called. The stocky fastballer, who pitched a six-inning nohitter in relief his last outing, was very effective as he farmed 11 men. But the Nittany batting punch, tstanding in the Western Mary contest, was lacking. The 1,..0ns could only produce eight :afeties themselves, with only two runs crossing the plate, both in . the sixth inning. Gingerich Superb Lafayette started the scoring in the first frame when they pushed one run across the plate. Three straight singles' and a long fly ball did the trick. But that was all for the Leopards until' the sixth when they scored on two more singles, an d Weidenham mer's error at shortstop. Aside from those two innings, Gingerich was almost untouch able, alldwing only two other safe ties, one a double by first baseman Bill Hogarty, the only extra-base blow the Leopards were able to v-nadifacture. Leonard Single s The J.Jons couldn't produce a tally until the sixth, when they exploded for two. After Chuck Russo had grounded out to short, Weidenhammer singled to left and stole second. Werner singled send ing him to th i r d, but he was thrown out trying to go home on the hit. Werner scored when cen ter fielder Sil Cerchie singled to left. Catcher Bill Leonard slashed an other single to left. Hubie Kline walked, and Werner romped home when Lafayette hurler Bob Ket chel threw a wild pitch. Leonard also tried to score on the pitch and almost made it, but he was finally caught in a rundown. The Lions threatened to score :n the seventh when first base man Pat Kennedy blasted one of Ketchels slants to deep left for a triple. The Nittanies couldn't get him home, however, as Ketchel, very , sharp on the mound, set them down one, two, three.
