PAM; qTx ine omps 9al • Golfers • eat Pitt By DICK McDOWELL Penn State's baseball team gets back into action this afternoon when it meets Gettysburg at 3:30 on Beaver Field. Yesterday the Lions walloped American University, 19-1, to win their fourth contest of the season. Pounding two Eagle pitchers for 12 hits, the Nittanies had little trouble in get ting the win as surprise starter Keith Vesling , and Jack Krumrine teamed up to hold the hapless Washington, D.C. squad to five safeties. Vesling got credit for the victory, his third of the season. After tallying once in the first frame, the Lions, aided by 13 walks and seven American U. errors, poured runs across the plate in every inning but the second Thrower Johnson Wild The Lions, although scoring 11 runs, could muster only three hits in the first five innings, but opened up in the latter part of the game with Sil Cerchie, Tom Werner, and Pat Kennedy lead ing the attack. Cerchie collected three safeties and Werner and Kennedy each had two. However, Joe Bedenk's crew doesn't have to apologize for its slow start. The Lion batters simp ly didn't get a chance to swing at the ball in those five innings. Eleven of the 13 free passes came in those frames, as losing pitcher Luke Johnson threw the horse hide everywhere but into the Hart Woods parking lot. The Eagles, a pathetic ball club yesterday, scored their lone tally in the first frame when they put together two singles and a walk. But that was the last time Ameri can U. baserunners saw home plate. From there on Vesling had them stymied. Russo Doubles One Nittany marker crossed the plate in the bottom half of the frame on two walks, a balk, and Sil Cerchie's towering fly to cen-: ter field. In the second the Lions couldn't score, but opened up in the third. Four walks, an error, a wild pitch, Chuck Russo's double, Cer chie's infield single, and Hubie Kline's fly ball brought five tuns across, and the Lions took a lead which was never threatened. In the fourth; Johnson was as wild as ever, and the Lions took full advantage of it. Werner led off with an infield single,-Cerchie and Leonard walked. At this point Jay Cone relieved Johnson and proceeded to walk two Lion runs in. He finally retired the side after 10 Nittany batters had come to the plate. Shortstop , Boots 4 State added three more in the fifth without the benefit of a base hit. This was probably the most unusual inning of the very un usual ball game. Russo led off and was hit by a pitched ball. Ron Weidenhammer flied to cen ter field—and then it happened. American U. shortstop Jim Wil liams committed the first of four errors which plagued him in that frame, three of these coming in succession. He erred on Werner's grounder. and after Cerchie went out third (Continued on page seven) Lench Chosen New Mat Manager Ronald Lench, sixth semester arts and letters major, was re cently chosen varsity wrestling manager for the 1953-54 season.

SAVE MONEY Will pick up and deliver rackets DICK ROBINSON, Theta Xi Ph. 6228 or 2161 Baseball's Big Leagues By The Associated Press The Chicago White Sox found the home run range for the first Lane this season today, chibbing three into the seats, but again needed some clutch relief pitch ing by Harry Dorish to carve out a 9-7 victory over the Detroit Ti gers. The Tigers rushed across five runs in the bottom of the ninth . and twice ha't.l. the potential win ning run at the plate. But Dor ish, a ca_m righthander, retired Bob Nieman and Jim Delsing to put out the fire. In all, the White Sox piled up 15 hits—four of them by Lollar— off the inept Tiger pitching. De troit has used 24 hurlers this sea son while losing seven of eight games—the last five in a row. Third baseman Ed Matthews lashed across six runs on two of Milwaukee's four homers and a double today as the Braves plastered the Chicago Cubs, 15- 6, to launch a "new neighbor" rivalry. The first meeting of the trans planted Braves and the Cubs, with home bases 90 miles apart, also produced two Bruin homers, one a prodigious two-run wallop by Hank Sauer.

O OLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA By ROY WILLIAM S State's linksmen copped win number one yesterday and slammed Pittsburgh with its third straight loss by a 6-1_ score. Six of the Nittanies came through with winning scores, while Rich McCarthey, Pittsburgh's only letterman in the lineup, took the Panther's lone win. McCarthey downed Joe - Webb, one of State's five lettermen, 4-3. The Pittsburgher played effective golf, while his opposition couldn't get into the "swing" of things. The six winners for State were Rod Eaken, Gordon Stroup, War ren Gittlan, Lou Riggs, George Kreidler, and John Carney. Three foursomes were played, while the two odd men—Johr Carney and Pitt's Neil Huffamai. —went against each other in th, first round to be played. Came:, a junior, was the victor, with a 7-_ card. In the first foursome, Rod Eak cn outshot Pittsburgh's Phil Hu bacher, 4-3, and shot a low 71, just Lwo over par. Meanwhile, Mc l;arthey was winning his team's ;one point by beating Joe Webb. State batted a thousand on the second foursome as both men earned one point a piece for the Lions. Gordon Stroup was edged by Bobby Wise, 3-2, while War ren Gittlan was taking full com mand of strengthening State's slim 2-1 lead. Gittlan Wins, 3-2 Gittlan was medalist for the 1 day by shooting a par 69. One heartbreaker an d two two-foot putts made the difference be tween very good score and a three under par card of excellent shoot ing. After missing two of the two footers, Gittlan putted to within three inches of the cup. He care lessly bumped the sure one-stroke shot, and the ball rolled away from the cup. The extra stroke that Gittlan had to take to com plete the hole was, the one that put him even with the board in stead of being one under. Gittlari's 3- defeat of Bill Stockdale was accompanied by a three stroke round on the 5-par seventeenth hole. His two under par gave the Lion the only eagle of the day. Coach Rutherford re marked that Gittlan just couldn't li do anything wrong. . The final two team points for the Rutherfordmen were won by Lou Riggs, a junior newcomer, and George Kreidler. Riggs took Paul Chest. 5-4. while Kreidler defeated another .of Coach Mc- Cormick's boys, Chuck Uram, 5-3. Rutherford stated, "I was very pleased with the brand of golf that the boys played today. Con sidering the hammering we have been getting from the weather, they came through very well, al though they had limited pre-sea -on practice." ~'WARM Eadiattm agetimoie VITTORIA GASSMAN GLORIA GRAHAM •THE GLASS WALL" BARBARA STANWYCK PRESTON FOSTER "ANNIE OAKLEY" GREAT MUSIC!

April Showers -Hurt Lion Relay Hopes April showers bring May flowers, so they say; however, they haven't helped Chick Werner's thinclacls blossom into potential winners. With all the inclement weather that has swept through the Nittany Valley this spring, the trackmeri have found themselves grounded all too often to permit• them to round into shape. Every time Werner has slated time trials the ' weatherman has responded with rain, snow, or winds that have forced him to postpone them Although the team's perform ance. at the Penn Relays this weekend may seem disappointing, the boys will perform much bet-. ter in future competition, the for ward-looking coach observed. Still on the topic of weather, the Nittany track mentor said he felt that, "with sunshine and good weather, this team will begin to sprout." • Werner has decided that he will take only one hurdler, Bill You kers, who will compete in the 120-yard high hurdles. Three men have good chances of placing in their events at the Relay Carnival. Dan Lorch, pole vaulter, has the potential to clear the bar at 13'. High jumper Jim Herb can hit 6-6 and Rosey Grier may prove a threat in both the shot put and the javelin. But, Werner pointed out, no matter how outstanding they perform, they may be beaten, for they will be facing some of the finest track and field stars in the world. Take the case of Denis Johans- THURSDAY, APRIL 23,. 1953 By HERM WEISKOPF son. Finnish track star who pulled an upset win in last year's Ben jamin Franklin Mile. He'll be run ning against Sture Landqvist, the Swede who will be competing for Oklahoma A&M; Len Truex, the Ohio State whippet who halted Fred Dwyer's victory streak this winter; and Fred Wilt, the FBI star Johansson had to beat in or der to win the event last year. Then there'S Lafayette's Jack Ellis. Last summer the 235-pound discus thrower won the IC4A title, set a new record in the NYAC games with a heave of 158 feet, and placed fifth in the Olympic trials. . Manhattan's defending mi 1 e quartet of Wallace Pina, Ronald Ferraro, Lou Jones, Jr., and Vern Dixon will be hard to beat. La- Salle will be out to duplicate its victory in the Middle Atlantic Conference one-mile event, and with veterans like Bob Quinn, Charlie Peoples, Joe Walker and John Manning, they have a good chance. The Lions won't .have to face all these stars, but it is a cross section of the competition they will be up against.
