SATIMPAY, MAY 2,19 M
Titicikitheri Away;
Thinclads Run Ist Dual Meet;
Middies Unloten,= Seek 4th
ANNAPOLIS; Md., ,-,l4fay„, l„—chick Werner and his crew of 25
thinclads arrived here today bus,'filled with the hope of sinking
the Middies in tomorrow's meet. The e Lions weren't greeted with a 12-
gun salute, but they can be sure it was only because the Middies are
saving all their ammunition for the ensuing battle.
State's amicable track mentor is hoping for good weather, he
said, for he feels that with a
little sunshine his team will be
gin to • reap the • harvest of its,
practice sessions, which have been
continually clouded over by cold,
rain and snow.
This will be the initial dual
meet of the season for the Blue
and • White, while the Middies
have already tucked away three
wins without a loss.' In their two
most recent outings, they finished
first in triangular meets. On April
11 they scored 71 points, while
Pitt and Georgetown each tallied
56. The next Saturday it was
Navy 73, Yale 57 1 / 2 and Penn 31 1 / 2 .
Navy- boasts a fine mile relay
team, which turned in a sizzling
time of 3:20.1 as they won in the
Pitt-Georgetown meet. Against
Yale and Penn the foursome of
Rodgers, Peterson, Czaya and
Branson lowered the above mark
by 0:02.1.
In the 440-yard dash the Lion
entries of Dave Leathern and 011ie
Sax will probably be pitted
against Midshipmen Branson and
Czaya. Branson was clocked at
0:49.1 as he won over the Panthers
and Hoyas. The following week
he won again, although he was
two-tenths of a second slower.
Teammate Czaya came in second
on both occasions. .
_ .
Sprint stars for Navy include
Midshipmen Kane and Cole. In
the April 11 meet Kane won the
100-yard dash in 0:10.9 and fin-
Alpha Gamma Rho Wins
In Intramural Soccer, 2-0
Alpha Gamma Rho remained
in a first place
. tie in the intra
mural fraternity soccer league as
play continued on its first week's
schedule last night. The Rho's,
who were in control of the game
most of the time; blanked a good
Sigma Phi Epsilon team, 2 to 0.
In many incidents fortune wasn't
with them as potential goals just
missed their mark. Bachtle and
Smith did the scoring.
Beta Theta Pi won its second
consecutive match as it outplayed
Alpha Epsilon Pi, 2-0. Al Wick
and Bruce Ranken did the scoring
for the Beta's. Outstanding per
formances were also had by
Frank Wick and the Frey broth
ers, Don and Doug.
On the adjacent field, Acacia
scored its. second straight victory
by trouncing the hapless Alpha
Chi Sigma brothers, 3 to 0. John
son was the star of the game with
three goals to his credit. Acacia
showed a good defense as it gave
its opponents few scoring oppor
tunities.
The final fraternity game of
the night saw Sigma Nu outlast
Kappa Sigma to win 1 to 0. The
loss was a heart-breaker for Kap
pa Sigma. A big. scramble was
had for the ball in front of the
Sigma's goal. The goalie went
out in defense of his territory
but failed to kick the ball out of
the reach of Sigma Nu's Walls.
Walls' accurate boot turned out
to be the margin of victory. , .

These are the big guns for the
Navy, the men who will try to
shell the Lions out of Annapolis.
The Lions, however, have a
formidable fleet of their own. The
trio of Roy Brunjes, Co-captain
Bob Roessler and Don ,Austin will
be hard to beat in the 880. One
of the biggest weapons in the
Lion attack will be Austin, who
turned in two stellar perform
ances at the Penn Relays last
weekend. Other outstanding corn
batants for the Lions will be
milers Red Holen and Lamont
Smith; Co-captain Jim Herb, ace
Nittany high jumper; and Dan
Lorch, Werner's best pole vaulter.
The. Middies and the Lions met
for the first time on May 12, 1906
at Annapolis. The score read, 61 1 / 2
to 34 1 / 2 in favor of Navy. The
Lions were beaten two more
times, 1910 and 1923, before they
turned the tables and won in 1924,

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
INFIELD—Strong defensively and dangerous offensively. At
third base, Hubie Kline has been eating up ground balls all season
and is hitting a solid .296. Shortstop Ron Weidenhammer and second
baseman Charley Russo ..re developing into a first-rate doubleplay
combination. Both are fast on their feet, and sure with the glove,
"Weld" is particularly adept in getting away a fast throw. At first
base Pat Kennedy, who played behind Don Shank at the beginning
of the season, has been showing some pretty flashy wares. He's not
bad - with the bat either. Right now he's clubbing the ball at a .333 clip,
OUTFIELD—SoIid! With Rex Bradley, Sil Cerchie, and Tom
Werner in the outer gardens, and Bob Schoellkopf and Pete Cherish
providing the bench depth, there shouldn't be any worries here.
Bradley, a hustling speedster, has been in left field for the last
five games, and has won the praise of many with his flashy fielding.
Captain Cerchie probably the most dangerous man on the team as
far as the opposition is concerned. He runs, he hits, he throws—and
he hustles. What more can one man do? No problem in centerfield.
Rightfielder Tom Werner is another Lion) strongpoint. Switched I
from left to right to make room for the faster Bradley, Werner has
been a big man at the plate. He's hittin' .354.
CATCHING—In Bill Leonard, Joe Bedenk has a first-rate back
stop. The big righthand hitter leads the team percentage-wise, boast
ing a .428 average. Defensively he's sound. He handles pitchers well,
can get those high, twisting poppers with little trouble, and is sure
with the glove. A hard-working hustler, too.
Right now the Lions are working for a repeat District Two
championship. They have a long climb ahead of them since 11 games
remain on the schedule, most of which are District teams. There's
an old saying that goes: "Don't count your chickens before they're
hatched." And with that in mind, let's say that the Lions have the
potentialities to win it.

A LOOK AT THE BASEBALL 'LIONS . .
Might be a good time to take a quick inside peek at the Penn
State baseball team. When any team begins to win with regularity,
the average fan likes to take time out for a quick analysis to find
out why. Let's give it a whirl here: •
PITCHING—Probably the most outstanding featUre in the Nit
tany success this spring. Keith Vesling and Ga r land, "Gerk"
Gingerich, Joe Bedenk's front line hurlers, have been masterful.
The pair have received credit for all seven of the Lion wins. Ves,
a righty with a jet-propelled fast ball, has fanned 44 enemy batsmen
in. 43% innings of work while compiling a 4-1 record and a 1.85
earned run average., Gingerich, who is 3-0, has a 0.31 ERA. Enough
said! Behind these two, Larry Bayer and Jack Krumrine are ever
ready for some sound relief work or a spot starting assignment.
Baseball is a funny game. It's life blood is percentage. Even
the best 'lose. Great pitchers have bad days, powerful sluggers
often can't buy a base hit, and the best fielders do make errors.
Guess that's what makes the sport the great institution that it is.

Syracuse
Lions After Ist
Win of Season
The first course of an inviting
Saturday sport's menu will be
served this morning on the golf
course, when Penn State's winless
but scrappy lacrosse team tackles
a highly rated Syracuse squad.
The action will get underway at
10 a.m.
The Orangemen, who requested
the moved-up starting time, come
to State College with a 2-1 record
to show for this years' activities.
The Orange opened with a win
over Cortland State Teachers
College, and followed this up
with a 10-6 win Wednesday over
Cornell. Their setback came at
the hands of Dartmouth.
Thiel to Change Lineup
The Lions, on the other hand,
have an 0-4 record for the season.
Playing with a mixture of vet
erans and sophomores, the Nit
tanies have shown flashes of good
offensive attack at times, but
have lacked an adequate defense
for the most part.
Coach Nick Thiel, in an effort
to stem the tide, expects to make
a few changes in the lineup. Cap
tain Wayne Hockersmith ,will
open as usual at midfield, but Jim
DeVoe and Luke Girard will re
place the injured Dave Arnold
and Bob Pawloski. The attack
trio will consist of Dick Rost
mayer, Tom Goldsworthy, and
either Dick Klein or Ron Youtz.
Dick Schaefer, Jim Dean and Jim
Hay will be at their usual defen
sive posts with. Bill McCollough
at goal.
Echeandia All-American Goalie
The key to the Lion hopes of
springing an upset appears to lie
in how well they stop Bruce Yan
cey and Dave Kline, crack Piety
midfielders. Yancey is fast and
an adept passer and scorer, while
Kline, a basketball player who
came out for the team this year
is a real find.
The Orangemen also boast Cap
tain John Echeandia, third team
all-American goalie last year,
and attackman Jim Burns, who is
rated by Coach Roy Simmons as
one of the country's top assist
men.
The invaders will probably
open with a team consisting of
Burns, Bob Tucker and Bob Duff
on attack; Yancey, Kline, and
Don Moller at the midfield ;posts;
and Leo Pollack, George Revere
and Primo Belluz on defense,
with Echeandia in front of the
cage.
