By ROY WILLIAMS
State's unbeaten golfers
continued their winning ways
Saturday when the Nittany
Lion linksmen defeated
Georgetown, 5-2. The score,
however, does not reveal the
tough battle the Rutherfordmen
went through in order to extend
its win streak to five.
Rod Eaken defeated Jim Nies,
5-4, who was runnerup in. the
EIGA tourney two years ago, with
the aid • of four birdies. Eaken
shot a three under par 66, which
was the lowest score that any
Lion has registered this year, to
win the medalist honors for the
afternoon.
Gittlen Wins sth
Gordon Stroup lost, his third of
the year, to Georgetown's Joe
Turnesa on the 20th hole, 1 up.
Stroup was two down and two
to go on the 16th hole, when he
shot an eagle on the 17th and a
birdie on the 18th to pull even
with his opponent. Turnesa, son
of Willie Turnesa who was run
nerup to Walter Hagen in the
1927 PGA Tourney at Cedar Crest
Country Club, went ahead on the
next two holes to win the match.
Chuck Dailey lost to State's Joe
Webb, 5-3, as Webb won his
fourth match against only one
loss.
Warren Gittlen chalked up his
fifth straight win of the season
Over Jim McNamra, 2-1. George
Kreidler lost his second match of
the season, 4-2, to the Hoyas,
John Farrell Jr.
Rutherford Pleased
Lou Riggs, who is the only other
Nittany golfer to own a 5-0 log,
had a tough time copping his fifth
straight, edging his Hoya oppon
ent, Joe Obrien, by a 4-2 margin.
Captain Hud Samson had an easy
afternoon of golf when he troun
ced Georgetown's Mike Flynn,
8-7. It was Samson 's second
straight win• of the campaign.
Coach Rutherford said, "I was
very pleased with the boys' per
formance Saturday. They played
a good team, and the closeness of
the Match is indicated by the in
dividual scores, not by the entire
match score."
Rutherford continued, "We meet
two of the toughest teams that
we have on our season card on
Friday and Saturday." Lehigh will
host the Nittany squad on Friday
afternoon at Bethlehem. The Lions
will return Friday night to en
gage a Colgate squad Saturday
afternoon en their home grounds.

To Play
The Bucknell tennis team
comes to town tomorrow. It will
run flush into a rolling Lion outfit
that has captured its last two de
cisions after four straight losses
—the latest win, a 6-3 job over
Pitt Saturday, on the College
courts.
Bucknell, earlier in the season,
administered an 8-1 thomping
over Coach Sherm Fogg's charges
on the Lewisburg courts, . so the,
revenge motive will be a strong
factor in tomorrow's match.
Saturday, the Lions, while al
most losing to the rain, swept all
six . singles matches without loss
of a set to clinch number three
against five setbacks. The Lions
also lost all three doubles matches
without winning a set, after Fogg
shuffled up his doubles combina
tions. But the doubles losses
didn't matter, as the match was
already out of the wood.
Singles winners were Dick Rob
inson, Bill Ziegler, Bruz Ray, Lou
Landon, Captain Bill Forrey, and
Dick Gross.
Robinson beat Gene Weinstein,
7-5, 6-4', in the top singles match.

2-1,9-o;'Ves',
Gar Victors
The Penn State baseball
team, back in the thick of the
District Two fight, head s.
southward today where it
meets West Virginia in a
doubleheader tomorrow after
noon. The Lions, almost counted
out of the district race a week
ago, moved back into contention
Saturday. when they swept a
double header at Syracuse, 2-1,
and 9-0.
The big story Saturday was
once again pitching as the Nit
tanies won their tenth and elev
enth contests. Gar Gingerich and
Keith Vesling, Joe Bedenk's pitch
ing mainstays all season, both
turned in excellent performances.
Gingerich twirled a six-hitter in
the opening 2-1 win and Vesling
set the Orange down in the sec
ond contest on one hit.
The Lions could make only six
hits themselves in the opener.
They bunched two of them in the
sixth frame, however, sending
home two runs—enough for the
margin of victory.
Gingerich •got into trouble in
the seventh when the Orange
scored its lone run. However, that
was all they could get from the
curve balling righthander as he
bore down and retired the side.
The win was his fourth.
The seven-inning nightcap was
a different story altogether.- -The
Lions scored early afid'olletels
Vesling, who won his sixth of',.the
season, walked only one man. The
lone Syracuse hit came in the
sixth inning when pitcher Micky
Kyff singled.
Tom Werner and Ron Weiden
hammer, with two hits apiece,
led the Lion nine-hit attack. The
Bedenkmen opened the scoring
in the first frame scoring one run
on two hits, a double by Werner
and single by Sil Cerchie.
Four more crossed the plate it
the second and four again in the
seventh.

Stickmen's Hopes
For First Win
Dampened, 16-9
After battling favored Cornell
to a stalemate at halftime Satur
day, Penn State's lacrossemen.saw
hopes for victory No. 1 go a-glim
mering as the Big Red put on
a strong second half surge to win,
16-9, at Ithaca, N.Y.
The Lions, who have now drop
ped• seven in a row, started off
fast. Led by Captain Wayne
Hockersmith who scored rive
goals, running his season scoring
total to 18, State had a 4-3 edge at
the end of the first period. During
the quarter, the Nittanies took
advantage of the situation sev
eral times when Cornell men were
out of the gaine with penalties.
The Ithacan fought back in the
second quarter with three tallies,
and pulled ahead in the third stan
za with a five-goal barrage, while
the Lions were able to counter but
once. The Ivy Leaguers, led by
basketball ace Dave Bradfield,
shoved home five more tallies in
the last period to leave no doubt
about the outcome.
• In the end it was the Big Red's
strength at midfield which spelled
the difference. What also hurt was
Cornell's great reserve strength,
as the home forces used a total of
24 men, ten of whom got into the
scoring act. Coach Nick Thiel al
so cleared his bench, using his en
tire traveling squad. A total of 24
penalties were called in the ac
tion, 17 against Cornell.
The Lions now will return home
to meet Loyola of Baltimore Sat
urday on the golf course. The
tilt will close out the season for
the Thielmen.
