Bedenkmen to Battle
W. Virginia in Twin Bill
The Penn State baseball team, fresh from a smashing double
win against Syracuse Saturday, takes on West Virginia at Morgan
town this afternoon in another twin bill. The Lions arrived by bus
last night. State carries a fine 11-3-1 record into the contests as it
renews its quest for another Dis
Coach Joe Bedenk has named
righthanders Keith Vesling and
Garland Gingerich as his starting
pitchers today. Vesling, who fired
a one-hitter at Syracuse Saturday,
will work the first contest, a nine
inning affair. Gingerich is slated
to pitch the second game, sched
uled for seven frames.
Play Temple Saturday
Vesling has lost only two con
tests and will be going after his
seventh win. Gingerich has a 4-1
mark. He boasts a .91 earned run
average.
Only one contest remains on
the card after today's set. The
Nittanies travel to Philadelphia
Saturday where they wind up the
season with Temple,
District. Title at Stake
No lineup changes were indi
cated by Bedenk before the team
left yesterday. He'll' probably go
with Pat Kennedy at first base,
Chuck Russo at second, Ron Weid
enhammer at shortstop, and Hubie
Kline at third. In the outfield, Rex
Bradley will be in left field, cap
tain Sil Cerchie in center, and
Tom Werner in right. Bill Leon
ard will handle the catching
chores.
This will be the deciding week
of play for the Lions. Should they
win all three remaining games,
chances will be greatly increased
for a playoff berth. And it seems
certain now that such a playoff is
forthcoming. A committee of
coaches will meet May 23 at
Scranton, Pa. to decide the out
come. Indications are strong now,
according to Bedenk, that a play
off is in order. However, Du
quesne is unbeaten and there is a
possibility that it could be given
an outright bid. The Tartans have
four tough ball games on tap this
week, however, and they could
be a deciding factor.

Seeks Revenge
In Preakness
BALTIMORE, May 19 (IP) —Na
tive Dancer arrived at Pirtilico to
day for his "revenge" race to find
one of his favorite pacesetters
ready to spur him on in Satur
day's Preakness.
Tahitian King's stableh ands
figure their colt will be a big help
in keeping Native Dancer nearer
the front of the early parade.
"Jockey Eric Guerin never let
his horse get more than a couple
of lengths ahead of him," said
Slim Wisan, the stable foreman.
He initiated that Tahitian
King's presence in the $lOO,OOO
Preakness will tend to force
Guerin to stay up closer to the
early pace than he did in the
Kentucky Derby. At Louisville
May 2, Guerin and Native Dancer
were eighth after half a mile and
were unable to catch Dark Star
in the stretch run.
Tahitian King didn't run in the
Derby. .
"But we decided to chase him
down here," said Wisan, who is
tending Tahitian King in the ab
sence of owner Ben Whitaker and
trainer J. P. Conway.
