Cerchie, Leonard . . . Leave College Game By DICK MCDOWELL The careers of two outstanding Penn State baseball players are Bast drawing to a close. With only one regularly scheduled game and possibly some NCAA playoff games remaining for the Nittany Lion squad, captain and centerfielder Sid Cerchie, and catcher Bill Leonard are about ready to hang up their college spikes The pair have had colorful base ball careers under the tutorship of Joe Beclenk. For three seasons Cerchie has been patrolling the Beaver Field center gardens. Leonard has been a regular be hind the plate for two years be sides playing three seasons on the Nittany football team. The two met before they en tered the College when they played against each other in the Bast West American Legion All- Star game at Forbes Field in iburgh in 1948. The next sprig they teamed up and that's the way it's been ever since. Sil, who hails from Elkland, Pa., broke into, the lineup in his iitophomore year and belted a Solid .280. Last year he pounded the horsehide at a .295 clip and drove in 21 runs. Probably his greatest assets are his tremendous throwing arm and his ability to ant the jump on the hail in the THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. m - r - e rErcr-L,lrlitTirs Sporting the Lions in- their Finale PENN STATE'S GRADUATING tennis and lacrosse seniors who will perform for the Nit ta:my Lions under the leadership of Sherm Fogg, tennis, and Nick • Thiel, lacrosse, for the last time.

Block as Colgate Invades it's three down and two to go for tennis Coach Sherm Fogg's dream of a better-than-. 500 sea son and only mighty Colgate and Duquesne stand in the way now. Just three matches 'ago, every body was crying the blues about the tennis team. Three matches ago, the Lions were the not-so proud possessors of a 1-5 record. Then came the revolution. Lehigh fell, 5-4; Pitt did. too, 6-3; then Bucknell was completely reversed, 8-1. Bucknell had start - field. Leonard is probably better known for his gridiron prowess. An excellent place-kicker, and hard hitting halfback, both of fensively and defensively, th e State College product made quite a name for himself in gridiron circles. Bill stepped into the regular backstop position - last season and hit -354. He's a workhorse behind the plate, always hustling and ready to take advantage of breaks: He handles pitchers well and can hit the long ball. Both have tapered off in their batting this seas o n, hovering around the .300 mark. Cerchie has 20 runs batted in and has belted three homeruns. As usual the pair are both wait-, ing for Uncle Sam to make his claim after graduation, so future baseball plans have been stowed aataar for the time being. ed the Lions off on the wrong foot in their opener by thumping them 8-1, at Lewisburg. And now Colgate comes tomor row for its second crack, at the Lions. The Raiders aren't a team to do things hallway on their home courts. This they proved once again earlier in the season as they pasted the only shutout on Lions, 9-0, at Hamilton, N.Y. Getting thumped by Colgate is nothing new to Lion tennis fans. It seems to happen once, and sometimes twice a season. Last season's score was 8-1, Colgate at Hamilton. The return match on home courts was washed out. In 1951 again it was all Colgate, the Raiders winning both. The last time the Lions halted the Raiders was in the final match of the 1950 season. The match was held on the Lions' courts and was the second of the seasonal series, Colgate having won the first one as handily as ever, 8-1. But the Lions surprised on the finale and upended the Raiders, 6-3. Colgate will bring m .a formid able array of tennis names spear headed by intercollegiate great Ben Bishop. Bishop was formerly national junior singles champ be fore he went to Colgate. On the Lions side, Fogg has as yet not made any indication as to his singles or doubles choices. Dick Robinson, in all probability, will again be in the top singles slot •with Bruz Ray at number three. Either Lou Landon or Bill Ziegler will be in the number two position with the other working the four slot. Captain Bill Forrey will work the number five 'singles job. with either Dick Gross or Bill Ray in the number six spot. The doubles outfits will prob ably remain the same crews that performed against Pitt. They were Robinson and Landon, num ber one; Bruz Ray and Bill Ray, number two, and Forrey and Zieg ler, number three. Bill Forrey, Bob Pauloski (26), and Jim Dean (21). Players at the bottom are Tom GoldswOrthy (29), Dick Gross, Bill - McCollough (19), and Wayne Hockersmith (49). • Lowther to Get Award John D.
