ing nine straight wins last season. The Lions won their second consecutive match of the
Season yesterday their eleventh straight when they swamped the Gettysburg Bullets.
9-0 on the local greens. Navy was the first victim of the hotshot Nittany golfers in the season
opener at Annapolis last Saturday, 5-2.
And a newcomer to Coach Bob Rutherford's links corps looks like another new spark
to a team that already is loaded with experienced lettermen.
Bob Smith, a senior who won the All-University golfing championship last year in
the intramural program, has managed to win Medalist honors in both matches of the young
1P54 season

man team faced an unusually
strong Penn State squad. Six Lion
linksmen won their individual
matches with the "best ball"
award going to the Lions in each
of the three foursomes.
The 6055-yard course was in ex
cellent condition and very fast.
Rutherford wa s exceptionally
pleased after the Lions' rout of
the Gettysburg Bullets. "For this
time of year, we played a smooth
game," Rutherford accounted af
ter his team's second victory.
Four golfers—Captain Rod Ea
ken, Gordon Stroup, Joe Webb,
and Smith—carded their• second
victories of the season. Warren
Gittlen and Gerald Gearhart won
their first match in two tries.
In the first foursome, Eaken
shot a one over par to stop 011ie
Nebel', nine and seven; his team
mate, Stroup, outshot Dick Snook,

to the Lions, nine and seven.

Mattox Wins for Navy
Playing in the number four-po
sition, Gittlen was edged one up
by Navy's Dick Mattox; last year,
Mattox was playing the first-man
position for the Middies. Gerhart's
first loss as a varsity golfer was
to Jim Degroff, two up.
Smith and Gerhart, a sopho
more, broke into the lineup that
was otherwise predominately
members of last year's team.
Smith was not challenged for the
first-match berth; Gearhart de
feated Jim Mayes for the seventh
slot in the Nittany roster.
Medalist honors went to Smith
who shot a 73, two over par, over
the wind-swept, rain-soaked Nav
al Academy's 6500-yard course.
"Navy has a tough course any
way," Rutherford explained. "In
addition to narrow fairways, there
is a radio station beside the course
with a number of radio towers. If
you get a ball in the rough, you
are usually near a tower," he said.

2. Games Await
Baseball Team
Penn State's baseball squad, which was rained out of three
games in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, will face Western
Maryland and Lafayette Saturday.
A game with American University and a doubleheader with
Georgetown were "washed" off
the schedule by the weekend
downpour.
Western Maryland and Lafay
ette will play Joe Bedenk's Blue
and White on the Beaver Field
baseball field Western Maryland
has posted a fair record this sea
son, but Lafayette is the defend
ing District Two champion and
is the team to beat.
Lafayette's ace hurler, south
paw Ron Owen, is one of the
finest pitchers in the collegiate
ranks. The hard working lefty
will probably face the Lions. He
posted a fine 12-1 record last
year in pacing the Leopards to
the No. 3 spot in the College
World Series.
Owen pitched Lafayette to a
5-0 win in its season opener
against Yale. He allowed only
four hits, in the seven inning
game. Against Navy he scattered
nine hits and rode to a 10-4 vic
tory.
The Leopards also have two
top-flight batters in their lineup.
