Lions Lose to Lehigh,
Will Face Bisons Here
The oldest rivalry in Penn State baseball will be renewed at 3:30 p.m. today when the Lions battle
Bucknell . on Beaver Field. Penn State has won 39 of the 58 games the two teams have played since
they first met in 1893.
Although Coach Bedenk shuffled his lineup, Penn State was defeated Saturday by , Lehigh, 6-1,
at Bethlehem. The Lions now have a 3-3 record and have lost two in a row. Lehigh's victory was its
fourth in eight contests.
WDFM will. carry a play-by
play broadcast of today's game
starting at 4:15 p.m. A pre-game
show will get underway at 4 p.m.
Pete Cherish made his initial
appearance of the season, playing
centerfield place of Ron Wei
denhammer who was moved to
shortstop where Francis Bowman
had been handling the chores.
George Ettenger, the team's lead
ing hitter, did the catching again,
but was moved from the sixth to
the fourth slot in the batting or
der. Tom Werner was moved from
fourth to seventh in the lineup.
Aside from these changes Bedenk
used the same team which he had
employed earlier in the campaign.
Penn State got off to an early
lead in the first inning. Leadoff
man Charlie Russo got a base on
balls and went to second on Cher
ish's sacrifice. Russo was safe at
third on a fielder's choice play and
scored on Ettenger's infield sin
gle.
Lehigh rebounded quickly with
two runs in the bottom of the
first. Ron Dreesen cracked a dou
ble to right and Harry Stotz
smashed a two-out two-run homer
to put the Engineers in front to
stay.
Dave Lucas started for Penn
State but was replaced by Garland
Gingerich with one out in the
third. Gingerich made his entry
at this point and gave up a single
to Tom Gunn. Tom Gloete ground
ed out Russo to firstbaseman Pat .
Kennedy, with Stotz scoring on
the play and making the score
5-1.
A walk, two Penn State errors,
and a single by Butz gave Lehigh
its final run in the fourth.
The Lions threatened to score
on several occasions but could not
get another man past third. Alto
gether Penn State left 11 men on
How the
stars
got started.
Red Barber says: "I was a
student working my way
through the University of
Florida when I was asked to
be substitute announcer on a
farm program. That got me
a, job. In two years, I be
came chief announcer. My
break in sports came in '34
when I broadcast Cincinnati
Reds games. Been doing
Major League play-by-play
ever since!"

to the Nittany Valley for a double

Penn State's freshman baseball
squad won its season's ' opener
Saturday at Saltsburg from Kiski
Prep, 5-0. John Egli's yearlings
picked up five hits and rode to
victory behind the eight-hit hurl
ing of lefthander Eddie Drapcho
who went the full seven innings.
Keith Vesling will probably get
the starting assignment against
the Bisons today. The fastballing
righthander has a 1-1 record. Ves
ling won the season's opener with
West Virginia, 12-1 and lost to
Lafayette, 1-0, in 11 innings.
The Penn State pitching has
been up to last year's high stan
dards, but the Lions' bats have
been quieter this year.

Blue-White Contest
Ends in 1212 Tie
The annual Blue-White "Bucket Bowl" classic, climaxing 20 days
of intensive spring drills, ended in a 12-12 tie Saturday as some 200(
fans caught a satisfying glimpse of the material coach Rip Engle wilt
field this September.
The heavy use of the split-T optional offense, the expected good
performances of the Lion regulars, and some outstanding work on
on . the part of several freshman
newcomers, put together a con
vincing _show.
The white team, captained by
Jim Garrity, • drew first blood
early in the second quarter on a
30-yard pass play from quarter
back Bobby Hoffman to Garrity
in the end zone. No extra point
was attempted since Beaver Field
goal posts have not been erected
for the fall.
With Don Bailey and impres
sive freshman Milt Plum handling
the quarterback duties, the - Blue
lashed back early, in the second
half, scoring twice in third per
iod. Two sustained drives ended
in touchdowns. Buddy Rowell
smacked through the middle from
one yard out for the first TD, and
then Bailey climaxed another
drive on a quarterback sneak.
The ball changed hands several
times in the fourth period before
Lenny Moore, flashing his usual
form, sprinted down' the middle

for a 30-yard touchdown jaunt,
bringing the total to 12-12.
Coaches on both teams used
their substitutes freely through
out the contest. Several newcom
ers as well as veterans showed up
very well, even under the taxing
afternoon heat. Plum, a deceptive
ball handler and accurate passer,
halfback Bill Kane, and tacide
Sam Valentine all looked good.
Veteran Bill Straub, Don Bal
thaser, the Blue captain, RoWell,
Garrity. and Moore all turned m
noteworthy performances.
One of the brightest spots in
the game, however, was . the ef
fective use of the optional play,
running from Coach Rip Engle's
Wing-T offense. Engle toyed with
it last year and has been working
with the offense this spring. Bail
ey, in line for the quarterback
job in the fall, ran well and han
dled the laterals almost perfectly.
