Netmen,
To Visit
Riding high on the crest of its current winning streak, the
Penn State tennis team invades New York this weekend
where it will face a very strong Colgate aggregation today,
and then move on to meet the Syracuse netters tomorrow.
The netmen, coached by Sherman Fogg, are in one of the
hottest winning streaks they've had in several years. After
getting off to a bad start with Navy, they have come on to
win fiVe of their last six matches.
The .other match was a 3-3 tie
with Maryland.
Improved Since Start
After their 8-1 • defeat at the
hands of the Middies, the Fogg.-
men have drubbed Duquesne,
Carnegie Tech and the University
of Pittsburgh net squad by 9-0
scores. The other two victories
have been over Juniata and Buck
nell by an 8-1 margin,
In Colgate, the Lions will face
one of te most' powerful court
squads in the East. Coach Fogg
looks to the match as a real test
for his squad. He rates the Ma
roon Raiders of Colgate over the
previously unbeaten Carnegie
Tech Tartans. In beating the Tar
tans, the Foggrnen stopped the
Pittsburghers' 22-match winning
streak.
Last year Colgate downed the
Nittany netters twice. The first,
at Colgate, was a 9-0 shutout
early in the campaign. The sec
ond, played on the Lion's home
courts, was a 6-3 triumph for the
Maroon Raiders.
Coach Fogg plans to send basic
ally the same combination against
Colgate which has been so sup
cessful in itS last six outings. Didk
Robinson, who has a record of
five victories as against two set
backs, will again appear, in the
toP position, and Lew Landon,
who owns an identical mark, is
set to go in the number two Spot.
Ziegler Undefeated
Bill Ziegler, undefeated thus
far in singles competition, will
be going after his eighth victory
today when he plays in the third
slot. Bruz Ray, another stalwart
whO has come along since the be
ginning of the season, will play
in the number four role.
• One of the most promising
sophomores on the squad, Dean
Mullen, is set in fifth position. He
also is undefeated since the Navy
encounter. Ed Seiling is scheduled
feir the sixth position.
In doubles, Robinson and Lan
don, will appear in the first com
bination and Coach Fogg will
choose the other two teams from
Ziegler, Ray, Mullen, Chuck
Christiansen and Doug Zuker.

beat the Lions before Coach Bob
Rutherford and his squad started
their 12-match victory string.
The Lions 'will 'be battling a
tough course this afternoon when
they visit the Maroon's Hamilton
Country Club. Colgate's course is
very hilly and is tight on the fair
ways.
Lions Lose Smith,
And the Lions will be without
the services of their flashy new
comer, Bob Smith. In the Lions'
first three victories this season
over Navy, Bucknell, and Gettys
burg,. Smith was medalist in two
contests. The flashy senior has
been declared scholastically in
eligible:
Rutherford will count on four
veterans to pace his attack with

the remaining part of the Lions'

one loss-on their score sheets.

AAU Officials
To Give Cup
To Bannister
NEW YORK, May 13(A')—Ama
teur Athletic officials, who have
I been having a battle on their
!hands to see that miracle miler
Roger Bannister keeps clear of
professionalism, scored another
victory today.
The lanky British runner will
receive a sterling silver bowl—the
Roger Bannister Trophy—at ap
propriate ceremonies tomorrow,
after which it will be returned to
a case in Los Angeles. Interna
tional rules say amateurs must
not accept such valuable trinkets.
The 25-year-old Oxford medical
student, who amazed the sports
world by running a mile in '3:59.4
last week, flew in from London
yesterday to appear on television
and radio shows at the request
of the British Foreign Office.
However, British Amateur Ath
letic officials feared his simon
pure status might be jeopardized
by appearances on commercial
shows, arid the plan was dropped.
He will make some tape record
ings for non-commercial radio
shows.
The trophy already •had one
name on it—Dennis Johansson of
Finland, who won the Coliseum
mile last year. When Bannister
broke the 4-minute barrier, the
South ern California Olympic
Games Committee decided he
should get the big bowl.

Gets Better
ith Age
By HERM WEISKOPF
Like good wine, Penn State's
pitching-staff seems to be improv
ing with age. Last year's mound
crew was good, biit this season it
has been nothing short of sen
sational. •
Keith Vesling' and Gar Ginger
ich, the two workhorses of the
1953 team, are better than ever
this season. Newcomers to the
staff—Dave Lucas Stan Larimer,
and Sam Curtis—have been used
sparingly by Coach Joe Bedenk.
However, they all have displayed
fine potential.
Last year Vesling-posted a 9-2
won and lost record topped off
with a 1.83 earned run average
for 98% innings of pitching. He
permitted three walks, and a little
more than five hits a game. Ves
ling struck out an average of sev
en men for each nine innings..
Vesling Has 0.49 ERA
In 40 2 / 3 innings on the mound
this season Vesling has permitted
only two untainted runs for an
0.49 earned run average. He has
walked less than three men a
game. Vesling has given up an
average of slightly under five
hits for each nine innings and in
the same period has retired seven
opponents on strikes.
Vesling has appeared in five
games, four as a starter and one
in relief, and has won' three of
his four decisions.
Gingerich has lowered his earn
ed run mark from 1.49 last sea
son to a current 1.36. He hurled
54 1 j frames last year and so far
this campaign has pitched 2121.
Control
The Nittany nighthander ha s
maintained his record of last year
ol giving up a little more than two
free tickets and close to ;six hits
a game. Gingerich averaged sev
en strike outs a game last season
and has kept up an almost identi
cal pace so far this campaign.
Lucas started the season by
si:utting out West Virginia in a
seven-inning nightcap of a dou
bleheader. Since then he appears
to have lost some of the zip from
his fast ball. Lucas has been hand
ed two straight setbacks and op
pc;sing batters have clubbed his
offerings to the tune of 'almost
five runs a game But, if Lucas
gets his fast ball working the op
position had better watch out.
Here is a breakdown on this
year's pitching staff:
