The meet is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. with the field events. Running events will start at 2 p.m. The meet will mark the last home appearance for the Lions. They wind up their dual-meet schedule Friday against Manhat tan. Today's battle promises to be just as close, or closer than the two previous Beaver Field en counters—Navy and Pitt. The Spartans are rated with the best in the mid-west and will field an extremely strong running team. Good times are anticipated in all running events, particularly since tiro days of sunshine have hard ened the track. Itere's the way the Lions line up in each event: Larch in Pole Vault POLE VAULT—Dan Lorch, un beaten in two previous meets, will be the Nittany number one entry. Larch's best -rault this spring was an even 13 feet. He reached that height in both meets.

HIGH IDMP—Russ Snyder got a surprise first place tie last week with a 61" leap and will be Wer ner's top man tomorrow. Pollard Proven Dash Man 100-YARD DASH Pollard, a proven speedster, is in the Lions' number one slot in the century. He chopped .1 second off his pre vious best last week, bringing his time down to :9.7. 220-YARD DASH—Pollard will be Werner's choice entry in this one too. However, Bruce Austin and Skip Slocum will bear watch ing. The trio finished one-two three last week. 440-YARD RUN—ollie Sax, who set a new Penn State record two weks ago, slipped back into sec ond place last week. He'll be the top contender for honors in the quarter mile. 880-YARD RUN—Roy Brunjes, clocked at 1:54.6 against Navy two weeks ago, slipped last week but is a strong contender. Don Austin will also run. 120 AND 220-YARD HURDLES —Game Bill Youkers gave Pitt's Wally Monahan a tough battle last week. He'll be the Lions' lone entry in the hurdling events. Moorhead Improving MILE—Doug Moorhead is a two-time winner in the mile and has been improving steadily.

The ct - _ - •'ct set a new Penn State r - against Navy with a 3:17 clocking. * * Art Pollard Will run 100 and 220 011ie Sax Top middle distance runner Stickmen SwarthmOre Two All-Americans and a six-man zone defense could combine to cause coach Nick Thiel and his Nittany lacrossemen no end of trouble today when Swarthmore's stickmen invade Beaver Field for the 4 p.m. encounter. This marks the first time the Lions have come up against such a defensive pattern this season, and will be at a distinct disadvantage. Thiel will have to re-adjust his whole offensive pattern of play in order to combat the rarely-used zone thrown up by Swarthmore coach Avery Blake. The Swarth more mentor has met with great success during the past five years because of his tactics. The idea of a zone is nothing new. When playing one man short, it is common practice to employ a five-man zone, but Blake is one of the very few coaches who uses a zone when at full strength: The visitors will bring a record of five wins and foil' , losses into today's battle.

If the weather is warm enough Manager Lou Bou dreau plans to start Williams in leftfield and bat him in the clean up spot. Ted, who has a lifetime average of .348, says he's ready to go if the weather warms. Temperatures of 65-70 were forecast. Still Feels Pain Williams said he still feels a slight . tinge of pain in his left shoulder, but that after 20 min utes or so of swinging a bat, the shoulder "gets lubricated" and the pain subsides. And the bi g - slugger looked healthy enough as he belted three batting practice pitches into the rightfield stands of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, which Wil liams says is a "hitter's night- mare." If Williams plays leftfield to morrow, it means benching Char lie Maxwell. ;who banged three hits in five trips last night as the Red Sox belted Baltimore 9-1. It was a 11-hit attack by the Sox, one of their most powerful dis plays to date, and against anoth er American League club which has had puny hitting. Just before that game, William: had viewed Memorial Stadium here for his first time and opined: "It's the worst park in the league for hitters. There'll be nothing but 2 to 1 scores." He agreed with other sluggers that it will take a terrific belt or pinpoint pull hitting to get a home run. By EARL KOHNFELDER victories in a row. A 22-7 wal loping of Lafayette was followed by 13-6 and 16-6 decisions over Drexel and Delaware. Swarth more's next loss was to Johns Hopkins. 16-9. Then came two more wins to up their record to five and three. Lehigh fell by a 15-7 score before Loyola was crushed, 25-5. Fin ally, they lost a 9-8 game to Penn last Saturday.

MAY 15. 1954 Bedenkmen Will Seek 7th Victory By HERM WEISKOPF Nittany baseball Coach Joe Bedenk will send Keith Ves ling to the mound today against Temple as the Lions go after their fourth straight win. Game time is 2:30 p.m. at Beaver Field. • The Lions, seeking their sev enth win, have racked up consec utive victories over Bucknell and Rutgers last week at Beaver Field and again over Bucknell on. Tues day, this time at Lewisburg. Vesling will be aiming for his third win - in a row and his fourth of the campaign. The fastballing righthander has hurled 40% inn ings and is currently sporting an 0.49 earned run average. , Gerdes May Play Bedenk said he planned , to use the same lineup which has sparked the recent Nittany win skein, but added he might use Merl Gerdes in the outfield. • Baseball teams from Temple and Penn State clashed for the first time in 1929. In the 17 games the two squads have played so far the Lions hold a 12-5 edge. Last season Penn State defeated the Owls 4-2 in the final game of the regular campaign. Temple is currently one of the hottest outfits in the east. Ernie Casale's Owls had a five-game winning streak halted Wednes day by LaSalle 8-6. The Owls have a 6-7 mark, but have excel lent pitching. Lost One -Hitter Bill Schilling, Larry Grivna, Mike Fields, and John Lario are all good hurlers. Schilling has had rough luck so far this season. His toughest setback was a one hitter to Gettysburg, 1 7 0. Grivna had a no-hitter going for 7 1 / 3 inn ings but lost it when he was slow in getting to first to take a throw from first baseman Dick Connolly who had fielded a dribbler down the line. Two Nittany batters will put their hitting streaks on the line. First sacker Pat Kennedy has hit safely in the past five contests and the team's leading hitter, catcher George Ettenger, has picked up at least one hit in each of the eight games in which he (Continued on page seven)
