WAGE SIX
Lion Win
Ended by
Two rights don't make up for a wrong and Penn State's baseball team found this to \
be the sad truth Saturday at Beaver Field. The Lions paved the way for Colgate's 7-5 win with
four unearned runs, although the Lions tried to make up for their - miscues with brilliant
fielding in the late innings'.
The loss ended Penn State's six-game winning skein and left the Lions with a 9-4
slate with three games still on tap. Tomorrow Coach Joe Bedenk will send his diamond
squad against Quaker City.
Garland Ginger ich went to the mound for the Blue and White and was staked to a
4-0 lead in the first—a lead which lasted only until leftfielder Rex Bradley let Bob Berry's
low liner slither away for a four
base error. This blow ended Ging
erich's scoreless inning streak at
22% frames. The loss was his first
after three wins.
Penn State outhit the Red Raid
ers, nine to six, but committed
five errors to two for Colgate.
Despite these miscues the T i.r`
managed to hang on to a 5-5 tie
going into the ninth.
Charlie Russo led off the Lions'
half of the first with a single. He
moved to second on a sacrifice
and advanced to thi r d with a
beautiful slide that took third
sacker Berry out the play which
started when Ron Weidenhammer
hit a long fly to center. George
Ettenger followed with a single
to left and Pat Kennedy with a
triple to center, puting the Lions
in front, 2-0. Successive walks to
Hubie Kline and Skip Gerdes and
a ground single to left by Bradley
rounded out the scoring. ,
In the third the Lions scored
on Kennedy's booming home run
to deep center. It was the big
first sacker's initial circuit clout
Colgate knotted the score with
two funs in the fourth and , two
more in the fifth on just three
hits. Three errors by the Lions in
these two frames aided the Red
Raiders' cause.
Sensational catches by Brad
ley and Gerdes in the ninth pre
vented Colgate from scoring more
than twice. Len Kraus started
that fateful inning with a single
to right which Pete Cherish let
skip past him, permitting Kraus
to move up to second. Bradley
then carne up with a fine running
catch in shott left.
Ted Carangelo's single put
Kraus on thi r d. Hal Horan
smashed what looked like a home
run, but Gerdes speared the ball
with a last-second diving, rolling
catch. Gerdes flipped the ball to
Bradley, but the relay was not
in time to keep the runners from
moving, up. A single by Frank
Nardulli ended the scoring.

Cornell
Penn State's lacrossemen, gunning for, their second straight upset,
held Cornell at bay in a close first half. before folding in the second
to lose, 20-13 Saturday 'at Beaver Field. It was the Lions' seventh
defeat of the season and closed out their nine-game schedule;
Dick Shriver led Cornell to victory, scoring in every period as
he collected seven goals. Bob
Hamel contributed three goals to
Ithe Lions' first quarter spurt that
put them in the lead, 5-1, with
just eight minutes gone. Hamel's
five goals for the day gave him
21 for the season, tying the old
scoring record just recently brok
en by Al Fulton.
The Big Red grabbed a quick
lead with just 1:10 gone of the
first quarter when Dave Brad
field countered on a two-on-one
rush against Lion goalie Don
Bell. Dick Klein tied it up for the
Lions just 25 seconds later when
he swept in from the left to beat
the Cornell goalie from 20 feet
out.
Then at the four-minute mark
Bob Hamel executed one of the
finest unassisted efforts of the
season. Hamel took the ball .near

dumped in the tie-breaking goal
after having seemingly over-run
his shooting angle. Hamel, Ronnie
Youtz, and Hamel scored in that
