By ROY WILLIAMS
Two,. Nittany golfers will play their final
match for Penn State today, when the Lions
go after their fourth consecutive win. The
Liohs Will meet Pittsburgh undefeated in
Sight dual meets this season—on the Shanno
pin Country Club.
Penn State is presently carding a 6-1 record.
Last year the Lions opened what proved to be
an undefeated season against Pitt
oh the local greens, 6-1.
Nittany Coach Bob Rutherford,
however, will be without the ser
vices of Gordon Stroup, a two
yeat senior letterman.
Stroup passed up the Pittsburgh
meet because of his studies. Last
WCek Stroup who has a 6-1 card
and has been medalist for Penn
State four times—jvas moved into
the leadoff/ slot replacing Captain
Rod Eaken.
Three of the Nittany links
squad’s “big four,” however, will
head the Lions’ lineup. Eaken and
Joe Webb—both seniors, and War
ren Gittlen will fill the first three
slots.
In the remaining four positions,
Rutherford will use a., combina
tion that hasn’t been used this
season.
George Kreidler, a junior let
termah, will play the number four
Slot. Kreidler, who missed the
Lehigh contest last week, has a
3-0 record in as many matches.
He has missed four of the Lions’
cOhtest.
A third junior and two sopho
mores will round out Rutherford’s
entry against the Panther squad.
Jim Mayes—a junior who played
aftd won his first collegiate match
against Lehigh—and sophomores
Jiin Boyanowski and Jim Gins
berg have been chosen by Ruther
ford.
Boyanowski has a 4-1 record af
ter having his four-match win
stfceak snapped by Lehigh last
week. Ginsburg has a 2-1 record.
He has not played since the Cor
nell match nearly two weeks ago.
Baseball Team's Playoff
Bolstered by Fine Road
A peek at the records shows the Nittany diamond squad has played better on the road
thah at home so far this season. This bolsters the hope that the Lions may be elected for a
District Two playoff berth, for the team has three games left—all on the road.
If the Lions manage to cop all three it is very possible they will get into the post-season
tournament. For the past two campaigns the Blue and White nine has entered the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
tourney.
In 1952 the team won the Dis
trict Tvvo playoffs and finished
third in the College World Series
after pulling stunning upsets over
Duke and Texas—two of the favo
rites. Last year the Lions won
the first game from Fordham. 4-2.
but were eliminated by Lafayette.

Fogg, is undecided. He plans to
use the four seniors but ■is not
sure of the other'performers. Pos
sible starters include Ziegler, Seil
ing, Mullen, Chuck Christiansen,
and Doug Zuker. j
Pace Is Factor
n Title Bout
By The Associated Press
The heavyweight, title fight be
tween Rocky Marciano and Ez
zard Charles June 17 may well
br. summed up with one word—
“pace.” It’s a small word but it
might be a big. one- to.'the two
heavies when they square off at
Yankee Stadium.
Both fighters have- been train
ing hard and appear to be round
ing into top-fighting condition.
However, th? pace of the fight,
more than r the individual, condi
tioning appears to be the most
important factor now.
If the fight goes according to
the dope, Charles, the superior
boxer, will break on top and will
probably pick up points early in
the fight. When both men are
fresh he should be able to stab
and hook Marciano enough to
pick ut> an early lead.
However, in the past it’s been
Marciano who forced the pace in
the later rounds and has won the
basis of the points he has won
then.
Experts figure that .if Charles
is to regain the title he lost two
years ago, he’ll have to fight from
a blueprint—get a lead on points
in the early rounds and still have
something left for the stretch —a
trick he’s been unable to do in
the past.
Play Penn, Today '
Penn and the Lions will battle
today in the Quaker City. The
Bedenkmen will conclude the
schedule Friday- and Saturday
with games in Pittsburgh.
West Virginia fell before the
Lions in the first two games of
the year at Beaver Field. The
Nittany nine has also defeated
Buck'nell, Rutgers, and Temple at
home. On the other side of the
ledger the Lions show losses to
Lafaygtte, Gettysburg, and Col r
gate- at Beaver Field. This gives
the team a mark of five wins and
three setbacks at home for a .625
percentage.
On the road the Lions have
won four of five for an .800 read
ing. Dickinson fell before the Be
denkmen, 14-2. Then Lehigh
dropped the Lions, '6-2, before the
team won its next three away
games, tripping Bucknell, Navy
and Villanova.
■Six Washouts
Six games were washed off the
schedule by inclement weather.
This was definitely a blow to the
team’s tournament chances.
Last year the Quakers were de
feated by the Lions, 7-1, in Phila
delohia. For the first time since
1 °4O Penn has played its contests
