Penn Rally Nips Lion Nine, 8-6
Grand Slam
Highlights
7-Run Ninth
By HERM WEISKOPF
The game is never over un
til the last man is out.
These are the words that
will echo in the minds of the
Nittany nine after Penn
scored seven runs yesterday
in the ninth—four on a grand
slam homer—to trip the Lions,
8-6, in Philadelphia.
Going into that fatal frame the
Lions led 6-1 and seemingly had
their tenth victory wrapped up.
But, with one down in the ninth,
the Quakers began their come
back .climaxing it with a 450-
foot home run with the bases full
by Mike Dalton.
Garland Gingerich had just en
tered the game in time to pitch
to Dalton. The Quakers’ shortstop
ran the count to two balls and
one strike and then wrote an
abrupt finish to the struggle.
Keith Vesting, starting and los
ing hurler for Penn State, - pitched
8% innings and was tagged with
his second defeat.
Dalton’s big smash overshad
owed earlier Nittany batting per
formances by Pat Kennedy, who
got four hits including a double,
and Dick Surovchak, who cracked
a 425-foot homer with one on in
the Lions’ four-run outburst in
the third. The Blue and White
oiithit Penn, 13-8.
Perth. State jumped off to a one
run lead in the first. With one
down Skip Gerdes drew a base
op balls and moved to second ,on
a passed ball. Ron Weidenham
mer’s double drove Gerdes in with
the first marker against Carl Hey,
Penn hurler who went all the way.
The four-fun onslaught in the
third started with a walk to Wei
dcnhammef. George Ettenger fol
lowed with a triple and then
scored on a single by Kennedy.
Kennedy took second on a passed
ball but was thrown out when
hse tried to advance to third on
the same play.
Hubie Kline kept‘the rally alive
with a single and then Surovchak
unloaded his four base clout.
The Lions added their final run
in the fifth on singles by Rex
Bradley and Vesling, a walk to
Chaflie Russo, and Gerdes’ sacri
fice fly to center. Hey bore down
after that, giving up only one hit
in the next four irtnings;
Penh scored its initial run in
the fifth and then held off until
the ninth.

NCAA Clashes
With Irish
On TV Control
CHICAGO, May 26 (JP) —Notre
Dame, a bitter foe of controlled
football telecasts, and the NCAA
clashed head-on today at a broad
casters convention.
Both gave their opposite views
on the NCAA’s “Game-of-the-
Week” program for college foot
ball before the National Assn, of
Radio and Television Broadcast
ers (NARTB) convention.
Walter Byers, executive secre
tary of the NCAA, said the tele
vising of games involving such
nationally known schools as No
tre ' Dame “tremendously hurt”
game attendance at many of the
NCAA’s 425 member schools.
But the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce,
executive vice president of Notre
Dame, said the NCAA’s present
control policy is “reactionary, so
cialistic, artificial and of doubtful
legality.”
The NCAA plan provides for
telecasting what it feels is the top
game of the week selected by its
television committee, originating
from different sections of the
country each week.
Byers said careful NCAA Re
search' showed national televising
of big games hurt attendance and
“the most forceful statistic of all
can be found in the' fact that
member schools voted against un
controlled television.” *
He said that Notre Dame voted
against the contrpl plan because it
“has seen no evidence of the im
pact on attendance at Notre
Dame:”
