pac;f my Lions Open IC4A Bid Today Co-favored Penn State and Yale take their first steps in the fight for the IC4A track championship today when the trial heats in the Intercollegiate sweepstakes open at Tri borough Stadium in New York. . The Lions and the Eli, both unbeaten in dual meet competition this spring, will field strong entries and neither team has been established as an outright favorite. However, there has been a slight tendency to lean to Penn State—mostly on the basis of the Lions 71-59 dual-meet victory over defending champion Manhattan. The Jaspers, who have won the championship twice in a row, have not been counted out of the race by any means. But when the 78th edition of the huge cinder carnival gets under way —Penh State and Yale will be the teams to watch among a field of 46 entries. Trials Open Today Lion Coach Chick Werner’s 17- man entry arrived in New York last night, and most of the squad will be in action today.

Pollard Runs Dashes Pollard, running the 100 and the 220-yard dashes will have two men to contend with—Penn’s Johnny Haines, and Henry Thresher of Yale. Both, however, fall behind the Lion rocket in comparison of times over the dual-meet campaign. Bruce Aus tin will also enter the sprints un der the Penn. State banner. Grier may have a tougher bat tle in the shot put and discus field. His biggest threat will be Yale’s Stu Thomason and Colum bia’s A 1 Thompson.

Penn State’s Chuck Blockson will prob ably join the threesome in the battle for top honors. Remaining Lineup Here’s the way the rest of the Penn State lineup looks: Grier and Dan Hutchinson both will enter the javelin competition and Hutchinson will also compete in the high jump.

This will be Penn State’s final chance to impress National Collegiate Athletic Association officials before the District two playoff selections are made' Monday, Penn defeated the Blue and White Wednesday in Philadelphia, 8-6, to give the Lions a 9-5 record. Six games were washed off the Penn State schedule. Lions' Lead in Series Last year the Panthers tripped the Lipns in both ends of a dou bleheader. Despite this twin set back Penn State holds a 45-17 edge in the series which began in 1897. Nittany Coach Joe Bedenkhad plenty to worry about at the start of the campaign, because his hit ters were not coming through. Now, even though the Lion offen sive has accounted for 22 safeties in the past two encounters, the team has dropped successive bat tles to Colgate and Penn. Brilliant hurling throughout the first three-fourths of the sea son kept the Lions afloat; but now Bedenk’s troubles are ' re versed—he’s getting the hitting, but not the pitching. Garland Gin gerich was staked to a 4-0 lead Reed Learned Game In Lacrosse 'Hotbed' ■ Lacrosse and Jim Reed have been partners for a long time. Reed, who scored 12 goals for coach Nick Thiel’s stickmen during the past season, grew up in Towson, Md., where lacrosse is the byword. People in and about Towson take their lacrosse very seriously, and that section of Maryland has come to be known as the national “hot-bed” of lacrosse. Reed, creaseman on the attack, was playing lacrosse before he was nine years old. It was at Towson High School, however, that Reed received his first real instruction in the game. James Leslie, coach at Towson, had a big hand in helping to de velop Reed into a polished per former. Upon graduating from Towson, Reed did not come di rectly to Penn State, but instead enrolled at the Swarthmore Cen ter, now known as Ogontz. It was at Swarthmore that Reed received his biggest lacrosse thrill. His team was playing an (Sorry, no language hooks) "The Official University Book Store" By HERM WEISKOPF against Colgate but lost, 7-5. That loss, however, can be traced large ly to erratic fielding by the Lions. Penn was down 6-0 but pulled the win away from the Bedenk men with a seven-run ninth inn ing rally. - ' For a while the squad struck a fine balance and rode to a six game winning stfeak. The offense clicked for 63 hits and 53 runs in those “happy days” and the pitchers limited the opposition to 33 safeties and just five . runs. Although , the batting average finally dropped below the .419 mark, George Ettenger is still pacing' the Lions with .396. Pat Kennedy, Nittany first sacker, is riding on the crest of a ten-game hitting binge and has boosted his mark to .375. His 15 runs batted in, two home runs, and five dou bles, tops the squad in those de partments. Kennedy has connect ed for seven hits, including two homers, a triple, and one double, in his 12 latest trips to the plate. By EARL KOHNFELDER important game and with the final whistle drawing nearer, a one point advantage for the opposition kept getting bigger and bigger. With just 15 seconds remaining, however, Reed scored the tying goal, forcing the battle into over time. Then, with seconds remaining in the five-minute extra period, Reed tallied the winning goal. The husky senior spent his sophomore and junior years at the University before joining the Air National Guard at the close of the 1951 spring semester. Along with A 1 Fulton, Reed returned last fall to the University. $5.00 in Sales; $l.OO in Merchandise Free FRIDAY. MAY 28, 1954 Team Found Balance 1-5 p.m.
