Finals in the mile, two-mile, mile relay, and pole vault will also be run today. Probably Penn State’s biggest opportunity for a winner in these events lies in the piston legs of Red Hollen. Hollen, along with Ted Garrett, will run the two mile. Captain Dan Lorch will also be a strong threat in the pole vault. Doug Moorhead, John Chilrud, and possibly Hollen will compete in the mile ruri. In the relay Werner will . send Sax, Brunjes, Leathern, and Dave Slo cum to the line.

Coif Team Will Lose Standout Trio By ROY WILLIAMS The perennial problem for Penn State’s athletic coaches —graduation—is about to Start massing some king-size head aches for the Nittariy pilots next year. Among the many varsity lettermen to be grad uated win be three of the Lions’ mainstays on the golf squad. - Although Coach Bob Ruther ford Will lose only three letter men this spring, he’s losing what could easily be called “The Big Three.” For the past thre years, the first three slots on Rutherford’s seven-man squads have been dom inated by this year’s captain, Rod Eaken, Joe Webb, and Gordon Stroup. Since the three linksmen started the golfing trio in the spring of 1952 for Penn State, they have been an instrumental nucleus in the victories taken by the Lions. All are three-year letter-winners. Their individual records give proof- of the pace they’ve set for Penn State’s links squads. Eaken has been in 23 matches durinr the three-year period, netting a 16-7 card. Stroup has a 17-6 record, and Webb has carded a 14-8 log. This year Stroup moved ihto the spotlight for the Lions, win ning medalist honors in seven matches. He was chosen to move into the lead-off position in place of Eaken who was off his game with a slightly-injured shoulder. It was the first time in three years that the talented captain had missed starting in the first berth. During his sophomore year, Eaken was in the semi-finals of the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf l a c-- - : -'i on md ; ‘ , ’d. , . , al’s tourna [ment. Last year he advanced to THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNBVIVAMIA Art Pollard" Faster Than Ever Nucleus of Team Campbell Beats Carr, Gains Finals MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May 28 (A y ) —Bill Campbell put the pres sure on Joe Carr at the start today with a 120-yard approach shot a foot from the pin and never let up to whip the defending cham pion in the semi-finals of the Brit ish Amateur. The score was 3 and 2. Tomorrow, Big Bill,, known in England as “Sweet , William,” meets a non-smoking, teetotalling pub keeper from Rosebud, Aus tralia. He is Douglas Bachli but hardly anyone outside Australia ever-heard of him. The stocky' AusSie eliminated England’s W. A.. Slark,. also 3 and 2, in the semi-finals. Now an American and an Aus tralian meet in the 36-hole final for the first time in the 59 years of this golf championship. Campbell, of Huntington, W. Va,, twice a Walker Cup player and now in his fifth British Ama teur, is an overwhelming favorite to win. Campbell is so much the favo rite that many fans among the 3000 who saw the match today went away saying, “Campbell is in. He just about the title today when he beat Carr.” The match against the jovial, well-liked defender from Dublin, was a great example of precision golf by Campbell. The big Ameri can hit only two poor shots on the afternoon round —on the fourth and ninth holes. Campbell went into the lead on the 382-yard third hole where he scored a birdie three. His drive carried 262 yards. Then he .swung an eight-iron as well as Ben Ho gan ever did. . The ball stopped a foot from the pin. Even Carr clapped and con ceded the putt to the tall, good looking West Virginian. From then on Campbell was in command. the finals. This year he did not qualify at the EIGA tourney at Dartmouth University. When asked what he thought of Dartmouth’s course, Eaken as sured, “It’s a nightmare.” But Eaken felt that Lehigh’s Saucori Valley course was the toughest he had ever played in dual-meet play. It’s a championship course,’’ Eaken pointed out, “with . long, tight fairways and heavy rough.” Webb and Eaken played golf in high school, but Stroup’s high school—B edfor d—did not have golf. Nevertheless, he placed fourth in 1949 when Eaken won the .Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament on the Nittany greens. Eaken was l'2th in 1948, and third in 1950 in the schoolboy tourney. Webb Shot 69 During his high school career, Webb played the number one po sition for three years at German town High School. He also won, the city championship in 1948, ’49, and ’5O. “The best score I’ve shot on State’s course was a 70 for dual meet play,” Webb said. “My best score is a 691” Eaken captained the Reading High School squad, and played the number one position for three years. He was a four-year letter man in high school, posting an 11-1 card his senior year. At Ger mantown High, Webb played the number one and two positions. Stroup said his best score in dual meet plajr on the local greens was posted this year again Buck nell whe he shot a two-under-par 67.

College Ave. Loss to Panthers Dims Playoff Hopes Virtually all hope of a bid to the District 2 baseball playoffs went out the window yesterday when Pitt edged the Lions, 5-4, in. the Smokey City despite home runs by George Ettenger and Garland Gingerich. Pitt and Penn State will tangle in the season’s finale this after noon in Pittsburgh. The loss was Penn State’s third in succession and puts the team’s record at 9-6. Going into Saturday’s contest with Colgate at Beaver Field, the Lions had a fine 9-3 slate and good reason to expect a : post season tournament slot. But the Red Raiders dumped the Lions, 7-5, and Penn dropped the Blue and White 8-6 before yesterday’s setback. Larimer Stars Pitt got five runs and five hits —all off Gingerich—in two and two-thirds innings. Then Stan Larimer took the mound for the Lions and put the Panthers down without a run or hit for the re maining five and one-third frames. Leadoff home runs by Ettenger in the second and Gingerich in the third knotted the score at 2-2 going into the bottom of the third. The Panthers scored twice in the second and then added their final three in the third. Bill Emery started < the second for the Panthers with a base on balls. Dick Dietrick struck out, but then Tom Bigley singled to center and Skip Gerdes booted the "ball, permitting Emery to score and putting Bigley on third. A sacrifice fly fb left scored Big ley. Pitt Adds Three Ken Krapf got an infield single to open the third for Pitt and was sacrificed to second by Bob Wrab ley. Another infield single, by Jim Masur, and another sacrifice, a fly to center by Emery, scored Krapf. Dietrick was hit by one of Gin gerch’s serves and then' Bigley and Rudy Felik singled. When the smoke had cleared the Panthers were in the lead. on the same course. ‘‘Last sum mer,” Eaken added, “I shot a 63. but that wasn’t in a dual meet.” Both Stroup and Eaken felt the Lions would be fielding one of their strongest teams next year. “The team,” Eaken pointed out, “will also have a good schedule. It will have six matches at home, with three on the road.” “He (Rutherford) has more than five good-looking freshman pros pects. A lack of experience will be the team’s major trouble. “But Rutherford will be able to handle that. He and Joe Boyle, assistant golf coach, certainly did a lot for us when we came here after playing in high school. We all owe them both a lot.” £jiiiiiii9iiiiimiiimiiiiEi9iiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiißiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiu ROTC SENIORS AIR ARMY UNIFORMS —QUALITY MATERIALS— I Bur 0 MEN’S SHOP | fiiiiiuiMitiiiMiiuiiiuuiituiiMsiiuuHiiiiimutiuiiitiuiiisHUueiumiiiiHiiHf*?
