PAO- SIX Five Spring Prepare for Penn StateT fresh from the merry-go-round action of three winter sports, will open a sports schedule for the spring that will include five teams baseball, track, lacrosse, tennis, and golf. Although the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournaments still await the Lion wrestling and gyhmastic squads, each of the five teams have already issued calls for players and managers. Lacrosse will snap off the winter underwear when it qpens April 7 in New York City against Adelphi. Baseball will open six days later with Western Maryland at home. Track, tennis, and golf will open April 16, with tennis the only squad at home. Track sports a seven-meet card and will see most of its action on the. road, with five trips to foreign cinders The tennis team will play seven of 12 matches at home, and the golf team will play a nine-match card with four meets set-for the Nittany links. Although the lacrosse team will visit New York City for its first three matches, it will play five of its 12 meets at home. Base ball claims the biggest card with 19 games, including two dduble headers. Ten games will be played on the local diamond-*— one of which will be a douDle header with Georgetown May 7. Track posted an undefeated 1954 season by whipping four op ponents. The defending IC4-A champs will look to a season topped with tough competitors, a spectator-drawing home card, and a matured stock of valuable, experienced lettermen to get its string in one piece. Golf, a perennial success on the spring card, tramped eight cours es last year to come up with a 7- card. Although the linksmen have lost Captain Rod Eaken, Joe Webb, and Grody Stroup by gradr uation, an improved home card and at least four recruits up from the frosh class will help jolt the Lions’ opponents. Tennis boasts the return of Dean MuUen, Bill Ziegler, and Ed Seiling—each an integral part of the team that registered an 8- card, sliced an impressive Carnegie Tech win streak, and posed a four-match home-court win streak last year. Lacrosse had trouble winning last year and earned a 2-7 log* but the return of Dick Klein, Ron Youtz, and Bob Hamel plus an other year of stick experience may net Coach Nick Thiel a bet ter season. 11 Players Win In IM Handball Eleven players advanced onto the quarter final rounds of flight action in the intramural frater nity handball singles tournament Monday night.
