leaned hard on the offerings of
Brooklyn's two southpaw hope
fuls, Karl Spooner and Johnny
Podres, to post a 9-5 exhibition
baseball victory today and even
their series at three victories
apiece.
Spooner, pitching for the first

SARASOTA, Fla., April 1 VP)
—Boston Red Sox Manager Mike
Higgins today appeared almost
resigned to the fact that slugger
Ted Williams will not be with the
club this season.
After the team held a snappy,
final workout before departure
for a barnstorming trip through
the south enroute home, Hig
gins stated: "We haven't even
heard from him."
Higgins also admitted Boston
had made Detroit an offer for
third baseman Ray Boone, but
felt there was no business .being
transacted at the present time.
Two National Champs
Penn State for the first time
produced two National Collegiate
wrestling champions in one year
when L a r r y Fornicola and Bill
Oberly won titles at the 1955
tourney. The Nittany Lions, who
now claim five individual cham
pions, finished first in the team
race in 1953, second three times
in the last five tournaments.
Stickmen in Heavy
Pre-Season Drills
Taking advantage of perfect weather, the Penn State lacrosse
team has been going through heavy practice sessions in preparation
for its opening day battle Thursday with Adelphi College.
Coach Nick Thiel, who is starting his 20th season as head tutor
for the stickmen, is going to rely on speed and stamina when his
charges take the field against the
New York team at Garden City,
N.Y.
Thiel said that the squad lacks
skill and finesse but is the most
aggressive team in the past few
years. Besides aggressiveness, the
lacrossemen have good size and
speed, but they do not have the
experience that their opponents
have.
Hofstra, the third game on the
schedule, will be the toughest
contest on the seven day venture
into foreign soil for the Lions.
New Hampshire, which is rebuild
ing after a loss of eight players
through graduation, will have
only two starters from the '54
squad to build around.
The first home contest for the
Nittanies will be with Navy,
which copped the national crown
last year and who are expected
to repeat this year. Thiel is hop
ing that the three away games
during Easter vacation will round
his green squad into top shape.
And if injuries do not hamper
the Lions in any way the Navy
team will probably be in far a
hard fought battle.
The only injury of the season
was received by Steve Friedman,
who suffered • a slight disloca
tion of his shoulder during a prac
tice session last week. Ron Yolitz,
who broke his ankle in an alit°
accident in December, is expected
to see action against Adelphi.

$1.5 Billion Bet
By British Fans
LONDON, April 1 Rl—Britons
poured out a total of 550 million
pounds ($1,540,000,000) on gamb
ling in 1954, the British Churches'
Committee on Gambling said in
its annual report.
That total compared with 602
million pounds ($1,685,000,000) in
1953. Only in the case of football
pools betting was there an increase
in turnover.
"In these days of rising costs of
living and incessant demands for
more salaries and wages, it is :a
grave reflection both on . our na
tional common sense and moral
ity that 12 to 14 million people
serld to the football pools every
week approximately 1,600,000
pounds. ($4,480,000) the report
said.
The District Tigers' average
age, 25.3 years, is the youngest in
the American League.
