Next 2.
Penn State's lacrosse team opened the season on the wrong foot, losing two of three
games over the Easter, vacation to New Hampshire, 4-2, and Hofstra, 13-3, while defeating
Adelphi College, 12-4.
The Lions began the season with the win over Adelphi ..but ran into stiff opposition in
the next four days against New Hampshire and Hofstra.
Joe Erwin paced the Nittanies to their romp over Adelphi by scoring three goals, and
Bob Hamel tallied two. The Lions built up a four-goal margin at half time, leading 6-2.
Adelphi broke the scoring ice early in the first quarter, but the Lions retaliated with
four goals to take an early lead which they never relinquished.
Adelphi scored in every quarter
but the third and scored its last
two tallies in the final two min
utes. But Adelphia could not catch
the high flying Lions who had a
10 goal margin.
It was a different version in the
New Hampshire contest as the
stickmen faded from the picture
in the second half. After tying
New Hampshire 2-2, the Lions
failed to score in the second half
as their opponents tallied two.
Erwin Knots Score
New Hampshire made the ini
tial goal at 5:34 of the first quar
ter and held this slim margin un
til Erwin tied it at - 14:25 of the
same quarter with a driving shot.
In the second quarter the stick
men made their bid for victory
early as Frank Locotos threw in a
goal at 3:19 but a short time later
New Hampshire tied the contest.
Coach Nick Thiel said that with
a little more fight his team might
have defeated New Hampshire.
He said, the Lion offense, after
playing against a zone defense in
Adelphi contest, failed to solve
the New York team's defense un
til it was too late.
The defense looked good, he
said, but it was the lack of ex
perience on the part of the attack
which hurt , the team. Poor pass
ing foiled a number of attempts

ed out. Hamel handled the ball
Well, Thiel said, but the overall
ball handling and passing was
poor.
The game with_ New Hamp

couitered surprisingly strong op
posion from the Lions.
The Lions led 2-1 at the end
of the first quarter, but fell be
hind 4-2 at half time as Hofstra
scored' two goals in the last three
minutes of play. The fourth goal
came with only one second re
maining.
In the second half the highly
touted Dutchmen broke loose
with nine goals, five coming in
the third quarter. John Boyle led
the attack for Hofstra with five
goals as he dominated the scoring
for both sides. All-America Carl
Orent of Hofstra Was held score
less for the first time this year.
He picked up one assist for the
afternoons.
Bullock Paces Defense
In singling out one star for the
Lions the nod would probably go
to Bob Bullock who played ex
cellent defense throughout the
three games. Not one goal was
scored against Bullock as he
guarded his men with precision
like movements. '
Don Bell, goalie, also played ex
cellent defensive ball for the
Lions. Thiel said that Bell has
improved tremendously since last
year.
Although losing two of the first
three games, Thiel still remained
optimistic. He said the three Were
scheduled to give the players add
ed experience. He pointed out
that New Hampshire had played
eight games before the Penn
State
,contest, winning seven and
losing only one, that to Hofstra.
Thiel said that those three
games should help the team in the
rest • of its games, although the
schedule is the longest and rough
est in Nittany lacrosse history.

'Gorgeous'
HARRISBURG, April 13 (W)—
The State Athletic Commission, in
another show of its new get tough
policy, today barred a wrestler
from competing in Pennsylvania.
The three-man board that rules
boxing and wrestling in the state
banned George Wagner, better
known as Gorgeous George, a na
tional television star.
The action was taken, said Com
missioner Alfred M. Klein of Phil
adelphia, because Gorgeous
George failed to make a contract
ed appearance in Philadelphia on
Monday.
"Any fellow who makes a con
tract to fight or wrestle in this
state will have to live up to it,"
Klein said in disclosing the action
which is for an indefinite period.
Wagner is the first wrestler
barred from the state by the com
mission appointed recently by the
Democratic administration of Gov.
George M. Leader.
"This leaves everything up to
Wagner. It is his duty to explain
to this commission why he did
not fulfill his contract and to
make amends to the promoter for
his loss," Klein added when ask
ed if the commission would con
sider removing the ban.
Gorgeous George was scheduled
to wrestle Antonin "Argentine"
Rocco at the Adelphia. John A.
Saunders, commission secretary,
said Wagner did not notify the
commission he would not appear
but called a promoter Monday
from California.

Past Roberts
PHILADELPHIA, April 13 (Al—Robin Roberts, baseball's best
righthander, slumped down on a stool in front of his locker.
'lt was a kind of funny feeling. I've never been that close be
fore. I don't know how to describe it," he said with his baseball cap
pulled down low over his eyes.
He puffed on a cigarette as reporters asked queStions about his
near no-hitter against the New
York Giants today in the Phillies'
opening game of the season. Rob
erts pitched no-hit ball for 8 1 / 2
innings before giving up three hits
and two runs. The Phils won 4-2.
Someone asked if Bobby had
lost his stuff in that ,ninth in
ning. He straightened up quickly
and replied:
"Shucks, no, I felt great," he
D
said. "Alvin ark's hit—and it
was a good one—came off a curve
that didn't break enough. Monte
Irvin's double was hit off a curve
ball that hung up high."
Robby slumped back on the
stool to puff the cigarette some
more and, for a moment, didn't
seem to hear the questions pour
ing at him.
Then somebody asked if he had
used any new pitches today.
He perked up again, replying,
"I threw quite a few changeups,
which is something I haven't done
in a long, long time."
Then, he added a footnote to the
interview, quietly and slowly as
though wishing to emphasize his
point:
