PAGE SIX W. Virginia Hosts Lions IN 2 Games Wins number three and four are the goals of the Penn State baseball squad when it goes against West Virginia to day and tomorrow at Morgantown. ~ The Lions, 2-1 for the season, were without a mid-week game—a rare occasion of the 1955 card—since downing La fayette Saturday, 4-3. The maroon was last year's NCAA District Two kingpins, topping a field of well over 50 college teams. The Nittanies' other win came on a 26-3 opening day romp over Western Maryland. Rutgers,' one of the better teams in the widely-scattered District Two, handed the Lions their lone de feat a week ago, 4-1. The Mountaineers (8-2) are ex pected to offer the Penn State nine one of its roughest tests on the 21-game schedule Joe Bedenk left University Park at 6:15 last night for Mor gantown, , accompanied by the traveling squad limit-18 players. Rain interrupted a scheduled two hour pre-trip workout. Scheduled for 2 p.m. Today's and tomorrow's con tests will get underway at 2 p.m., with the Lions returning home early Sunday morning. The trav eling squad included seven pitch ers, three catchers, four outfield ers and a quartet of infielders. Bedenk plans to string along with the team that has seen him through the first three contests everywhere but in the outfield. On the mound, southpaw Ed Drapcho (2-0) and Stan Larimer. (0-1) are scheduled for starting assignments, with either Phil Saunders or Wally Mrasz on the receiving end, In one start and one relief ap pearance, Drapcho has yielded eight hits for three runs in 13 innings. In the same number of innings, Larimer gave up 15 for seven runs, Drapcho has struck out 13 and walked three, while Larimer has Strong Scarlet Hosts Stickmen Tomorrow When Penn State's lacrosse team meets Rutgers tomorrow it will be the third consecutive game in which the Lion stickmen have faced a national powerhouse. The 20 man squad will leave for Rutgers at 1 p.m. today by bus from the Water Tower. The Scarlet have rolled over three opponents so far this year, and the wins were registered over top-flight teams. In the opener against powerful Army, Rutgers turned back the Cadets, 11-7, and they then proceeded to bowl over Johns Hopkins, 12-4, and Lafay ette, 20-0, in successive games. In a pre-season practice game the Scarlet romped over the New Jersey Lacrosse Club, which is made up of ex-college all-stars, 38-15. Rutgers' Star Coach Al Twitchell will count heavily on sophomore sensation, Jack Daut, who tallied eight goals in the game against New Jersey, Bob Andrews, Bob Kelley, and Monte Montgomery, who was last year's high scorer. Besides the men already men tioned. Twitchell has six other veterans plus some outstanding sophomores from which to draw reserve strength. Thrc^ seniors, Pete Thomas, llic‘ l c Gleason and Tom Moffet, and two juniors, Bob Kennedy fanned 11 and issued three free passes. Saunders owns two starts be hind the plate, one more than Mrasz. Reserve catcher Norm Van Ord and pitchers Lynn Harbold, Stan Szymanski. Hugh Cooper, Maurice Peace, and Bill Burcin also made the trip. First baseman Pat • Kennedy, second baseman and captain, Charlie Russo, shortstop Cookie Tirabassi. and third sacker Ron Weidenhammer ar e Bedenk's choices to handle infield chores.' In three games and 13 trips to the plate, Tirabassi leads the in field four with four hits and a .307 average. Weidenhammer's .272 is second, Russo follows with a .266 and Kennedy holds a .214 percentage. Kennedy has hit for the circuit twice, and he and Wei denhammer each slammed a tri ple. The infield has accounted for one double play. Outfield Replacements Bedenk plans to start reserve outfielders Kep Malley and Dick Surovchak in center and right, replacing Jim Lockerman and Sam Valentine. Rex Bradley will be in left field. Standout pinch-hitting roles have earned Mally and Surovchak starting berths. Malley is pacing the Lion batters with a .75 aver age in eight official times at bat. Surovchak contributed a pinch triple to drive in Penn State's only score against Rutgers. and Chuck Richardson, played the majority of the season last year. Sophomores Bruce Barney and Gary Docherty supply additional punch to the Scarlet's reserve power. Heavy Practice Sessions Coach " Nick Thiel has been sending his boys through heavy practice sessions in an effort to polish up a few dark spots. He said that the team is working hard to fill up the holes in the defense which Navy discovered in Saturday's game. He said the inexperience of his players in the Navy game was one reason why the Middies romped. The defensive team did not follow their men on plays and Navy capitalized on this, Thiel said. He said that scouting reports on Rutgers show that the Scarlet have a hard running and a good dodging team. rHE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE IDENNSAVAMA Intramural Roundup Volleyball Results TiVelve volleyball teams, si x fraternity arid six independent, fourteen fraternity badminton en tries, and 14 handball combos gained victories in a full night of intramural activity Wednesday at Rec Hall.

Nis message is: Go to the Chuck .Wagon What you may have heard about RCA's' standards for technical personnel IS true. To some, these standards may seem exacting. To the exceptional man, however, a career with ECA. can mean a refreshing lack of regimentation, preconceptions and other impediments to real creative activity. Gradtiate engineers associate closely with men who have made major contributions to their fields, many of whom are scientists of international standing, pioneering the new science of automatic control. Among ECA's projects are automatic controls for business and industry, electronic busineis machines, digital and analog computers. A solid base of commercial products assures job stability and compensation on a high ' industrial salary scale. To keep pace with industry's demand for more rapid developments in automatic control, ECA is enlarging its technical staff. Positions are open for graduates with a souse theoretical background, broad interests and knowledge, and a desire to put professional curiosity to work.
