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.

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.

19 Trackmen Leave
For Relay Carnival
Track coach Chick Werner and his 19-man squad left by
bus this morning for Columbus, 0., and tomorrow's Ohio
State Relays—the first of four relay carnivals on the Lions'
1955 agenda.
Werner said yesterday that his 19-man team—with four
ess men than the squad he took to Navy with him last week
for a triangular season opener—
will enter six relay events and
five individual events.
The Lions will enter the quar

lays plus the distance medly race,
the two-mile relay and the shut

No Penn State entries will be
made in the 100- 300-, 600-yard

mile event.
Veterans Art Pollard, Bruce
Austin, and Dave Leathem, and

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.
