Sl' Mountaineers Whip Lions, 9-3' Nittanies Try Again Today; Once again finding base hits as scarce as fish on a desert, the Penn State baseball team dropped a lopsided 9-3 decision to the Mountaineers of West Virginia yesterday in the first of a two-game weekend series at Morgantown. Joe Bedenk will pit southpaw Ed Drapcho (2-0) against the Moun taineers in this afternoon's con test, the Lions' fifth of the sea son. Wally Mrasz will probably be behind the plate. Steve Harrick's Mountaineers, in top contention for the South er n Conference championship, brought their season's log to 10-1, with the Lions now at an even Ace pitcher Jim Heise, one of two returning varsity lettermen for the Mounties, held the Nit tanies to five hits in gaining his seventh consecutive win without a defeat. Stopped in Fifth The Lions scored two in the third and one in the fifth, with• Heise turning on the 'heat to set the Nittanies down in order in the final three innings. He struck out eight and issued one free pass. Stan Larimer, receiving his second loss in three starts, suc cumbed to Stan Szymanski in the second with no one out, one run in and second and third occupied. The winners tallied four more runs before BedenWs nine could manage out number three. The pair allowed only six West Virginia hits, but nine walks and two wild pitches, coupled with three Lion errors, proved to be the difference. Two Lion Hits Rex Bradley, three-year Penn State left fielder, went two-for three at the plate and accounted for two Lion scores, but relin quished batting honors to the winners' Christy Kaltnecker who banged out half of West Virginia's six safeties. Bradley connected for a left, center off-the-wall doubt e, the game's only extra-base hit, to start off the Lions' third follow ing the Mountaineers' five-run second inning outburst. Catcher Phil Saunders' single advanced Bradley to third, be fore he scored on Szymanski's base hit. The Lion hurler was tagged out going into second, but Captain Charlie Russo's single drove in Saunders for Penn State's second run before Ron Weidenhammer flied to center and Dick Surovchak grounded out. Lions' Final Run Bradley again started the Lions moving with a fifth-inning single. l He advanced to second on an er ror and scored on two consecu tive fielder's choices. Weidenhammer, Lion third baseman, walked in the sixth and took second on a wild pitch. Then Heise bore down and the Nit tanies failed to see first the re mainder of the game. The winners added two runs in the bottom of the second, and one each in the fifth and eighth.

The Lions • took it on the chin on their recent sojourn, losing to Maryland, 6-2, and receiving a complete whitewash from Navy 9-0. However, with their stronger opponents behind theln, the Lion netment will be shooting for their first victory on Tuesday, when they tangle with Bucknell Uni versity on the Bisons' courts at Lewisburg. No Changes Planned Fogg plans no major changes on the squad, which has dropped all three of its matches thus far, including an 8-1 loss to Penn in the season's opener. Chuck Christiansen and Doug Zuker have provided the Nittahy squad with its only three vic tories of the campaign. Christian sen came from behind in the Penn contest to defeat Gil Van Wooden in the final set and followed this by , humbling . Maryland's Rollie Zuker also captured his match against the Terrapins, de feating Don Kammerer in straight sets. Victim of Circumstances One might say the Lion net men were victims of circum stance. Having beih seriously hampered in their pre-season practice sessions by the State Col lege weather, the squad ran into its roughest competition early in the campaign.
