Face Bisons
By JOE CHEDDAR
Captain Warren Gittlen will occupy the num
ber one slot when the Penn State golf team
opens its 1955 season today against Bucknell
at Lewisburg.
After the first round of runoffs last week it
was feared that Gittlen would not qualify for
the squad; but the two-year veteran came
'through on the last 18 holes of the runoffs to
place himself up among the
leaders
The Lion squad, besides Gittlen,
will beunior Jim Ginsberg in
the number two slot; another
junior, Jim Gerhart playing third;
senior Jini Mayes teeing off
fourth; and the two soph sensa
tions, Leo Kukkola and John
Boyanwski, playing fifth and sixth
respectively.
scores Listed
The scores in the runoffs as
they were posted Saturday and
Sunday are: Kukkola 286; Ger
hart 287; Ginsberg 287; Gittlen
288; Mayes 292; and Boyanowski
294.
The playing order against the
Bisons today does not coincide
with the order of the finishers in
the runoffs, but the reason for
that is plain to see. Rutherford
must lead with his most experi
enced men; and Gittlen and Gins
berg are the most experienced.
Tomorrow's test will not be too
difficult a one for the Lions. Rath
er it will serve chiefly as a warm
up for stiffer tests. The Bisons
are not to be taken too lightly,
however. In their opener against
Cornell they were on the short
end of an 8-1 score, but several
of the matches were closer than
the score indicated. The Lions
are loaded for bear however.
Rutherford's team this year rep
resents what is perhaps the best
balanced Lion squad in years.
Best Ball Play
Today's match will be contested
on a best ball basis. One point
will be awarded for each indi
vidual game, and the match, plus
another point for the low scorer
on each hole.
The Linksmen will leave the
campus for Lewisburg at 8:30 a.m.
in order to be there in time to
play a practice round before the
actual competition begins at 1:30
p.m.
The squad for today's match
consists of only six men, but in
the next match, against George
town, the regular 7-man team
which is required in EIGA compe
tition will be used. Jim Decker,
George Kreidler, and John Bran
ish will battle it out for th e sev
enth position in a special match '
a 9-hole course.

Teams
Today
By JOHN LAWRENCE
Penn State's tennis squad takes to the road
again and today's match with Bucknell, at
Lewisburg, may very well be the one that will
put the Lion netmen on the road to a success
ful season.
After dropping their first three matches of
the campaign to Pennsylvania, 8-1, Maryland,
6-2, and Navy 9-0, today's opposition with the
Bisons promises to be one the
State netmen can meet without
'ear of facing a strong tennis
power
Coach Sherm Fogg plans no
major changes on the squad which
at present shows Chuck Christian
sen and Doug Zuker as the only
Lion winners.
Christiansen Winner Twice
Christiansen captured his first
two starts of the campaign against
Penn and Maryland, however,
the Lion junior was bounced in
the , Navy meet, 6-2, 6-1. Zuker,
receiving his first start of the sea
son, brought home the bacon for
Fogg when he defeated his Mary
land opponent, 8-6, 6-2.
Fogg will go with his number
one man, Bill Zeigler, Ed Seiling
in the second slcit, with Dean Mul
len, Chuck Christiansen, Larry
Adler and Rhymes Humphries
rounding out the signal action.
The doubles pairings will not be
known until match time.
Opponents Improved
The Lions will be facing op
ponents of slightly less calibre
than that of Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Ntivy during the re
mainder of their schedule. How
ever, every squad has improved
over the year, while Fogg has
been faced with a rebuilding
problem.
Another serious factor has been
the traditional State College
weather. Practice sessions have
had a damp cloth thrown over
them and therefore Zeigler and
his teammates have been thwart
ed in their efforts.
However, Fogg has the material
and it's just a matter of time be
fore the Lion netment should be
gin to click. Pennsylvania is a
traditional ivy league net power,
as are all ivy schools and Navy,
which had an influx of veterans
from last year's squad that wal
loped the Lions, again nroduced
a strong. solid club. Maryland
caught the State squad between
the Pennsylvania' and the mid
shipmen encounter and took ad
vantage of every break to waltz
off with a 6-2 decision.
game for the Lions. Bell gave a
remarkable performance as he
turned in a dazzling 35 saves for
the afternoon. For Bullock it was
the third time in as many weeks
that he has sparkled at his de
fensive post.
Coach Nick Thiel said that in
his opinion Rutgers displayed a
much better team in physical con
dition and in scoring ability than
Navy.
He said the team should get
back on the winning trail against
Loyola and Colgate. Loyola has
compiled a 1-2-1 record so far
this season. Its only win was over
Dickinson College, 9-8.

Lions Drop 3rd, 31;
Outhit Mountaineers
Saturday at Morgantown, W. Va., it was the same old
story for the Penn State baseball team—hits but no runs. In
fact this time the Lions outhit their diamond foe, 8-5, but
dropped their third decision of the season in five contests, 3-1.
Sophomore southpaw Ed Drapcho, on the hill for the
Lions, suffered his first loss of the still young season after
two straight wins, but turned in a fine performance striking
out nine and allowing only two free passes.
But three of those base hits,
combined with an error, were
enough to give the Mountaineers
a three-run third inning outburst
for their sixth consecutive win.
Score in Fifth
Meanwhile the Nittanies broke
lefty Don O'Haver's shutout in ,
the fifth with their only score ,
although they managed threats in
both the eighth and ninth.
The Lion attack was spearhead
ed at the plate by third baseman
Ron Weidenhammer who had a
perfect day, four for four.
Center fielder Merle Gerdes,
first baseman Pat Kennedy, Drap
cho and pinch hitter Stan Szym
anski collected Penn State's re
maining hits, with Drapcho keep
ing the Nittanies from being
blanked in the scoring column.
Bill Prank° contributed tw o
hits for the Mounties, who before
the weekend Penn State series
claimed four men batting above
the .500 clip and three more bet
tering .333 at the plate.
Franko Scores Winning Run
Franko, after starting off the
West Virginia second with a base
hit, stole second, advanced to
third on Cookie Tirabassi's error,
and scored the winners' first run
on Ron LeNeve's right field
single.
Two more West Virginia play
ers crossed the plate before the
Lion southpaw could put out the
fire and blank the Mounties the
remainder of the game.
In the- Lions' fifth, Drapcho
'singled after catcher Wally Mrasz
fanned. Captain Charlie Russo
popped to the infield for the sec
ond out before Weidenhammer
could bang out hit number three.
Gerdes, seeing his first start in
center field, singled to score
Drapcho and Kennedy brought
the , inning to a close via the
strikeout route.
Fans Three Straight
O'Haver proceeded to fan three
Lions in the sixth and two more
in the seventh, accounting for five
of his 12 strikeouts.
Drapcho had his mordent on
the mound also, with a single
West Virginia batsmen prevent
ing him from setting down 18 in
a row.
