Peru 1•• Grier Cops Third in Discus; Hollowell, Half-Milers Enter Penn Relay Finals Penn State's track Captain huge Rosey Griet placed third yesterday in the discus throw in the 61st annual running of the Penn Relays held at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Herb Hollowell, sopho more broad jumper entered finals today by placing sixth in yesterday's action. Only one of the Lions' relay squads—the half-mile relay quartet survived the action in the first day of the two-day carnival. Yesterday afternoon Grier was third in the discus with a 153' 8 1 / 2 " heave, and broad jumper Lions Seek Fourth Win, Host Bullets Going through the Beaver Field' paces in the wake of Eddie Drap cho's brilliant no-hit blanking of Bucknell yesterday, to bring its season record to 3-3, the Lion baseball nine is steadfastly prep ping for this afternoon's meeting with unbeaten Gettysbu:g. Today's contest, seventh of the season and the Nittanies' second on home grounds, is scheduled to get underway at 2:30 p.m. Lion coach Joe Bedenk, after straining his memory a, bit, said yesterday that his sophomore southpaw's showing against the Bison's was the first he's wit nessed in 25 years at the diamond helm. Other sources 11 av e revealed the last Penn State no-hit per formance was in 1912. Drapcho has accounted for all three of the Lion wins. Junior Stan Larimer (0-2) will get the nod for starting mound duties this afternoon, with Stan Szymanski close by if relief services are needed. Either Norm Van Ord or Phil Saunders will be behind the plate. Van Ord made his first varsity start against the Bisons, breaking into the lineup in the best of fashion on the receiving end of • Drapcho's hit-denying tosses. The infield, which the past two outings has begun to erase the Lions' Waterloo in earlier games, will again find Pat Kennedy, Charlie Russo, Cookie Tirabassi and Ron Weidenhammer at their regular posts from first to third. Bedenk has refused to depart with the trusty coin which has provided him with fill-ins for cen ter and right field in the past few games. With Rex Bradley cap aoly holding left under control, Bedenk must turn to the coin flip for center and right. The four candidates are Merle Gerdes, Dick Surovchak, Ken Malley and Sam Valentine. Bob McMullen may also break into today's lineup. In last year's Lion-Bullet clash, the Nittanies dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision al though managing to lead the Bullet nine at the plate, 4-3. Four Lion errors and the bril liant clutch-pitching of Joe Bierly proved to be the differ ence, with the Bullets scoring the lone run in their half of the 11th. Bierly will probably return to pester the Lions this afternoon. To date he's been Gettysburg's number one mound performer, accounting on the most part for their five wins without a set back. In addition to their five victories, the Bullets played to a 1-1 deadlock with Temple. Today's contest is the first of a four-game home stand for the Nittanies. They go against Dick inson Monday and host George town for a Sautrday twin-bill.

The Lion stickmen meet the Big Red Cornell in an afternoon contest today at Cornell. The Lions are slated to be the underdogs in this game. Leading the offense for the Nittanies in the Colgate tilt were Dick Klein and Andy Bergeson with two goals each. Jim Hay and Al LeChard contributed the other two goals. Ron Youtz was the unsung hero as he came through with three assists in aiding the Lion stick men to victory. On defense it was Captain Don Bell who came through, with 19 saves and played an outstanding game on the field. Bob Bullock played his usual fine performance for the fourth straight week. The Colgate Red Raiders out played the Lions but were handi capped by the inaccuracy of their shooting. This coupled with Bell's outstanding playing proved too much for Colgate to overcome. Bergeson Scores The game was scoreless for sev en minutes before Bergeson broke the ice, aided by Youtz, to toss one in the net. Klein followed one minute later with a driving shot from the outside to put the Nit tanies in an early lead. It was Klein again at 13:55 with a one handed shot from the outside to give the Lions a three goal edge at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter Colgate's inside attackman, Barraculough, scored with a fancy shot from 15 feet out. But Bergeson came back three minutes later with his sec ond goal to match the Raider scoring. The score at half time ended 4-1. Hay, Lechard Tally Hay started the ball rolling in the second half, when, with two minutes gone, he drove one by the Colgate goalie. Lechard fol lowed 25 seconds later with a tally aided by Geoige Bickle haupt, who made a nice pass to the opposite side of the field in order to set up the play. Jancek finished Colgate's scor ing.at 19:47 with an overhand shot assisted by Lydecker. With this win under its belt the lacrosse team now sports a 3-4 record and could even it if it hands Cornell a defeat.

Engle will be the only member of his staff who will be strictly on the outside—looking for the weak and strong points in antici pating a more effective fall prac tice session. His six assistants, however, will be busy when they split ranks to give the coaching guide to the Blue and White squads. Earl Bruce, Frank Pat rick, and Jim O'Hora will coach the Blue team while Tor Toretti, Joe'Patterno, and J. T. White will watch the White squad. Frank Reich, center and co captain, will captain the Blue squad while his classmate Otto Kneidinger, tackle and co-captain, will head the White team.
