Golfers to Try for 4th
At Gettysburg Today
The Penn State golf team goes after victory number four today when it meets the
Gettysburg College linksmen on the Bullet's greens at Gettysburg, Pa.
The Lions shutout the Bullets, 9-0, in their meeting last year, and will be favored
to repeat the trick again this season. Gettysburg is playing under a new coach this year,
former basketball ace Bob Davies, who starred a half-dozen seasons with the Rochester Royals
of the National Basketball Association. But new coach or not, the Bullets are not expected
to hinder the Lions rush for an
unblemished campaign.
Lion coach, Bob Rutherford,
will present a slightly changed
lineup from the one that has been
rolling over all its opponents thus
far this season. The reason for
the change is that Gettysburg uses
only a six-man team. Because of
this one of the Lions will be
forced to sit out in today's match.
Coach Rutherford has not yet in
dicated which of his men it will
be: he will .probably not decide
until he notes how the meet is
progressing
The squad against Cornell on
Saturday consisted of Warren
Gittlen, Jim Ginsberg, Jim Gear
hart, Jim Mayes, Leo Kukkola,
John Boyanowski, and George
Branish.
Captain Gittlen, and Gearhart
Were the only two Lions in to
day's lineup that were present
at last year's runaway. Both men
Won easily at Cornell. Gittlen won
8 and 7, and Gearhart 9 and 8.
Because of their performances
last year, both men will probably
be cast in the role of favorites in
today's hassle.
Gittlen, Gearhart, Kukkola, and
Boyanowski have all gone unde
feated so far this season, and will
be out to protect their skeins in
today's match. All four have won
all their matches in a convincing
manner. Of the four, Gittlen is a
senior.
The other three Nittanies, Jim
Ginsberg, Jim Mayes, and George
Branish, have lost only one match
each—all coming against Cornell
on Saturday.
With a break in their favor at
any time during the contest the
trio might still be undefeated.
Ginsberg shot a 72 Saturday, only
to have his opponent card a one
under par 68 to turn what other
wise might have been a win, to a
loss. Mayes was equally as un
lucky in his match. The steady
junior was leading by three holes
after the front nine, but then
lost his fine edge and blew the
match.
The fate of sophomore Branish
was even more of a tough-luck
story. He was three down after
Stickmen Just Don't
Adjust Quickly—Thiel
By FRAN FANUCCI
"Nick" Thiel sat back in his
office chair, shook his head nega
tively, and said• "The team just
doesn't adjust well to new situa
tions."
The lacrosse mentor was refer
ring to the Cornell contest last
Saturday, which th e stickmen
lost 11-8. Thiel said that all
through the game the Cornell
stickmen repeatedly ylssed over
the heads of his men to score goals
which should never have gotten
past the defense.
"If they would only watch for
new plays to develop maybe they
would be able to adjust better," he
said. He pointed out that in the
Cornell game his men were con
stantly out of position, allowing
thei - opponents to ge t behind
them and thus g , t a clear shot at
the goal.
Make Same Mistakes
He said his players make the
identical mistakes in every game.
"We can't run every type play
in practice to cure them of this
habit," he said.
Thiel also attributes the inex
perience of his men as the cause
of these continuous errors.
"If they only played as well as
they dic in the Loyola contest we
would have taken Cornell," he
said. Thiel said that his team play
ed an under-par game at Colgate,
but that the Maroon's lack of vet
erans forced them to "bite the
du-A."
In the Colgate game the Lions
were outshot, but it was only be
cau h^ Maroon lacked any kind
of sl-c r that they didn't win,
Thiel said. •

the first nine, but rallied strongly
in the back nine to finish in a
deadlock with his opponent. He
then went to the 23rd hole, play
ing even, before losing when his
opponent tabbed a birdie four on
the par five hole.
Horseshoe Entries Due
Entries for Ih e intramural
horseshoe doubles tournament
must be turned in to the IM
office, Rec Hall, by 4:30 p.m.
Friday. An organisation may
enter one team; independents
may enter unattached. Official
rules will govern th e single
elimination tournament with a
match consisting of the best-of
three 21 point games.
Horseshoes provided by the
intramural office must be used
in all matches. Matches will be
played at 6:30 p.m. on th e
courts at the north side of Rec
Hall. Tourney competition will
start May 11. An entry fee of 50
cents per teary will be charged.
He then got out of his chair,
sat on the edge of the desk, and
continued:
"Locotos (Frank) was playing
his worst game of the season up
to the fourth quarter, then he
broke loose for three goals," he
said. Everyone on the attack could
have scored more if they would
just get a little confidence in
themselves and in the plays they
are using, he added.
Lions Can Score
"They (the players) think be
cause the plays do not work in
practice that they won't work
in the ball games. This is only
because they ar e scrimmaging
against their own teammates who
know the plays too," Thiel said.
He then pointed cut that in the
Cornell game the Lions ran only
seven plays: but, he added, they
scored on five o:' them.
Becoming slightly optimistic,
Thiel said that if Joe Erwin and
Bob Hamel had been there it
would have a great difference.
Hamel plays his best against a
team like Cornell, and Erwin is
always good for at least two or
three goals, he said.
Bell. Bullock Star
He gave credit to Captain Don
Bell and Bob Bullock. He said
Bell saved goals which seemed
destined to go into the net, and
Bullock plajed his usual outstand
ing game on defense.
Next game for the Lion stick
men will be on Saturday at Beav
er Field against Thiel's old Alma
Syracus , . The Orangemen

under their belt,
