PACW ciY 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. • 1r • l< • • ' • ?ate w %/44, Warren Gittlen Golfer's Ace Captain 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 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 aro tr ' at.,l with three wins under their belt, THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Edwards posted a 15-10, 15-12 victory over Sigma Chi's Vanner to win the 1955 fraternity badmin ton crown.

Vanner battled back to take an 8-4 lead in the second game only to have hard fighting Edwards come back to grab the lead 10-8.
