Four-Year Veteran Paces Lion Golfers The Penn State golf team has enjoyed a great deal of success in the past few seasons for a number of reasons—fine coaching and combined team effort among others. But a large measure of the team’s success can be attributed to a single person—four-year veteran Warren Gittlen, captain and pacesetter of this year’s team. Glttlen began playing golf eight years ago at the Blue Ridge Coun try Club in Harrisburg where his father, also an avid golf fan, is a member. His interest aroused, he, with his father offering in structions, progressed rapidly. He first played organized golf while a senior in high school when his school started a team. When Gittlen came to Penn State he reported immediately for „ne golf team. He made the var sity his first year and finished the season with a 2-2 record. Dur ing the summer of the same year he won the Harrisburg Junior championship. In 1953, as a sophomore, Gitt len took his place as one of the team’s standouts when he com piled a brilliant 8-1 record, the best on the team. This record as sumes more importance when the calibre of his teammates is con sidered. Such Lion golf standouts as Rod Bakin and Gordie Stroup were members of that team Last year, as a junior, Gittlen once again put together the team’s best record when he won seven of eight matches. He has been Blue Ridge club champion for two years running, and last year he was the Harrisburg district champion. Gittlen’s father is still his great est fan. He seldom misses a match if he can help it, and plans to be present at New Haven Saturday Spring Week Dance presented by ejCambda Saturday, Shelly Saffern and His Orchestra Open to Everyone Free Informal Sweet Table Intermission Entertainment By JOE CHEDDAR when Gittlen tees off in the EIGA tournament. Gittlen credits his training coaches,'Bob Rutherford and Joe Boyle, with the moulding process that has made him a consistent winner. Rutherford and Boyle have applied the finishing touches to give him a better balanced game than he had when he first turned out for the team. Although Gittlen’s game shows a good deal of balance, he relies mostly on his woods and long irons to score most of his wins. When he enters the Easterns Saturday he will be trying to cap ture one championship that has eluded him so far. A victory in this meet would be the perfect icing ''for the cake that has done so much for Penn State golf.
