Home Season
With Terriers
Boston University—expected to. sport a team that will be small
in size but big in power with a punch in at least six events in
cluding three in the field departments—comes to Beaver Field today.
The dual meet will end the Lion thinclad’s 1955 home season. The
meet will begin at 1 p.m.
» The Bostonites are expected to be heavily laden with talent in
the pole vault, high jump, and
broad jump. On the cinders, Bos
ton will be out to give the Lions
' a battle in the half mile, mile,
and twp mile.
Boston, however, which has al
ready had its outdoor squad
sliced apart with injuries, may
even be withjout its stars in the
field events including Bruce Hes
cock,'indoor pole vault champ and
a 6-5 high jumper, and Bernie
Bruce, another champ who- spe
cializes in the broad jump with
the 24-foot leaps.
Lloyd Bell and Bill Shearer
will run the 100 and 220-yard
dashes for Boston. Both have been
working out all Winter in the in
door 60-yard competition. Lafay
ette Thomas will add another Bos
ton man to these two events.
Thomas will also work the 440-
yard dash with Fred Dunburry.
Dunburry and Billy Smith, a lit
tle fellow who also can enter the
piile and two-mile nm, will handle
ahe 880 chores.
I Smith and George Terry, an ex-
GI who was the 1954 IC4A cross
country champ, will be one of the
main reasons for Boston’s bright
outlook in the two-mile run. Smith
will also be a strong entry in the
mile against the Lions’ Doug
Moorhead, Jim Pastorius, ana
Paul Roberts.

Captain Rosey Grier both putting
well over 50 feet in the snot and
160 feet in the discus. George San
sone and Dick Bates will put the
shot and Nat Baker and Bates will
throw the discus for Boston. Ed
Allen will be the Easterner’s jav
elin entry.
Boston has made no indication
of entering anyone in thp 120 high
hurdles and the 220 low hurdles.
With Rod Perry and Bill Youkers
backed up by Gary Seybert and
Bob Young, the Lions should have
little trouble in this event should
Boston submit an entry.
The mile relay will be one of
the top entries of the day if the
weatherman cooperates. With a
prediction set for rain, cloudiness,
and cooler weather, however, the
Lions may have difficulty in
landing a bulls eye in the shoot
ing for a record mark. Jack Mor
in, Dave Leathern, Bruce Austin,
and Art Pollard have been as
signed to run the relay in that
order.
Herb Hollowell, Harry Fuehrer,
Ben Shields, Sandy Ayers, Bob
Snyder, and Bob Pearlstein have
been assigned to their individual
places in the pole vault, high
jump, and broad jump for the
Lions. Morin and Leathern will
run the 440, A 1 Terrill Skip Slo

Three Sophs May Decide Fate
Of Linksmen in EIGA Tourney
The fate of the Penn State golf
team in the EIGA Tournament
today might well rest in the so
far capable hands of a trio of
sophomores. The three, Leo Kuk
kola, John Branish, and John
Boyanowski, have been one of the
principal reasons for the Lions’
unbeaten record this year.
Kukkola is one of four unbeaten
Penn State linksmen going into
today’s match. “Kook” has won
four matches and lost one this
year. Kukkola won, 5 and 3, at
Bucknell in the season’s opener,
and followed with successive wins
over Georgetown, Cornell, and
Gettysburg.
Boyanowski likewise has romp
ed through' his opponents this
year. He has not had a serious
scare in any of the season’s mat
ches so far. All four of his vic
tories have been by a comfortable
margin.
Branish, the third sophomore in
Rutherford’s lineup, has copped
31 Post Victories in IM Activity
Sijf soccer teams, 12 horseshoe
duos, and 13 fraternity golf
squads captured victories in a full
night of intramural action Thurs
day.
Phi Kappa Psi opened soccer
play by nipping Alpha Epsilon
Pi, 1-0; Alpha Sigma Phi and
Kappa Sigma won via forfeit; Al
pha Zeta blanked Tau Phi Delta,
1-0; Sigma Chi edged Pi Kappa
Phi, 2-1; and Delta Tau Delta
whitewashed Theta Delta Chi, 1-0.
Beth Casey and John Rodgers,
Delta Chi, led eight other fra
ternity entries into the second
round of IM horseshoe play by
defeating John Kunda and Bill
Kirsch, Phi Kappa, 21-7, 4-21, 21-
8; Bob Bonimer and Ralph Cowan,
Nelson and Bob Rose, Alpha Tau
Omega, 21-14, 21-3.
Tau Phi Delta, won a forfeit vic
three decisions while losing one.
Branish’s only loss came* in the
form of a 23-hole heartbreaker
against Cornell.
Captain Warren Gittlen, the
team’s only senior, goes into to
day’s action bearing an unbeaten
3 and 0 record. Gittlen was held
to a draw in the 8% to % con
quest of Gettysburg last week for
the only blemish on his record.
Besides Gittlen, Kukkola, and
Boyanowski, the team’s other un
beaten is Gus Gerhart. Gerhart
has won three times to compile his
unbeaten streak.
The rest of Rutherford’s squad
is composed of juniors Jim Gins
berg and Jim Mayes. Both golfers
have won four and lost one in
this season’s action. Both losses
came in the Cornell match.
Gerhart and Gittlen are veter
ans of the EIGA tourney, and
will be expected to carry the brunt
of the load. While neither was
able to qualify last year, each has
the valuable experience of play-

ing in front of large crowds—
something that might unnerve the
Lions since they are accustomed
to playing on a vacant golf
course.
The weatherman predicts rain
for today, but it is not expected
to put a damper on the Lions’
championship holes. Earlier this
week Rutherford explained that
his squad is the type that would
probably benefit by rain in a golf
match. He said that although the
precipitation would take off a few
yards from the drives off the tee,
the wet greens would make the
ball “hold”—a definite advantage
since most of the Lions are strong
“pitch” shooters.
The Yale University course,
scene of today’s battle, is a 6200-
yard “toughie” with long fairways
and tricky greens. Because of this
the hometown defending cham
pion Bulldogs will be cast in the
role of the favorite. Yale has
made a habit of winning this par
ticular meet in the past, copping
it four times in the last six years.
Ken Smith and Jim Beatty, Alpha
Gamma Rho, beat Cas Sals and
Lynn Baker, Theta Xi, 21-18,
21-3.
In independent horseshoe ac
tivity, George Harris and Jim
Schuyler took two out of three
games from Bob Findley and Ed
Dull, 21-12, 19-21, 21-19; Bill Soley
and Carl Riss stopped Clarence
Dittenhafer and Harold Pellow
in two out of three contests, 14-

and Larry Metzger trounced
George Obradovich and Tom
Smith, 21-0, 21-9.
