PAGE si: 'Nine Links Lions Play At Colgate In Big Test The Lion diamond squad, owner of 11 wins in 15 outings, engages in the first of a three game road trip, its last of the season, this afternoon at Ham ilton, N.Y. For the second time in three days the Nittanies will be facing one of the top contenders for title honors in District Two of the NCAA baseball circuit. Colgate’s Maroon Raiders, per ennially one of the district’s bet ter teams, were winners in four of their first five starts this sea son, and they’ve continued to brush aside just about all comers on their way to district honors. Stsih Larimer, one of Joe Be denk’s leading mound perform ers, although he’s only 1-3 for the season, is scheduled to take the hill this afternoon. Face Orange in Twin-Bill Tlhe Lions meet Syracuse to morrow in their second double header of the season. Eddie Drap cho (7-1) will go the first game, tfrith either Lynn Harbold (2-0) Or Bill Burcin (1-0) getting the assignment in the finale. Coach Red O’Hora’s Raiders, a team that credits timely hitting and effective pitching to its suc cess, is expected to give the Nit tanies one of their severest tests. Power-hitting Ted Carangelo, in rightfield and batting fourth tot the Raiders, and hurlers Larry Bossidy and George Fishburn, have been the big factors in the Maroon’s success. Drop 7-5 Till in '54 Last year the Nittanies bowed to Colgate, 7-5, although they led the Maroon in hitting, 9-6. Five costly Pen a State errors proved to be the difference. With all four of the Lion losses coming on the road, the Nittanies will be out to bring their away record closer to the home card in the win column. They’ve rack ed up eight straight Beaver Field victories. Syracuse, below their annual par this year, still may provide the Nittanies with some rough sledding. Tlfe Orange twin-bill stands alongside the Colgate tilt as a crucial test—if the Lions are to receive District recognition. Rained Out Last Year The 1954 twin-bill scheduled between the Orange and the Nit tanies was rained out. Right- or left-handed pitching will decide whether Bedenk will start newcomer Paul Palumbo or veteran slugger Pat Kennedy at first. Palumbo is a lefty, and (Continued on page seven) Netters Host Power-Laden Colgate; Hope for 6th Victory The Penn State tennis team will face one of its biggest tests tomorrow afternoon when the Colgate Maroon Raiders in vade the Nittany courts. The match will begin at 1:30. Colgate’s netmen boast one of the most power-laden squads in the East. Lion coach, Sherman Fogg, rates the Raiders as one of the toughest teams in the district. He said that the visitors have strength from the top man down. Last year, Colgate dropped the Nittanies 6-3, by virtue of three doubles victories after the match was deadlocked at the end of the singles encounters. The Maroon boast a winning streak of three straight over the Foggmen, hav ing copped two wins in 1953, one of which was a 9-0 shutout The Nittany netters will be gun ning for their sixth victory of the Starts Final Road Trip; men Host Maroon Today Cagers Elect Fields, H off man 's 6 Captains Bobby Hoffman, Farrell’s contribution £o Penn State’s football and basketball team, and junior Earl Fields of NeW Kensington, have been named co-captains of Penn State’s 1955-56 basketball.squad. f Hoffman, who misses the six-foot mark by two inches, and Fields, six foot on the button, each have had two years of competition. Fields has worked' the forward slot for the Lions’ cage squad while' Hoffman has been the sparkplug for the cagers both with nis deadly set shooting from outside and nis front-line “chasing” ability on the 1-2-2 de fensive play. Penn State finished the 1954- 55 season with a 17-8 card plus one victory against two defeats in National Collegiate Athletic Association tourney competi tion. The bid to the NCAA was the third in four years for the Lions. Fields was a deadly, menace to the opposition with “his left-hand ed push shot both on the inside and on the side lanes of the hard wood. He and Hoffman were part of the squad that rewrote prac tically every record book in Penn State’s cage history. Under John Egli, in his fresh man year as Nittany floor men tor. the Niltanies totaled 2032 points and averaged 78.6 points a game—almost ten points bet ter than the previous mark of 69.3 set in the 1953-54 season.

Coach Fogg is undecided on his starting lineup but did say that it would not be the same as has previously seen action. The Lion mentor said, however, that he would probably start Cap tain Bill Ziegler in the number one position and John Cleary in the second spot. The remainder of the lineup was still a ques tion mark. He said there was a possibility of using sophomores Joe Eberly and A 1 Williams on ihe strength of their singles per formances against Juniata on Wednesday. The duo copped the fifth and sixth singles matches respectively to put the match in a three-three tie at the end of the singles play. Fogg also said that juniors Chris Christiansen and Larry Ad ler would probably see singles ration.

The Red Raiders, traditions' “spoilers” against the Nittanies, have, won 12 matches and lost four this season. The Colgate team is made up predominantly of underclassmen. They have three returning lettermen Jim Smith, Jim Davidson, and Ryer Schermerhorn, all juniors; and three newcomers, Jim Davis, Don Edwards, and Bob Miller. Smith, the team captain, beat Gordie Stroup, 2-1, in last year’s match on the Colgate links. He shot a one-over par JJ, the medal ist score in the matoh, to gain his win. Stroup was also hot, posting a 71—good enough to win in most matches. The Raider’s number two man, Davidson,, also captured a win in last years encounter. Davidson blrdied -the 18th hole in an ex tended match to barely edge Joe Webb, 1 up. The third returning letterman, Schermerhorn, lost to this year’s captain Warren Gitt len, 4-3. The Colgate newcomers com bine to make the Raiders a very formidable outfit. Davis is the foremost of the sophomores, play ing the number three position and owning a seasonal mark of 11 wins and 5 losses. The Lion lineup will be the same as for every other match for today’s hassle. Warren Gitt leii, Gus Gerhart, Leo Kukkola, and John Boyahowski will be en deavoring to extend their per sonal win streaks. The order of play will be released just prior to the beginning of the match.

Besides the damages, the suit also sought an injunction restrain ing the NBA from proceeding with the 1955-56 schedule of games which exclude the Wash ington team. Last week the Washington group warned if it is not admitted by the NBA it will start a rival circuit. Turner Is 11-5 Favorite NEW YORK, May 19 (/P)—Hav ing knocked out rugged Ramon Fuentes once before, Philadel phia’s Gil Turner is an 11-5 fav orite to beate the ex-Marine from Los Angeles again in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. The 24-year-old Turner, fight ing better now than at any time in the past two years, will be seek-, s ng his sixth straight victory ih the 10-rounder. r FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1955 coughest of the season foi the Lions. Rutherford has nothing but respect for the Raiders—-ana its no wonder. In the past the Col gate linlcsmen have made a habit of busting Lion double-figure win streaks. They shuttered one in 1952, and another last year. Their win last year was a thriller from the beginning. The lead changed hands three times before the Col gate nurriber seven man won it for the Raiders. The final score was 4-3. Coach Rutherford, now in - his sixth season as the Nittany golf mentor, has a very enviableiwon lost record. Since 1950, his. first season at the helm, his teams have won 36 matches arid lost only eight. In 1950, the first year his team recorded a 6-2 recDtd, it lost only to Colgate and Titer. After that he developed consis tent standout teams, never once going below the .500 percentage mark. -::*r; His worst season Was' in 1952 when after winning its first three matches, his team fell apart and lost the final two. The reason for the abbreviated season was that the school administrators de cided to drop golf, but changed their minds.. By the time they reconsidered, the Lion ooponents had scheduled different opponents arid could not break their com mittments to fit the Nittanies back in their schedules. During this term Coach Ruth erford was able to command only one unbeaten team. That was in 1953 when his team copped all eight dual meets.

The meet was originally intend ed to include seven teams, but through a batch of technicalities that only women can explain, the field was narrowed to two teams.
