time is 1 rEth•
The Lioti yearlings, fresh from
a 68-63 triumph over the Pitt
freshmen, will be seeking their
second win of the year. In their
first meet, the frosh were whip
ped by the Navy Plebes, 74-55.
Cornell represent; sort of a
mystery- for Coach Norm Gordon,
since no information onthe Big
Red wits available for him to
study. "All I know is that they
are fairly strong in the sprihts
and the distance events," Gordon
said.
The Lion attack Will again be
spearheaded by John Tullar,
Ogier Minis, and Gus Ormrod.
All three put oh sparkling per
formances in the Pitt encounter.
Others who are being counted
on to aid the Lion cause are

Breslin, and high jumper Clafk
Boyd.
Rossi finished runnerup in the
220-yard dash and was a mem
ber of the winning mile relay
team in Tuesday's meet. Breslin

will close its . 1950 season when it
encounters the Colgate frosh on
the Beaver Field diamond at 2
p.m. today.
Ron Smith, ace righthander of
the frosh pitching corp, will most
likely get the can to start today's
contest with eier Dick Biery
or Bob Scrabis behind the plate.
Big Smith will be after his third
win of the campaign against no
losses. The young righthander
made his last appearance in the
9-9 tie with Bucknell when he
came in to squelch a Bison rally
with the sacks loaded and no one
out.
The rest d the yearling's line
up will probably remain intact
with one or two possible excep
tions, Coach John Egli said.

season, will be out to avenge a
6-2 defeat set on them by the
Colgate squad last year. Today's

by a 9-0 whitewash.
Colgate Highly Rated
The Maroon netters are rated as
one of the top squads in the East
by Nittany Coach Sherm Fogg.
He said that the Raiders are load
ed from their top man down, and
that the match should be the
toughest the Lions will face thig
year,
One of the big factors in the
Raider's strength is that four of
their six starters from last year's
squad are back in the field. One
of these is last year's number one
performer, Dave Lewis, who is
also the Maroon's ace this cam
paign. He was defeated in last
spring's encounter by Dick Robin
son who was a senior, 3-6, 6-1, 8-3.
, Pomerants Returns
Colgate captain Mary Pomer
antz also played in last season's
match. He was downed by State's
number four man Bruz Ray 4-6,
6-4, 6-3. He will be in the same
spot this year.
Another returnee is Kent Hip
kins who will go in the third, poSi
tion today. He knocked off Bill
Ziegler last year 4-6, 8-4, 6-4. The
fourth veteran is Bo Meyer *ho
was beaten by Ed Selling in the
last fracas, 6-3, 8-2. He will go at
the sixth spot.
Other starters for the visiting
Paidors will he Leigh Strassener
Host Strong
Team Today
in the ntamber two positions and
Jack McGinty who will appear in
the fifth slot.
To add to Fogg's troubles the
Lion mentor cannot decide What
his starting lineup will be. He
said that, probable starters would
be Captain Bill Ziegler and John
Cleary.
Fogg Reviews Lineup
He added that Chris Christian
sen and Larry Adler might also
see singles action and said he was
thinking of using Joe Eberly and
Al Williams who-displayed a good
brand of tennis at Juniata on
Monday.
For the remainder of his lineup.
Coach Fogg can select from. Ed
Selling, Dean Mullen, Doug Zuk
er, and Rhymes Humphreys. All
have seen singles action in pre
vious matches.
The Lions will continue their
home stand next week when they
will play their last two encounters
of the campaign. Next Wednesday
the. Foggmen will face the Buck
nell netmen and on Saturday

sity of Pittsburgh court squad.

Lion Golfers
Whitewash
Raiders, 7-0
By JOE CHEDDAR
Jim Mayes, the newest Nittany
links star, shot a brilliant two un
der par 67 to lead the Penn State
golf team to an overwhelming 7-0
shutout defeat over the Colgate
University linksmen yesterday
afternoon on the local greens.
Mayes completely overpowered
his opponent, Don Edwards, in
rolling up his win. He started off
quickly by registering a one over
par 35 to lead at the turn four
up, and gathered momentum as
he went. the final nine Mayes"'
birdied the 11th, 17th, and 18th
holes for a three under par 32 and
a 7-5 win. His total 67 was the
lowest medal score in a regula
tion march so far this season.
But Mayes was not the whole
story for the linksmen. Captain
Warren Gittlen and Gus Gerhart
both scored par 69's, and John
Branish and Jo h n Boyanowski
registered one over par 70's in
racking up wins. As a whole, to
day's effort, according to Coach
Bob Rutherford, represented the
best Lion golfing day since •he
took charge in 1950.
Gittlen's win, although a fine
effort, was not an easy one. The
Lion captain went one over par
on the front nine to take a two
hole lead at the turn. But on the
back nine his opponent, Raider
Captain Jim Smith, got hot and
scored a three under par 32 to
knot the count after the regula
tion 18 holes. Gittlen came back
to cop the extra hole and register
a one up win.
Gethart, currently playing at
the top of his game, continued his
play by rapping out a business
like par 69 score for a 5 and 4
victory over the Raider's Jim Da
vis. Davis was never in the game
against the Nittany golfer. Ger
hart played even par throughout
the match. He scored a par 34 on
the front nine to go three up, and
added to the advantage in the fi
nal stretch to get the 5 and 4 vic
tory.
Sophomore Branish added to
his victory string. He totaled a
96 and a 34 for a one over par
70, in taking a 5 and 4 victory ov
er John Downey. Branish was one
up after nine. He birdied the 13th,
15th, and 18th holes, in winning.
Branish was two under going on
to the 16th hole; but then scored
a disastrous double-bogie and lost
two valuable strokes. He stayed
even on the 17th and went one
under on the final hole. On this
hole he drove to within 40 feet of
the green, but had a bad lie. He
uncorked a beautiful approach to
the pin that just missed dropping
by inches for a birdie, and then
sank the putt—a five-footer.
Boyanowski, had to
,come from
behind to gain his win. He went
one down after the front nine but
registered a par 35 in the stretch,
while his opponent, Sherm Peter
son, slumped to a 41. He birdied
