'OW ABOUT SOME CRICKET OUV'NERT
Ever hear of cricket? It's the British version of American
baseball.
Shades of a bloody Englishman. Cricket will make its
debut at Penn State this afternoon when a team of bluebloods
from all over the British Commonwealth will represent the
University in a match against a group of *lvy Leaguers from
Princeton. A match against a Cornell aggregation was sched
uled last year but was cancelled at the last moment.
The match, if you're interested, will be in front of the
Forestry building at 2:30 this afternoon. The Penn State
players are members of the Cosmopolitan Club and are
made up of foreign students from England, Australia, Brit
ish West Indies, and India.
Last year, the Penn State cricket squad played the Em
bassies in' Washington, D.C. and lost to the Ambassadors 120-
97. (Baseball was never like this.)
Let's look at this 250-year-old British national pastime a
little more closely. Well to start, the fair playing field ex
tends 360 degrees around home plate, or the wicket, instead
of in front of the batter. This is because the batter doesn't
even have to hit the ball to get on base, he can let it go past
and the fielders behind him have to make the plays.
As for the pitcher, called the bowler, he must pitch the
ball without bending his elbow. As a result, the ball hits the
ground before reaching the batter. The home plate, or wick
et, is nine inches, wide and' nine inches high. The bowler gets
a running start and fires the ball in. This could make 'it dif
ficult to hit. Bobby Feller was clocked at firing his fast ball
at 90 miles an hour.
The length of the game is indefinite as is the number
of runs. International matches have been known to last
five days but I don't think the bops plan to start one of
those fiascos this afternoon. Runs are scored every time .a
runner changes bases, so an adding machine could be atand
ard equipment for a cricket match.
Well there you are. Get it? I don't either. Our best bet
would be to' go up on Ag Hill this afternoon and take a look
see for ourselves.
Cheerio pip, pip, and all that sort of rot!

the 14th and 15th holes on the
way. to his victory. Today's win
was the seventh in succession for
the sophomore ace.
Leo Kukkola, the third sopho
more in Rutherford's lineup, ex
perienced his worst match of the
year, but still had enough in the
pinch to gain a one up win over
Ryer Schermerhorn. "Kook" was
two up after the first nine holes,
but bogied two holes in th e
stretch to end in a tie. On the
19th he outdrove his opponent by
15 yards and lay 50 yards from
the pin. On his next shot he hit
a solid iron shot ten yards past
the pin. He then putted twice to
par the four-stroke hole for the
victory. His opponent was prac
tically even after his followup,
but blew the putt that ended it in
favor of Kukkola.
Jim Ginsberg cemented th e
shutout by taking a 4 and 3 win
from Jim Davidson.

Stickmen Host Quakers,
13 Seniors in Windup
Penn State's "comeback kids," enjoying their best season since 1951, will be after two main ob
jectives in today's encounter with the Penn lacrosse team—the mythical Penn-Del title and their four*
consecutive victory.
The contest, 'which is the last of the season for the Lions, will begin at 2:30 this afternoon co
Beaver Field, not at 3:15 as was previously scheduled.
The Lion stickmen will be min
us the services of head coach Nick
Thiel; who is in Chicago on a
business trip. This is the first time
in 21 years that the Lion mentor
has missed a varsity lacrosse
game. Assistant Coach Ernie Baer
will direct ,the squad.
The Nittanies will be seeking
their seventh win of the season,
while the Quakers sport a 3-6-1
card, with a 18-9 win over La
fayette on Wednesday for their
latest victory.
Penn's poor record is due not
only to inexperience, but also to
its schedule, one of the roughest
in the East.
Penn Has 3 Wins
The Quakers lost to Navy,
Princeton, Rutgers, Baltimore, and
tied Harvard. These teams are
ranked with the strongest in the
nation. Penn scored victories over
Delaware, Drexel, and Lafayette.
Leading the boys of Bob Mat
thews, in his first year as Penn
head coach, will be captain • Ken
Kirtz. Kirtz has 18 goals and 14
assists to his season's credit, ex
cluding the Lafayette game.
Another veteran is Jim Cav
anaugh, a big, fast holdover, who
heads the defensive picture for
Penn. He is the only returning
defensiveman. On offense Phil
Hummer, 'Ken Barclay, and Bob
Vance are the returnees along
with Kirtz.
' Quakers Won Penn-Del
Last year the Quakers, with a
7-0 league record, won undisplited
possesSiop of the Penn-Del title
and completed one of their best
seasons in recent years. They also
scored a close 9-7 win over the
Nittanies.
In the past four years, the Lions
have won two from Penn. The
Quakers have taken the Lions the
last two years.
For the stickmen, this is the
best year since 1951, when they
hid a 6-3 record. In 1952 and 53
they ended with a 1-7 card and
last year carded a 2-7 recoil.
This year, after winning the
opening encounter with Adelphi,
the Lions dropped four straight,
then broke their streak with a win
over Loyola and proceeded to lose
to Cornell after swamping Col-
