He was the leading assister on the

• Hay Underrated .•
Hay was probably the most. un.
derrated man on the squad. He
was the man who filled in for

Horikawa came through with
save after save as he intercepted
passes at the most opportune
time to consistently pull the Nit

Several• records could be run
into , the dirt on Saturday if con
ditions are right: Dick Hambright
of Tyrone High School is a threat
to' the 440-yard dash stiaidard of
49.1; seconds. Hambright has been
legging consistent 50 second flat
performances and could turn the
trick.

enebeck in the mile run. Schoen°.
bpck has already run a 4:28.2, just
a second anth a fraction off the

108.2 for the 880-yard run , in the
district, meet. This time is just
shy of the 1:57 state mark.
Altoona 880 Quartet
Altoona's other possibility is in

pion3hip quartet sprinted the dis
tance in the speedy , time of 1:32.1
in copping the. District six cham
pionships last Friday. Their clock
ing is just one second off the ex

Bell's Play
Ned Lion
Stickmen
The spirited play of captain
Don Ben - is probably the most re
sponeible force behind the Penn
State lacrosse team's most sue ,
oessful season eince 1951. The
Lions wound up the season with
a 7.5 record.
Coach Nick Thiel said the team
was inexperienced in several key
positions at the beginning of the
season but as the year progressed
the players picked up confidence
and at the season's end were play
ing "some of the best lacrosse
I've ever seen,"
Rut it was play that
lighted the spark. and started
the Lion stickman an on their
four-game winning streak at
the ammonia and. The Lions. - .
attar teeing four of their first'
Wye games, rallied to win six
of the last seven, •
In several g ames the six-foot,
185-pound se or, came up with
as many as 20 saves and averaged
better than 15 per game in 12 out
ings.
, Thiel said that Bell is an un
orthodox goalie in many respects,
but he added "his courage and
leadership never wavered. Where
as most goalies catch' the ball. in
their stick Bell never hesitated
to throw his body in front of the
oncoming pellet," he said.
The Rochester, Pa., youth was
quick and alert, and many times
anticipated an opposition so well
that . he made an extraordinary
save look easy. Thiel said. hat in
skirmishes near the goal, Rell of
ten fell on the ball rather than
give it up to the opposition.
"This team." Thiel paid, "was
a good one." one of the scrap—
pied •Pre ever coached. and it
got most of its get-up-and-go
from Bali. Ha wu an inspira
tional ler.ler."
Although Bell will be missing
next year and several key players
will :be lost, via graduation, Thiel
thinks he'll have the nucleus of
another good team for 1956.
