In the wake of a possible NCAA District Two playoff bid for the fourth time in Lion baseball his tory, Joe Bedenk's Nittanies carry a 15-4 record and an eight game winning streak into this after noon's contest Bedenk's only returning letter men when the 1955 season got underway, Ronnie Weidenham mer, Captain Charlie Russo, Rex Bradley, and Pat Kennedy, will be putting in their final appear ance for the Lions in tomorrow's game. Either contest could make or break the Lions', chances for a playoff bid., but one factor gives them a before-game edge in to day's contest—they're unbeaten in nine Beaver Fiel games this year. Stan Szymans kiis scheduled to face the Engineers with Joe Be denk's brilliant sophomore hurler, Eddie Drapcho, set for tomorrow's season finale with the Quakers. Szymanski has picked up his 12 1 / 2 innings on the mound strictly by relief performances, while Drapcho, now 9-1, has 88 1 / 2 in nings behind him. And in that time, the poised southpaw has struck out no less than 83, while giving up only 19 bases on balls. Forty hits off Drapcho .have ac counted for only 18 enemy scores to give him a fine 1.7 earned run average At the plate, Weidenhammer's consistent bat has set a torrid'pace for the Lion nine. With an eight game hitting streak under his belt going into today's contest, he's batting a robust .449. In 19 games he has fanned only once and gone without a hit only twice. Other bright spots in the Nit tany lineup are Bob McMullen, hitting at a .455 clip in 14 games, Jim Locker Man, who is above .300 at the plate, and Bradley and Kennedy. Five of Bradley's 22 hits have gone for two bases, one for three, and he's connected for one cir cuit clout. Kennedy leads all corn ers in the slugging department with four home runs, two triples, and a double. No matter what the outcome of the two remaining games, Bedenk and his 1955 Lions can look back to a fine season. With 15 wins be hind them to date, they've already vastly improved on last year's 9-7 record. FeW college athletes are drafted by the professionals in two sports. Yet, Penn Stat'e's Jesse Arnelle was tapped by the Port Wayne Pistons (second choice) in basket ball and by the Los Angeles Earns (tenth choice) in football.
