tanies to a 2-1 win over a
strong Lafayette team yester

in each of the first, sixth, and
eighth innings to continue his
mastery over the Maroo n. He
beat them last year at Lafayette
with a six-hitter.
Tirabassi's game-winning blow
tame in the third inning with the
Lions trailing 1-0 at the time.
First baseman. Gary Miller, op
ened the inning, grounding out
second to first. Drapcho then
flied out to rightfield for the sec
ond out of the inning. But second
sacker Lou Schneider kept the
Lions **alive" when he driiled a
single through the box and then
proceeded to steal second a mo
ment later.
Tirabassi. with the count two
balls and one strike. hit a low
fast ball over the leftfielder's
outstretched arms to drive in
Schneider with the tying run
and then broke the tie when he
crossed home plate before the
throw.
The Maroon scored in the
first inning when Schneider
dropped a high pop fly to put
shortstop Ernie Peters on sec
ond base. Then catcher Ted
Sloan slammed a single to score
Peters.
The Maroon were held hitless
the next sixth inning when sec
ond baseman Tom Morgan beat
out a drag bunt down the fk - st
base line. Drapcho disposed of
him a minute later when he
picked him off base.
Tirabassi led the Lion hitters,
banging three out of the six hits
garnered by the team. Jim Lock
erman and Schneider »•ere the
only other Lions to hit safely.
The Lions threatened in the first
and eighth innings but failed to
score each time. In the first frame
Bob McMullen, on first base via
a fielder's choice, tried to make
third base on catcher Don Stick
ler's single but was thrown out
by Lafayette's left fielder, Jack
Blotter.
Bob Machiorlete. Maroon

single and a walk. It was the
only other Lafayette threat of the
game.

and walked three while Lafayette
hurler, Bill Tate, struck out four

Missing the inspring leadership of high scoring captain Bob
Hamel, the Nittany Lion Lacrossemen saw their four-game winning
streak snapped by Loyola yesterday afternoon, 10-8.
Coach Nick Thiel's array will try to get back on the winning
trail this afternoon when they meet heavily-favored Navy in the
second game of the weekend
series.
Playing against an aggressive
upset-minded Loyola outfit, • the
Lion stickmen sorely missed the
talents of the veteran Hamel.
Hamel was forced to remain at
home because of an expected
child in the family.
Hamel's midfield position was
handled with efficiency by letter
man Jeff Bostock, but the stick
men couldn't whip up the'right
scoring combination without the
play-making efforts of Hamel.
Behind' 6-1 at halftime, the
Lions rallied for seven goals fol
lowing the intermission but their
efforts fell short of the required
victory mark. Attackmen Bill
ess and Tom Seeman led the
second-half surge—Hess tallying
four times and Seeman twice.
Hess was also credited with three
assists while his teammate was in
on two other Lion goals.
Hess' scoring output lifted his
five-game total to 18 and brought
the sophomore flash closer to the
seasonal goal record of 24 set by
Al Fulton in the 1954 campaign.
Bill McFadden and Franklin
were the big guns in the Loyola
offense. Franklin scored five goals
and McFadden three. McFadden
is the same man who paced the
Greyhound attack last year when
the local stickmen pinned a 17-8
defeat on the Baltimore school.
McFadden started . the scoring
off at 3:20 of the first period and
before the Lions could recuper
ate Coach Charley Wenzel's crew
had run up a 4-0 first period lead.
Bostock broke the ice for the
Lions, scoring unassisted with 6:02
gone in the second stanza. But the
Greyhounds same'right back with
two goals for a 6-1 halftime tally.
Franklin tallied two more goals
!for the Greyhounds in the third
quarter before Hess and Seeman
went into action. During this
time, Seeman, assisted by Hess,
blasted two into the net and Hess,
Iwith the help of Seeman, bagged
I one.
