THURSDAY, APRIL 19. 1956 Netmen Face Penn Saturday "If we play the same game against Penn that we played against Maryland, we'll drop an other one," prophesied tennis coach Sherm Fogg, looking to the Saturday meeting of the Lions and Quakers in Philadelphia. According to Fogg, the team played a better game against Navy where they were held score less, than against last Saturday's Maryland squad. Fogg cited the three individual matches in which his men won their first sets, but lost the matches. The margin of technical court ability was not as indicated by the final score, and Fogg ex pressed disappointment at the 7-2 result. Play in Phila. The netmen will leave for Phila delphia Friday evening to meet a Quaker team that had had much the same troubles as those faced by the Nittanies so far. Penn has had to postpone their first two Matches of the season because of inclement weather. On April 11, three days before the opening of the Penn State season, they were shutout by a superior Yale team, 9-0. Last year the Quakermen were the opening match at the Beaver field courts and they easily downed the Lions, 8-1. The only victor for the home team was Chuck Christiansen. However, last year's Pennsylvania team was a well practiced group. Lion Lineup The lineup in Philadelphia will feature much the same team that lost to the Terrapins. The only change may be in the singles where Fogg is seeking to strength en the team. Other changes in the personnel list will be the one and two spot switching between Fred Trust and Ed Seiling, who will be alter nating in those positions for the rest of the season, and the same arrangement between the third and fourth listings between Chuck Christiansen and Dean Mullen. Upcoming Sophomores The only upcoming strength that the Lions are counting on as possibilities for later season strength are two sophomores. One, Fred Trust, who is already a mainstay of the team and the other possible starter that Fogg mentioned is Mike Walker. After meeting Pennsylvania, the Lions meet Colgate April 27 to round out the top tough four to whom Fogg looked for the most trouble.
