PAGE SIX NittaniesTop Penn, 9-2; Drapcho Wins A pre-season statement by Baseball Coach Joe Bedenk may turn out to be the under statement of the year. The veteran coach said if his sophomore and junior players came through during the season the team would possibly have a winning record. Saturday the Lions scored their sixth win in seven starts when they defeated the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, 9-2, at Philadelphia. And most of the credit goes to junior pitch ing ace Ed Drapcho, his sopho more battery partner Don Stick ler. and sophomore first baseman Gary Miller, Drapcho spun a neat four hit ter and struck out 13 batters en route to his third win of the sea son, while Miller and Stickler each banged two hits to lead the Nittany offense. Drapcho was the other two-time hitter for the Lions. Drapcho allowed his first earned run of the year when Penn second sacker Mel Seki poled a home run 'in the third inning. Drapcho had extended his inning streak to 25 before allowing the homer. Drapcho Coasts In Drapcho w•as never in serious trouble as his teammates backed him with a first inning two-run lead, and then proceeded to score one in the fourth, two in the fifth and sixth, and two in the eighth. Penn scored their other tally in the fourth inning. The Lions scored in the first without a hit. Penn pitcher Tom Cohn hit a streak of wildness walking the first three Lions— Lou Schneider, Guy Tirabassi, and Bob McMullen. Stickler, batting cleanup, hit a sacrifice fly which brought in Schneider, and a mo ment later a Penn error brought Tirabassi scampering in with the second run. Score One in Third In the third inning Drapcho's double and singles by Schneider and Tirabassi accounted for the third run. The Lions needed only one hit in each of the fifth and sixth innings to score their four runs. Seki's homer was the only solid hit off Drapcho. His minor trouble was caused mostly by his four walks and three Nittany errors. Penn had four errors in the nine inning tilt. Lions Meet Army Tomorrow The Lions continue on their road trip tomorrow when they meet Army at West Point. Stan Larimer will be the starting pitch er for the Lions and will be seek ing his third victory of the season. He has lost only one game. The lineup will remain the same for the Army game with a possibility that John McMullen may start in rightfield in place of Dave Wat kins.

Adam Fuellhart led off Kiski's sixth with the first hit off Lion pitching. Breisch then went to the curve-ball to fan the next two batters, but not before Fuelihart had reached third via a stolen base and passed ball. With Breisch working on the third out, Fuell hart took advantage of Breisch's long wind-up and stole home. The Lions got the run back in their half of the inning when Hocking rolled out to first base unassisted to score Bob Hoover from third. Hoover led off the inning by reaching base when the Kiski catcher dropped a third strike. The freshmen go after their sec ond win tomorrow when they face Frostburg here at 3:30 p.m. THE DAILY COttEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Assistant Coach Joe Boyle called the Lion double win "one of the best team efforts we've ever had." Boyle considered the scores of the Nittany linksmen remarkable because the match was played in a strong crosswind that made play difficult. The wind was so strong that at times it moved the ball from where it rested on the ground. Kukkola Lion Medalist Trailing Kukkola, Lion medal ist, were Jim Mayes, Pat Rielly, and John Branish who scored 73's, Gus Gerhart who totaled 74, John Boyanowski with a 75 and Jim Ginsberg with a 76. Kukkola combined a 35 going out and a 36 corning in for his score. He lagged behind on one hole on the back nine, but birdied the 17th to make up for it. Mayes scored a three over par 37 on the front nine and a one over 36 on the back nine for his total. Rielly and Branish chalked up identical 38-35 combinations. Branish birdied the 17th and 18th holes, after falling behind earlier. Rielly also birdied the 17th. Fran Poore was the Quaker medalist, scoring a 76. Then came Lee Frankel and Al McQuistan with 78's. Frankel went nine over par on the disastrous front nine, but birdied the 10th, 17th, and 18th holes, for a par 35, on the way back. Medalist for the Villanova squad was its number one man Ben Klemenowicz. Klemenow•icz also served as coach of the Main line aggregation Saturday. He scored identical 39's for a total of 78 strokes. The scores indicate that while none of the golfers were able to break par on the front nine, the trick was turned five times on the back nine. The golfers were forced to hit into the teeth of a stiff wind going out, but the same wind helped their drives along on the way back.

Poore Scores 76 Moran, Blockson Win Relay Firsts; Baker Sets Record Freshman Ed Moran's two first places and Charlie Block son's first in the discus topped Penn State performances in Saturday's Ohio State Relays, which were highlighted by the spectacular showing of Thane Baker, U.S. Air Force.

The speedy former Kansas State star raced to a :9.3 victory in the 100-yard dash, equalling the world's record. However, he was running with an eight-mile an hour win at his back which pre vents his time from being re corded in the record book. Baker then proceeded to set a new record in the 300-yard dash with a :29.4 time. Since he was running both with and against the wind, his time was certified as a new world's mark. The Lion relay entries held their own by recording two sec onds and a fourth. The 440-yard relay entry—Dick Winston. Jim Norton, Bruce Austin, and Cap tain Art Pollard—finished second 'to Michigan. Shuttle-Hurdles Team 2nd Gary Seybert, Bob Findley, IWinston and Rod Perry teamed up to score a second in the shut tle-hurdles relay.
