Army Belts Lions for 2d Loss
Drapcho Loses Ist, 3-1;
4-Hitter Hurt by 8 Walks
Penn State's baseball team was handed its second loss of the
season and southpaw ace Ed Drapcho suffered his first defeat of
the year yesterday when Army upset the Lions, 3-1, at West Point.
A disastrous second inning which saw the Cadets score two
runs was the margin of difference. Danny Butler led off the inning
with a single, and was sent to
second when Bob Durkin hit a
single to center. Mike Conrad
then walked loading the bases.
Drapcho then issued the second of
eight walks forcing in Butler, and
a moment later walked Dana
Mead to force in the second run.
The Lions had jumped to a
one run lead in the first in
ning when Lou Schneider led
off with a single and was sac
rificed to second by Guy Tira
bassi.
McMullen then banged a hit
sending Schneider to third, and
Don Stickler drove him in with
a sacrifice fly to center.
The Cadets scored their third
run in the third inning. Butler.
first man up, flied to left fielder
Dave Watkins who dropped the
ball putting Butler on second.
Conrad then hit a sharp grounder
to Tirabassi who let the ball go
between his legs scoring Butler.
The Lions threatened in the
fourth, seventh, eighth. and ninth
innings but were unable to hit in
the clutch.
In the fourth after one was out,
McMullen tingled and the next
batter. Stickler, walked. But Jim
Lockerman and Steve Bai d y
struck out to end the inning.
The Lions had two men on
in the seventh but Gary Miler
popped out and Drapcho fanned
ending that threat. In the ninth
inning Bai d v keeping the
Lions' hopes alive, doubled to
lead off, Watkins walked but
was picked off trying to steal
second. Miller then flied out.
end Drapcho ended the game
when he grounded pitcher to
first for the third out.
The Nittanies committed five
errors while the Cadets made
three. But almost all of the Lion
errors came at opportune times
for Army.
Drapcho, besides giving up
eight• walks, fanned four and al
lowed only two earned runs,
which brings his total earned runs
in 41 innings to three.
Army pitcher Gene Fishe r
struck out seven Lions and walked
only four.
The Lions although committing
five errors also came up with
sparkling defensive plays. In the
first inning Army loaded the
bases with nobody out. The next
batter sent a screarni::g liner down
the third baseline which was
knocked down by Baidy, picked
up, and fired into home to catch
the runner at the plate.
Arrny's next hitter then hit
a hard grounder back to Drop
oho who fired into home to act
the second out and Stickler
rifled it to first to complete the
double play.
The Lions play Temple tomor
row at Beaver Field and Saturday
they meet Colgate for their sec
ond home tilt of the weekend.

Frostburg
Nine Beats
Frosh, 6-2
By EARL KOHNFELDER
Frostburg Teachers College
pounded out three sixth-inning
runs indecisive fashion to salt
away a 6-2 verdict over the Penn
State freshmen yesterday at Bea
ver Field.
Lefthander Marlin Stover was
the victim of the sudden on
slaught in which Frostburg hurler
Moose Arhone helped his own
cause with a run-producing dou
ble to left.
Frostburg opened the scoring
with a trio of runs in the second
inning. 'Leftfielder Arch Lennox
contributed a two-run single to
right-center after two walks and
an error had set things up.
Lions Get 3 Hits
The Lion yearlings could only
solve Arhone offerings for three
hits. The first, a solid belt to right
by Stover: loaded the bases in
the Lions' half of the second.
Frank Hocking then drew his sec
ond walk of the game to force in
Don Meyer.
Lion third-sacker John Yeosock
opened the third with a line dou
ble down the left field line. Bob
Hoover and Meyer walked to fill
the bases. After Carl Royer forced
Yeosock at the plate on a bouncer
to the mound, Hoover tallied on
a passed ball.
Stover could retire just one man
in the sixth as Frostburg began
to meet the ball with authority.
Arhone's single and Dorcil Kline's
two-run base knock sent Stover
to the showers in favor of Winston
Sandler.
Stover' Allows 7 Hits
In five and one-third innings,
Stover allowed seven hits, fanned
six, and walked four. Sandler put
out the fire in the sixth, striking
out one and walking one in the
process. Cal Emery pitched the
seventh, striking out two.
Hoover led. off the State sixth
with a single to left and advanced
to second on a passed ball with
Meyer at bat. An attempted pick
off throw from the Frostburg
catcher hit Hoover in the leg.
forcing him to leave the - game.
Yeosock provided the sparse
I crowd with a thrill in the fourth
(when he back-handed a drive
along the third-base line by Bren
del Long and threw him out by
several strides. .

Lacrosse Play Similar
To Basketball, Hockey
By LOUIE PRATO
(This is the second of two articles to acquaint Penn State sports
fans with the game of lacrosse prior to Saturday's 1956 home
opener of the Lion lacrosse team.)
Football plus basketball, multiplied by hockey equals lacrosse.
This, in short, is the game of lacrosse; for in some way or other
lacrosse touches upon the action of the gridiron, the basketball
court, and the hockey arena.
Much of the equipment worn by the lacrosse player resembles
that of a football or hockey aspirant. His headgear is similiar to one
used on the gridiron except that every helmet is equipped with a
face guard. Football spikes are included in the footwear and the
jersey worn is similar to football or- hockey attire.
A lacrosseman also wears a heavy pair of gloves. These are in
comparison with the • gloves worn in hockey. In addition to the
above equipment, the goal-keeper adds standard baseball shin
guards and a chest protector to his dress.
As in hockey, specially made sticks are the primary weapons.
Four different makes of sticks are used, but each stick is similar
in that they are built along the same lines. That is; a wooden handle
with a wooden throng with a net at the end.
Attacking players use small sticks which enable them to make
quick short passes. Defensive men possess longer sticks so that they
may block shots and intercept passes, and midfielders—because
they play both defensive and offensive—use a stick that is medium
in size. Goalies have their own stick—one with a large net to
intercept attempted goals.
The ball used in lacrosse is made of India sponge rubber and
can be held very easily in the palm of the hand.
The length of a game is sixty minutes—four quarters of 15
minutes each. A one-minute break is provided at the end of the
first and third quarters and a 10-minute interval is set between
the second and third periods.
The players lineup, at the beginning of the game in the follow
ing fashion: one midfielder at the center of the field, the other
two in the wing areas; the attackmen in their opponents' goal area
and the defensive men and goalie in the defensive goal area.
Play is started by a faceoff. This is done in the middle of the
field by the opposing midfielders. The faceoff is also used to put
the ball in play after a goal has been scored.
The offensive and defensive tactics of the game resemble that
of football and basketball. Blocking is allowed although unnecessary
roughness would result in a penalty.
A zone or man-to-man defense is used with screening and
weaving making up part of the offensive strategy.
Any further explanation of the rules would be unnecessary
land complicating to the sports fan.
