TUESDAY. MAY 1. 1956
Golfing I'Mudciers' Win E.
By JOE CHEDDAR
Playing on a course so mud
dy that the ball often sank
from sight on landing, the
Penn State golf team romped
to its fifth victory of the sea
son Saturday, outpointing the
Cornell University squad, 6-1.
The linksmen slogged- through
the mire in grand fashion, threat
ening to shut out the Big Red,
but Cornell's number seven man,
Steve Klein, pinned a loss on
Johnny Boyanowski to avert the
shutout.
The Lions followed their usual
policy of presenting a different
medalist each match as Gus Ger
hart posted the low score-74.

The match also served as a
tuneup for the Eastern Inter-

6-5 in Overtime Session
By LOUIE PRATO
"We must not be a hot weather team." That was Coach Nick Thiel's verbal comment
after the Lion lacrosse en had dropped their 1956 home opener Saturday afternoon to Col
gate, 6-5, in overtime.
It was the third ioss in e
1950's that a Thiel-coached ter
Despite the sluggish pla
spot in the lineup. Sophomore
scoring leader Bill Hess tied the
season scoring record of 24 goals
set in 1954 by Al Fulton when he
whipped the ball past goalie El
liot Case at 10:37 of the third per
iod. The goal came on Hess' sev
enth attempt and gave the Lions
a 4-3 lead at the time.
Lydecker, Case Pace Win
Junior attackman Doane Ly
decker and goalie Elliott Case
were the heroes in the Red Raider
win. Lydecker tallied the game
winning sixth point in the first
five minute overtime period while
the 300-pound Case stopped many
would-be Lion shots from reach
ing the goal.
Lydecker's score was more of a
feat than most of the 200 specta
tors realized, for it came with
less than a second remaining in
the first overtime period.
• Case's physical makeup played
a major part in his defensive play.
Many of the shots attempted by
the Nittanies might have pierced
the defensive maneuvers of a
small goal tender, but not the
monstrous Case. He was credited
with nine • saves. four of them
coming in the final period and
two in the overtime fiasco.
-Score Deadlocked. 5-5
The score was tied at the end of
the regulation time, 5-5. Under
national lacrosse rules two ,extra
five • minute periods might be
played to determine a winner.
Neither team could find the
range of their opponents goal un
til Lydecker reached the mark in
the waning moments of the per
iod. The goal was even more
heartbreaking to Coach Thiel for

Frosh Lacrosse Team
Loses 2d Straight, 6-1
Colgate's freshman lacrossemen
handed the Lions their second loss
of the season Saturday morning
in the home opener, 6-1.
- Colgate slipped the first shot
past goalie Jim Mullen at 1:10
of the first period, and although
the Red Raiders were continually
in control of the ball, Mullen
stopped the visitors from scoring
for the next 20 minutes by mak
ing 21 straight saves.
While Mullen was warding off
the Colgate attack, Al Markus
tied the score at 7:30 with the first
goal of his career.
But Mullen could not with
stand the Colgate attack alone
and his inexperienced defense
men were no help.
In the second period at 21:40,
Colgate started on a scoring spree
that netted three scores in the
space of two and a half minutes,
and 43 seconds before the half
ended, added another for a 5-1
lead.
Mullen, assisted by Mike Beat
ty, blanked the Colgate stickmen
in the third frame. but allowed
the 6th goal in the final quarter.

The Lion tennis team will face the Bucknell netmen at
3 p.m. today on the Beaver Field courts.
This time last year the Nittanies were in the same position

rains came and washed out the match

Russell, Heinsohn
Picked by Celtics
In NBA 'Robbery'
NEW YORK, April 30 (rl")—The
Boston Celtics hit an All-Ameri
ca jackpot; Bill Russell, the all
everything boy of the 1955-56 col
lege season, was made third
choice and the Philadelphia War
riors pulled out the name of Bevo
Francis as the National Basket
ball Association staged its annual
draft of college talent today.
The Celtics, who traded away
one of their top performers and
gate attractions, Easy Ed Macau
ley, yesterday, wound up with
two 1956 AU-America players and
one member of the second All-
America team.
It worked this way. The Celtics
yielded their regular first-round
choice in order to make a "terri•
torial" selection of Torn Heinsohn.
6-foot-7 Holy Cross captain.
The Rochester Royals had first
pick in the regular rounds of
drafting and chose Duquesne's
spring-legged Sihugo Green in
stead of Russell. St. Louis picked
Russell next and handed him over
to the Celtics as a part of the
Macauley deal. Boston's third
choice was Casey Jones of San
Francisco.
Completing the first round
picks, the Minneapolis Laker.;
settled for 6-6 Jim Paxson of Day
ton; the New York Knicks select•
ed tall Ron Shavlik of North Car
olina State and picked DePaul's
back court star, Ron Sobieszczyk:
