His only losses from the '55 team, outside of the mound, staff, are rightfielder Jack Sisto, who was the club's leading hitter,l and second baseman and captain' George Klauder. Righthanders Jack Flurer, Tom King, and Keith Tucker are gone from the pitching corps, although Flurer was the' only one to show any effective ness Richards is the backbone of the hurling staff and is regard ed by Lane as "the best major league prospect I've ever coached." In 1955 he struck out 140 batters and posted a 1.30 earned run average hesiies completing 10 games and toss ing two shutouts. Richards' battery partner will be captain Rich McFarland, who is an occasional long ball hitter and good defensive catcher. At first base Lane can call on Bob Whitehead or Terry Fetter man. Whitehead can also cover third base or move to the outfield, if needed. At second, shortstop, and third Lane will have Bruce Workma,n, Gene Zartman, and Jim Hummel, in that order. Other possible lineup inser tions are Jackie Brothers at shortstop and Larry Dempsey at third or in the outfield. Chuck Sneath. who was the regular centerfielder last year. Don Wain. and Bill Burns make up the outfield trio. Sneath is a sure starter mainly because of his fine hitting and defensive ability. The Lions will have the same lineup against the B isons, . with the exception of shortstop, as they fielded against Colgate Saturday. Guy Tirabassi, who missed the Colgate encounter because of a dental examination, will be back at his old shortstop spot today. On the mound for the Lions will be Stan Larimer, unless his hand injury isn't healed suffi ciently. If Larimer is unable to pitch Coach Joe Bedenk can call on righthanders Ron Smith or Bill Burcin or lefthander Stan Szymanski.

Today's action is the sixth revival of the off-and-on-series that began in 1926. The Nit tany linksmen hold a 3-2 edge in the five games played. Lou Riggs will be in the Nittany lineup for today's match with the Orange, replacing Johnny Boyanowski. Following the usual custom of choosing the team on an elimination basis, Nit tany coach Bob Rutherford had Boyanowski play against Johnny Felus and Riggs for the seventh spot. Riggs won out in the 36-hole playoff, gaining the starting role. Riggs was a regular on the Lion squad a few years ago be fore entering the armed 'ser vices. He had been counted on for heavy duty at the beginning of the season, but tomorrow's start will be his first of the year. Boyanowski was beaten in his last start at Cornell, but has shown earlier that he is a compe tent golfer. Before the Cornell match he had lost only one match this year. For the Lions, today's match is their last action before the East ern championships at Cornell, May 12-14. The Lions have been pointing toward the Eastern.; this year, and seem to have their best Ropportunity in years. Last year they finished fourth in a field of 16 teams. With the exception of Riggs, the Lions will use the same lineup as for the five previous matches this year. Jim Mayes or Pat Rielly will play in the number one position, followed by John Branish, Leo Kukhola, Gus Gerhart, and Jim Ginsberg.

Allen St. Yankees KC Nips NEW YORK, May 1 (4)--Whitey Ford celebrated May Day by turning in a steady pitching performance today and the Yankee batters forced the Detroit Tigers to sound a dis tress signal as they hammered out a 9-2 victory.

Mick ey Mantle started things off with his fifth home run of the season and Hank Bauer blasted his third among eleven Yankee hits off four Detroit pitchers.

Joe DeMaestri laid down the deft bunt in the eighth inning as Jim Finigan raced home, sliding across the plate before relief pitcher Dave Sisler or first base man Mickey Vernon could pick up the ball. DeMaestri was safe at first which was uncovered. The first run of that inning, which knotted the score 2-2 was scored on the daring of Mike Saxes, running for Gus Zernial who had opened the inning by walking. Baxes moved to second on an infield out and then raced all the way home when 7inigan shot a grounder into center. Starting pitcher Bob Porterfield just missed the ball which bounc ed over the diving Don Buddin and out, of reach of Billy Good man. Jimmy Piersall came in fast to grab it but Baxes beat his throw. Sisler here replaced Porterfield who had pitched hitless ball over the first five innings. Joe Ginsberg rapped him for a single to right which moved Pin igan to third, setting up the squeeze.
