WEDNESDAY. MAY 2. 1956
Penn State Baseballers
eattlk Bucknell Here;
Golfers Host Syracuse
A veteran Bucknell team visits Beaver
Field at 3:30 p.m. today to play the Nittany
Lion baseball team in the first game of a
two-game series. The Bisons' top pitcher, Don
Richards, is the probable mound choice
against the Lions.
The Lions meet Buckneil Tuesday at Lewis
burg.
Bison Coach Bill Kane has veterans at al
most every position. 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.
The rest of the lineup will
have • Gary Miller at first, Lou
Schneider at second, Steve Baidy
at third. Don Stickler. catcher,
Bob McMullen in leftfield, Jim
Lockerman in center, and Jack
McMullen in right.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
For the first time since 1947 the Penn State
golf team will meet the Syracuse linksmen
when the two teams tee off at 1 p.m. today on
the University golf course.
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.
Branish remains the only un
beaten on the squad after his win
lat Colgate. The hard-hitting jun
ior has won 10 matches in suc
cession. Rielly, Gerhart and Kuk
kola have lost once and Mayes
and Ginsberg twice.

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.
Southpaw Ford racked up his third straight mound vic
tory, allowing seven hits and blanking the -Tigers until the
seventh inning, when he already
had the game well in hand. 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.
It really was a distressing game
for the Tigers, who contributed
two painful errors to a foUr-run
l aming that just about wrapped it
up for the Yankees in the fourth.
But 6771 Yankee fans found it
delightful.

Win, 9-2;
Bosox, 3-2
BOSTON, May 1 OP)--The Kan
sas City Athletics whipped the
Boston Red Sox 3-2 today, scor
ing the winning run on a suicide
squeeze that fooled the defense.
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.
