PAGE StX Perry to Enter Quantico Meet Strengthened by the return of hurdler Rod Perry, the Penn State track team is running through its final practice sessions in preparation for its first home meet of the season against the Quan- Ike Marines at 1 p.m.*tomorrow on the Beaver Field cinders. Wes Santee, former Kansas great under suspension by the AAU, may accompany the Marine squad here. However, he will definitely not run as a competitor in the meet Perry. who spent most of last week recuperating from a charlie horse obtained in the Ohio State Relays. returned to practice this week in an effort to get back into the best possible condition for the Leatherneck encounter. Judging from the Marine roster, he may need all the practice he can get. Quantico's hurdlers are headed by Joss Culbreath, former Morgan State star who is con sidered by most track experts as the United State's top man in the 440-meter hurdles—an Olympic event. Wins AAU 440 Hurdles Culbreath won the 440-hurdles in the National AAU Champion ships last season in :52.0. He was also 440-meter hurdlers cham pion in last year's Penn Relays. The rest of the Lion squad, with the exception of Gary Seybert, was pronounced by Coach Chick Werner as in the best shape it has probably been in all season. Seybert, hampered by a charlie horse in his left leg all year, has entered most of the Lions' meets, despite the injury. However, his status for the Quantico tussle is still in doubt. Distance man Don Mowry, suf fering from a foot ailment, has returned to the Lion practice ses sions despite the fact that he prob ably will not run in Saturday's meet. Mowry has been out of ac tion since the Navy meet, April 14. Moorhead fo Face Taylor • Miler Doug Moorhead is ex pected to face keen competition in the presence of Bill Taylor, former Southern Cal standout. Taylor is noted for the role he played in pacing Wes Santee dur ing the indoor season. Charlie Blockson, veteran Lion weightman, is also expected to face stern opposition, coming up against the Marines' Fred Stark, star discus thrower. Blockson has hit over the 155- foot mark this season while Stark, topphig the Leatherneck weight men who are considered to be one of the strangest entries on the squad, holds the Marine discus record with a 154'1 1 / 2 " heave.

PENNSYLVANIA Rutgers Nine Here Tomorrow By FRAN FANUCCI George Case, one of the greatest base runners to ever don spikes in the Major Leagues, brings his Rutgers baseball team to Beaver Field tomorrow to meet the Nittany Lions in what could be a preview of the District 2 playoffs. Both the Lions and the Scarlet appear frequently in the pOst-season playoff games, and this year the Lions, with an 8-2 record, and the Scarlet, a perennial powerhouse, could 'be possible opponents. In tomorrow's game Rutgers will be facing one of the top pit chers in the East in Ed Drapcho. This combined with the fact that Rutgers always plays poor on the road can spell more trouble for Case than he may anticipate. The Scarlet nine shapes up as a good pitching, good fielding, and only fair offensive club. In the last two seasons it has hit under .225, which is indicative of this year's club because of the ab sence of only two players from the '55 team. The home field factor is ex pected to play an important role in Rutgers bid for District 2 honors. Last yeas the Scarlet in 12 home games had an 8-4 rec ord, but on the road they were able to garner only one win in eight outings. Case has problems in the infield, mainly hitting. Junior John Brug ler, who can play second or third, is the leading hitter with a .313 mark. The rest of the infield is unsettled. Frank Going, a fair de fensive player, hit only .087 last year. Bert Miles, normally an out fielder, may have to switch to Go ing's first base spot to strengthen the hitting. At second base Ron Berga mesca. veteran of two years. is the top man, and at shortstop either Al Nicholas or Bill Whit acre will get the nod. Whitacre may move to the outfield, be cause of Nicholas' hitting. Bill Gatyas. a Iwo-year vet- Red Sox, KC, Pirates Win; Mantle Hits 7th NEW YORK, May 3 (ff)—Enos Slaughter, still dangerous at 40, doubled and scored the winning run on Harry Simpson's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning today as Kansas City outslugged the New York Yankees 8-7 in their first meeting of the season. Joe Ginsberg hit a two-run homer for the A's in the five run second inning and Mickey Mantle hit his seventh. Hank Bauer his fourth and Yogi Ber ra his fifth for the Yanks. Bauer and Berra each hit into the stands with one man on in the fifth. BOSTON, May 3 (!P)—Red Sox righthander Frank Sullivan got two-run homers from Dick Ger nert and rookie Frank Malzone to support his six-hitter today as he pitched Boston to a 5-2 victory over Detroit. The 6-foot, 7-inch Sully look ed like he would contribute the second consecutive shutout for the Sox hurling staff until Earl Torgeson crashed a two-run home run in the eighth inning. CINCINNATI, May 3 (') Home runs by Dale Long and Frank Thomas. combined with five-hit pitching by Bob Friend, gave Pittsburgh a 5 to 1 victory today over the Cincinnati Red legs, ending the local club's six game winning streak. Friend, who racked up his third success against one loss this sea son, did not allow a hit until the sixth inning. )11:1:11:1 4:30-7:30 DISTINCTIVE ...
