was captain Bob McMullen with three hits in four trips to
the plate. Catcher Don Stickler banged a home run and Steve
Baidy and Dave Watkins each had two hits Watkins drove in

nine innings. lie allowed the 13i
eons only three hits and two

By FRAN FANUCCI, Sports Edittor
'QUANTICO QUOTES:
Tom Rosandich, 23-year-old Quantico track coach, smiled
;a little and in his colorful way gave me his opinion of his
,star pupil and the most controversial sports figure of the
!year—Wes Santee.
t "He's a champion. I never had any trouble with him.
,Sure people think he's cocky, but it's not the cockiness they're
'thinking about. He has confidence in himself, he knows him
self, and he knows track. As far as I can see he is well liked
lby everyone on the team."
And Rosandich's last statement
was verified by other members of
the squad. Most of their state
ments were synonomous, but the
gist of all of them was that Santee
had confidence and not cockiness;
he seemed to be well-liked by all
his teammates, who repeatedly
lashed out at the Amateur Athlet
ic Union for the "raw deal" it
gave Santee.
No one denied that Santee re
ceived excessive expense money.
but their usual interjection dur
ing the conversation was that
every other amateur who is any
kind of public figure receives
money, too.
But I still think that two
wrongs don't make a right.
Somebody was bound to be
nailed by the AAU sooner or
later to be made an example of,
and it just happened to be San
tee. I guess he'll have to keep
his Lincoln automobile for a
few years now, unless, of course.
. he turns professional.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Hess Highly Touted in Lacrosse
Although he is only in his
,first year of intercollegiate
i lacrosse competition, sopho
more Bill Hess is being touted
as one of the best lacrosse
players ever to don a Nittany
(Lion uniform.
The 20-year-old Hess re-wrote
the Penn State record books at
Hobart University Friday after
'noon when he cracked tile in
dividual record for goals scored
l in one season. He added two more
.the following day against Syra-
vice deferment and he was draft
ed. Before induction, though, Cul
breath decided to join the Ma
rines, and so as he put it "here
I am."
He said that it will take him
'approximately three weeks to get
into top running condition and
then he intends to stress his train
ing so that when the Olympics
roll around "I'll be at my best."
Sport Stars were in abundance
at the Saturday meet. The Quan
tico discus thrower. Frank Morze,
was the second draft choice of the
San Francisco 49ers in the Pro-
fescional Football Conference.
The 6-4. 285 pound center
starred at Boston College and
was one of the linemen in last
year's All-Star football game in
Chicago.
Asked to explain the differ
ence he noted between college
and professional players. Morze
said there's only one—"they're
awfully smart and know all the
tricks."'
He expects to ioin the 49ers in
the summer of '57, but intends to
'play some service ball and stay
with the track team to keep him
m shape.
An interesting spectator at the
Blue-White football game and the
track team was Fran Rogel, full
back for the Pittsburgh Steelers
and former Lion All-American.
Rogel said that he still has a year
or tw•o left in him and after he
retires he'll devote his time to his
farm and his deputy sheriff's job.

By LOUIE PRATO
cuse to run his ten-game total to
28.
The old record of 24 goals was
held jointly by Al Fulton and
Hess himself. Fulton accomplished
his feat in the 1954 season while
Hess equalled the mark two weeks
ago against Colgate University.
Fulton played in only nine
games during his record-breaking
year but that does not dim Hess'
accomplishment for any reason.
Hess tied the mark in his eighth
game and broke it in his ninth.
His biggest scoring outburst
was against Hofstra at the Hofstra
tournament over the Easter va
cation. He scored five goals
against the Flying Dutchmen and
recorded a total of 14 goals for
the whole tournament.
Hess' efforts are not only limit
ed to scoring. A fine playmaker
who sets up many goals for his
teammates. Hess leads the Lions
in assists with 18.
He also is a candidate for the
Nittany Lion football team. He
missed spring practice this year
because of lacrosse but the speedy
halfback plans to be back out for
the sport in the fall.

WEDNESDAY. MAY 9. 1956
Hess hails from Manhassett,
New York, a small community in
the middle of a high school la
crosse "hotbed." He was a three
sport athlete in his prep school
days. competing in football, la
crosse, and track and field, but
it was lacrosse that brought him
the most honors.
He earned four varsity lacrosse
letters and was named to the lea
gue all star team two years in a
row. In his senior year Hess led
the league in scoring with 37
goals, was voted the outstanding
player in the league, and was
named to a first team berth on
the All-American high school
team.
One of his teammates at Man
hasset was Syracuse's star athlete,
Jimmy Brown. Hess played three
years of lacrosse and football with
the versatile Brown.
Three of Hess' present team
mates were "enemies" in his high
school days. Lou Girard and John
Steinmuller played with Manhas
set's arch-rival Sewanhaka, while
Captain Bob Hamel was at Mine
ola—a league opponent of Man
hasset.
