Netmen Win 3rd Straight,
Rout Juniata Squad, 7-2
By TOM WERNER
Shorts, T-shirts, and goose pimples were the regulation garb when the Lion netmen de
feated a weak Juniata squad, 7-2, on the Beaver Field courts yesterday afternoon_
Playing in 45 degree weather, punctuated by momentary gusts of wind, the netters
had little trouble downing their opponents. The match was decided early when the Nit
tanies swept all six of the singles jousts, leaving Juniata to gather two consolation points,
in the doubles sets.
Number one Lion Ed Selling
evened his personal series with
Juniata's Phil Lankford at one all,
avenging last year's defeat, 6-2,
6-0.
In the first set Selling lost his
serve twice, once in each of his
losing games. Playing mostly
backcourt, he came to the net on
Lankford's weak shots and slam
med them out of his opponent's
reach. The Lion played a good
`head' game, taking advantage of
the wind and the Juniata man's
weaknesses.
Fred Trust, in the number
two position, downed Juniata's
Dan Raffensperger, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.
After letting the wind ruin his
drives in the first set, Trust
adjusted to conditions, playing
backcourt with the wind in his
face and driving shots into it.
After the first set Trust had
little trouble in chalking up the
victory.
Captain Chuck Christiansen de
feated • Bob Kaufman 6-3, 6-1,
without losing a serve in either
set. •
The winningest member of the
team, Dean Mullen, scored his
fifth straight victory of the year
when he humbled Don Randall.
6-2, 6-1. Mullen, using more strat
egy and 'head' play when the
weather forced discpntinuance of
his usual rushing net game, often
caught his opponent flat footed
at the net or in the center of the
court, looking at a passing drive.
Randall accompanied himself on
the raquet with appropriate
shouts and comments as the
steady N.i t t any hustled him
through two fast sets.
Juniata's Don Ruhl fell 'victim
to Doug Zuker, 6-0, 6-2. Zuker
played the net and missed few
shots in racking up his second
win of the season.

Lions to Host Pitt,
Buckeyes Saturday
The Penn State track team puts the finishing touches to its 1958
season Saturday afternoon at Beaver Field when it meets Ohio State
and Pittsburgh in a triangular encounter—the biggest home attrac
tion on the Lion card.
Both the Buckeyes and the Panthers possess fairly potent
squads, caoable of turning the meet into the closest competition
the Lions have entered alt season.
Ohio State has six returning lettermen to compose the nucleus
of this year's team while the Panther's are led by Arnie Sowell—
considered by many track experts to be the greatest middle dis
tance runner in the world—and sprinter Herb Carper.
Two-miler Lloyd Bartel, weightman Bob Webb, pole vaulter
and broad jumper Fletcher Gilders, high jumper Jack Keller, broad
jumper Norm Jackson, and middle distance runner Ed McArdle
are the top Ohio State contenders with sophomores Jack McClain
and Glenn Davis also rated highly.
Bartel and McClain are expected to furnish the Buckeye punch
in the two-mile and mile runs while McArdle is the best Ohio
State offers in the 440. McClain is also the top Buckeye entry in
the 880.
Webb will be Ohio State's biggest threat to the Lions' Charlie
Blocicson in the shot put and discus throw—the discus being his
best event. Bill Rush, sophomore weightman, is also expected to
give Webb a hand in the discus and shot.
Gilder's best event is the pole vault although he is capable
of giving a commendable account of himself in the broad jump.
However, Davis and Jackson are expected to do the bulk of the
Buckeye broad jumping. Davis is also the top Buckeye hurdler.
Words can not describe Sowell's value to the Panther squad.
Against Notre Dame last weekend. Sowell turned his efforts to
mile run for the first time in his career and beat the Irish's Bill
Squire—rated as one of the better collegiate milers—in 4:15.6.
He is expected to concentrate on the middle distances—the 440
and the 880—this week, however, since Wendall Harford and Jim
Moore give the Panther's a creditable mile entry.
Carper also turned in one of his better performances against
the Irish, winning the 100-yard dash in :09.8. He can also be counted
on to enter the 220-against Lion captain Art Pollard.
Dave Peays is the number two sprinter for the Panthers while
Paul Thrash will do most of the Pittsburgh hurdling. Peay's best
event is the 220—Thrash's the 220-yard low hurdles.
The weakest spot on the Panther contingent is the weight
events where it lacks anyone capable of matching throws with
Blockson and Webb. However, with Sowell probably running an
chor, its mile relay entry could prove to be tops in the meet.
When June rolls around
And you're homeward bound,
For the best smoke you've found—
Have a CAMEL!
—Man, -that

Ws a psychologiad fact: Pleasure

remember more people get
more pure pleasure from Camels
than from any other cigarette!
No other cigarette is so
rich-tasting, yet so mild!
