Golfers, Netmen
Meet Bucknell
The Peim State golf team
will go after its moth victoiy
of the season at 1:30 this after
noon when it meets Bucknell
University on the University
Golf Course.
The Lions have won 13 suc
cessive dual meets with the 13i
sons since the series began in
3935. Bucknell has never beaten
the Nittanies in the interrupted
series.
Today's match is the next to the
last of the season for the Lions.
They will meet Pittsburgh in the
season's finale on Saturday.
Nittany coach Bob Rutherford
will go with the same lineup that
trounced Lehigh last Saturday.
That is Jim Mayes, Gus Gerhart,
Pat Rielly, John Branish, John
Fetus, and Lou Riggs.
Beaten Last Year, 9-0
The Bisons, who were beaten
9-0 in last year's match with the
Lions, have one of the best teams
in the school's history. The high
light of their season so far was
winning the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association championships a few
weeks ago.
The Bisons have four regulars
returning from last year's team,
which split even in 14 engage
ments. Heading the list is Cap-.
fain Don Attlee. Other returnees
are Bob Miller, Andy Horvat, and
Dave Doane.
All four played in last year's
match. Albee lost to John Boyan
ttwski 5 and 3, Miller lost to Jim
Ginsberg 3 and 2, Horvat was
beaten by Jim Mayes 4 and 2,
and Doane lost to Warren Gittlen
4 and 3.
Straub Biggest Loss
Pete Straub, the 1955 captain,
is Bucknell's biggest loss and an
other standout Jim Ladd, who
lost to Gus Gerhart 4 and 3, may
not be available because of schol
astic difficulties. Ken Bensen, the
only sophomore on the squad, is
anotlfer consistent winner for the
thundering herd.
Rutherford was impressed with
the work of sophs Felus and Riggs
against Lehigh, and is rewarding
them with a starting berth today.
Both shot excellent rounds of
golf—lelus posted a 72 and Riggs
a 73.
The two will also be in the
lineup for-the last game of the
year versus Pittsburgh. Ruther
ford disclosed yesterday that the
same team will finish out the
rest of the year.
3 Olympic Gymnasts
Armando Vega. at 20. and Karl
Schwenzfeier, at 22. will be the
two youngest members of Uncle
Sam's 1956 Olympic gymnastics
team. Their coach, Penn State's
Gene Wettstone, who also is
coach-elect of the Olympic team,
is 42.

DETROIT, May 22 itP}—Sec
ond-string catcher Red Wilson,
who had only six hits all season,
crashed a two-run home run in
the bottom of the ninth inning
today and gave the Detroit Ti
gers a 3-2 victory over the New
York Yankees and dealt south
paw Whitey Ford his first loss.
The dramatic clout which fol
lowed a lead-off double by Char
lie Maxwell broke six-game
streaks for both Ford and the
Yankees.
Frank Lary, who had lost three
one-run games and had only one
victory in six decisions, gained
the triumph in a tight duel with
the Yankee lefthander.
Lary restricted New York to
three harmless singles after a
first-inning uprising when th e
Bombers scored both their runs
on four hits.

home run, double and single, the

the battle for first place in the

Robinson put on a whale of a
show for a sparse crowd of 4194,
scoring two runs, driving in a
pair and handling five chances in
left field. The rookie outfielder's
feats made it possible for Joe
Nuxhall to register his first vic
tory of the year.

Team Closes
Lehigh Today
Today's second meeting of
the season with an improved
Bucknell team will be the acid
test for the Lion netmen, ac
cording to Coach Sherm Fogg.
The Bisons will be hosts
seeking to avenge their May I
1 5-4 defeat at the Nittany courts.
'Lacking their numbers one and
five men because of class work,
Bucknell fought to the last dou
bles match of the day before los
ing the taily.season meeting.
Today the Bucknell crew will
be led by their ace racquet man.
John Pulizzi, who defeated Ed
Seiling last year in two sets and
will be facing him again this after
noon.
The Lions have greatly im
proved since their first meeting,
according to Coach Sherm Fogg,
and he expects to widen the win
ning margin even with the added
strength on the opponent's team.
Pulizzi to Lead-Off
Since Pulizzi will be leading off
in the singles, Chuck Siede, who
beat Ed Seiling in the first match.
will be moved down to face Fred
Trust. Correspondingly, the en
tire Bison line-up will move back
one slot to form a much stronger
team than the Nittanies faced be
fore.
Fogg is banking on the improve
ment that he feels his team has
shown to score another victory.
According to Fogg, Lions Seiling,
Zuker, and Adler will bring en
tirely new games to their foes.
All three were losers on May I.
Seiling, who had trouble with
his serve, has shown winning
form lately and is expected to im
prove on the past performance
against his Bucknell opponent.
Zuker More Aggressive
Zuker lost. his match to Bison
Jim Stewart by playing a defen
sive backcourt game which he
hopes to improve with new ag
gressive tactics.
Adler has changed his early
season game entirely, from a
steady defensive game to smart
"head" tennis—an alternation be
tween lobs, baseline shots, and
net tactics that he displayed in
winning performances against
Juniata and West Virginia.
The Lions sport a 5-5 record
going into the match, Should they
win today it will be the first time
this year that the netters have
jumped to the winning side of the
ledger.
IM Track Opens

INTRAMURAL 100-yard dash finish with Joe Nock. Alpha CM
Sigma and Don Kistler. Alpha Sigma Phi coming in one-iwo. Both
speedsters were clocked at :10.8 for a sixth place tie in the qualifi
cations for Thursday's finals.
18 Track Entries
Qualify for Finals
Eighteen fraternity track entries qualified last night for
the Intramural track and field finals to be held Thursday. The
Independents held their finals last night in the 100-yard dash
and the 440-yard run with only six entries in the century and
four starters in the 440.
Buster Thomas, Alpha Phi Alpha, won the fraternity 100-
yard run with one of the best times in recent years. Thomas
was clocked in :10.2 seconds in the second heat.
The time is only three-tenths of
a second off the :09.9 record es
tablished by Larry Joe, Sigma
Nu, 1947.
Strauss Outstanding
Elmer Strauss, Phi Kappa Sig
ma, was the most outstanding run
ner in the trials. Strauss finished
in a tie for second in the century
with a :10.6 time and won the
440-yard run in 53.3 seconds.
Lloyd Hughes, Phi Kappa Al
pha, finished second behind Tho
mas in the second heat of the 100
with a 10.6 clocking and earned
a second place tie with Strauss
in the qualifications for Thurs
day's finals.
Tie for Fourth
Bill Paxton, Beta Theta Pi, had
a "gnats eyelash" edge over Al
Fine, Sigma Alpha Mu, in the
fourth heat, but both speedsters
were credited with :10.7 clockings
that tied them for a fourth place
qualifying time.
Four runners—Joe Nock, Al
pha Chi Sigma; Bob Kistler, Al
pha Sigma Phi; Bob Noah, Delta
Upsilon• and Fred Fricker, Phi
Kappa Tau—were tied for the last
position at :10.8 seconds.
_Greene Wins Indie 100
In the third heat of the frater
nity 440-yard dash, Strauss had
to stave off a crowd-pleasing
stretch drive by young Bill
Schwab, Phi Delta Theta. Strauss
had a six stride lead on the final
turn, but Schwab closed the gap
and ran astride Strauss for the
last ten difficult steps. But Strauss
stretched into the tape by the
smallest of margins for the win.
The winning heat and quali
fying time of :53.3 went to Strauss,
and Schwab was timed as :54.4,
good enough for second place.
Third in the 440 marathon run

half-stride separated the top

enough and Rathmell took it at
:58.5, Jack Christian was a half
step behind at :58.6, and Yingling
