McMullen, runnerup in last

Lion Golf Team
Possible Entry
In NCAA Tourney
With a possible entry in the
Nationals pending on the out
icome, the Penn State golf
team faces Pittsburgh at 1:30
today in search of its ninth
!win of the season.
Coach Bob Rutherford an
.nounced just before the squad left
for Pittsburgh yesterday that if
This team won, and looked impres
'sive enough, he would ask per
mission to enter the NCAA Tour
nament, being held the latter part
of June at Ohio State University.
The final decision is up to the
Administration of course, but this
year seems to present the best op
portunity for entry than anytime
since 7948.
Stanford 1955 Champ
Last year Stanford won the
tourney, shooting 578 strokes. The
609 strokes taken by the Lions
in the Eastern Tourney would
place them no better than 16th
or 17th. Individual players are
apt to be lost, too, among 350
golfers—only 64 of which qualify
for the Individual Championship.
Rutherford said yesterday that
"this tourney is even tougher than
the U.S. Amateur. In this one the
players are younger and can stick
it out longer."
Would Limit Squad
If the Nittanies do enter a
squad, they would probably limit
it to four or five men, according
to Rutherford. That presents an
other problem—selecting the best
four men.
Pittsburgh—the immediate
problem for the linksmen—has a
seasonal record of six wins and
four losses. By far the best Pan
ther showing of the year was in
the Eastern Tourney where they
finished in a tie for fifth place.
Rielly Leads Panthers
The Panthers are led by Bill
Rielly, brother of the Lions' Pat.
and Ken Fisher, who was PIAA
champion in 1953. Other letter
men are Dick Ryabik, Gordie Se
gal, and Jim Garber.
Rielly led the Pitt squad in the
Easterns. He qualified for the In
dividual Championship, and ad
vanced to the second round be
fore being beaten.
Stickmen
Penn-Del
For the second stright year Penn State's lacrosse team has been
declared the champion of the Pennsylvania-Delaware Lacrosse
League
The Lions, who own a 7-6 record, earned the honor on the
he eight league members—Penn-
basis of victories over three of
sylvania, Lehigh, and Swarth
more.
In addition, eight of the ten
Nittany starters were named to
positions of the Pen-Del All-Star
team. Seniors Bob Hamel and
Bob Bullock and sophomore Bill
Hess won first team berths; senior
Andy Bergeson and juniors Lou
Girard and Jim Houck copped
second team slots; and senior Wil
lard Snell and junior John Stein
muller received honorable men
tion posts.
The Penn-Del League is an
informal association composed
of colleges in Pennsylvania and
Delaware. No trophy or award
is presented to the loop cham
pion although a picture of the
champ and a summary of its
season is placed in the NCAA
Lacrosse Guide the official
college lacrosse record book.
The selection of Hamel to a
first team attack berth marked
the second successive year that
he has received the honor. The
Nittany captain also made the
Penn-Del team in his sophomore
year as a honorable mention
choice.
Bullock is another repealer
from the 1955 All-League team.
The Lion defensive ace held a
honorable mention slot last
year.
Hamel and Bullock received
another honor yesterday - when
Coach Howard Myers of Hofstra
College announced that the two
senior stalwarts had been select

Lions Finish
Season Today
With the Pen-Del champion
ship in hand and a 7-6 record
behind them, the Nittany Lion
stickmen close their 1956 season
this afternoon against Cornell on
the lower end of the golf course.
Faceoff will be at 3:30.
The game was originally sched
uled for Beaver Field but it had
to be shifted to the golf course
site in order that the Beaver
Field maintenance crew would
have time to prepare for the
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Ath
letic Association's state track
finals, being held tomorrow.
Cornell's stickmen come here
with the hope of making the
Lion lacrossemen their second
victim from keystone state. Last
week, the New Yorkers walked
to an easy 18-2 win over the
University of Pennsylvania.
According to Coach Nick Thiel,
Cornell has won at least four
games. It is also, known that the
Big Red has lost four, but the
Lion mentor doesn't have the
results of three games—Colgate,
Princeton, and Syracuse.
Northern team for the annual
North-South Lacrosse All-Star
game—comparable to footbalrs
East-West Shrine game.
