WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3.
Need-d: More
Righthanders
In Lion Outfield
(This is the last in a series of articles covering the positions on
the Penn State baseball team. Today: the outfielders.)
Wanted: one or two more righthand-hitting outfielders
for the 1957 season. Lion baseball mentor Joe Bedenk's only
major outfield problem is a shortage of regular righthanded
hitters.
Of the first five outfield
Watkins is a righthanded batter,
leaving the Lions weak in the
face of lefthanded pitching from
the opposition.
Captain Jim Lockerman and
junior John McMullen, both
lefthanded hitters, are almost
certainties to retain the start
ing posts they filled last year.
Lockerman will handle the cen
terfield chores with McMullen
in right.
Junior Ron Rainey, Sophomore
Doug Caldwell—two more left
handed clubbers and Watkins
will battle for the leftfield start
ing berth. Both Rainey and Wat
kins were substitutes last year,
Watkins seeing the most action
of the two. Caldwell was a start
er on the frosh team.
Realizing that his chief prob
lem is to find more righthanded
hitters for outfield duty. Bedenk
may shift a reserve infielder to
the outer pasture. John'Yeosock,
a third baseman by trade, played
both left and rightfield in Sat
urday's workout and did a cred
itable job.
Bedenk said that he may also
try Jack Michel, reserve second
baseman, and Wayne Breisch, re
serve shortstop, in the outfield.
Bedenk said that because of
the poor weather, he did not
know at the moment who
would be his starting t/eftfield
er when the Lions open their
season against Bucknell Sat
urday at Beaver Field. Last
Saturday was the only hard
Lion practice in the past week.
he said.
. Should the Bisons start a right
handed hurler Saturday, it ap
pears that Rainey will get the
starting call because of his edge
over Caldwell both at bat and de
fensively.
Watkins will most likely have
Ill"karning by doing" philosophy is basic at
Kearfott. As an assistant Project Engineer,
you ars given assignments in several
engineering laboratories to determine in
selhich, you can make your best contributions
'and finst your greatest satisfaction. Under the,,
guidance of senior engineers and specialists,
each Ina," takes his project through front
inception to fi i production, thus acquiring
s broad e background. Success
depends on individual initiative and

BEM
candidates, only junior Dave
the first shot at the post should
the Bisons open with a left
hander. However, he cannot be
considered a certainty—Bedenk
may do some shifting to add
more punch to the batting order.
Defensively, the Lion outfield
appears to be as strong as last
year. "They're all good ball
hawks . . . our biggest weakness
is throwing," Bedenk said.
The outfield does not figure
to be so strong at the plate as
it was last season, however,
due to the graduation of Bob
McMullen, John's brother. Mc-
Mullen was the Lions' top hit
ter last year with a .420 season
average. "He was a good college
ballplayer," Bedenk said. "He'll
Ile hard to replace."
However, both Lockerman
(.306) and John McMullen (.360)
should give the Lions a solid
punch at the plate. Watkins hit
.260 in the few games he played,
while Rainey went hitless in his
lone appearance.
Although Bedenk may be
forced to do a little "Casey Sten
geling" this season, hE thinks he'll
have another strong outfield con
tingent—he has the horses.

Hindered By
Rain, Cold
The Penn State varsity golf
team, which opens its 1957
season against Georgetown
Saturday on the home course,
has been battling the weath
er during recent practice ses
sions.
Head coach Joe Boyle has plan
ned a series of playoff matches to
fill the two vacant starting spots
on the seven-man team. However.
the pins have not yet been placed
on the greens, and the Lion men
tor is undecided on the schedule
of matches.
A quintet of veterans return
from last year, three of them sen
iors and a pair of juniors. John
Branish, captain, Leo Kukkola
and Johnny Boyanowski are back
for their final seasons of compe
tition. Juniors Pat Rielly and
John Felus- round out the list of
regulars.
Asked which of the five was
expected to be the Lions' stand
out, Boyle said, "It's hard to pick
between them; they are all pretty
good golfers."
"It looks like a well-balanced
team," he continued. "In fact, it
will be awfully tough to decide
the order in which I'll play them
in the matches."
Bob Bainbridge, Bill Davidson,
Nick Molloy and Don Barnhart
are battling for the remaining
two spots on the starting squad.
Bainbridge, a transfer from Ber
end Center, is a junior, while
Davidson, Molloy and Barnhart
are sophomores.
The Lions' Saturday engage
ment with the Georgetown club is
Penn State's earliest opening date
in history. The G-town linksmen
will open a day earlier, talking
on the Bullets of Gettysburg Fri
day.
