Davis-Led Ohio State
By LOU PRATO
Track enthusiasts will find coach, and Dick Fury has already
£ rare treat in store if they hie^_, J , u^p c c ‘ d _..^ T s ’ a!lhoueh he
pay a visit to the Beavei Field Dick Pavne is a better than
track this afternoon. * * *
They will not only see a re
cent Olympic champion in the
presence of Ohio State’s 400 met
er hurdle record holder Glenn
Davis, but they will also ba Wit
nessing one of the best track
teams in the midwest, according
to Lion Coach Chick Werner.
The field events open the dual
engagement the first of two
home meets for the 1957 Lions
—at 1 p.m„ with the running
events ready to start at 1:30.
Ohio State is perennially
emong the top in Big Ten con
ference track competition—one of
the toughest in the country—and
this year is no different.
Coach Larry Snyder’s talented
Buckeyes are favored to cop the
Big ten outdoor championships
this season. The Ohio school
missed winning the indoor loop
crown when its mile relay team
was disqualified because one of
the runners had drifted out of
his natural running lane.
Besides Davis, who is only a
junior, the Buckeyes are loaded
with several other men of "cham
pionship calibre.

Lion Basebaliers Meet Hoyas
In Beaver Field Doubleheader
“We 11 rifn out the string as long as it lasts,” Coach Joe Bedenk said when he an
nounced that he will start southpaw aces Cal Emery and Ed Drapcho in today’s double
header with Georgetown at Beaver Field.
Game time is set for 1:30 p.m.
Believing in using his best whenever possible, Bedenk will pitch Emery (3-0) in the
first game and counter with Drapcho (2-0) in the second. Both hurlers have almost evenly
divided the Lion pitching chores
thus far—Emery has thrown 23
innings and Drapcho 22.
Relief Will Be Ready
The Lion mentor will keep
righthanders Ron Smith and Ron
Riesc in reserve in the first game.
Lynn Harbold, another righty,
and Dave Simmers, a lefty, will]
relieve if necessary in the second
game.
The remainder of Bedenk’s
lineup and batting order will be
the same as that he has used
since opening day: Steve' Baidy,
3b; Bob Hoover, 2b; Captain Jim
Lockerman, cf; Don Stickler, c;
John McMullen, rf; Guy Tira
bassi, ss: either Ron Rainey or
Dave Watkins, depending on the
Georgetown pitching, If; and
Gary Miller, lb.
The Georgetown lineup was not
known at the time of publication.
However, Coach' Bedenk looks
towards the opposition with a
wary eye
Hoyas Better This Year
Despite a couple of close losses
this season, the Hoyas are re
ported to have a better team this
vear than they had last season,
bedenk said.
"I’m afraid of every club be
cause they’re liable to break loose
at anytime,” he said. “You can
never tell what's going to happen
in baseball.”
Bedenk expressed a slight con
cern over his club’s week’s lay
off from competition—the Lions’
last game was a 2-1 winning ef
fort at Lafayette last Saturday.
He said the club held several
good practice sessions during the
past week but nothing can take
the place of actual competition.
Looking at his club from an 1
over-all angle, Bedenk said that
his defense is improving a little;
because of added infield practice.

Frosh Baseball, Lacrosse
Seasons to Open Today
Two Lion freshman sports—
baseball and lacrosse—open their
! short spring seasons away today.
Lacrosse Coach John McHugh’s
frosh stickmen will travel with
the varsity to Colgate today to
meet the Big Red yearlings.
Freshmen lacrosse teams are
inexperienced clubs,
and McHugh expects to have a
tough time polishing the frosh in
to a well-balanced club in their
short three-game schedule—all
away games. Only Bob Swanson,
jJim Kane, Kevin Crowe and Bob
Manurs have previous lacrosse
experience.
The freshman baseball team
will leave State College this morn
ning for Saltsburg, Pa., where
Coach John Egli’s charges will
play Kiski Prep.
Egli will be on hand to watch
this- one but will leave May 15
for Puerto Rico to coach the!
Mayaguez basketball team in the]
Puerto Rican League this sum
mer.
In Egli’s absence,. Assistant
Coach Bill Speith will take over
i the helm and guide the squad
through the remainder of its five
game schedule.
Egli said that the pitching staff
is one of the "strongest he has
seen in years. The nucleus is
built around Bob Arner, Fred
This trick's on you!
A , of water over the door is one of the risks
of April Fool’s Day. But being tricked on other days
is something else again.
%t that 8 what happens as far as your taxes are
concerned. Part of your taxes are used to help pay
the cost of electric service for customers of federal
government power systems.
First, your taxes help build the federal power
plants that produce electricity for these people. Then,
you have to be taxed more because they don’t pay all
the taxes in their electric bills that you pay in yours.
People who get electricity from the TVA, for example,
pay less than one-fijtk of the taxes on electric service
that you pay.
J\ext tune you hear someone talk in favor of fed
eral government'electricity, ask him about the trick it
plays with your taxes (and his). Chances are, he’ll
stop talking and start thinking.
