Lions Face Cornell
In Golf Test Today
Joe Boyle’s Lion golfers attempt to rebound from their
first defeat of the season when they face the Cornell links
men today on the University course.
The Penn State mentor has made one change in his
lineup, moving Bill Davidson to the third spot id d; 'g
captain John Branish to fourth. •- -
Pat Rielly, Johnny Boyanowski,
Bob Bainpridge, John Felus and
Leo Kukkola, in that order, are
the other Lion starters.
On the basis of comparison, the
Penn State golfers should recover
their winning touch against the
Cornell club. The Big Red was
toppled decisively by Maryland,
whom the Lions defeated, 19-11,
in a pre-Easter match play and
best-ball meeting.
Commenting on his team’s de
feat by Navy, Boyle agreed with
Middie mentor Bob Williams on
t the part played by putting in the
.outcome. “They putted us off the
'course on the back nine,” Boyle
said.
Davidson was match medalist
and the lone Lion to emerge
victorious in the Lion's 6-1 loss
to Navy Wednesday at Annapo
lis. MdL It was erroneously re
ported in The Daily Collegian
that teammate Bob Bainbridge
was the winner.
Davidson, the only sophomore
starter in the Lion lineup, shot
a 68 to edge Middie grid cap
tain Earle Smith, 2 and 1, and
cop individual laureis for both
clubs. Smith, a first-year com
petitor, finished with a 71.

Lion Stickmen Host
Talent-laden Orange
Beaver Field will be laden with candidates for the 1957
Lacrosse All-American team this afternoon as the Lions host
the undefeated Syracuse Orange at 3:30 p.m.
Led by Jimmy Brown, a lacrosse second team All-
American last year, and goalie Oren Lyons and attackman
Paul O’Donahue, both of whom ★
jreceived honorable mention, the
Orangemen are considered one of
the strongest teams in the East.
Two weeks ago the high-scoring
visitors were held to their lowest
offensive effort in two years in
a 10-6 victory over a perennial
Eastern lacrosse power, Yale. And
26-year coach Roy Simmons
boasts, “I’ve been coaching la
crosse at Syracuse for a quarter
century, and this looks like one
of my best teams. In center -Jim
Brown and goalie Oren Lyons,
I know I have two of the best in
the country.’’
The Lions’s first-year coach,
Earnie Baer, has honorable
mention attackmen In junior Bill
Hess and goalie Jim Houck to
counter the press clippings of
Brown and Lyons.
Hess, who played both lacrosse
and football with Brown at Long
Island’s Manhasset High School,
outscored Brown last year as he
set a Penn State scoring mark of
41 goals. After a late season start,
Brown scored 30 goals for the
Orange and had six of them in
the 18-13 win over the 1956 Blue
and White,
Maybe that’s -why Simmons
claims his 220-pound star is “even
more outstanding at lacrosse than
he was at football.”
If this is true and the versatile
athlete makes the first-team la
crosse All-American, he will be
the second athlete to be first team
All-American in both lacrosse and
football in as many years. Navy’s
great football end and lacrosse
attackman Ron Beagle performed
the feat in ’56.
Lyons took top honors among
the nation’s goalies last year with
274 saves. The full-blooded In
dian is rated by his coach as, “The
SATURDAY. MAY A. 19 57
best goalie I have ever coached."
Protecting the Penn State nets
will be three-year veteran Jimmy
Houck. Houck has had plenty of
experience against fast-shooting,
high-scoring teams like Syracuse
this year and has a 40-save mark
against Navy this year to prove it.
That may be the top single game
record across the nation this year.
His seven-game total is 151 and
with six games remaining rates
a good chance to surpass Lyons’
274 save record.
Baer plans on using his stand
ard lineup of attackmen Hess,
Captain Lou Girard, and Tom See
man; interchangeable midfielders
John Behne, Mike Beattie, Glen
Fiscus, Fred Donahoe, Jeff Bos
tock, “Horse” Chestnut, and John
Steinmuller; defensemen Ray
Tuleya, Harry Brown and Don
Sanders and goalie Houck.
