Lion Nine Hosts Lehigh
With Undefeated Record
An 11-game winnin * skein goes on the firing line once again
when the Lion baseball :rs meet Lehfgh University this afternoon
at Beaver Field.
Game time is set fo: 3:30 p.m.
Bedenk gives his cjft used line: “We'll run the string out- as
long as it lasts,” which means this afternoon his ace hurler, Ed
Drapcho, will take the tnound for the Lions.
Drapcho, 6-0 on the season, carries a 1.14 earned-run-average
into the game with him. In 47 Vi - , , .
Innings pitched, Drapclio has al
lowed only 13 runs-j-seven of
which are unearned—on 34 hits.

Baidy, who has allways been considered a good man defensively,
has found the eye in the hitting department, raising his batting
average from .222 to .255 'in the last three games.
Bedenk was also pleased with the performances of Lockerman

and- Stickler in the last three Lion games. Lockerman, who started
off the season in a vicious slump, raised his batting average from a
.276 mark to a solid .318. He joins Rainey, .379, and Watkins, .333, in
the select .300 club.
Stickler, also troubled by early season batting difficulties,
boosted his mark from a mere .200 to a creditable .279.
Defensively, Bedenk expressed great'satisfaction with his in
field. He feels that his keystone combination of Hoover and Tirabassi
is the best he has had under him in the last five years. He added
that it could probably be rated among the tops he has had in his
27 years at the Lion helm.
Pirates Whip Cubs, 8-6;

Pitching performances by Pitts
burgh’s Luis Arroyo and Detroit’s
Duke Maas sparked Major Lea
gue activity yesterday afternoon.
Arroyo struck out nine in a
hot-and-cold relief stint to help
the. Pirates whip the Chicago
Cutis, 8-6. Frank Thomas had a
four-for-five afternoon, including
his fourth homer of the year.
Maas, who couldn’t win a game
for the Tigers in 1956 blanked
Boston, 2-0, on a sparkling five
hitter.

Pitt Track Meet Rated Even
By LOU PRATO
An off day by one star per
former on either team could de-j
cide the winner of the Penn
State-Pitt track meet in Pitts
burgh Saturday afternoon.
That’s how close the Lions and
the Panthers are rated, according
to performances thus far in the
outdoor campaign. ■
And off those past showings
it looks like Penn State will have
an edge in the distance runs, the
hurdles, the shot put and the dis
cus. The Panthers get the favo
rite role in middle distance runs,
sprints, the high jump and pos
sibly the javelin. -
The mile relay, broad jump and
pole vault-events could swing in
either direction.
The 100-yard and 220-yard
dashes are perhaps Coach Carl
Olson’s strongest events, for he
has two of the nations top sprint
ers—Herb Carper and Jim Don
ahue—doing the running.
Carper, a junior, is the Steel:
City captain and holds the school
record in the 100 with a 9.3 mark.'
He ran the distance in :9.7 last :
Saturday to win the event in the :

Notre Dame dual meet.
Donahue is only a sophomore
hut he is rapidly carving his way]

I Pittsburgh cinder greats. A pro-!
duct of the Pittsburgh district
high schools, Donahue is expected
to reach the :9.6 mark sometime
in the season although his best
so far has been :00.2 short of that
time.
Both Donahue and Carper can
hit the 21.0 mark in the 220.
Olson has another potential
sprint ace in sophomore Jay
Moody. Moody is able to run the
100 in :15 flat and the 220 in ;21.9.
Chuck Heflin, Jim Moore and
Dick Doyle give the Panthers
the strength in the 440-yard and
880-yard runs. Heflin copped the!
440 in a meet with Army with a
:48.7 time but missed placing in
the Notre Dame encounter last
Saturday because of a box out on

ELECTRICITY MAY BE THE DRIVER. One day yonr car may speed along as
electric super-highway* its speed and steering automatically controlled
by electronic devices embedded in the road. Highways will be mads
safe—by electricity! No traffic jams... no collisions... no driver fatigue.
Power companies build
for your new electric living .
Your air conditioner, television and other appliances are just
the beginning of a new electric age.
Your food will cook in seconds instead of hours. Lamps
will cut on and off automatically to fit the lighting needs in
your rooms. Television "screens” will hang on the walls. An
electric heat pump will use outside air to cool your house in
summer, heat it in winter.
You will need and have much more electricity than you
have today. Right now America’s' more than 400 independent
electric light and power companies are planning and building
to have twice as much electricity for-you by 1963. These
companies can have this power ready when you need it because
they don’t have to wait for an act of Congress—or for a cent
of tax money—to huild the plants.
The same experience, imagination and enterprise that elec- j
trifled the nation in a single lifetime are at work shaping your :
electric future. That’s why in the years to come, as in the past, •
you will benefit most when you are served by independent
companies like this one.

-1 terra can live up to Olson’s ex
pectations. Salvaterra, who led
Pitt’s gridiron heroes for the past
; three years, can toss the stick
around 185-190*. But Olson thinks
Salvaterra has the potential to
reach the 200’ mark.
Paul Thrash, who missed quali
