By LES POWELL '
One of the most interesting
golf series in Penn State links:
history resumes today when;
the Lion clubbers host Col- T
gate at 1 p.m. on the home
greens.
The Lions, who hold a 9-4 ad-.
vantHge since the series originated
in 1929, scored a 4-2 victory in
the initial encounter and lost the!
second match in 1931 by the same'
count.
The two clubs did not meet
again until 1942, with Penn State
gaining a 7-2 decision, then los
ing by 5-4 the following day.
Penn Stale's golfers won the
last two meetings with the Red
Raiders, scoring 5-2 and 7-0
wins in 1956 and 1955. Colgate's
lest triumph over the Lion
Hnksmen came in ISS4 by a 4-3
count.
Lion coach Joe Boyle’s golfers
carry an 8-1 match play record
against the Red Raiders. The only
available information on the Col
gate club is its 4-3 decision over
West Point. Penn State defeated!

Stickmen Play
The Nittany Lion stickmen and
•tar attackman Bill Hess will be
out to better two Penn State rec
ords in their last away game of
the year at Cornell this after
noon.
The team will be out to even
its 5-6 season record in the con
test with the hope that next Fri
day’s home game with Penn will
make it a winning season.
Hess has shown, by his superb
play in Tuesday and Wednesday’s
two-game trip against Rutgers
and Lehigh, why he received All-
American honorable mention last
year as a sophomore and is ser
iously considered for first-team
**AA” honors this year.
In those two away games, the
southpaw stickman hit for ten
goals and raised his season output
to 38. only three short of the
record 41 goals he set last year.
The previous scoring record, set
in 1948, was 23.
Hess’ midweek scoring feat is
all the more outstanding when
one realizes that he is playing

with a broken right thumb on
his control hand. The injury made
him miss the Maryland game a
month ago and contributed to his
low output of four scores in three
games. He is still playing with a
special cast on his right hand.
On the defense, senior goalie
Jimmy Houck has already set a
new Lion Idcrorse standard of
227 saves by a goalie in one sea
son. The Lion net master is shoot
ing for the top save record among
the nation's goalies. He's been
averaging over 20 saves per game.
The 1956 honor went to Syra
cuse’s Oren Lynons with 274
saves. Houck has two games in
which to better his total of 228.

l praise from Fogg. “He regained!

Galiardi will fill in the third,

replacing Craig Moseback.
Fred Trust will start in the
number one singles spot and will
be in search of his second victory j
of the season. Trust, if he gained]
some confidence in himself and

Fogg.

Baer figures the Big Red should
be easy to score on since they
allowed Penn eight goals in a
15-8 victory over the Quakers,
In anticipating a high-scoring
contest, Baer expects this to be
the game in which Hess breaks
his own scoring mark.
If so, Lion fans will have to be
content with seeing Hess add to
the record in the season finale
next Friday against Penn on Bea
ver Field.
Incidentally, Baer is taking lit
tle chance of losing to Cornell.
He took "former Lion lacrosse
mentor, Nick Thiel, along on the
trip as a good luck charm.

SATURDAY. MAY 18. 1957
Thindads
Meet Pitt
In Rivalry
PITTSBURGH, May 16 (iP)
Penn State’s winless track team
will be out to avert its worst sea
son in five years this afternoon
here at the Pitt Stadium when
they meet the University of Pitts
burgh in the 40th track renewal
between the two interstate rivals.
Not since 1952, when the Lion
thindads posted a 0-4 record,
have they had such a miserable
season. This year it was a 59-57*4-
45*4 triangular loss to Villanova
and Navy; then came the Quan
tico Marine defeat, and
in the last two outings, Ohio State
has been the victor—7l-51 in a
dual meet and 6814-47*4-47 in a
triangular engagement with
Michigan State.
Depth has been the vital fac
tor in the cinder men's lack of
success. Coach Chick Werner
has several men who are per
ennially first place finishers bul
lacks the men to score those
vital second and third place
points.
That has been the case in every
event except the hurdles where
Rod Perry and Dick Winston rule
as the best hurdling combination
in the East, according to the lat
est figures released by the East
ern Collegiate Athletic Confer
ence.
Perry is unbeaten in both hur
dle events thus far, although ho
was tied in the high hurdles in
the Villanova-Navy meet by his
cohort, Winston.
Winston, by lha -way. has do- ■
veloped into a top flight 100-
yard dash man in lha past two
meets. Until the Ohio Stale
dual meet, this event was the
Lions' weakest. But that was
changed by Winston, who
placed second only,'to Ohio
Stale's Olympic star Glenn Da
vis in the 100 in both of the
last two meets.
The Lions’ other unbeaten ar
tist is discus thrower John Tullar.
Tullar, who also heaves the shot
put for the Nittanies, threw the
disc 16V 9*,4” in the Buckeye dual
meet, his longest throw of the
season.

sidered strongest in the sprints,
