For Three-Game Series
By LOU PRATO
Baseball coach Joe Bedenk will
have a chance to solve Penn
State's so-called ')oitching prob
lem" this weekend when the
Lons tangle in a 3-game series
with Ohio State at Columbus.

For some time now, Penn State
fans have• been saying that an
emergence of another twirling ace
(or two) to go along with veteran
Ca) Emery would be necessary if
the Lions are to repeat their out
standing 1957 performance— the
hest in Penn State history. Last
year, you may recall, Becienk's
men posted a 22-2 record, includ
ing 2] straight wins, and a second
place finish in the NCAA World
Series.
And of those 22 victories, 12
were picked up by the now-de
parted AN-American Ed Drap
cho and 10 were chalked up by
Emery. Bedenk did use three
other flingers last year, includ
ing junior Dave Simmers and
Ron Riese. But Simmers hurled
only seven innings and Riese
four.
Emery did most of the Lion
pitching in the first two games.
He flipped four frames in that
26-0 debacle over Western Mary
land and then went 13 1 i innings
against Bucknell Tuesday. Riese
twirled one inning against the
Maryland crew and two-thirds of
a frame against Bucknell. He
whiffed four of seven men that
he has faced, but whether he can
handle a starting role remains
to be seen.

Golfers, Netmen to Face Tough Foes
The Penn State tennis and
golf teams will be meeting
some of their toughest oppo
sition of the season tomorrow
when they meet the Univer
sity of Maryland and Army
respectively.
The Terrapins of Maryland,
Middle Atlantic Coast Conference
champs list year, as usual are
courting another good team. To
date, they are spoiling a 4-1 rec
ord and have a match with
George Washington before enter
ing the Nittany Valley tomorrow.
The Terps beat MIT twice,
South Carolina and Clemson
before losing their last contest
to Virginia.
Lion Coach Sherm Fogg calls
Maryland, who beat the Nittanies,
8-1 last spring, "the best team wt.,:
met last year" and predicts a
very tight contest. Western Mary
land net mentor Frank Hurt said
his neighbors from College Park
are not as strong this year as last.
The Lions whipped Western
Maryland, 7-2, last week-end.
Maryland has loot its number
one man from last year, Dave
Frieshtat, a junior Davis Clipper,
and listed among the top ten
juniors in the country. Taking his
place is Jackson Yang, who is
backed up by last year's number
two man, Carl Bucks of Hershey.

The golf situation does not
appear any easier for Coach Joe
Boyle and his talented links
men. Army, as in most Cadet
sports, is reputed to be "tough"
at West Point—and that's
where this meeting will lake
place.
Last year, the Lions won easi

puts it. "Up there, anything can
happen."
This year's Lions are rated
among the strongest in Univer
sity history. With Pat Reilly,
Davidson, John Felus and
Charlie Decker spearheading a
well-balanced attack, the Lions
romped to a 7-0 victory over
Lehigh in their season opener
last weekend.
But Boyle is certainly not over
optimistic. Of this test, he said•
'Now we'll see how good we
really are."

FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1958
By MACK McGAUGHAN
Lion track fans can look for
ward to the possibility of three
new school records being set in
tomorrow's dual meet with Navy.
The meet will be the first of
the year on the Beaver Field cin
rders and it promises to be a
,thriller.
Lion middle distance aces Ed
Moran and Bill Schwab are fa
vored,to take the 880:yard run.
The school recor d-1:53.2--
seems doomed in this event.
Both Moran and Schwab are
capable
breaking the re-
cord and they
are expected to
push each other
all the way.
The Middle's
top half-miler is
Fred Marc h.
March took the
first place hon
ors against Pitt
with a time of
1:58.1. This,
however, is not
his best time and he is figured to
push the Nittany entries.
The quarter-mile record— :48 4
—is another mark that is apt to
fall.
Co-Captain Jim Norton and
sophomore flash Dick Hambright
are the favored entries in this
event. March is also Navy's top
entry in this event.
Both Norton and Hambright
are looking much stronger due to
the warmer weather and better
practicing conditions, according
