Tennis Team in Crucial Week
Netters at
In Crucial
The first tennis match of a crucial three-match week
was rained out yesterday at Bucknell. So the Lion net team,
still smarting from its defeat at Colgate Saturday, goes to
Philadelphia today to battle the Quakers of Penn.
Lion net coach Sherm Fogg called this week the one
that could make or break the
Nittanies in regard to a success
ful or unsuccessful season because
of the three matches, two of which
had to be won to blaze the trail
of success
The third match is on Saturday
at the Beaver Field court against
perennially powerful Lehigh.
In preparation for the time of
crisis, Fogg gave a rehashing of
the Colgate defeat and ex
pressed satisfaction at what he
called "the first time in a while
that the boys have given close
attention to the lecture."
He showed the team how it lost
thiee or four matches through
carelessness, and feels the boys
lost the "conceit" that they ac
(mired after shutting out Juniata
last week. He hopes the new atti
tude will be an aid in the week's
battles.
The Quakers' hopes for an ex
cellent season, based on the re
turn of the top six lettermen,
were thwarted by the loss of last
year's number one man John
Mangan and the continued ill
health of 'Bob Robbins, the pres
ent squad's number two player,
who has a chronic back condition.
Mangan has secured a leave
of absence to play year-round
in California. In musing. over
hi s prospective competition
earlier in the year, Lion coach
Sherm Fogg had called Man
gan the third best in Pennsyl
vania—the first Iwo, Bill Scar
let! and Lowell Latschan, will
be hero on Saturday.
To date the Quakers are win
starved, having lost four straight
to Swarthmore (5-4), Brown (6-3),
Harvard (9-10), Dartmouth (6-3).
Three year varsity performer
Ralph Levitan, captain for the
second year, is playing number
one. He played in the second
spot on last year's team that
fell to the Lions, 8-1.
Levitan is one of the biggest
nehmen playing in the East—
six feet two, 200 pounds.
The remainder of the Quakers'
top six are Robbins, Howard Frie
ciel, Jerry Finerman, Claude Beer,
and Gray Perkins.
The fiat two doubles teams
are Levitan and Fineman, Rob-

bins and Friedel, The third duo
changes periodically. The num
ber two team went undefeated
last year in ten matches.
Penn State will probably go
with the same players announced
by Fogg for yesterday's washout.
That will be Captain Fred
Trust, Charlie Bibleheimer,
Chuck Questa, Gene Flick, Dick
Jacobs and Mel Royer in the
singles department: Trust and
Questa, Flick and Bibleheimer
and Royer and Jacobs in the
doubles.
The Quakers are always to be
reckoned with because of consis
tent winning seasons. Under the
dean of the Penn coaching staff,
Wallace Johnson, the team has
had only six losing seasons in the
net mentor's previous 28 at the
helm.
Penn has one other aid on its
side in its match with the Lions
besides season after season con
sistency—that is Fate's trustful
helper, the law of averages. Penn
has never beaten State in 16 oth
er outings.
Philley's HR
Sparks Phils
7.4 Win in S.F.
SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Veteran
outfielder Dave Philley blasted a
370-foot home'run in the fifth in
ning Tuesday and sent Philadel
ohia's Phillies on to a 7-4 victory
that knocked the San Francisco
Giants out of first place in the
National League.
A crowd of 6801, smallest of
the season, turned out for the
game.
Philley's blast, his third hit of
the game, started the Phils on a
four-run inning that brought the
first pitching victory of the sea
lon to left hander Curt Simmons.
The setback left San Francisco
a half game behind the world
champion Milwaukee Braves, who
defeated the Chicago Cubs 8-4. It
also snapped the two-game vic
tory string of Venezuelan right
hander Ramont Monzant who was
charged with five runs and the
defeat.

Emery Seeks 6th Straight Win
In Baseball Tilt at Navy Today
Southpaw ace Cal Emery will
be seeking his sixth straight win
this afternoon when Penn State's
baseball team tangles with Navy
at Annapolis.
The undefeated Lion star hasn't
started a game since he whipped
Bucknell, 11-0, last Thursday. But
he did see two inning of relief
duty in the second game of a twin
bill with Syracuse Saturday, and
that was enough time for him to
earn his fifth win of the year.
Although the towering lefty
has an impressive five game
record, which includes a phe-
Frosh Nine
Lose First,
Play Today
A porous defense ruined the
debut of the Penn State fresh
man team at Lock Haven State
Teachers College last Saturday.
Even though they outhit the Bald
Eagles, the Lion defense com
mitted five errors and the Lions
lost the game, 7-6,
The loss was especially hard to
take for pitchers Dick James and
Roger Williams. James was the
starting pitcher and twirled the
first four innings without giving,
a hit. Due to coach Bill Spieth's
rotation system, Williams fol
lowed on the mound and gave up
only two hits, but lost the game.
It was during Williams' stint on
the mound that the Lion defense'
fell apart.
One happy note—aside from,
the strong pitching performance—
' came out of the opening game.
The hitting which was supposed
Ito be the team's weak point
showed up better than expected.
The Lions collected 7 hits in the
contest compared to only 2 for
Lock Haven. Centerfielder Char
ley Fry led the attack with two
hits.
Today the Lion Freshman play
in the first game of a twin-bill
against Navy at Annapolis. Once
again southpaw Dick James will
,art on the mound for the Lion
cubs.
Bedenk Rates Stickler
'Best Collegiate Catcher'
Penn State's Joe Bedenk pulls
no punches in rating his 1958 cap
tain, Don Stickler, "the best
catcher in college baseball." The
State College youth, now in his
third season, bats in the clean-up
position, possesses a strong throw
ing arm and, according to his
coach. "does the thinking for our
pitchers."

Cal Emery
... owns .067 ERA
nomenal .087 earned run aver
age and 43 strikeouts, he is just
beginning to round into his top
form. Against Bucknell last
week, Emery gave up only two
scratch singles, and two walks
in a six inning hurling stint:
and in his two inning relief role
against Syracuse, he limited the
Orange to a bunt single while,
fanning five.
In 29 1 / 2 innings, all told, Emery
has allowed seven runs--only two
of which were earned-15 hits and
18 walks.
Emery's mound opponent this
afternoon will probably be Navy's
Captain Ben Montoya. Montoya,
who fills the right field position
when not on the hill, owns three
victories to date, including an 8-5
decision over Brown last Thurs-

Montoya is a righthander, and
because of that Lion Coach Joe
Bedenk will use his "southpaw
outfield platoon" in his starting
array. That will find three-year
vet Jack McMullen in right field
and junior Chuck Caldwell in
center. McMullen. who hit a
three-run homer against Syra
cuse, is currently batting .333
while Caldwell is hitting at a
.455 clip.
If Navy uses a portside flinger,
then veteran Dave Watkins (.182)
will replace McMullen and senior
rookie Joe Moore (.188) will be
in for Caldwell.
Ron Rainey is the "other"
man in the outfield, but he is
seen in hi, left field spot re
gardless of the pitcher. Rainey,
a lefthand swinger with a .333
batting average, leads the team
in runs-batted-in with 12.
The rest of Penn State's lineup
is standard: Gary Miller (.500) at
first, Fegley (.387) at second, Bob
Hoover (.281) at short, Steve
Baidy (.185) at third, and Captain
Don Stickler (.259) behind the
plate.
"I don't know what Navy has
this year," Bedenk said before
departing for Annapolis last
night, "but they usually field a
good team."
"And they're always tough on
their own field," Assistant Coach
Chuck Medlar added.
The Lions beat the Middies at
Annapolis last year, 8-5, but had
to go 11 innings to do it. Ed Drap
cho was the winning hurler and
Jim Lockerman the batting star
(for the Lions) with three hits.
Both have since graduated, how
ever.
Following today's tilt, the Lions
return home for games with once
beaten Gettysburg, Friday and
West Virginia, Saturday.
