PAGE SIX Lions Face Gettysburg In Home Baseball Tilt Penn State's baseball team will run into a red-hot Gettysburg nine this afternoon when the Lions host the Greyhounds at Beaver Game time is 3:30. (Radio Sta tion WD[ M will broadcast the tilt starting at 3.25.) Gettysburg is currently rid ing on a 10-game winning skein after losing the season's opener to Syracuse. And the main rea son for the Greyhounds' surge has been the hurling of sopho mores Jack McCracken and "Bucky" Walters. McCracken is undefeated and Walters' only defeat was to the Orangemen. Both are highly-sated Major League prospects. McCracken has already been tempted by a couple of ilinerican League clubs while the Cincinnati Redlegs no doubt have then' eye on Walters—the von oh the famous Cincinnati pitcher of the late thirties and standard lineup for today's test. early forties.

Frosh Drop 2nd Straight To Navy Baseballers, 9-2 By SANDY PADWE A balanced attack is the most important thing as far as any baL,eball team is concerned. When a team is hitting, getting good pitching, and fielding flawlessly, it will be hard to beat The Penn State freshman team hasn't been able to com bine these three yet, and the result is two straight losses— the last one coming Wednesday at the hands of the Navy plebes, 9-2. In their first game against Lock Haven, the Lions got the hitting and pitching, but the defense failed. At Annapolis Wednesday they had the fieldine% and lacked the hitting and pitching. Against Navy, southpaw Dick James struck out six men, but walked just as many. Couple the walks with five hits' and the re sult is seven Navy runs and a nice Tim-Tam Fa vo LOUIS VILLE. Ky. (il 3 )—Tim Tam is the slight favorite to win the classic Kentucky Derby to morrow, but the Calumet Farm colt must reckon with Silky Sulli van, Jewel's Reward and 13 others who were entered Thursday for America's most colorful horse race If the weather man cooper ates, this 84th Derby could draw more than 100,000 for the big gest crowd in its history due to the presence of Silky Sullivan. Slick Silky, who trails far be hind, then gives with the old college try in the final half mile, is one of the most talked about colts ever to start in the derby.

Commenting on the perform ances of his pitchers, coach Bill Speith said that they had good "stuff," but lacked control. He said, "James is a fine pitcher and as soon as he gets more work under his belt he will be hard to stop." "Our hitting attack was terri ble," said Speith—the Lion Cubs collected only two hits. "Mike Hader, Dick Delong, and Karl Fry are hitting the ball better than anyone. Hader hasn't had a base knock this year, but he hit the ball solidly five times."

As the morning wore on, Jew el's Reward, owned by the Maine Chance farm of Mrs. Elizabeth N. Graham, was entered along with two stablemates, Jet's Alibi and Ebony Pearl. Tim Tam was the seventh of ficial entry. He is listed as the , early 2-1 choice to give Calumet Farm its seventh derby. Odds on Silky Sullivan, who copped the Santa Anita Derby but hasn't tangled with such colts as Tim Tam and Jewel's Reward, were 5-2. his recently promoted number two starter, Ron Riese, for mound duty. Riese was Bedenk's ace fireman in the early part of the Nittany season. But after the pint sized righthander's performance in his first starting assignment last week against Syracuse, Be denk elevated him to the second hurling spot behind Cal Emery. Riese almost threw a perfect game at the Orangemen. He al lowed only two men on base, both via hits, and his team mates backed him up with an errorless defense. He threw only 99 pitches in the nine-inning fray, and 51 of them were strikes. In 1813 innings pitched, Riese has given up only one walk, fan ned 17, allowed nine hits and three runs. All three runs were scored by undefeated Ohio State in one frame and all were earned.

Stickmen Close 01 Away Season in N Coach Earnie Baer's lacrossemen close out their a season in New York this weekend at exactly the mid-se; mark on their 13-game schedule. As the seventh and middle game of the schedule, Lions play at Geneva today against Hobart, a team that terms "in our league." But tomorrow, the Lions take on another "Class A" team in the Syracuse Orangemen. The Syra cuse tilt closes out the away sea son for the Lions with only five friendly home games remaining. "And all five are teams on our :tale," commented Baer. The Lions hold a 2-4 record through the first half of the year, but the four losses were to "Class A" lacrosse teams as Baer calls them—Hofstra, Navy, Maryland and Rutgers. "And nobody else in the nation plays such a killer schedule in the beginning," Baer reiterated. Hobart, although a traditional lacrosse rival, was not on last year's schedule and since their publicity department failed to re lease any information on the team, Baer was completely in the dark as to their capabilities. Hobart and Syracuse are an nually the two toughest teams in the state of New York, and last year's Lions proved it by drop ' ping a 13-4 decision to undefeated Orange squad led by football and lacrosse All-American Jimmy Brown. The Hobart crew lost to the Syracusans by a similar score, 16-4. For the Lions, Baer contem plates only two changes in his lineup. One will involve an in exp e r ienced. but aggressive, junior Dave Wilkinson. Wilkin son, a former goalie, was im pressive in his first game on the attack last Saturday and will start in place of Barry Price. Al Faust is involved in the other ' change. The little midfielder may lump to the first trio as Baer will have to rest the third injured mid fielder, Chip Henderson. Dick Hammond, Henderson and Faust will probably shuttle back and forth on the first two midfield units. FRIDAY, MAY 2.
