Strong Pitt Squad; Seek 7th

The unbeaten Nittany Lion
golf team roared into Pitts

make the Pitt Panthers victim
number 7.
But winning may not be that
easy. The Panthers are rated
among the best in the East with
a 4-1 log, losing only to a powerful

Lion linksmen have their work
cut out for them.

Pitt toppled, 5-2. In addition, three
Lion golfers lost to Hoya players
that were in turn beaten by Pitt.
Pitt Coach Bud Gaskill will
start Ron Schwarzel against
Lion Captain Pat Reilly (3-3).
Schwarzel, a junior, is consid

Fogg Adjusts Net Lineup
For Match With Lehigh
Tennis Coach Sherm Fogg is throwing a juggled lineup at
visiting Lehigh at 1:30 p.m. today on the Beaver Field courts
in an effort to find a winning combination.
The Lions have lost two straight, the last one being Wed
nesday to Penn for the 16th consecutive time (contrary to the
erroneous statement printed
Thursday that the Lions had lost
to the Quakers for the first time
in 16 years )
The Lions are now 2-3 for the
season while the Engineers
were 4-2 with two more matches
to play at last report.
The Engineers, led by two men
whom Fogg calls the two best in
Pennsylvania—Captain Bill Scar
lett and sophomore sensation
Lowell Latshaw—lost their first
two matches by 5-4 scores. They
recovered to win the next three
by 9-0 shutouts and the fourth
by a 6-3 score over Gettysburg.
Lion Captain Fred Trust will
stay in his usual top spot to battle
Scarlett, defending Middle Atlan
tic singles champion. Trust fell
to the same foe last year, 2-6, 8-10,
in the Lions' 8-1 loss
The first of the juggling will
occur on court number fwo
where Chuck Questa will ex
