Miller's
Hitters;
When baseball coach Joe Bedenk talked about Penn
State's diamond prospects in late March, he mentioned the
fact that his ace hurler Cal Emery would probably see action
at first base when not on the mound.
Emery, only a junior, had been in that ddal role last year
when the Lions won second place
in the NCAA baseball tournament
and it was only natural that he
retain the role. After all i the
towering lefthander had l4ound
, ii
up with a .326 average,"third ' 'gh

the Lions' home run title with
three,
But after 10 games this season,
the Center Hail Clipper ha's yet

sophomore year in 1956. But after
hitting at a lusty .298 clip in his
rookie campaign, he fell to a .191
last spring, lowest among the re
turning nine letterwinners.
However, this season Miller
has been blasting away at op
posing hurlers with the adept
ness of a Gil Hodges. His .484
average is 114 points better
than runnerup Ron Rainey—last
season's baiting king with a .333
average (.350 during the regular
season and he also leads the
team in total hits with 16. Be
sides that, the lanky first sacker
is tied with Rainey and junior
Chuck Caldwell in the doubles
department with three.
Ironically, Miller bats in the
eighth position in the batting or-
