His stated that Ed Moran, the Lions' top middle distance man, would find tough competition in the form of the Jasper's Tom Murphy. Moran holds the all-time Penn State half-mile record at 1:50.2 and the mile record at 4:10.5. Murphy was clocked at 1:48.6 in the anchor leg of the Jaspers' two-mile relay at the Collesium Relays last weekend. His best time in the open half is 1:51.9.

There will be many defending hampions back for this year's neet. Bob Raemore of Williams port, the winner in 100 and 220 last year, turned in an im pressive showing in the dis tricts last week to boost him into the favorite spot in those two events. Other defending Class A champions are Roy Reisinger of Central Dauphin in the mile: high jumper Chuck Smith of Washington, and the Williamsport half-mile relay team.

The selection committee, which was supposed to pick the four play-off teams this past Monday, postponed its selection date to this coming Monday. The postponement was a great break for the Lions as they would have been undoubtedly dropped by the wayside after los ing two home games last week. The high-riding Panthers own a respectable 10.4 record going info the season finale compared to the Lions 12.4 chart. But the quality of opposition has been a little different. The Panther nine holds wins over the likes of Indiana State Teachers Col leg e, California Teachers, Cornell, Bucknel I, Georgetown. Allegheny, West Vir ginia (2), Duquesne (2), and Syra cuse Their losses have been to West minster, Juniata, Syracuse and Navy—the latter two teams were handled with ease by the Lions as they took both ends of a doubleheader from Syracuse, 8-5 and 11-0, and whipped the Mid dies, 9-2. Bedenk will go with his one two combination of Cal Emery (7-1) in the opener and Reliable Ron Riese (5-1 )in the nightcap. Their opposition comes from two Panthers who also have suffered only one defeat this year—Bill Hamilton (4.1) and Bob Conti (2-1). Gary Miller (who is leading the batting parade among the regulars with a healthy .351 aver age), Ron Rainey (.328), Captain Don Stickler (.281), Jack McMul len (.264), Steve Baidy (.224), Joe Moore (.207) and Davey Watkins (.083) will be bowing out for the Lions today. Watkins has been one of the big offensive disappointments for the Lions this year, although hold ing his own defensively. The sen ior rightfielder hit .333 last year, but is at a low point this year where he would rather use his (Continued on page seven) in the 440 and is expected to make a strong bid in the 220. Gerry Baker, also of Port Alle gheny, is favored in the broad jump and will bid for the title in the high jump.
