PAGE SIX Nine Aims for 2nd Win Today Against Rutgers Penn State's baseball team will be looking for its second win of the young 1959 campaign today when it travels to New Brunswick, N.J. for a game with Rutgers. Tomorrow the Nittanies will be in action again, helping Lafayette open its borne season at Easton. The Lions won their home opener Wednesday, downing Gettysburg, 10-6, behind the one two punch of Larry Fegley and Bob Iloom. Fegley and Hoover had four RBl's apieco and both had two hits. One of Hoover's blows was a tremendous home run which cleared the rightfield stands of Beaver Field. Penn State coach Joe Bedei.k plans to use his talented keystone enmbination in the same slots in the batting order today. That finds second sacker Fegley in the number three slot and Hoover following in the cleanup position. Before leaving last night, Be denk said Ihat he was going to start southpaw sophomore Ed Kikla on the mound with junior John Adams behind the plate. This will be Kikla's first taste of varsity action and the Lion coaches are expecting big things from the stocky portsider. It , will also be Adams' first game I as he had to sit out last season with a broken leg. The test of the lineup will', probably be the same Bedenkl said, "But if a righthander is; pit' hing for Rutgers," Bedenk' added, "Doug Caldwell will prob-; ably play rightfield in place of Zeke DeLong" The rest of Bedenk's finds Larry Beighey at first, Mike Hader at third, little Dick Landis in left and Ron Rinker in center, With the exception of the bat tery, this is the same team that topped C;ettystmrg in the opener. But even though the Lions won that one, neither Bedenk or his assistant Chuck Medlar was entirely satisfied with the team's performance. "Don't get me wrong," Bedenk said, "we played a gdod game but the in experience of some of the boys showed up." Bedenk said that he didn't know for sure who would pitch against Lafayette tomoirow but said it EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES for CAMP COUNSELLORS at CAMP CONRAD WEISER Wemersville, Pa.
