Stickmen Out to
Navy's 28-Game
By BILL BARBER
It will he all or nothing
when the Nittany Lion lacrosse
team takes on the Midship
men of Navy at 2 p m. today
on Beaver Field.
The Lions will go all out to
bleak the 28-game winning streak
that Navy holds against them. If
they are t ver going to do it, this
is the veal as the Nittany stickmen
boast one of the strongest all
al mind teams they have ever
fielded, according to Lion coach
Ea' me Baer
"If we can maintain possession
of the ball on offense and control
the wound game. there is a good
chance we could win tomorrow,"

"We'll he at full strength today
while Navy will he lacking two
of then top midfielders, Captain
Bill Mitchell and Bob Gibbons,"
Baer added
The Lion aggregation will he
further strengthened today by the
rettlin of Dave Wilkinson to the
nets and Cove Elder to a mid

Wilkinson was slated for the
stalling goaltender job earlier but
has been kept out of the lineup
due to an ankle injury
Elder had been benched for
four weeks due to a severe char

in the second midfield along with
Dick Hammond and Chip Hen

Baer is also planning to use
the third midfield of John Behne.
Dave Erwin and Dick Janda as a
powerful 'stand-in for the first
and second midfield crews.
From the speed these three
powerful midfields can produce.
Baer is hoping to iun Navy rag

Another important person in

Stuns. Stuits will place an 11-

line when he faces his Quaker
opponent. He was the only
victorious Lion against the
Terps last week and has turned
in some very fine performances
for the Penn State squad in the
past.
Boyle has still a third ace in
the hole in the person of Roy Alt
man. Altman, who had a 9-1 rec
ord last year, lost a close 3-and-2
decision in the Terrapin match.
Boyle is also looking for Altman
to come through to realize his
potential.
The rest of Boyle's lineup
stacks up to be stronger than
its showing last week. Dick
Burgoon, senior transfer from
Franklin and Marshall, is ex
pected to win by the Nittany
coach.

'9' Rained
Penn State's baseball team
lost to one of its toughest op
rponents yesterday—the rain.
An all-day storm forced the
Lions to miss their scheduled
tilt with the Scarlet Knights of
Rutgers. Yesterday's rain-out
marked the second time in. two
years that the teams have met
the same fate.
Today the Nittanies are sched
uled to play Lafayette in Easton.
But as of last night it was rain
ing hard there and Lion officials
were worrying about another post
ponement.
r The Lions, however, weren't
idle as they managed to get in
some practice under the stands
at Latayette's Fischer Field.
The pitchers were able to throw
a little and the rest of the Lions
got in some pepper.
If the Lions play today Penn
State coach Joe Bedenk will prob
ably use Ed Kikla on the mound.
But he could change his mind
before game time. Kikla was sup
posed to make his first appear
ance in a Nittany uniform yester
day.
The stylish southpaw was in

son last spring. But so far this
year he has impressed the Lion

back in the fold this season are

Krall. However, due to illness.
Harnett will not be able to see
jaction in today's match.
The calibre of the Cornell team
is unknown, but if it is anything
like last year's team, then it
should be a tough match. Last
season at Ithaca, the Lions bowed
to Cornell by the score of 6-3.
Coach Sherm Fogg said "the
team may be a little inexper
ienced but they all play a smooth
and steady game." Cornell will
have most of their lettermen back

According to Bedenk, Kikla

But the man who was most
responsible for both of Lafay
