test of the 1959 season at 3:30 to
day when Ohio State invades
Beaver Field.
The two teams will wind up
their 3-game set tomorrow after
noon with a doubleheader begin
ning at 1 p.m.
The Buckeyes are fresh from

One of them—Ron ischwitz—
signed a bonus contra t with the
Detroit Tigers for $1,„000. The
Ohio State lefthande beat the
Lions last year whe the Nit
tanies played in Columbus.
According to Ohio S, ate
Marty Karow, pitching seems to
be his biggest problem: "We have
a good defense and good power.
If we get pitching we'll have a
good club."
Carl Unger is one of the pitch
ers who might solve Karow's
pitching problems. He missed a
no-hitter in Florida when a
grounder took a bad bounce and
went for a hit.
Karow also has Paul SeitlL
Tony Drobnick, Dale Denny
and Dick Perkins around for

DON'T MISS THIS ONE
Imagine this, you're an Eastern champion in your sport.
Yet when you walk around on campus people pass you by
without even saying "whosehee?"
In fact one day you walk into a local men's shop with a
guy named Les Walters just after winning the Eastern title
and you get to talking about al
subject called golf with this cute
little coed.
After you leave the shop with
this guy named Walters, one of
the salesmen asks the coed who ;
she was speaking to. She re- I
plies: "I don't know: he's Les
Walters' friend."
But you don't hear that remark,
Bill Davidson, you just go about,
your game—the
same one they
play around the
White House , '
lawn.

good. You lost DAVIDSON
your touch some of the the non
observers are saying—but not the
50 people who saw you play Sat
urday.
They saw you lose a real cliff
hanger. The fact that you shot
a one-under-par 68 was over
shadowed by a great two-under
by Penn's Don Norbury. But
that was only the black-and
white of the game.
To beat you, Norbury start
ed off by sinking a 40-foot putt
on the first green. The extra
long putt was all the more un
nerving because Norbury had
to compensate for a five inch
"plateau" on which the pin was
placed. But the ball dropped in.
Then on the second hole, you
missed a 25-footer by the width
of the ball. Norbury sank his 15-
footer. You were still ca 1 m
though.
On the fourth hole Norbury hit
a poor tee shot onto the side of

an overgrown bunker. But he
pulled it out and lay on the green
in two. You're still calm.
On the long, dug-leg left, fifth
you blopped your tee shot out
about 80 yards and Norbury hit
for about 220. But your four wood
cleared the trees and your ap
proach had enough backspin to
stop before it rolled over the
green. You were lying in three
but Norbury was on the green
in two. The pressure was -on—
you were already down two.
Under that strain, you hid the
ball in the cup, but you almost
had to breathe on it to get it in.
A few holes later you were down
three but you came back and
were only one down going into
17th.
After three shots you were
lying two feet from the pin and
you had a sure birdie. Norbury,
also lying in three, was 25 feet
below the pin, He canned the
shot and you were still down.
Whatta you got to do to beat
this guy?
You weren't sure, but you man
aged to get on the 18th green in
two. But so did Norbury. You
settled for birdies again and you
lost—for the second time in as
many outings.
Davidson, you've just lost your
touch. Wanna bet!?!
