Lion's Victory Surprises,
Unbeaten Bear Stickmen
Disillusionment and overconfidence are two undermining
factors that have proven the downfall of many a top notch
team.
Such was the plight of the Big Red lacrosse team
Wednesday at Ithaca when the Penn State stickmen sta
en eight-goal rally that caught * * *
Cornell completely off guard.
The powerful Big Red team had
reginded the Lions as only a mi
nor stepping stone in their quest
for another successful season
The Lion stickmen were clearly
the underdogs of the game. They
had been slaughter ed by Navy,
the only top class team they had
met before Cornell, by 29-3 and
hadn't looked any too impressive
in then• next two wins over Penn
and Hobart.
On the other hand, Cornell
had an unblemished record,
having won threeand tied one.
Besides this the Big Red stick
men had upended the powerful
Navy contingent in a pre-sea
son scrimmage.
A record such as this would
discourage any ordinary team,
but the Lions kept on. Although
they weie down, 4-1, at the end
of the fist period, the Nittany
stickmen kept scrapping, just
waiting for their chance to ex
plode.
The blow finally fell near the
end of the third period, and be
fore Cornell knew what was hap
pening they were three goals be
hind within five minutes of play.
From there on in the Lions coast
ed through and only in the last
few seconds of the game did the
Nittany defense relax enough for
the Big Red to tally their final
goal.
The Lions had complete con
trol of the ground ball during
the entire second half of the
game. Coach Baer had predict
ed earlier in the season that if
the team could accomplish this
kind of control they would win
more games.
"Our offensive game is consist
ently improving," stated Coach
Earnie Baer. "Jim Winpenny play
ed a great game on attack. Chip
Henderson also did a good job
,n midfield. Henderson had one
of the best goals of the day with
a whipping shot that the goalie
never saw," added Baer.
The Lion scoring was evenly
distributed between the attack
and midfield as each unit chalked
up five goals. There were also
six assists on the 10 goals by six
different players, further indicat
ing the team strength that is em-.
badied in the Nittany lineup.
It may lust be that the stick
stickmen's loss to Navy could
Linksmen to Meet
Orange Saturday
The Orangemen of Syracuse University will try to spoil
the Lion Linksmen's bid to break the .500 mark when they
face the Nittanies Saturday at the Tecumseh Golf Course in
Syracuse.
According to golf Coach Joe Boyle, Syracuse can easily
do this. The Orangemen have four
lettermen returning including
Warren Simmons, EIGA and
NCAA champion two years ago,
and Mike Dritz
"The Syracuse team is pretty
well-rounded and should give us
one of the toughest battles of the
year," Boyle said.
Simmons, a senior, has faced
the Lions in the last two pre
vious meetings between the two
clubs. Last year, he beat ex
captain Pat Reilly, 4-and-2 and
two years ago, he also beat
Reilly, this time by a 4-and-3
score.
Simmons will most probably
face Lion captain Bill Davidson,,
The only previous meeting be-,
tween the two men occurred dur-'
ing the 1957 Eastern Champion
ships. Simmons beat Davidson
6-and-5. However, according to
Boyle, Davidson has come along
fast and Simmons has not im
proved that much since the pair's
last meeting.
Drib also has had two pre
vious ye ar s of competition
against the Nittany Lions. Last
year he lost a one up decision
to Davidson. In 1956, he beat
John Brattish 1 up on the 23rd
hole.

prove to be the tonic that Coach
Baer had predicted. Looking back)
over the records it is noted that'
the Lions lost to Princeton, 11-7,
in a pre-season scrimmage game.
Just this past Saturday Princeton
stopped Navy, 8-7. The only fact
that can be determined from this
information is that the Lions had
their worst day when they met
'Navy.
Riding on the crest of their three
game winning streak the Lion
;stickmen will be thoroughly test
led when they meet two highly
touted teams, Syracuse on May 2
and Maryland on May 6.
Patterson, London Sign
For Championship Fight
INDIANAPOLIS (FP)—A couple
of grim prizefighters, champion
Floyd Patterson and challenger
Brian London, solemnly scrawled
signatures yesterday on contracts
for their world heavyweight title
match here May 1.
Indiana's first championship
match is being cynically touted as
a mere tune-up bout for Patter
son's June 25 title defense in New
York against European champion
Ingemar Johansson.
1926, the two teams have a 5-2
record. The Lions won the last
two matches between the clubs
5-2 and 6-1.
TEE SHOTS—The Lions have
had seven unbeaten seasons since
golf was first played here in
1922. . , 1927, 1930, 1935, 1948,
1953, 1955 and 1958 were the per
fect years . . . In 1948 the Lions
were EIGA champions . . .

Could it be that most of the
officials at these schools are
in on the "hate-the-pros" cam
paign? And could it be that
Penn State would be dropped
from consideration if it would
do anything that would "de
stroy" the unity of the organi
sation?
Anyway, the Alumni Game is

sponsor a Tiddley-Winks Tourn

aren't too many pros in that sport.
