Itne the hist major relay on the
f•cliedule of the 2-day tiack and

The Lion quartet upheld the
predictions of veteran observers :
who had tabbed it as the favo
rile by breaking the tape ahead
of second place Duke and third
place St. John's. NYU finished :
fourth, Cornell fifth, and Penn
sixth.
The Blue and White thinelads'
got off to a good start by qualify.'

Faces Georgetown
"We'll be lucky to win," Lion net coach Sherm Fogg said
on the eve of the Nittanies big match with the Hoyas of,
Georgetown slated for 2 p.m. today on the Nittany courts.
Fogg said that a little luck is always needed against a
perennial winner like the•Hoyas and he hopes that his Lions,
have some today. Besides having
their usual fine players, the
Ifoyas have the advantage of a
lot of experience. Fogg said.
The Hoyas are 8-3 for the sea-,
son, while the Lions not having)
played as many matches as
Georgetown, have a 1-3 record.
The Lions shut out Juniata, 9-0,
in their second match of the sea
son and bowed to Cornell in their
opener, 8-1. They also lost to
Xtprylanci. 6-3, and Army, 7"2-
1.:
Last year. Georgetown, one
of the top teams in the East,
blasted the Lions by the score
of 8-1. Their number one man
et the time was a sophomore
by the name of Dick Ilazetti.
He defeated one of the Lions'
to stars. Chuck Questa. Razetti
once again is the lloyas' number
one man and is the biggest Hoya
threal.
The line-up for today's match
will have a few changes from
the one that lost to Army Wed
needay. The changes will be in
the singles where Fogg is seeking
to strengthen the team.
The main change will be in the
one and two spots where Captain
Chuck Sibleheimer will assume
his old position as number one
man and sophomore Dick Lud-
Wig will play the second posi
tion.
In the third position, junior
Jerry Carp once again will take
over. Gary Moore breaks into
the line•up replacing Don Mc-
Cartney in the fourth position.
The only other senior on the
team. Don Harnett. will be the
number five man for the Lions
while John Krall. who was the
Nittanies' number four man
against Army Wednesday. will
be moved to the sixth position.
Kral! replaces John Blanek in this
position.

880-yard relays was Maryland.

will be the same line-up as the
last match. Bibleheimer and Card,

fault. will be the Lions lead-off
double combination. Following
them will be Ludwig and Moore,
and Dian& and McCartney will
be the third pair for Penn State.

championship round in the 880.
The 440 relay finals will be run
at 3:10 this afternoon. The start
ing gun for the 880 championship
will be fired an hour later.
The two top Nittany discus
throwers, John Tullar and Andy
Nyce, each placed fourth in sepa
rate divisions of the platter hurl
ing event.
Herm Weber, Dennie Johnson
and George Jones failed to place
in the individual 2-mile run.
Several big - events dot today's
schedule. The Lions will run in
six relays and enter four field
• events.
Entrants from the Nit tany
field corps are Ron Beard, Dales
Peters and Dick Gross in the pole
vault, John Tullar in the shot
put, Andy Nyce in the javelin,
throw and John Fareira in the!
high jump.
In addition to the finals of they
,440 and 880, four other major:
relays are on tap for this after-;
noon. They are the sprint medley,l
.the 4-mile, the 2-mile and the
'mile relays.
The Lions have been tabbed
as the lop choice in two of these
—the 4-mile and the 2-mile.
The 4-mile relay shapes up as
a dual between Penn State and
John's with an interesting
sidelight. The anchor leg will pit
!together two runners who are
!generally conceded to be the best
!collegiate milers in the East—the
Lions' Ed 'Moran, runner-up to
Ron Delany-in the 1.C4-A outdoor
mile championship last year, and
the Redmen's Peter Close, 1959
IC4-A indoor mile king. St. John's
won the event last year and will
be defending its laurels in the
longest relay event on the pro
gram.
The Lion 4-mile lineup is Fred
Kerr, King, Engelbrink and Mo
ran.
Coach Chick Werner resorted
to strategy in making his line
ups for the sprint medley and
2-mile relay. The Lions are so
strong in the 2-mile that they
are favored even Without their
captain. Therefore Moran was
moved to the anchor half-mile
leg of the sprint medley crew.
This immediately
_elevated the
rating of the Lion sprint team and
established them as a definite
threat for the - short medley
crown.
Moran will join Hambright,
Brown and George Metzgar in
the sprint. Don Davies, Bill
Schwab, King and Engelbrink
omprise the 2-mile aggregation.
Coach Werner has not yet se
lected his mile relay team.

Nine Hosts Hoyas
In Twinbill Today
A 3-game winning streak and a 7-game losing streak will
be on the line at _I this afternoon when Georgetown Uni
versity's baseball team invades Beaver Field for a twin bill
with Penn State.
The Lions (5-I) will be after their fourth straight win
while Georgetown will be seeking its first win of 1959. To
day's doubleheader will be extra * * *
important to the Lions because 4 ';'n" t •
Ron Riese, who has been having
his trouble this year, will he on
the mound in the first game.
Riese was expected to be the
mainstay of the Blue and White
pitching corps this rear but
was ineffective in his first two
outings against Gettysburg and
Bucknell.
If Riese could regain his 1958
form, the Lions' pitching staff
would be a lot stronger, and the
NCAA playoffs might even seem
a little closer.
Tom Durbin, who beat Ohio
State last week in his first var
sity game, will get the starting
nod in the second game. The
stylish southpaw gave up only
.five hits last wee in his seven
inning stint against the Buck
eyes.
There will be only one •
change in the Lion lineup for
today's game and it will find
sophomore Ron Rinker in can
terfield in place of veteran
Doug Caldwell. The rest of the
outfield will be made up of
Dick Landis in leftfield and
Zeke DeLong in right.
The infield remains the same
with Larry Beighey at first,
Larry Fegley at second, Bob Hoo
ver at short and Mike Hader on
third.
Harry Beans will catch the first
game and John Adams will he
behind the plate in the second
affair.
Last year the Lions beat
Georgetown in a twin bill
played at Washington. Riese
was the winner in the second,
game. pitching a one hit shut
out.
After today's game, the Lions
will take a break until Wednes
day when they play Villanova at
home. Then next Saturday the
Nittanies will also play home
against Penn.

Giants Beat Cubs
On Sacrifice Fly
CHICAGO (IP)—The San Fran
cisco Giants, who remained in
the running on a perfect throw to
home plate by Felipe Alou which
cut off what would have been the
winning run, scored a 4-3 victory'
'over the Chicago Cubs yesterday
On Daryl Spencer's 11th inning
sacrifice fly.
A single by Orlando Cepeda,
Alou's double and Spencer's sac
rifice fly ended what turned into
a shabby contest after a great
pitching duel by Johnny Anton
elli of the Giants and Dave Hill
man of Chicago.
Antonelli, searching for his
fourth victory against no defeats,
was sailing along with a four-hit
ter until he walked the lead-off
man in the ninth inning.
