TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1959 As a MATT-erna-FACT EVER SEE THE "GASHOUSE GANG" PLAY BALL?--- Have you seen Fenn State's baseball team play? Yes, well, then don't bother reading this. But if your answer is "no", then let me tell you what you're missing. In the first place, you probably know that this team has a 7-1 record. (They lost two Fridays ago to a powerful Ohio State squad which had an 11-2 record. But they came back to win a doubleheader from the Buckeyes that Saturday The record is only the black• ' - and-white of it. This is not a black and white team by any stretch of the imagination. This is one of the most colorful teams that has represented Penn State in any sport since I've been here. The difference from last year's solid, but dull, squad is the rook ies. And fr om this angle the most outstanding has been D 1 c k "Pepper" Landis. The little left fielder has speed to burn. On de fense he already ha s two "spec taculars" to his credit both against Ohio State's c a t cher, Walt Peters. In Durbin the first game he made a shoe string catch of a dropping line drive and in the second he also speared an apparent triple in deep left-center. "Both would have been triples and possibly homers had he not, caught either ball," analyzed, Charlie Swift, WDFM's sports di-' rector. "But that's the kind of ball Landis plays; he's a gambler all the way—and he's got the speed to gamble with." According to the statistics, Landis is a poor leadoff hitter. He's hitting .083. But he gets on base two or three times a game. And when he's on base, he's the most dangerous runner these eyes have ever seen. Against Bucknell last Wenesday, he stole home for the winning run in a 2-1 game. But an even more outstanding example of his value as a leaddff batter _ was exhibited against Georgetown S a t u r day. Statisti cally, he was 0-for-5. But he re ceived four walks and scored four runs. On a passed ball, he invar iably takes two bases and cli maxes each steal with a long head-first slide into the bag— ale "Pepper" Martin of the old Gashouse Gang. In fact, he took eight bases Saturday (steal or passed ball)' and was only close to being out once On that occasion the ball was there, the second baseman's glove was down right in front of, the bag waiting for Landis. But when the dust cleared after Pep per's apparent swan-song, the umu signaled safe. How he made it, this writer cannot determine. Maybe his arms reached around the bag before the ball touched his head. Only Pepper and the umnire really know. Pepper isn't the only out standing rookie. T lere's sopho more southpaw . m Durbin who has two wins 1. his credit. Durbin also boasts a S-for-S record at bat and looks almost as fast as Landis. But then, Durbin's only been at bat in 10 innings and hasn't had the op portunities to steal that Landis has had. Oh yes, Durbin's pitch ing record is also spotless, 2-0. Then there's the other wing to;' the outfield trio, sophomore Zeke' PINE FOREST CAMP a well-established co-ed camp.in the Poconos, has openings in its staff for women in the Junior or Senior Class or for graduate students or instructors.

PENNSYLVANIA By MATT MATHEWS 4ssociate Sports Editor DeLong. Against Ohio State, , De- Long saved Durbin by catching' a potential line-drive triple just' inside the right field line near the flag. What made Zeke's dead run catch all the more important was the fact that the bases were loaded and, with two outs, all three Buckeyes were moving and would have easily scored. But the right field speedster caught it and ended all possible "buts." At the plate, DeLong is recog nized as the fifth hitter. He's had 11 hits in 30 official times at the plate for .367. But he's not just a swinger. He was on base all four times in his last game—twice via base-on-balls. Although not as dangerous a base runner as Durbin or Lan dis (Zeke probably only has five or six stolen bases), De- Long is dependable in- the clutch. The only "monotonous" rookie is southpaw Ed Kikla. The Mon ongahela ace won't let enough r unners on base to make the games exciting. He's only given up seven hits in 22 innings. His earned run average is a measly 0.45. And his won-lost record is 3-0. What a boring pitcher! Even sophomore third baseman Mike Hader ha 3 contributed his share (or maybe more) of "ex citing moments," Against Ohio State he struck out a couple times with the bases loaded before hit ting a single to drive in two runs. And although he made seven er rors in the Ohio State double header, he has improved at the "hot corner." Why he only had two errors fo liven the Georgetown twin bill--along with misplaying a couple of high-hop ing ground ers. But he fries. To this group of ookies you add solid (but dull) performers like Captain Bob Hoover (.448) and Larry Fegley (.420) and Joe Bedenk has another winning com bination. Come to think of it though, maybe we better keep those dull guys with the .400 batting averages. ' Bring on Villanova and Penn and whatta weekend! OTHER MATTERS—Besides the baseball team. two other highly successful Lion squads will have home meets Saturday —which should really make this a great Senior Week . . .

WWI 'Orangemen Defeat ;Lion Linksmen, 4-3 Even though Bill Davidson, EIGA champ and Lion cap tain, broke the mastery that Warren Simmons had over the Lions in the last two years, the Penn State linksmen dropped a 4-3 decision to the Orangemen of Syracuse. Davidson, playing first position, beat Simmons, one-time Eastern and National champ, by a 1-up score. Davidson shot a par for the Tecumseh course on which the match was played. Golf coach Joe Boyle said this was quite a feat. "The greens on the course were not fit for playing," he said. The turning point in the match, according to the Lion mentor, was the tilt Dick Bur goon lost to Syracuse's second man, Mike Dritz. This match lasted 22 holes before Dritz beat Burgoon. After, the first five holes, Bur goon was down three holes. However, he made a good come back and was 3-up after the 13th. From that time on, Burgoon could not find the hole once he was on the green. Boyle added. Dritz, meanwhile, tied the match on the 17th hole. Both men halved the 18th to send the match into a playoff. On the first playoff hole, Bur goon needed to sink a 1 1 / 2 -foot putt to take the victory. He missed and set up Dritz for the win. All wasn't bad for the Lions, however, as their two young stars, Haydn Thomas and John Morton, came through with de cisive wins. Thomas defeated Jack Kress of Syracuse, 6-and 5. Morton took Dick Spear by a 6-and-4 score. "Both of these men played sharp games and looked good out there for us," Boyle said. Another decisive factor in the link loss was that Roy Altman and Scott Stultz, playing number three and four respectively, lost their matches by close scores. Altman lost to the Orange's Bob Armstrong. 2-and-I. Stultz dropped a decision to Stan Ban- Patterson, London Train for Fight INDIANAPOLIS (IP) —Th e i r heavyweight title fight only four days off, Champion Floyd Patter son and challenger Brian London honed themselves to a fine train ing edge in drills yesterday. The lithe Patterson sparred three rounds, two against Ike Thomas and one against Cuban Julio Menderos. He dropped Thomas once with two stabbing lefts and a crushing right that lifted his sparring mate off his feet. Patterson said he fell sharper than he has for any of his three previous title defenses, and ob-; servers said the champ's combi-I nations were working well.
