Lton coach Joe Bedenk will send :southpaw star Ed Kikla To the mound today in quest of his fourth win in a row The sophomore portsider has been somewhat of a sensation this spring. giving up only seven hits n 22 innings and compiling a 045 ERA Ile ha' beaten Bucknell twice and Ohio State for his thiee wins. The latter win coming on a two hitter, 8-2. The rest of the Lion lineup will be the same as the one which has been producing so well lately. The infields finds Larry Beighey (.185) at first base, Larry Fegley (.419) at sec ond. Bob Hoover (.379) at short stop and Mike Hader (.217) at thirdbase. Dirk Landis (.087) will be in leftfield. Ron Rinker ( 177) will be in center and Zeke DeLong (.367). will be the iightfielder. tither Harry Beans ( 203) or John Adams ( 375) will be the starting catcher Most of the Lions' power lies I in the third. fourth and fifth slots in the batting order and it's there that they have their three top hitters—Fegley, Hoov er, and DeLong. If Penn's coach Jack McCloskey ha' any hopes of beating the Lions he will have to find a Och er who can stop the smoking bats of this trio So McCloskey will probably go with his number one hurler Bob McCafferty.
