4 Teams Play at Home
Lion Nine
Seeks Bth
Against Penn
By SANDY PADWE
Collegian Sports Editor
After being rained out of its
last tilt, Penn State's baseball
team (74) goes after its eighth
win of the season at 2:30 this
eternoon when Penn comes to
Beaver Field.
The Lions will carry a five
ga►ne winning t,troak into today's
game while the Quakers bring a
6-7 log into the contest.
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. McCafferty has a 3-1
record thus far this season and
has been Penn's number one
"stopper."
Like the Lions, most of Penn's
power is in the middle of its line
up, George Campbell, the Quaker
third sacker, and Gordon Achil
les, the secondbaseman carry a
big part of Penn's batting load.
Achilles has two homeruns
this season, and in last year's
game against the Lions he
homered for Penn's only run
in an 11-1 loss.
Achilles, together with short
stop Herky Rubincam, also give
the Quakers a fairly strong dou
bleplay combination.
After today's game the Nit
tank's take to the road for four
Barnes. They play at Navy Tues
day and travel to Colgate Friday.

Today the Lions will once again
be shooting for their first win-'
ning season in three years. A vic
tory over the Orangemen could
do the trick as the Nittanies now
hold a 4-1 record with only four
games remaining after the Syra
cuse tilt.
Syracuse boasts a 3-1 record,l
having lost only to the powerful
Yale unit. However, one of these
wins was an 11-9 squeaker over
Hobart, a team that the Lions
trounced by an 11-3 score. The'
Orangemen had to rally in the
fourth period to overcome the
Hobart squad while the Baermen
held sway. over Hobart for the en

Lions' John Felus by , a 1 up

longest hitters in college golf

yards.

Syracuse will heavily miss

Meet Strong
Buckeyes
By JOHN BLACK
Assistant Sports Editor
The Nittany trackmen open
,their home card at 1:30 this
afternoon when they host the
Ohio State Buckeyes on the
"3eaver Field cinders.
The highly-touted charges of
Coach Chick Werner have al.
ready established themselves as
a power in the East with impres
sive showings in the Penn and
Quantico relay carnivals and to
day test their talent against Big
10 competition.
Ohio State will boast a vet
eran lineup dotted with a few
upcoming sophomores but sore
ly lacking one thing—an out
standing individual (or several
individuals) to fill the void left
by Olympic champion Glenn
Davis, who has completed his
collegiate eligibility.
The absence of Davis greatly
diminishes the Buckeyes Poten
tial in the dashes and middle dis
tance events, but the visitors still
have one fine sprinter in their
captain, Ted Storer. who will
carry much of the load for his
team in the 220 and 440.
Ohio State track mentor
Larry Snyder has bemoaned the
fact that some of his men are
nursing physical aggravations
and he can not accurately de
termine the team's relative
strengths and weaknesses.
The Bucks' only action thus
far this spring has, been in the
Ohio, Michigan and Penn Relays
and they have registered few

Snyder's two best sprinters are
bothered by bum legs. Bob Mc-
Eaehern is still suffering from a
pulled muscle and Bob Connell,
a member of the Ohio State swim
ming team, has had trouble con
ditioning his legs for the cinder
season.
