Navy for Ninth Win
By SANDY PADWE
Collegian Sports Editor
ANNAPOLIS, Md. May 5 Playing with a "revamped"
lineup, Penn State's baseball team (9-1) won its ninth game
of the year today, beating Navy 6 to 3 here.
With Bill Benton playing first base and Tom Durbin
playing in left field, the Lions broke open a 3-3 game with a
run in the eighth and two morel
in the ninth.

The Blue and White started

But in the seventh inning, withi
two out and a man on first, Amer
lost his effectiveness and three
straight hits by shortstop Bob
Steidle, Arkie Vaughn and Dick ,
Brown tied the game.
Then in the eighth, the Lions
broke the tie when Benton tripled
and Ron Riese singled.
In the ninth, the Lions added
two more for insurance on a
single by Zak, DeLong, a walk
to Charlie Caldwell and another
three-bagger by Benton.
Navy's first run in the fourth
came after two were out. Second
aseman Joe McGlinchly got on

The reason for Joe Bedenk's
new lineup was to get more hitting
power for the Lions. The gamble
paid off. Durbin went three for
four and Benton two for three.
Durbin got two straight hits
before being put out for the first
time this season. He previously
had six hits in as many at bats.
His three hits today give him a
.000 average for the campaign.
Benton's two hits raised his aver
age to .444.

The loss gives Navy a 9-4 rec

ERA Leads
NL Pitchers
NEW YORK (JP)—South paw
Harvey Haddix of Pittsburgh and
right-hander Bill Fischer appear
ready to settle down with their
present teams if the early compe
tition for the earned run titles
is any indication.
Haddix leads the National
League with an earned run mark
of 1 88 while Fischer heads the
American with 1 06, figures com
piled by The Associated Press
through Monday's games re
vealed.
Haddix, obtained from Cincin
nati last winter, has allowed only
five earned runs in 24 innings.
He has a 2-0 record with a 2-0
victory over Philadelphia and a
2-1 triumph over St. Louis. The
33-year-old lefty had a 3.52 ERA
with the Reds in 1958. He also has
pitched for St. Louis and Phila-1
delphia.
Fischer was purchased from ,
Detroit last Sept. 11. He was a
"triple dubber" in 1958, working
for the Tigers, Chicago White Sox
and Senators. He has permitted
'only four earned runs in 34 inn
ings this year in beating Boston,
2-1, Detroit, 9-1, and pitching 10
, scoreless innings against New
York in a game won by the Yanks
in 14. Fischer gave up three runs
in six innings against Baltimore
in his first start.
Major league home run pro
duction is up 15 per cent this
season with the Cincinnati Reds
and Washington Senators record
ing the largest increases.
A total of 321 homers have been
hit in 156 big league games as
compared with 280 in as many
games a year ago.
Cincinnati, which had only 12
home runs in its first 20 ganies
in 1958, leads both leagues with
31. The Milwaukee Braves are
next with 28 followed by Cleve
land with 27 and San Francisco,
26.
Washington has 25 circuit
blows, 13• more than 1958.
The Chicago Cubs, with only
18, are 14 homers behind last
year while the Pittsburgh Pirates
care 10 off their 1958 pace.

ference which would include
both Penn State and Notre Dame,
the now legendary leader of the
'equine brigade, became quite en
thusiastic.
"It would involve top-notch
teams from top schools without
tampering with any other con
ference," he said. (All of the pro
posed members of the national
loop are currently independents.)
Although Notre Dame has nev
er been in a league Stuhidreher
strongly favored its inclusion iv
this conference. "A nation-wide
league adhering to the same code
would be a very healthy situation
producing stronger competition,'
he claimed.

Underdog
Powerful
With everything to gain and nothing to lose, the Penn
State lacrosse team will definitely be the underdogs today
when they take on the Terrapins of Maryland at 3:30 p.m. on
Beaver Field.
Maryland, a team that acquires the majority of its players
from Baltimore County, the hot
bed of lacrosse, has without a
doubt one of the top teams in the
nation this year. The Terrapin's
record is in itself a testimony to
the all-around power of the Mary
land squad. The Terps have thus
far this season posted a 7-1 mark,
having lost only to the Mt. Wash
ington lacrosse club, 13-8.
Considering that the Mt. Wash
ington Club absorbs practically all
the college and high school All-
American players, the Terrapins
lone loss is not nearly as bad as
it looks.
In fact, Mt. Washington even
topped last year's intercollegiate
lacrosse champions, Army, by
an almost identical score of 14-9.
Last year the Maryland unit
racked up an impressive 8-1 rec
ord over some of the top teams in
the country. Their only loss came
from an 11-10 squeaker that Johns
Hopkins managed to take. Con
sidering that Hopkins has won the
national championship 17 times in
its history, this loss can hardly be
counted against the Terps.
Maryland has won the national
championship six times in the 77
lyears of the championship's exist
ence.
The Terrapins' last champion
ship years were in 1955 and 1956.
Included in the Terps chain
of victories this season are wins
over Princeton. 11-10, and Na
vy, 15-8. Navy, of course, was
the team that pounded the Lions
into the ground by the score of
29-3.
Jim Goss, Bill Thelan and Jacki
Scarbath will most likely carry
the scoring load for the Terps to
day as these three have compiled
the majority of the goals for Mary
land this season. Both Goss and
Thelan were All-American honor
able mentions on last year's Mary
land squad.

Terps Today
By BILL BARBER
20-2 record against Lion teams of
past years. Last year the Terps
walloped the Nittanies 22-5. The
Lions' chances of ,winning this
year are not much better than
I last year's as it would take a much
improved Nittany squad to over-
I come the overall power that is
contained in the Terrapin lineup.
After the drubbing the Lions
took from Syracuse on Satur
day, they hay* a long way to
go to come anywhere near the
style of play that Maryland is
capable of exhibiting.
Coach Earnie Baer may pull a
few lineup switches for today's
game in an attempt to field a
team that can keep up with the
Terrapins' blistering pace.
John Castella could get the
starting nod in the goal today to
replace Dave Wilkinson who
made a sub par showing in the
nets on Saturday. Castella has
been improving constantly all
season.
Andy Moconyi could also find
a starting position on defense
today as his aggressives will ha
greatly needed against a team
like Maryland.
The midfield contingent may
also be strengthened as Chip Hen
derson may be moved up to a
starting slot.
