The Lions lost the game to the Terps, 20-1.
By BILL BARBER
The Penn State lacrosse
learn dropped its second game
in a row yesterday when it
was thoroughly beaten by a
well - balanced Maryland
squad, 20-1.
Holding the Lions at bay
throughout the entire game, the
Terps were the complete masters
as their wide open pass plays and
excellent ground control never
gave the Nittanies an opening.
The strong defense that has
been the mainstay of the Lions'
game throughout the season,
turned into a sieve yesterday as
Maryland scored at will. Coach
Earnie Baer's attempt to switch
goalies proved to be of no avail
as Dave Wilkinson and John
Castella together could only
manage 13 saves.
The only Lion stickman who
could crack the Maryland nets was
John Behne, who scored at 4:37
in the second period. Behne charg
ed in unassisted through a pack
of Terrapin defensemen to regis
ter the lone goal.
Coach Bernard Ulman of Mary
land attributes his team's success
to one thing which the Lions are
sorely lacking—experience. Coach
Ulman says that he rarely runs
plays but instead allows the play
ers to set up their own scores.
Coach Ulman had high praise
for the Lion team considering its
lack of experience.
One of Maryland's strong points
was the outstanding saves of its
goalie, Bill Chamber.
The Lions' main weakness once
again proved to be the goal as

shot after shot was drilled
through.
Coach Baer was displeased with
his goalies missing shots that
should have been a matter of
'"catch and throw." Dave Wilkin
son, who made a great showing
at Cornell by racking up 20 saves,
was taken out early in the first
period in favor of John Castella,
;but started again in the second
!period. Neither goalie seemed to
be very effective at any time dur
ing the game.
"Fundamentally we did things
!well," claimed Baer. "They passed
DAVE ERWIN CHIP HENDERSON
it around well and cleared nicely.
Everybody save all they had and
worked hard so I can't complain,"
Baer said.
"For the experience we have
compared to the great deal of
experience they have, we didn't
do bad at all," concluded Baer.
The only strong point in the
Baermen's defensive aggregate
was Dave Erwin, who played one
of his best games, according- to
Baer. Erwin was the constant ag
gressor on defense as he broke

up many of the Terps scoring
plays.
In the final period Maryland put
on a show that strongly resembled
a basketball- freeze as they kept
control of the ball throughout
most of the period. The Lions' at
tempt at breaking the freeze were
useless as the Terps whipped the
ball round and round the Nittany
nets before firing for the score.
Maryland's scoring was divided
between nine players with Roger
Goss, the Terp's AR-American
honorable mention attack player,
,tallying five goals for the •high
mark. Jerry Thelen, the Terp's
other All-American, scored three
goals.
During the entire game only
one penalty was committed. Andy
Moconyi was tagged for slashing
late in the final period, thus
marring what had been up to
then a spotless game.
The Maryland squad managed
to get aft 56 shots while the Lions
were heid to 18.
This Saturday the Baerrnen will
meet Swarthmore on the Garnet's
home field. Swarthmore has a 7-1
record thus far this season.

Max Bishop
And Baseball
It was a perfect day for a baseball game—you know the
kind. A warm sun beat down on Navy's diamond, and a cool
breeze blew across the infield just enough to make things
really comfortable.
Navy's coach Max Bishop
Chicago White Sox Scout Herb
Newberry. Wiping his wrinkled
forehead, the former Philadelphia
A's and Boston Red Sox star sat
down in the dugout and sipped
a glass of water.
"Kids these days sure have
it easier than we eldtirnerg did
when we were breaking in." he
said. "That scout over there."
he said pointing to Newberry,
"is probably trying to talk one
of my players into signing a
bonus."
"Boy, when we broke in we
never heard of anything like that.
A lot of these kids make more
money on bonuses than some old
major leaguers did in a career,"
he said.
And its probably true, for Bish
op played second base for the A's
way back in 1924. He stayed with
the A's for 10 years and then
moved over to Boston to finish
his career with the Red Sox.
He had a lifetime batting
average of .271 and was rated as
one of the top second sackers in
the game. In fact. Connie Mack.
the A's manager, called him the
key to the A's infield. ' . •
Now Bishop is 60 years old and
retired from the hardware busi
ness. He coaches
the Navy base-
ball team in the
spring and lives
in nearby Balti-
more. Soon he'll
collect a nice
pension che ck
from . the Ameri-
can League. So
it's no wonder
that Max is such
a pleasnat per-
But on Tues
day he ,was more than pleasant,
as he reminisced about his play
ing days in the big leagues.
"My biggest thrill by far was.
the 1929 World Series when we
played the Cubs," he said ser
iously. "There was some great
ball played in that series."
"The first game of the series
was one of the best games I've
seen. Howard Ehmke was the
pitcher and that was something
no one expected."
He explained that Ehmke, who
was supposedly washed up, had
only started two games the whole
season and hadn't even made the
last western trip with the team.
"We didn't know it, but Mr.

had just finished talking with
Mack left him behind just' so
he could watch the Chicago
Cubs play the Eastern learns.
Then when the opening game
of the series rolled around. arid
he was announced as the start
ing pitcher, everyone was
startled."
"I can still remember what Al
Simmons said when Ehmke was
announced. Al was always very
outspoken and he walked past
'Mr. Mack and asked him if 'that
guy' was really going to pitch."
"Mr. Mack just looked at him
land said 'don't you like it?' Sim
mons looked back and said in a
low voice, 'well, if you do'."
"Well, Ehmke went out and
pitched a sensational game. He
struck out 13 and the whole base
ball world was amazed with his
win," Bishop said.
"Then after the game Mr. Mack
saw Simmons and just gave him
that funny look and I'll bet , Al
didn't feel too good," chuckled
the graying coach.
"That fourth game was really
something, too," he said. And that
it was. The A's were trailing 8-0
going into the seventh inning. But
in the seventh they exploded for
10 runs in one of the greatest
rallies in baseball history, and
went on to win the game, 10-8.
"I had a single in the rally, but
Jimmy Foxx and Mickey Coch
rane had the big blows," Bishop
said.
"The way we won the series
was thrilling, too. We were three
runs'behind in the bottom of the
ninth of the fifth game, but we
scored four runs to win it and
the series."
By now Bishop had quite an
audience around him in the dug
out. But it was time for fielding
practice so he chased the Middies
out and went to work.
LaX Team 6-3 in 1951
In 1951 Penn State won 6 and
lost 3. The 7 and 6 overtime vic
tory over the Maryland Lacrosse
Club was the highlight of the sea
son. The Maryland Club defeated
IMt. Washington and was named
the "National Open Champions."
