By SANDY PADWE
Collegian Sports Editor
A clutch ninth inning triple with two men aboard by Penn
State's rightfielder Zeke DeLong, gave the Lions a 7-3 come
back victory over Colgate yesterday.
The win boosted the Lions' season record to 10-1, and
extended their win streak to eight.
Today they will have a chance to get their 11th and 12th
wins when they wind up their * * *

Yesterday marked the first
time this year that Lion pitch
ing star Ed Kikla was knocked
from the box. The sophomore
lefthander, who went into the
game with a 4.0 record and 0.68
ERA, went to the showers in
the fourth inning when the Red
Raiders nicked him for four
runs.
Colgate started things quickly
in the first, when they took ad
vantage of three Kikla walks
and shortstop Bob Hoover's error
to take a 1-0 lead
The lead didn't last long
though, as the Lions came back
with four tallies in the third.

Thinclads Host Michigan State
On Beaver Field Oval at 1:30
By John Black
Assistant Sports Editor
The Blue and White Nittany
Lion thinclads place their un
bleamished record on the line
this afternoon when they host
the Spartans of Michigan State on
the Beaver Field oval at 1:30.
The Penn State freshman track
sters, who own a victory over
the Navy Plebes in their only pre
vious outing, will run against a
Cornell fresh squad concurrently
with the varsity races. The fresh
man race will precede the varsity
contest for each distance.
The Lion spikers, currently
the elite of eastern track circles,
hold dual meet decisions over
Navy, 76 2 / 1 -54 1 / 2 , and Ohio
State, 98-43. The Spartans were
victorious in their only dual
meet test, whipping Wisconsin,
72 1 / 2 -59 1 / 2 .
Coach Chick Werner's forces
are at full strength and have
eliminated most of the doubling
that was done in last week's out
ing by some of the top runners.
Except for the dash men and
hurdlers, each Nittany runner will
be competing in only one event
unless miler Ed Moran is entered
in the open slot in the 2-mile run.
Fred Kerr, senior distance ace
who was entered in the half-mile
against Ohio State has returned
to his old spot in the 2-mile line
up and has been clipping off some
'fast trials in practice this week.
Dick Engelbrink has not been
feeling up to par this week and
Kerr may inherit the duel with
national collegiate cross coun
try champion, Forddy Kennedy.

The Spartans have a glaring
'weakness in the discus throw.

his race with ease against Wiscon

Bobby Brown should have a
clear shot in the dashes for the

fact, the Michigan State record
in the 220 is 21 flat. Brown ran
20.9 last week and it's still early
in the season.
Dick Hambright and company
will have a tougher time in the
quarter-mile if Brian Castle is in
shape. Castle recorded a 47 flat
last year but has suffered from
sore muscles this spring.
Chick King should find some
competition from Bob Hughes in
the 880-yard run. Hughes ran 1:58
against Wisconsin and has a best
of 1:52 8.
Kluszewski Battles
For Regular Slot
PITTSBURGH (iP) Muscular
Ted Kluszewski of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, used mostly as a pinch
hitter this season, just won't give
up in his battle for the regular
first base job.
The big slugger came off the
bench last night to start against
the Philadelphia Phillies. He
quickly pepped up the sagging
Pirate offense with two singles
and a 10th inning home run for a
5-4 victory.
Klu raised his batting average
to .480 with 12 hits in 25 trips.
The homer was his first of the
year.
Afterward, Kluszewski observed
happily that he believes he can
keep right on hitting if he can
play regularly. He added, "I just
know the more I play, the bet
ter I hit."
