Lion Stickmen Gain
4-4 Tie With Garnet
Thanks to a third period rally, the Penn State lacrosse
team came from behind to gain a 4-4 overtime tie on Saturday
against Swarthmore.
The Lions, playing their usual "Silky Sullivan" style of
lacrosse, started off slower than ever as they fell three goals
behind the Garnet in the first A- * *
half.
Terry Maisel, the Little Quak
ers' former All-American high
school star, broke the scoring ice
for the Garnet early in the first
half. Dick Quarles and Bob Hea
ton added tallies in the second
period to put Swarthmore Into a
comfortable lead.
But finally the Lion offense
started to click as John Behne,
the Nittanies leading scorer,
cracked the Swarthmore nets in
the closing minutes of the sec
ond period.
In the third period the LionS
pulled a complete reversal. Dick
Bullock started the scoring spree
on a pass from Bob Swanson to
pull the Nittanies within one goal.
Swanson and Behne combined
on the tying score as Swanson's
pass set Behne up for a clear shot
at the goal.
The Lions finally broke into
the lead when Dick Hammond
snagged a pass from Behne and
slammed it through the Garnet
defense to give the Baermen a one
goal edge.
However, the Swarthmore
squad was not down for long,
as Maisel scored his second goal
of the day to tie the score at
4-4.
In the fourth quarter neither
team could score. Swarthmore
came the closest when a shot
dribbled through the Lion nets
only to be discounted when a
Garnet attackman was charged
with standing inside the crease.
As neither team could score,
the game went into a 10-minute
overtime. However, this also
proved to be fruitless, as neither
team could muster a tally, and
the game ended in a 4-4 tie.
Coach Earnie Baer's tight man
to-man defense proved effective
against the Garnet offense as the
Little-Quakers shooting was held
down to a minimum.
"Everybody played hard and
did as good a job as they could,"
said Coach Baer. "We had al
most complete control of the
ball during the second half but
couldn't get a shot past the
Swarthmore goalie," Baer add
ed.

better and our offense moved
more smoothly. In general the
team looked much better than
they did in the previous two
games," he said.
Dave Fetter, the Garnet's top
goaltender, was the main deterent
to the Lion's scoring effort. Out
of more than 40 shots the Nit
tany offense fired at the Swarth
more nets, only four got through.
Swarthmore Coach Avery
Blake had hir,h praise for the
Garnet's showing. "We played
Iwo fine games against Dickin
son and Lehigh and we were
going strong hi the first half of
this game. But we sort of ran
out of steam in the second half.
However, I was very pleased
that they worked as well as
they did against a team like
Penn State." Blake concluded.
The Lion stickmen still have a
chance to gain their first winning
'season in three years. The Baer
men's record now stands at 4-3-1,
but two games remain yet with
Lehigh and Rutgers.
