WEDNESDAY. MAY 13 Lion Sti Enginee Having been stalled three times in a row, the Penn State lacrosse team will try again for its fifth win when it plays' Lehigh today on the Engineer's Steel Field. The Lion stickmen are still seeking that all important, win that will cinch their first winning season in three years.! Of the two teams remaining on * it * the Lions' card, Lehigh ranks as -- the Nittanies easier opponent. In the final game with Rut , gers, the Lions' chances of win ning are slim, according to the experts. Rutgers was ranked the fourth best team in the na tion last year, and thus far thii season they have been holdin their own against such teams as Army, Johns Hopkins, ane Navy. Lehigh, however, is a team m to be taken lightly. Although ti Engineers are holding a medioci 5-3 record, one of these five wit was over Dickinson, the team th, tied for first place with MIT the Roy Taylor division last yet This was the same league which Lehigh finished in the ci lar last season. Another game of importance far as the Lions are concerns was the 13-4 drubbing the Eng] veers suffered at' the hands t. Swathmore. The Baermen man• aged to tie Swarthmore in their last outing. In a game against Franklin and Marshall, the Engineers tallied their highest single game output in the 73-year his tory of Lehigh lacrosse when they blasted 26 goals past the Diplomats' goaltender. Jack Kelly, editor of the La crosse Newsletter, states that this year's Engineer aggregate is' the best team at Lehigh in the past 25 years. Lehigh's sophomore scoring punch of Dave Ruliman, Pete Dußois and John Nowalk have been doing a good job this sea son considering their lack of ex perience as the aggressive of fense has been averaging 16 goals per game. Tom Flatley, another sophomore scoring ace for the Le high attack, will alternate with Nowalk to complete the starting attack unit, Andy Jones, the Engineers' leading scorer, heads the mid field contingent.

Mike Miller's 4:19.8 was good for a third. In the 880 it was Moorhead and Miller again. This time they outraced thei pack and crossed the finish line together in 1:59.5. Cornell's Jim McSwenny won the 440-yard run in 51.6. Joule and Bruno Zotter took second and third for the Lions. In the 120-yard high hurdles Ralph DeOrsey of Cornell won in 162.

The defense is probably the most experienced unit in the Le high lineup, as all three starters are seniors. Thus far this season the starting defense of captain Bob Wardell, Dick Pennell and Pete Havel have held their op ponents to seven goals per game. The Nittany starting attack will be the same as it has been all year with co-captain John Behne, Jim Kane, and Jim Winpenny filling in the starting positions. The defense wilt be headed by Dick Dill, who, according to Coach Earnie-Baer, has been do ing a tremendous job defensively all season. Dave Erwin and Mike Beattie will hold down the other two starting positions.

PENNSYLVANIA Dick Dill Pirates Rally To Upend Giants, 6-5 ' SAN FRANCISCO (IP) The Pittsburgh Pirates hopped on Gi ant relief pitching yesterday for three runs in the 12th and beat San Francisco 6-5 in' a hectic Na tional League cliff-hanger. The Giants almost tied it in their half of the 12th on a comedy of Pirate errors but winner Ben nie Daniels finally got Daryl Spencer to pop out to end the 3 hour 51 minute game. Pittsburgh got 16 hits and used 16 players. Eighteen Giants, in cluding six pitchers, saw action. They got 11 hits. The Pirates picked up their win ning margin when Dick Stuart doubled and scored on Bill Maz eroski's third single. A single by Dick Groat and a walk to Daniels brought home Mazeroski. Dom Zanni came on and walked Ramon Mejias and gave up a sin gle to Roberto Clemente which brought in Groat with what prov ed to be the winning run. In the Giant 12th, Jim Daven port led off with a single and went to second on Clemente's wild throw. Willie Mays singled to right and Davenport scored on Clemente's second error. Mays came home when third baseman Don Hoak threw Orlan do Cepeda's ground ball into the first base dugout. 000 000 210 00.1-8 16 4 001 000 020 002-5 11 0 12 innings Law, Face 8, Daniels. 10 and Burgess, Foilea il: Antonelli, Worthington 8, Miller 8.

Ed Moran, Dick Engelbrink, Chick King, Bilt Schwab and Don Davies, were going to the Coliseum Relays instead of running with the rest of the team in the dual meet with Pitt. Said writers first plucked for a while on the old heart strings, 'yodeling a ballad about the deep-rooted rivalry between the two neighborhood schools. From this they moved to the story that a 'television station wanted to air the meet that was so important it was scheduled as a preliminary to a soccer game. Finally they built up a mirage of a feud between officials of the two universities. Both universities seem entirely satisfied with the present ar rangerrients but the sportswriters seemed to fear that the fair city of Pittsburgh was being slighted by being denied the privilege of seeing five Lions whom they adroitly tabbed as Penn State's "shock troopers." We would like to suggest that the inhabitants of the golden triangle may be shocked by the performances of quite a few otter Penn State athletes on the Pitt Stadium track. In fact, considering the results of the Panther track meets thus far this season it. seems that the fans should thank their zodiac that the "Big Five" will spend their weekend at another summit than the one at Bigelow and Fifth. Rivalry fades and loses its edge when the team lineups are lopsided and the "Nittany track forces minus five" still should find little trouble in subduing a Pitt squad that does not measure up to Panther crews of the past. This should handle the matter of tradi tional rivalry that means so much. Now let's look at it from the runners' point of view. Is it fair to expect or even ask a boy who has worked innumerable gruel ing hours to distinguish himself on the cinders to pass Up such an honor in the Coliseum Relays? This is big time track in an area where all collegiate track is big league. And when they plan a sports program in Los Angeles, they really do it up right. It was in the Coliseum where the first 4- minute mile was broken in the United States. It was on the same track where the fastest mile was run in America. That was the 3:57.8 clipped off by Aussie Herb Elliott in last year's Relays. The Penn State entries in the California track fiesta were among the very few chosen from the East. The fact that they are regarded highly enough for the Coliseum Commission to' be willing to stand the expense of transporting them across the country is in itself a trib4te to the men and their coach, Chick Werner. A few years ago when Arnie Sowell roamed the Panther cin ders both Pitt and Penn State were represented at the Coliseum, but it did not interfere with their dual meet. Maybe this is an indication of another answer for the hurt feelings eminating from the Steel City. This past winter it was expected in certain track circles that Pitt's mile relay team would also receive an invitation to the Pacific shores in May. Some of the Panther runners joked with the Lion thinclads when they were traveling the indoor circuit togeher, saying, "There won't be anybody left to run our dual meet this spring if we all go out to California." Evidently the Pony Express did not reach Pittsburgh. And it may be that that lavender tint on the Allegheny waters may be caused by the wine of overripe fruit. In any case it seems an unfair adjudictation on Moran, Engel brink, King, Schwab, Davies and the Penn State coaches to even suggest that they forego the opportunity and the honor of running in the Coliseum Relays merely to participate in a dual meet which can be won even without them. Perhaps some overzealous Pittsburgh sportswriters rate- a gen tlemanly but smart rap across the cranium to channel their thoughts to the best interests of the boys who - do the work rather than the fans who sit back and are ente DuMars Most Valuable Teammates named Mark Du- Mars as Penn State's most valu able basketball player for 19511-59.
