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,

By RON SMITH
Penn State's freshman track
team, led by the three firits of

Betz for the second spot in the
220. Both covered the distance
in 24 seconds.
While Dick Engelbrink was
busy breaking the Penn State
varsity 2-mile record, his mile
record for Penn State freshmen,
which he set in 1957, was broken
by a .2 of a second when Moor
head clicked off a fast 4:17.3. 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.

and Larry DiClerico will fill
in the two remaining slots.
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

all season. Dave Erwin and Mike

two starting positions.

for the Lions.

The most thrilling race of the
afternoon came in the mile re- I
lay where the Lions' Joule, Cun
ningham. Miller, and Moorhead
won a very close race in 3:28.6.
Moorhead finished just a neck
ahead of Cornell's McSweeney.
The Bears' time was 3:28.6.
The Lion frosh dominated the
field events, losing only one first'
place. High-jumper Jerry Wett

Gene Wettstone, topped the var
sity height by winning with a,
6'2" jump.
Penn State's only sweep of the
day came in the shot put where

Pigossi finished one, two, and
three. Snow's winning heave was
44' 3.
Simon came back to win the
discus event, hurling the plat

throw took second. Penn State's
Nned Cole and Dave Maize both
cleared 11' to tie for the first in

PITTSBURGH SPORTSWRITERS BLAST TBACKMEN
It seems a few Pittsburgh sportswriters became a little ruffled
(last week after the announcement that five of the Nittany Lion
track stars, namely. 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
