"Yep, the old pig-belly (Be denk has a different name for everything) went with the sta dium. Now we have to go in there to keep warm," he said pointing to the building where the ice skaters converge. One of Penn State’s greatest athletes, Bedenk is in his 30th year as head baseball coach and it's no secret that this could be his best. The old warhorse has a habit of turning out top teams and last season the Lions finished fourth in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Bedenk has lost only three men from that team and some outstanding sophomore pros pects are the reasons for the optimistic altitude at the Lion camp. “Sophomores, we’ve got mil lions of them,” Bedenk answered Basketball Scores NBA Detroit 117.

He was an outstanding football player dur ing his undergraduate days here and made Walter Camp's All- American team in 1923. He served as assistant football coach under Bob Higgins for many years and took over as head coach in 1949 when Higgins retired. Bedenk gave up his grid job in 1950 to concentrate on baseball. He’s had great teams in recent years and his 1957 squad went undefeated before los : ng to Cali fornia in the College world series. 1960 Schedule- Apr. 6, Gettysburg; 9.
