When assistant baseball
roach Chuck Medlar has some
thing to say, everyone listens
because "Big Stud" doesn't go
off on many dissertations in
the course of a year.
But yesterday was different
Medlar was expounding at length
about his favorite subject—Penn
State's pitchers and catchers.
And from the way he talked.
coupled with a look at past rec
pith, you get the feeling that the
Lion batterymen rank with the
best anywheie in collegiate base
ball
The number one topic of dis
cussion was southpaw Eddie
Kikla. Penn State's leading
pitcher last season.
The Lion Junior finished with
n 9-1 record and 1.46 E.R.A. last
spring and he looks even better

Kikla, who led the Lions in
strikeouts with 76 in 1959, has
everything including a blazing
fast ball, a sharp curve and good
change of pace.
In addition to Kikla, the Lions
have two other veteran lefties in
Tom Durbin and Bill Benton.
! Benton was 1-1 last year while
,Dut bin finished with a 2-1 record.
:However, both saw considerable
action when they weren't pitch
ing.
Dubin, a lightning streak on
the bases, played left field and
wound up as the Lions' leading
hitter with a 393 batting average
(22-56).
Benton played first base quite
a bit during the latter part of
the campaign and wound up
with a .333 average (14-42).

Depend on Sophs
Four sophomores are expected to be in the lineup when
the Penn State lacrosse team meets Loyola Saturday in the
1960 lidlifter at Baltimore, Md. Coach Earnie Baer expects
to start three juniors and three seniors along with the Sophs.
Baer summed up the situation
this way, "We'll be just as strong
as our sophomores and I have a
lot of confidence in these boys."
Although there are six letter
men returning, the Lions will
have to play without All-Amer
ican attackman John Behne,
the club's leading scorer last
year. But sophomore Gordon
Bennett, who has looked good
in practice, is being counted on
to step into Behne 's shoes and
supply the scoring punch.
Jim Kane, honorable mention
All-American last yea!, ietmns
to hold down the second attack
position. Battling for the third
spot are two-time letterwinner
Dirk Hammond and senior Hank
Schilling. Hammond moves to at
tack from midfield where he
played last year.
In addition to losing Behne,
the Lions also lost high scoring
Bob Swanson and veteran Lee
Herman.
Another soph, Lou Meier, is
being counted to bolster the mid
field corps and captain Dick Bul
lock is set at another spot. But
the third is up for grabs with Dick
Swam:on, Mike Raiser, Dick Jan
da, Dick Hinkle, Dick Mears, Ted
Steinman and Bud Haag battling
for the spot.
Vets Dave Erwin and Andy Mo
conyi give the Lions a good one
two punch at defense, but the
third slot is wide open. Either
Andy Lockhard, Tom Greenlee,
'Chuck, DiPuppo or Hugh Palmer
'could be the choice.
Sophomore Jim Irwin and sen
ior John Castella seem to have
the inside track on the goalie slot.

Grid Practice
Now Scheduled
For Saturday
One look at the IM football
field was enough to convince the
Penn State coaching staff that
spring grid drills should be held
off until Saturday.
The rapid thaw brought on by
spring temperatures turned the
practice area into a sea of mud,
and the coaches felt it would be
better to wait until the field dries
instead of risking injuries in the
soft turf.
Yesterday's postponement was
the third for the Nittanies this
spring. Originally practice was
scheduled for March 19, but snow
cancelled those plans and another
storm forced the second postpone
ment last week.
Saturday's practice, which is
open to the public, is set for 1:30.
