WELL LET'S SEE NOW—Veteran Penn State baseball coach Joe Bedenk ponders tense moment during Wednesday's Penn State-Bucknell game. The Lion
coach, now 62, has been head man at Penn State for the last 31 years and has a record of 389 wins and 147 losses

Veteran Coaches Match Wits
In Beaver Field Game at 2:30
The two grand old men of
collegiate baseball, Joe Be
denk of Penn State and Burt
Shipley of Maryland, will
match wits today at 2:30 when
the Terps meet the Nittany
Lions on Beaver Field.
Shipley is in his 37th year as
head coach at College Park while
Bedenk has logged 31 years for
Penn State.
Bedenk ranks as one of the
most successful college coaches of
all time, having won 389 games
against 147 losses, but this year
has been a big disappointment.
Ranked sixth in the countat
in preseason polls, his Lions
have won only seven games in
12 outings far below what the
experts predicted for a team
that went to the College World
Series a year ago.

Tompion Still Favored
In 86th Kentucky Derby
By JOHN CHANDLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. VP) Tompion, a Kentucky colt raced
mainly in sunny California, remained a slight favorite last
night over Bally Ache, hero of Florida's 3-year-old races,
in today's 86th running of /the Kentucky Derby.
The 1 1 / 4 -mile run for the roses at Churchill Downs will be
televised and broadcast nation
ally (CBS) with TV time 4:15-
4:45 p.m., EST, and radio from
4:30-4 . 45 p.m.
Tompion is a son of Torn Fool
and is owned by C. V. (Sonny)
Whitney. He is rated the 7-5 fa
vorite. Bally Ache fiom Leonard
Fruchtman's Stable is 2-1 but
track conditions, with a wet one
favoring Bally Ache, would set
the true odds.
Originally these two were to
have opposed a dozen others.
But a cold forced the Califor

Two other question marks
clouded the final hectic hour, be

jamboree. Trainer Jimmy Jones
said there was less than a 50-50
chance that the Calumet Farm's
,Hillsborough would start, and
there was some uncertainty about
Fighting Hodge, another Califor
nia-bred colt.
Fighting Hodge is owned by
Mrs. C. S. Hodge of Canoga Park,
Calif.
Her husband and trainer, Carl
Hodge, wants rain and a soft
track, and was playing it cozy
with an eye pointed at the weath

the derby program.

Bally Ache's trainer, Jimmy
