, 10 , Amiow 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.

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 -nia-bred Henrijan out late yes terday. Two other question marks clouded the final hectic hour, be fore America's colorful julep 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 er. Hillsborough and Fighting Hodge are entered at least tenta tively for races earlier today on the derby program. Showers sprinkled the Louis- * * * * * * vale area yesterday, but were scheduled to stop overnight. Partly cloudy skies with 70. degree temperature was the derby day forecast. Bally Ache's trainer, Jimmy Pitt, wants rain. His horse skipped over an off track last Saturday to beat Venetian Way handily in the Stepping Stone purse at the Downs. . KEEP MOM HAPPY!
