the game was calle because of
the poor playing co ditions.
Due to the washo t, the Lions
lost valuable grow d in their
desperate bid for District II
playoff berth. The district selec
tion committee is scheduled to
meet in Scranton Monday to
pick the four teams who will
battle for a trip to Omaha and
- the College World Series.
The Lions won th 4 playoff last
year and finished fourth in the
Series.
State (9-6) now has four games
left including the home finale at
Beaver Field against Temple to
morrow afternoon, A Idoublehead
er with Pitt Saturday and a single
game at Delaware next Thursday
round out the schedule.
Temple is one of many teams
with a chance for the playoffs.
Coach Skip Wilson's boys have
a 15-5 mark and boast two of
the top pitchers in the East—
Don Flynn and Jim Craig.
Craig has a 5-2 record to date
while Flynn has recorded a 7-2
mark.
In addition the Owls have a
strong offensive attack, led by
All-American basketball player
Bill Kennedy. Kennedy Is just as
good in baseball flannels and is
Temple's top RBI man. He's hit
ting .310 and rates as an excel
lent centerfielder,
In addition to Kennedy, the
Owls can rely on second baseman
Herb Gordon (ZOO) and shortstop
Nick Stampone (.320) for added
power.
As of yesterday,, Lion coach
Joe Bedenlc was planning to use
either Dave Bergey (1-0) or Eddie
Ktkla (2-5) against Temple.
Bergey has looked very good
in his first two outings this sea
son. Sidelined with an infected
finger for the first half of the
campaign, he made his first ep
perance against Maryland 10
days ago and pitched no-hit

Kuenn Holds
Wide Edge
Over Rocky
NEW YORK (VP) —The first
monthly return is in on the
most discussed baseball play
er trade of 1960 and the fig
ures so far point to a decision
for Harvey Kuenn over Rocky
Colavito and vindication for Frank
Lane, Cleveland's general man
ager.
Lane was verbally spanked by
many Cleveland fans April 17 for
dealing Colavito, the American
League home run king, to De
troit fdr Kuenn, the batting cham
pion.
However, after a month in their ;
new uniforms, Kuenn shows a
batting average of .319 while Co-i
lavito has been held hitless in 10;
of Detroit's 21 games. He has only'
three hits in the last 25 times at!
bat, a .120 pace.
Kuenn has 23 safeties in 72 at!
bats. Colavito has 14 hits in 80
trips. Rocky does hold the edge,
where expected—in home runs!
land runs batted in. He has four
homers, including a game-winner
against Washington on May 10,
and 11 RBI. Kuenn's first homer:
won Sunday's nightcap against'
the Chicago White Sox Harvey
has seven RBI.
The Indians are in a virtual tie
with New York for third place
'with a 13-10 record. Detroit, with
la 9-12 mark, is sixth.

N ''lters 6 ained Out,
Meet W.Va. Today
The Penn State tennis team meets West Virginia this
afternoon at 3:30 after being rained out of Saturday's match
with Syracuse
"We might have beaten Syracuse," said Lion coach Sherm
Fogg and the netters hope to take their disappointment out on
the unsuspecting Mounties today. * * *
West Virginia has some plans
of its own on the outcome of the
meet. The Nittanies soundly
trounced the Mounties last -year,
9-0, and coach Rue! Foster's boys
are out to see that it doesn't hap
pen again.
But Fosttr doesn't have much
to work with and the win-hum•
gn:y Lions figure to triumph
without too much trouble.
The Mountaineers boast only
one returning letterman after los
ing the top two men by graduation
and haying four other letter-win
ners drop out of school.
Dan Taylor. number three man
last year, heads Foster's stai ting
lineup. The star junior will go
against the Lions' Jim raker.
After Taylor, Foster will have
to go with sopohomores. It's a
toss-up as to who will start, but
Bob Hare, Boyd Warner and
Bill Schaeffer all figure to see
some action.
Following Baker in the Lion
lineup will be captain Jerry Carp.
Carp started off the year as num
ber one man but gave way to the
ever-improving Baker after the
second meet of the year.
Johnny Blanck has moved up
to the third spot for the Mountie
meet. Blanck, at 5-4, has the only
winning record on the team.
Fogg has dropped junior Dick
Ludwig out of the singles, but
the veteran netter will probably
see action in the second or third
doubles matches.
Four netmen are in the pic
hire for the fourth and fifth
spots in the lineup. Senior John
Krell and juniors Vance Rea,
Garry Moore and Don McCart
ney could get the call, and, ac
cording to Fogg, the two who
don't see singles action will
probably play doubles.
Sophomore John Coldren will
break into the singles lineup for
the first time. Coldren has shown
I a lot of fire in practice and earned
a chance against the Mounties.
Carp and Blanch will team up
as the number one doubles duo,
but the other four doubles' slots
are up for grabs.
Vereb Signs With 'Skins
WASHINGTON (/P)—The Wash
ington Redskins have signed Ed
Vereb, former University of
Maryland halfback.
Vereb, who was the Redskins'
No. 1 draft pick in 1956, has play
ed football the past three years
with Vancouver in the Canadian
League.
