FRIDAY. APRIL 7. 1961 Baseballers Stop Kikla Notches 13 By JOHN MORRIS Last year Penn State's highly rated baseball team staggered to a 9-9 record and much of the blame went to poor fielding and a lack of clutch hitting. But if the Lions' 3-2 win at Gettysburg Wednesday is any in dication of things to come, this year should be a different story. State combined a perfect _de fense and timely _ hitting with the clutch pitching of Ed Kikla to beat the Bullets. •• • Lion coach Joe , Bedenk was ;-; pleased with the hitting and Kik la's hurling, but was even hap- ri Shi pier about the ,47 Nittanies'play -1; 1 in the field. "It was a pretty good showing Ed Kikla for an opening game,'! Bedenk said, "I was really pleased with Our defense—we didn't make any errors. "As for Eddie 'Kikla, he pitched real well," Bedenk said.

Nowhere more than when he said: "In all that .the people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere." But today, the U.S. government runs thou sands of "businesses." As one example, take the electric light and power business, where the federal government has already spent more than $5,000,000,000 of taxpayers' money. And pressure groups want it to spend billions more. Yet independent electric light and power companies like yours are able and ready to supply all the low-price electricity America will need ... without depending on your tax money. WEST PENN POWER owned by people, not by government lowed only three hits and three walks while posting his initial win. in addition, the senior southpaw scored the winning run on third sacker Don Robinson's single in the top of the ninth. He reached first after an inter ference call on Bullet catcher Earl Little. Kikla moved to sec ond on an infield out and then romped home when Robinson de livered to left. Ken•Fruchter opened the scor ing for the Bullets in the first inning. The lanky first baseman lined a two•out Ijkla offering over the fence to give the Bullets a 1-0 lead. Kikla settled down, bat the Lions couldn't score off Bruce Simpson until the top of the fifth. State tied the count in that frame on a two-out single by sec ond-baseman Bart Brodkin. Al Gursky led off the inning with a double down the left= field line, but Simpson retired fist sacker Tom Shaffer and Kikla. Then Brodkiii; who Bedenk rates as a "real hustler," came through to drive Gursky across with the tying run. The Lions grabbed a 2-1 lead in the sixth on a triple to center by THE DAILY CO►.LEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Bullets, 3-2; Strikeouts Dick Pae and a wild pitch by loser Ted Koerner.
