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

"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.

LINCOLN THOUGHT
A HUNDRED YEARS AHEAD
Abraham Lincoln was prophetic on many issues
facing us today. 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.

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
