The Wildcats are a perennial power in eastern baseball. Last year they compiled a 15-4 record and gained a play-off berth in the NCAA tournament. Marlin Biesecker gets the nod from Bedenk this afternoon in what may be one of the tough est games of the year for the Lions. Biesecker, a hard - throwing righthander who posted a 3-2 rec ord as a sophomore last year, has looked impressive in practice. The Lions played errorless ball against the Bullets but a major change may be expected in the lineup for this afternoon's game. Tom Shaffer started the Get- Phil? Roberts Will Tie Record NEW YORK (/P) New play ers come and old players go in a 35 per cent starting lineup shuffle since the start of last year's big league baseball season. But Robin Roberts goes on forever as the Phillies' opening day pitches. Roberts, still going strong at 34, will be a National League record Tuesday night when he starts his 12th successive opener for Phila delphia at Los Angeles. He will share the record held by the late C ver Cleveland Alexander. The Phils' talented right-hander will be two shy of the major league record of Walter Johnson who opened the Washington sea son 14 times between 1910 and 1926. Before Roberts throws a ball, the major league season will be under way on other fronts.

President Kennedy plans to attend along with 27,419 other fans. Dick Donovan (6-1 with Chi cago) will pitch for Vernon's patchwork club against Early Wynn (13-12), the 41-year-old right-hander who has won 284 bie league games.

Palmer Tied in Masters-- (Continued from page six) sunny, windy day which didn't produce as many good scores as conditions seemed to justify. Player, starting a st. behind, began half an hour ahead of Palmer and caught up with a birdie on the very first hole. From there on it was neck and neck. Palmer led at the 27-hole turn. Player drew even again with a birdie at the 31st then went ahead momentarily before Palmer bird ied the same hole.

HAPPINESS CAN'T BUY MONEY With tuition costs spiralling ever upward, more and more under graduates are investigating the student loan plan. If you are one who is considering the "Learn Now, Pay La ter"system,you would do well first to study the case of Leonid Signfoos. Leonid, the son of an upholsterer in Straitened Circum stances, Idaho, had his heart set on going to college, but his father, alas, could not afford to send him. Leonid applied for a Regents Scholarship, but. his reading speed, alas, was not very rapid—two words an hour—and before he could finish the first page of his test the Regents had closed their brief cases crossly and gone home. Leonid then applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single athletic skill balancing a stick on his chin—abd this, alas, aroused only passing enthusiasm among the coaches. And then, huzzah, Leonid learned of the student, loan plan: he could borrow money. for his tuition and repay it in easy monthly installments after he left school! Happily Leonid enrolled in the Southeastern Idaho College of Woodpulp and Restoratimi Drama and happily began a college career that grew more happy year by year. Indeed, it became altogether ecstatic in his senior year because Leonid met a coed named Salina T. Nem with hair like beaten gold and eyes like two squirts of Lake Louise. Love gripped them in its big moist palm and they were betrothed on the Eve of St. Agnes. Happily they made plans to be married the day after com mencement—plans, alas, that never were to come to fruition because Leonid, alas, learned that Salina, like himself, was in college on a student loan, which meant that he had not only to repay his own loan when he left school but also Salina's, and the job, alas, that was waiting for Leonid after graduation at the Boise Raccoon Works simply did not pay enough, alas, to cover both their loans, plus rent and food and clothing, Sick at heart, Leonid and Salina sat down and lit Marlboro Cigarettes and tried to find an answer to their problem—and, sure enough, they did! I do not know whether or not Marlboro Cigarettes helped them find an answer; all I know is that, Marlboros taste good and look good, and when things close in and a feller needs afriend and the world is black as the pit froni polo to pole, it is a heap of comfort and satisfaction to be sure that Marlboros will always provide the same unflagging pleas ure, the same unstinting quality, in all times and climes and conditions. That's all I know. Leonid and Salina, I say, did find an answer—a very simple one. If their student loans did not come due until they left school, why, then they just wouldn't leave school! So after receiving their bachelor degrees, they re-enrolled and took masters degrees. After that they took doctors degrees, loads and loads of them, until today Leonid and Salina, both aged 78, both still in school, hold doctorates in Philosophy, Humane Letters, Jurisprudence, Veterinary Medicine, Civil Engineering, Op tometry, and Dewey Decimals. Their student loans, as of last January 1, amounted to a combined total of eighteen million dollars, a sum which they probably would have found great difficulty in repaying had not the Department of the Interior recently declared them a National Park. You don't need a student loan—Just a little loose change— to grab yourself a new kind of smoking pleasure from the makers of Marlboro—the unfiltered king-size Philip Morrie , Commander. Welcome aboard! after Player sank his final birdie putt from the edge of the 18th green, the-scoreboard shoWed a birdie for Palmer on the short 16th. Player had his hard luck mo ment. too, on a near-perfect round, His tee shot at the 155-yard 12th hole bit the cup on the fly and' bounced some 15 feet away.
