In Home Opener Today
By JOHN MORRIS
Penn State's baseball team
goes after its second win of
the season this afternoon
against Villanova on Beaver
Field at 2:30.
oe Bedenk's club nipped Get
tysburg, 3-2, in its opener
Wednesday behind Ed Kikla's
three-hit pitching.
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.

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.
Washington, with a new club,
jumps the gun Monday when
Mickey Vernon's Senators take on
the Chicago White Sox in the
presidential opener. 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.
The Washington game will be
the only contest in the majors
Monday. On Tuesday, the others
will start their season.
'S' Club to Meet
The varsity "S" Club will meet
at 10 p.m. Sunday at Sigma Pi.
Nominations for elections will be
held.

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.

momentarily before Palmer bird

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.
