Norman Will Return
To Lineup Saturday
Gerry Norman, Penn State's leading distance runner,
will return to the lineup against Navy at Beaver Field Sat
urday after sitting out the Quantico Relays with a nine-inch
spike wound.
Last Saturday Norman had the final four stitches re-
moved from the gash he received
in an exhibition match at Ft. Lee,
Va., over the Easter vacation. He's
been working out with the team
this week in preparation for Navy.
The English-bred runner said
he was in fair shape, "but not
the way I'd like to be."
Fair shape or not, Norman's re
turn couldn't have come at a bet
ter time.
Navy is undefeated in two tri
angular mets so far, beating Pitt
and Georgetown two weks ago
and Quantico and Morgan State
last week.
The Middies boast one of the
top shot-put trios in the nation
(three men over 50 feet) plus
a crew of good hurdlers.
State, on the other hand, is
weak in the hurdles and even
weaker in the shot-put.
Last year Navy stopped Penn
State's 10-meet winning streak
with a 68 1 / 2 -62 1 / 2 victory at An
napolis.
The Lions won most of the
running events but Navy swept
all three places in five events

Sophomores Help Bolster
Nittany Baseball Hopes
By JOHN MORRIS
This is supposed to be a re
building year for the Penn
State baseball team, and if his
sophomores keep up their
present pace Joe Bedenk will
be considered quite an architect.
Bedenk has eight returning let
termen, but half of his veterans
are pitchers the Nittanies'
strong point.
"We've got some holes to fill."
Bedenk said before the 3-2 win
over Gettysburg in the opener,
"and some of our kids will have
to come through."

vault, 120-high hurdles discus
for a total of 45 points.
State lost pole vault er
Dick Gross through graduation
but sophomore Ciro Risoldi and
the return of veteran Ron Beard
more than make up for the loss.
Risoldi hit 13-6 in indoor com
petition this year and Beard, out
last year with injuries, tied for
fifth at Quantico by clearing the
same height.
Bob Grantham is the top
Lion entry in the broad jump
and high hurdles. Bill Snow and
Bill Simon are the top shot
putters.
Jim Schwab (javelin) and Jon
Musser (discus) give State two
potential point-getters in the
weight events but Werner expects
the Lions to get most of their
points in the running events Sat
urday.
Norman heads a solid crew of
distance runners and Bob Brown
solidified his position as one of
the best sprinters in the East with
his 9.4 clocking at Quantico.
who won't give an inch,"
"Bronco," as Bedenk calls
him, has been the Lions' leadoff
man in both games this season.
He has three hits in seven of
ficial trips.
First base was expected to be
another trouble spot.
Sophomore Bob Rodenhaver has
started both games at first, and
Bedenk gives him a chance to de
velop into a top-notch first sacker.
"He's a good gloveman," Be
denk said, "and his hitting will
improve."
Tom Shaffer also saw action
at first base in both games, turn
ing in creditable performances.
Shaffer is listed as a pitcher on
the roster and splits his practice
time between the mound and first.
Two other sophomores bolster
the already strong mound corps.
Bob Fenton, a left hander
built along the lines of Ed Kik
la, could see a lot of action this
season.
Fenton pitched one inning in
relief against Villanova, giving
up an unearned run.
Pitching Coach Chuck Medlar
predicts a good future for the be
spectacled sophomore.
"He has come along real well
for us," Medlar said. "He could
help us a lot."
Ed Giegucz, a lanky righthand
er, is another promising pitching
F_ .aspect.
But with the overflow talent
lon the pitching staff, he probably
won't see much action this year.

Injured List
Takes Toll
Of Big Stars
NEW YORK (/1 1 ) The base
ball season is only 10 days old but
the injury jinx already has sent
big names like Duke Snider, Har
mon Killebrew and Charley Neal
to the sidelines.
Snider was put out of action for
a month or so when he was struck
by a pitch Monday night and suf
fered a cracked bone above his
right elbow. The fact that Snider
was hit by the first pitch of his
next at bat after hitting a home
run prompted the Los Angeles
brass to complain to league head
quarters.
Neal, also of the Dodgers, also
was put out of action in Monday's
game when he aggravated an old
knee injury.
Killebrew of the Minnesota
Twins pulled a hamstring muscle
in his left thigh while running
to first base in a game last Satur
day.
Don Lee, who figured to he one
of the Twins' starting pitchers,
suffered a broken finger on his
right hand when hit by a line
drive in an exhibition game. He
still is out of action.
Boston has been struggling
along without Frank Malzone at
third base. Malzone's right foot
was injured before the season
opener.
Cleveland has Dick Stigman on
the disabled list and Baltimore's
Hank Foiles is just coming around
after a finger ♦vas broken in spring
training.

Hot Terp Netmen
Down Nittanies, 7-1
Sp►eeiai to the Collegian
College Park, Md., April 19
—Penn State ran into a hot
Maryland tennis squad on a
cold and windy day here this
afternoon and ended up on the
short end of a 7-1 score.
The Lions, who didn't come
close to victory in two previous
attempts this season, didn't change
their script today,
Again, State could manage
only one victory out of six
singles matches. Two doubles
victories for the Terps corn
pleted
the scoring. The third ;
doubles match was cancelled I
due to the poor weather con
ditions.
Whit Gray saved the netters
from a shutout. The improving
junior, playing in the number five
position, defeated Bob Myers, 10-8,
4-6, 6-2.
In a mild upset. Captain John
Blanck, the only Lion to win a
singles match in the two pre
vious defeats, lost to Chuck Sha
piro, 6-3, 6-3.
Blanck's baseline attack, suc
cessful in his first two matches,
failed to rattle the Maryland vet
eran.
Jim Baker. State's number
one man, lost his third straight
match, 6-2, 6-4. The erratic Bak
er was completely befuddled by
