Lion Baseballers
Tough Mounties
Joe Bedenk's baseball Lions better make sure they keep
their hitting shoes on when they meet West Virginia this
afternoon in the second part of their 3-game road trip.
The Nittanies (3-1) smacked out 11 hits at Maryland
Monday in dropping the TerpS, 5-3, behind Ed Kikla.
But Bedenk thinks the Lions
should have saved some of that
hitting for today.
"West .Virginia will be tough
et home," Bedenk said.
State may need all the hitting
heroics it can muster against
Steve Harrick's talent-laden
Mounties.
Harrick lost only four men off
last year's 17-9 squad and the
Mountaineers have been pound
ing the ball all year.
Bedenk will, probably give the
job of cooling oft the Mountain
eers' bats to either Marlin Bie
seeker or Tom Durbin.
Biesecker (0.1) lost to Villa
nova, but the lanky righthand
or was the victim of some poor
fielding by the Lions.
The Nittanies, committed eight
miscues in the 9-6 fiasco, five of
them during Biesecker's 4 1 / 2 in
nings on the mound.
Durbin 41-0) beat Lafayette,
3-2, last Saturday in a game
called at the end of 4 1 / 2 innings

5-2 Decision
To Villanova
Special to the Collegian
Villanova, Pa., April 25
Villanova won its eighth match
against only one loss this sea
son with a 5-2 victory over
the Penn State golfers here
this afternoon.
The meet was highlighted by a
24-hole match between the Lions'
Rich Gilison and Fred Mazzi.
Gilison, who has developed
a habit of extra hole matches
(he was beaten in the West
Virginia match on the 20th
hole), had an opportunity to win
on the 18th but he three-putted
and finally lost on the 24th.
Lion Captain John Morton
bounced back from a loss in the
Pitt match to beat Dave Doyle,
2 and 1.
Morton was the Lion medalist,
firing a 73.
Bob Rutherford, who had won
his last three matches, was beaten
2 up by Joe Bilder.
Tom Balling, the Lions' third
man, lost 3 and 2 to John Dris
coll.
Bob Stvahn was losing 1-up
going into the last hole when he
put the pressure on Wildcat
Charles Barr. Barr had to sink
a 6-foot putt to keep the match
from going extra holes and gain a
1-up victory.
Kevin Boyle was the Villanova
medalist. He shot a 71 to defeat
Dave Miller 7 and 6.
Jack Meredith played fine
pressure golf for a come from
behind 1-up win over Villa
nova's. Tom Cooke.
Meredith was 1 down after the
16th. He birdied the 17th to even
the match and then got a spec
tacular birdie on the 18th when
he holed out a 30-yard approach
shot.
Boyle said that if . the Lion
linksmen would have gotten a
few breaks they could have won
the match.
State's record now stands at 2-3.
Summary
Morton (PS) defeated Doyle. 2 and 1. 1
Miller (V 1 defeated Rutherford, 2-up, :
Driscoll (V) defeated Balling. 3 and 2.1
Maui (V) defeated Gilison, 1-up (24

Conley Posts Win
In Ist Appearance
BOSTON (W) Gene Conley;
fresh from his labors with basket
ball's Boston Celtics, was staked
to a 4-0 lead in the second inning
yesterday and went on to a 6-1
seven-hit victory over Washing
ton in his debut with the Boston
Red Sox.
The 6-8 right-hander, who
helped the Celtics to their third
straight National Basketball As
sociation championship on 1 y
weeks ago, struck out four and
walked four in his first Red Sox
start. He was acquired from Phil
adelphia in a straight player
swap for Frank Sullivan last win
ter.
Lion Stickmen Face
Winless Big Red
Penn State and Cornell, two lacrosse teams that are still
trying to get on their feet, meet this afternoon in Ithaca, N.Y.
Cornell is winless after two games and the Lions are 1-2.
State beat Loyola, 17-4, but lost to Penn, 10-8, and Navy, 16-5.
The stickmen will be trying to rebound after Saturday's
heartbreaking overtime loss to
Penn. Lion Coach Bernie Baer
called it "the toughest loss since
I have been coaching at Penn
State."
The Big Red had one of their
best teams in history last year
and ripped State. 12-3.
However, Cornell has been hav
ing its share of trouble this year.
The Big Red was beaten 9-5 by
Harvard and lost last weekend to
Dartmouth, 8-4. Two other games
have been cancelled due to bad
weather.
In an exhibition game two
weeks ago, Cornell whipped Loy
ola, 10-2.
The Big Red have only four
lettermen in their starting line
up. Captain John Beeby leads
an all-senior midfield. Dan Sim
mons and Denny French are
the two other starters.
French, who is only 5-7. scored
three goals against the Lions last
year. The pintsized midfielder is
a two-time letterwinner.
Richard Gibson gives Cornell a
strong replacement at midfield.
Gibson leads the team in scoring
with three goals:
At attack. Coach Jim Smith
will start senior Robin Bissell
and two sophomores. Webb
Nichols and Tom Beeby.
Cornell's top player, Dave Furg
son, heads the defense. Sopho
mores Ed Burnap and Don Wat
son are the two other Big Red
defensemen.
Mike Gatje, a senior letter
winner, is Cornell's starting
goalie.
The Lions will use the same
lineup that started against
Loyola and Penn. Again, sopho
mores Tom Hayes and Dick
Seelig will lead the Nittany of
fense. Hayes and Seelig lead
the scoring parade with 9 and
8 goals respectively.
Coach Baer expects the Lions
to score more goals than they did
against Penn. "Cornell plays a
fast man-to-man defense, which
leads to a faster, higher scoring
game than the Penn type zone
defense," Baer said yesterday.
