FRIDAY. MAY 5, 1961 Lions Flex In Rutgers By JOHN MORRIS Apparently . records don't impress the Penn State base ball team. At least they didn't Wednesday. The Lions played host to Rut gers Wednesday afternoon and treated their guests to one of the finest hitting shows ever seen on Beaver Field. The Scarlet came into the game with a 7-2-1 record, in cludirsg a 2-0 win over Villa nova, but the Nlnudes must not read the papers. Joe Bedenk's baseballers banged out 16 hits and tagged Rutgers with a 15-12 defeat. Rutgers had been the only team to defeat Villanova this year. The Baker to Miss Bucknell Match; Golfers at Penn By JIM WELSH The Penn State tennis team minus star Jim Baker will face Bucknell on the Bisons' courts today while the Lion golfers travel to Philadelphia to meet Penn, the defending Ivy League Champion. Baker, who has won his last two matches and apparently over come his early season slump, was hospitalized Wednesday with a pulled chest muscle. "I don't know how long he'll be out of action," said Coach She= Fogg. "and even when he returns he may not be able to regain his old form." Baker's loss will cause a ser ious revamping in State's lineup. Only Vance Rea (number 3) and Don McCartney (number 4) will retain their usual positions. Captain John Blanck moves in to the vacated number 1 slot and Dwight Moore will replace Blanek in the number 2 position. Whit Gray and John Coldren round out the singles lineup at the fifth and sixth positions. In the doubles matches, the duos of Rea-Moore and McCart ney-Don Benner will move up a slot to 1 and 2 and Coldren-Blanck will play number 3. The netters will be seeking their second win of the year while Joe Boyle's golfers need a win today to even their season log at 4-4. Penn finished last season with Surgeon Says Injuries Caused by Face Guards MILWAUKEE (11") The plas tic helmet and its rigid face guard are to blame for a rising inci dence of serious or fatal brain and spinal cord injuries to football players, a University of Michigan neurosurgeon told the State Medi cal Society of Wisconsin. Dr. Richard C. Schneider told the group's annual meeting that 14 of the 18 football deaths in the country in 1959 were caused by head and spinal injuries. Schneider. said the face guard acted as a lever, forcing the play er's head back sharply when the guard was- grabbed or struck by an opponent. At the same time, he said, the hard back edge of the helmet is jammed into the neck. This sometimes dislocates or damages the spinal cord. Schneider suggested that the helmet be made of leather or soft plastic and that the face guard be shortened or abandoned. Bob Brown, holder of Penn State's 100-yard dash record will shoot for his third straight IC4A victory in that event this spring.
