PAGE SIX Lack of Games Lions' Playoff Navy practically clinched a bid to the NCAA District 2 playoffs with its 4-3 win over Penn State Tuesday, and the Lions aren’t out of contention yet. The Middies (18-0) have the top record in the East, but might not accept a bid to play in the District playoffs unless they beat traditional rival Army in their last regular season game. Joe Bedenk's Niitanies (4-2) have played only six games compared with Navy's 18, and their inactivity could affect chances for a bid. ■‘We’ve got a good chance to make Ihe District playoffs if we get some games under our belts,” Bedenk said. The Lions have been weathered out of six games, but they could qualify ior ihe playoffs and a pos sible trip to the College World Scries in Omaha, Neb., by doing well in the ten remaining con tests. "Right now I'd say that Col gate, Villanova, Delaware and, of course. Navy are ihe leading teams in Ihe East." Bedenk said yesterday as the Lions worked out on Beaver Field. “We don’t really know how good we are,” he said, "and we won’t know until we start playing regu larly.” Slate goes from one extreme to the other. Tomorrow’s game at Colgate is the first of seven games in an eight day period. The Niitanies travel to Syra cuse for a doubleheader with the Orange Saturday, then re turn home tor twinbills with Buckneil and Pittsburgh May 18 and 20. Bedenk hopes that the tight schedule will help some of the Nittany power swingers regain their batting eyes. “Regular play would help all of our players," Bedenk said, “but it will really help heavy hitters like (Al) Gursky and (John) Phil lips get started." Seven games in eight days is a strain on any pitching staff, but Bedenk has the pitchers. Tom Dm bin will probably start on the hill against the Red Raiders with Isd Kikla and Bob Fenton ready for the Orange.
