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.
Fenton, a curve-balling sopho
more. earned a starting nod with
a brilliant Iwo-hif relief effort in
the O’h innings he pitched against
Navv.

Sonny Liston, yesterday
named George Katz his new
manager with the indirect bless

his Senate investigating commit

Katz pledged to get Liston a ti
tle fight with champion Floyd
Patterson.
‘‘l do not believe,” said Katz,
a fight manager in these parts
since 1928, ‘‘that there should be
any obstacle in my procuring for
Sonny Liston his rightful oppor
tunity to obtain the match with
Floyd Patterson for the heavy
weight championship.”
Liston told a news conefrence
that with Katz as his manager he
had in effect ‘‘cleaned his house”
of what the Senate committee and
Patterson described as an unde
sirable element in the challen

Colgate's Court Control
Baffles Nittany Netters
By JIM WELSH
Colgate’s steady and unspec
tacular attack outclassed a
frustrated Penn State tennis
iteam yesterday on the Jordan
Courts, 9-0.
The mastermind of Colgate’s
unusual style is Coach Perry
Rockafellow, who prior to this
year had coached his teams to
293 wins in 374 starts over a 25-
year span.
Rocka fellow
has a single ex
planation for his
fantastic success.
‘‘From the first
day of practice
my players drill
on returning the
ball,” he says.
“We start at a
given goal of
consecutive re
turns and grad

"Our idea is that if we keep
returning the ball, sooner or
later the opposing player will
be forced into a mistake."

the entire match. State’s Whit

closest to capturing a set. The be

He held leads of 5-2 in the*

Doo came back to nip the Lion

Jim Baker, who returned to his
number one slot after missing
two matches, was outlasted by
Wade Rockafellow, 6-4, 6-0.
