PENNSYLVANIA LaX Team Seeks Upset Over Lehigh By DEAN BILLICK Any faint hopes the Penn State lacrosse team is nutur ing for an even won-loss rec ord this season go on the line this afternoon at Bethlehem, Pa. The Lions, who own a 1-3 rec ord, still have a chance for an even chart and today’s game against Lehigh could be the turn ing point. “If we beat Lehigh we have an excellent chance for a 5-5 record,” Coach Earnie Baer said yesterday. Tomorrow the Lions face a winless Swarthmore team and Tuesday meet Gettysburg, an other team that has yet to win. The stickmen close out their season against a weak Colgate team. However, Lehigh will be a tough hurdle for the Lions. The Engi neers own a 6-1 record and have won their last five- games. The return of Tom Hayes to the lineup boosts State’s chances for a win. Hayes, who is the lead ing scorer with 14 goals, sat out last Saturday’s loss to Syracuse with a bad charley horse. Trainer Chuck Medlar called Hayes’ charley horse one of the three worst he has ever seen. A special fiberglass protective pad has been made to cover the in jury and Hayes should be able to play at full speed. Baer will use Dave Erwin, Tom Ogden and Lockhart at defense, Lou Meier, Hayes and Raiser at midfield and Dick Seelig, Steve [Schrader and Pete Erber at at tack. Jim Irwin gets the call in the nets.
