Baseballers Meet Colgate
In Opener of Road Trip
Penn State travels to Colgate this afternon for the opener
of an all-important three game road trip that may determine
just where the Nittanies stand in the East this year.
Joe Bedenk’s Lions (4-2) looked impressive in their
four wins and gave unbeaten Navy a scare before bowing,
4-3, Tuesday on the Middies’ ★ ★ ★
home grounds.
But Bedenk won't say just
how good the Lions are, or what
their chances are for a bid to
the NCAA District 2 playoffs.
“We haven't, played enough
games to tell,” Bedenk said.
s, We’ll find out a lot this week
end ”
This afternoon's contest with
the Red Raiders and a double
header with Syracuse tomorrow
should give Bedenk a good idea
of how his Lions will fare for the
remainder of the season.
Colgate has one of the best
teams in District 2 and Joins
Syracuse, Navy. Delaware and
Villanova as the top prospects
for the four playoff berths.
The Raiders have one of the
best pitchers in the country in
Pete Smith, a fire-balling senior
righthander.
Smith compiled a 9-2 record for
last year’s 16-9 team and has
been the mainstay of the staff
this year. i
The Raiders have 15 veterans]
back from last year’s team andi
a flock of rookies combining to,
form a strong squad. :
Bedenk has decided to give
Tom Durbin the starling nod in
this afternoon’s game."
The veteran southpaw beat;
Lafayette. 3-2, last month in his'
only start of the year. I
The Lions have been rained or,
snowed out of five other games;
that Durbin was scheduled to
start. |
Bedenk revised his lineup for
the Navy game, and he will
probably stick with the new
order for today’s contest.

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.
