SATURDAY, MAY 13. 1961 Hetmen Host Syracuse In 'Crossroads' Match Penn State’s tennis team finds itself at the crossroads of the season as the Lions face Syracuse this afternoon at 2 on the Jordan Courts. The Nittanies, 2-6 this year, need four straight victories to finish with a .500 log. ★ ★ ★ So far this year Sherm Fogg's nellers have played below pre season expectations. With four two-year lettermen and last year's number one man, Jim Baker, returning, Penn State's 1961 tennis future looked bright. But the Lions were hampered by poor weather conditions early in the year and lost their first thiee matches. Then when they finally appeared to be rounding into condition, Baker pulled a chest muscle. Now the Lions need a minor miracle to finish at 6-6. After Syracuse, State must face West Virginia, Army, and Cornell. The Nittanies shut out the Mountaineers last season but were soundly whipped by both Army and Cornell, two perennial eastern powers. Before they worry about future matches the Lions must get past Syracuse. Tennis isn’t a ‘•major" sport at either school, but the, Lions and Orange are traditional! rivals in the court sport. i The Orangemen, who didn’t ; play State last year, have a team 1 that Coach Gene Garrett _ rates! stronger than last year's 2-7 squad. Syracuse and State have Ramos Stars In Twins' Win ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS f/P) —Pitcher Pete Ramos abandoned his switch-hitting tactics yester day and drove in three runs in the Minnesota Twins’ 5-4 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. The Cuban hurler, who says he; is hitting right-handed to take; advantage of the wind blowing; toward left field, poled his first; homer of the season to tie the; score at 3-3 in the fifth inningj. and singled home the winning; runs in the sixth. Three walks preceded Ramos' single. Ramos also turned in a top notch pitching performance, strik ing out eight in running his sea son record to 3-2. He needed ninth inning relief from Rav Moore aft er Earl Avcrill led off the frame with his sixth season homer. Ken Hunt’s fifth home run of the season with Leon Wagner aboard gave the Angels a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. It was the first hit of the game. CLEVELAND (iP) Jim Gen tile drove in two runs v ith his 10th homer and Brooks Robinson got three singles in four trips to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the Cleveland In dians last night. Gentile’s fourth-inning clout gave him the American League home run lead and boosted bis league-leading RBI total to 35. The victory went to Jack Fish er. who finished strong to win his first game in three decisions. The 22-year-old right-hander gave up six hits in tho first four innings, then retired 14 batters in a row before Jim Piersall reached first: base on a throwing error by short-1 stop Jerry Adair in the ninth. | MOTHER'S DAY BREAKFAST Sunday —8:30 a.m. Wesley Foundation 256 E.
