Ed Abel hurled a strong
three hitter at frustrated Penn
State here today as Colgate
downed the Lions, 7-0.
The loss was the Nittanies’ sec
ond straight and dropped their
record to 4-3. The Raiders are
now 9-7.
The Lions travel to Syracuse
tomorrow to face the Orange in
a iwinbill with Ed Kikla and
Bob Fenton or Marlin Biesecker
scheduled to pitch.
State was never in today’s game
as Colgate took a 2-0 lead in the
second inning, made it 3-0 in the
fifth and iced the game with a
four run eighth.
Tom Durbin started for State
and lasted until the Raiders’ big
eighth. Durbin took the loss, even
ing his log at 1-1. Bill Saul re
lieved him in the eighth and re
tired the last two batters.
Abel (5-1) was in control all
the way, giving up just three j
walks in addition to the Lions'
three hits. The veteran right
hander struck out 14 in going j
the route for the Raiders.
Zeke DeLong produced the Nit
tanies’ only scoring threat. The
Lion captain smashed a third-in
ning drive that cleared the left
field fence, but the umpire ruled
Russian Cagers
Want Win in '64
CLEVELAND (/P) Before
he left Russia with his vic
torious all-s tar basketball
team, Coach John McLendon
was advised that things may
be different in 1964.
The Cleveland coach quoted a
Soviet official as saying, "The
United States and Russia will
meet in the finals of the 1964
Olympics at Tokyo and Russia
will win.”
If the prediction should hold up.
McLendon could take credit for
a share in a Russian victory. Dur
ing the three-week trip he con
ducted many clinics and before
he left he was fold that some of
his ideas had been put into prac
tice alreadv.
Among his suggestions for
training young Soviet basketball
ers was that less emphasis be
placed on scoring, more on re
bounds, passes and blocking.
The aii-slar team, which includ
ed Jerry Lucas of Ohio State Uni
versity and four members of
Cleveland’s championship Nation
al Basketball League team, was
undefeated on the seven-game
tour of Russia. i
If the squad didn't have much
trouble on the basketball court,'
there were other problems, and!
one of them was hospitality—too;
much hospitality.
“The Russians were so hospit-;
able that you hardly could be-j
lieve it,” McLendon said. “Finally'
we had to restrict the touring so;
our players would not be too tired;
for the games.”
Incidentally, the exchange of
information on the cage game;
was not entirely one-sided, and|
the astute coach brought homei
some ideas of his own about!
keeping ahead of the Russians. 1

that the ball bounced over.
Abel settled down to get out of
the inning, and the Lions never
threatened again.
Cenlerfielder Dick Rainka
was the big gun for the Raiders
with a three-run double in the
eighth to send Durbin to the
showers.
Durbin and third saeker Don
Robinson got the other hits for
the Lions.
Coach Joe Bedenk will prob
ably go with the same lineup for
tomorrow's pair with Syracuse.
The only possible switch is
at catcher where Galen Hall has
a chance to see action behind
the plate in the nightcap. Don
Jonas will probably work the
opener.

Golfers Vie
For Eastern
Title Today
By DAVE LEONARD
The only time a Penn State
golf team won the eastern
championship was in 1948.
That year Joe Boyle, the pres-;
ent Lion coach, was a stand
out member of the squad.
Boyle would like nothing bet
ter than to see this year’s team
duplicate that feat today at Yale.
Last year the Lion linksmen
finished third in the Easterns,
but tour of the top five men
were lost through graduation.
Boyle faced the prospects of a
grim season after the Lions drop
ped their first
two matches to
Maryland and
Navy.
But the squad
did an about
face and won
five of its last
seven contests
including a 4-3
victory over
highly regarded
Penn. This late
season spurt has
put the Lions in John Morton

Stickmen Upset
Lion
Lehigh for 2nd Win
BETHLEHEM, Pa., May 12 The Penn Stale lacrosse
team pulled off a big upset here today, whipping Lehigh, 11-9.
The Lions jumped to an early 7-1 second period lead and then
staved off the favored Engineers in. the final period to snap
a four game losing streak and up their season record to'2-5.
The Lions’ win broke Lehigh’s
five game winning slreak and
ruined the Engineers’ hopes for
the Penn-Del championship. A
win today would have given them
a sure tie for the title. The loss
was only their second of the sea
son against seven wins.
"I knew we could do if."’hap
py Captain Dave Erwin said in
the Lions' locker room. "Now
we have to beat Swarthmore
tomorrow." he added.
The Nitlanies face Swarthmore
tomorrow on the second leg of
their two game trip.
Sophomores Tom Hayes and
Steve Schrader were outstanding
in the Lion victory. Hayes fired
in four goals and Schrader added
throe more.
The four goals for Hayes
upped his season's total to 19
in six games. He is Ihe Lions'
leading scorer.
Lou Meier gave State an early
lead when he tallied with a
bouncing shot into the Lehigh
nets at 1:50. Hayes then took
over for State, scoring twice, and
the Lions had a 3-fl lead before
the period was half over.
