Baseball Squad
Loses, :Improves
By RON KOLB
Assistant Sports Editor
When baseball coach Chuck Medlar took
his 22-man squad down to Florida last week,
he knew he'd be facing teams like Florida
State and Wake Forest in the Florida State
Invitational Tournament. Ite also knew the
games would be like scrimmages matching
green rookies against seasoned veterans.
. The rookies from University Park weren't
exactly rookies as far as service is concerned.
Many had returned from last year's 16-8-1
team, also- having played in the NCAA Dis
trict 2 Playoffs.
However, as far as this year's preparation
was concerned, they were rookies. A month's
work in the ice pavilion, without competition
or Florida sunshine, was limited by space and
in value. What they gained by beating the
weather they lost in experience.
They Played Before
On the other hand, the Southern teams
were well into their regular seasons, and
when the Lions got off the plane last Friday
in Tallahassee, their opponents had won-lost
records in the teens.
As a result, the Lions proceeded to lose
their first five scheduled games. Spring train
ing is intended to point out mistakes and to
give the coach an opportunity to smooth down
rough edges before the regular season. When
Medlar and the squad return to Penn State
tonight, they'll haVe a good idea of what
needs smoothing before next Thursday's op
ener. Florida State, Springfield (Mass.) and
Wake Forest taught them well.
The team's first-problem appeared to be
pitching after FSU rocked three State hurlers
enroute to a 10-5 win last Saturday. Jim
Allgyer, a senior considered the key to an
other high Lion finish in the East, gave up 7
runs and 11 hits in just four innings. The
Seminoles tagged junior lefty Gary Mender
bach for the other three runs, though only
one was earned.
Hummer Was. Off
"Allgyer's fast ball wasn't working,"
Medlar said after the game. "His curve was
okay✓. Except for the five-run inning, we
played pretty well for our first game."
Allgyer, the 6-0, 180 pound hurler from
McVeytown, had a mediocre jdnior year,
finishing 3-1 in 12 games, with a 3.46 earned
run average. As -a sophomore, he sparkled
with a 6-1 record and a 1.43 ERA.
State's hitters were rather weak in the
first game, managing only six scattered
singles among six different players. In the
four-run eighth, they finally reached winner
Linn Garrett with a two-out rally. Ken Barto
scored after singles by Joe Comforto and John
Fetherstone. Dave Fore walked to lqad the
bases, Gary Kanaskie singled home two more,
and soph Mike Egleston added the final run
batted in. •
Out of Focus
Sunday's practice session focused on bat
ting and offensive setups, but in Monday's
8-3 loss to Springfield, it seemed that only
shortstop John Featherstone profited, collect
ing three hits and an RBI.
The game wasn't really as lopsided as the
score indicates, since it went 12 innings be
fore it was decided. In the final frame, the
Maroon shocked reliever Bob Absalom with
a two-run homer and a three-run double.
Most promising in the loss was senior
pitcher Denny Lingenfelter, top hurler on last
year's team with a 4-3 record and a 1.29 ERA.
"Lingenfelter looked sharper than he did
all last year," Medlar said, "He pitched five
strong innings, and he' looked sharp, giving
up only three hits." "With the exception of
Denny, we've been disappointed with the
pitching."

Wayne Burns, a 5-10 junior who could
turn into a starter on the mound, deserved a
better fate. Springfield scored two unearned
runs in the seventh 'to send the game into
extra innings, marring an otherwise fine five
inning performance.
In the hitting department, Featherstone
was backed by outfielder Dick Dreher, who
had two hits, and Gary Kanaskie and. Dave
Fore, with one each.
Fore had been a question mark defens
ively this season, moving from right field to
catcher, while no one doubted his hitting
ability. In Florida, the hits have been scarce,
but Medlar said, "Dave's doing a good, job
behind the plate." Now all the slugger (.310
last year) has to do is put his talents together.
In the first half of a Tuesday day-night
doubleheader, the Lions lost another game
(5-0 to Springfield), but they gained a pitcher.
In a six-inning stint, sophomore righthander
81l Micsky, from Richeyville, gave up only
three hits and one run. Frank Spaziani yield
ed the other four in a relief role.
At the same time PSU managed only two
hits against winner Ken Demond. The night
game wasn't much better. State got: just four
hits off Florida State's Steve Mastin, and the
Seminoles rolled to a 7-2 win. Manderbach,
who gave up the first four runs in six innings,
"looked a lot better than he did Saturday,"
according to Medlar.
"We're not hitting, but I feel we'll come
around," the coach added. "We've been .hit
ting a lot of balls right at people." At:the same
time,.he said that Mike Eglestori, also a melts
ber of the PSU basketball team, will be the
starting first baseman this year, and that
soph Jim Owens may remain at third.
Wednesday afternoon's game proved to
be just another frustrating defeat' for the
Lions, and even more to for Allgyer. The
righthander pulled 'a muscle off his rib cage
on the left side while throwing to the second
batter. Bob Absalom relieved Allgyer and
gave up three quick runs that held the rest
of the way, and Wake Forest handed PS:11 its
fifth defeat, 3-2.
"Allgyer will be sidelined at least a
week," an unhappy . Medlar • reported. "We
were hoping for him to get a lot of work
down here."
Though Absalom was, tagged with the
loss, he pitched well, the coach said. "A few
days ago we were disappointed with our
pitching. Now, all of a sudden, we've come
up with some strong pitching performances."
' Catcher- Fore also suffered an injury,
though not as serious as his- teammate's. The
senior sprained an ankle, sidelining him for
a day or two. Senior Gene Christina replaced
him and got one of State's six hits.
Rightfielder Dreher, a 6-4, 210 pound sen
or from Havertown, emerged 'the Lions' top
hitter of the spring as he collected two more
hits, bringing his five-game total to six. Little
second-baseman Ken Barto also added a pair
to the total,
"I think we'll hit when we get home,"
Medlar said. "The boys are a little tired right
now." He added that only an outfield slot is
still undecided.
It doesn't matter how the Lions did in
yesterday's and today's games against Wake
Forest. Medlar now knows the capabilities
of his players and the spots that need im
provement. Even with five losses, he seemed
satisfied.
Now when they return home, the players
can make thenelves comfortable at a brand
new Playing `field next-to Bender Stadium.
Coming back with Florida suntans and much
more experience, they can forget the ice pa
vilion for another year.
