page six Lacrosse, Baseball Squads on Road Lingenfelter, Micsky Chosen p To Pitch Against Rutgers By DON McKEE Collegian Sports Writer The next time a Chicago sports writer bemoans the trials and tribulations of Eddie Stanley, Penn State baseball coach Chuck Mediae- will be able to nod sympathetically. Last season “The Brat” had the best pitch ing staff in the majors and his White Sox still finished no better than fourth. They just didn't have the bats. This season Medlar has put together a fine pitching staff, but some great efforts are go ing to waste because State hasn’t come up with the hitting to match the arms. No one supposes that' Denny Lingenfelter, .Tim Allgyer, Bill Micsky and Gary Mander bach are in the same class as Joel Horlen or Gary Peters, but Lehigh and Ithaca aren't the Minnesota Twins either. In 54 innings the “Big Four” has allowed only eight earned runs. Faded After 3 Tlie Lions got great hitting as they swept their first three games, but ti faded after that and State has split its last four. Medlar remains optimistic as the Lions head for New Jersey to meet a strong Rutgers outfit. “Our hitting will come around,” he said. 'Don't forget—we saw some good pitchers in the last four games.” Eight days ago at Lehigh, State beat a sophomore pitcher, 2-0. After the game .Medlar called him, “one of the best we’ll see all year.” Last weekend the Lions saw not one but two pitchers who could be rated better. Hal Burke of Villanova stopped State, 1-0 in 10 innings, besting Manderbach in as fine a pitch er’s battle as anyone had seen in a long time. Another Heartbreaker When the Lions split with Ithaca, they went down 4-0 to another first-rate effort. Frank Spaziani took the loss in that one even though he gave up only two earned runs. Tlie best prediction for this weekend’s action is more of the same. Medlar’s staff is rested and ready—and Rutgers coach Matt Bolger has his two top hurlers in line to face the visitors. The opening game will match two right handers with identical 3-0 records. Lingen felter, unstoppable so far this season, gets the call for State. Rutgers, 7-2 on the season, will counter with Jim Jackson, a soph hurler who has been a pleasant surprise for Bolger.

In the second contest, the Scarlet Knights will go to their ace, Senior Ed Ott. A Penn sylvania (Hatboro) product, Ott led the Knights with a 2.04 ERA a year ago. The lefthander is currently having the same troubles as the Lion pitchers—little hitting support. His rec ord is just 1-0 with two no-decision games. An outside possibility for the second game ned is Doug Brittelle, also the 6-6 center of the Rutgers basketball squad. The junior has shown some impressive pitching this season after a shaky sophomore year. Medlar will go with Bill Micsky in the second game. The sophomore made Penn Slate history two weeks ago by tossing a no-hitter at Gettysburg in his first varsity start. He has not seen action since then due to a stiff shoulder, but is ready to go tomorrow. With Micsky starting, Allgyer will be free to come out of the bullpen, something he has done superbly in two games this season, despite the fact that he’s normally a starter. In two relief appearances Allgyer hasn’t sur rendered a run. Worked Hard The hitters have been getting some good workouts this week in long intrasquad games designed to give them the feel of competition during the week-long layoff. The top hitter through the first seven games has been second baseman Ken Barto. Tlie senior easily qualifies as the most improved hitter, too. A year ago he hit less than .200 for the regular season. This year he’s swinging the bat at a .476 clip. Joe Comforlo is batting a healthy .333. The junior has turned in some steady hitting against the best pitchers the Lions have faced. The rest of the squad hasn’t fared nearly as well although there is one notable exception. That’s reserve catcher Gene Christina. The senior came off the bench last Sunday and banged out a clutch pinch-hit double to drive in the winning run in the 3-2 victory over Ithaca. Christina started the second game to give regular Dave Fore a breather. He rapped out two straight hits to wind up with a perfect 1.000 average for the limited action he’s seen. That sort of clutch hitting gives Medlar bench strength to work with and a good pinch hitter. And the Lions may need all the RBIs that Christina—and everyone else—can provide in the upcoming series. links. The action will start at 3:30. Teachers!

Unbeaten Tennis Team Travels Lions By JOHN LaPLACE Collegian Sports Writer This afternoon the unbeaten Penn State tennis squad (2-0), under coach Holrr.es Cathrall, embarks on its first road trip of the season, motoring to Annapolis where it will face the Midshipmen of Navy. With a 10-day layoff prior to the trip to the Naval Academy, Cathrall kept the Lions busy. The netmen took full advantage of the perfect tennis weather and worked for a steady game. “We’ve worked for steady performances this r, ast week,” said Cathrall. “We hope that this will be helpful in the three set matches which we are ex pecting i from the Middies this weekend.” The 10-day layoff also pro vided Joe Kaplan with an op portunity to sell his wares to Cathrall. And sell ’ e did. Kap lan’s showing the past week has impressed Cathrall so much that it earned him either fifth or sixth position for to morrow’s match. ‘‘Joe is one of the nicest surprises of the season.” the coach said. “He didn’t make the trip down South and has beaten some of the boys who did make the trip.” As for the Middies, they’re slacked with talent, according to all reports.

The Lion's will be facing five of their conquerors from last sea son at Annapolis. Navy barely pulled off a 5-4 win last season, and it was one of two narrow 5-4 depisions dropped by the Lions, who posted a 9-3 mark last season. Despite relative inexperience in his number three, four, five and six positions, Cathrall, with cautious confidence, expects a 5-4 match again this season, \ ith the outcome going either way against a tough Navy team. With the Navy match tomor row the Lion netmen begin a rugged seven-day grind which Bullets Sign Unseld BALTIMORE (/P) The Baltimore Bullets staged a unique public signing yesterday of Louisville All-American Westley Unseld and an owner claimed his contract would not be topped by any rookie this year in the National Basketball Association. “This contract represents the most attractive and re warding contract that has or 'will be signed by any player in the NBA this year,” Earl Foreman said. He said this with the knowledge that Elvin Hayes, Houston’s All-Arneriean, had signed for a reported $440,000* for four years with San Diego, also of the NBA. The one-two punch scored by the NBA over the rival American Basketball Association, which also sought Hayes and Unseld, “has to hurt” the other league, Foreman’ said. Navy leaves just about enough time to keep the Sabbath holy, and that’s all. Following the Navy meet Stale hosts Gettysburg Tuesday and travels for week end dates Friday at Syracuse and Saturday at Colgate. Aside from Joe Kaplan’s cracking the lineup, replacing Jeff Bickmore, the front line remains intact with only a few minor changes within. Captain Mario Obando and Neal Kra mer retain their one-two posi tions. However, Glenn Rupert and Tom DeHuff will be 'the' - either third or fourth position.

Astute lacrosse observers are focusing a sharp eye on the Lions to determine whether their near-upset over de* fending national champion Maryland ten days ago was a once-;n-a-season fluke. It was the only Penn State loss in four games. “It’s a big challenge,” coach Dick Pencek said of win ning the last six games on the schedule. “We have to be up mentally for each one. If we lose again, it discredits our performance against Maryland.” The Lions will have to be psyched sky high this week end. They face undefeated Colgate this afternoon and a highly-publicized Syracuse squad tomorrow. Colgate is 2-0 with triumphs over Lehigh and Lafay ette, although they don’t appear to have the overall class that the Lions possess. But they’re big, have bench strength, and use unorthodox setups to free the midfielders, who have contributed half the scoring this year. If the Lions are looking forward to Syracuse tomorrow, they’ll have trouble. The Orangemen will field their best team in years, strengthened since last year’s 11-10 victory over State by the addition of some highly-touted sophomores. Syracuse is 3-1, with its only loss coming at the hands of Navy, and is favored over the Lions by the nationally distributed Lacrosse Newsletter. They boast a solid midfield and at tack. All the Lions were pronounced fit by Pencek, with the exception of Mike Passano, who may be sidelined with a groin pull. Ken Edwards, Bob Schoepflin and Rick Ruf, all of whom look a beating in State’s 9-5 win over Loyola last Saturday, should be close to 100 per cent. In Small Slump Edwards is the team scoring leader with 34 points on 16 goals and 18 assists. The Long Island'sophomore is in a small slump,' however, having ripped the nets for only one goal in the last two games. But his overall field play has remained outstanding. Bob Schoepflin, Edwards’ male on attack, has come on strong lately, scoring the Lions' key goals. He has seven goals and 11 assists to rank behind Edwards. Midfielder Randy Voigt has been shooting frequently, and as was the case against Loyola, sometimes erratically, but he has a dozen goals to his credit. Rick Ruf has seven goals, Dave Schock four, and Loren Stolp, Steve Hender son and Passano, two each. But it has been the man behind the nets who has carried the Lions this season. Goalie Jim McGuone is the unsung target of 35 to 45 whistling shots each game. Against Loyola, the 5-10 junior was credited with 20 saves.
