Sunday's gam'e against Ithaca. Lingenfelter will be going
for his fourth win of the season against Rutgers today.
Lion Nine Plays
Two at Rutgers
By DON MeKEE
Collegian Sports Writer
After a long weekend when a team loses two of three
a lot of coaches would look forward to a few days off.
Penn State coach Chuck Medlar disagrees.
“It’s hard to keep a team sharp over a layoff of a
whole week,” said Medlar, commenting on State’s short
vacation. .
Today’s doubleheader with Rutgers will be the Lions
first action since last Sunday’s split with Ithaca. In the
interim Medlar has sent his charges , through a lengthy
intra-squad game and seemingly endless rounds of batting
practice.
All the workouts have been aimed at one thing—
curing the ills that currently afflict the Lion hitters. Lack
of batting strength allowed one game to slip through Gary
Manderbach’s fingers and the same deficit made Denny
Lingenfelter’s task much harder.
Manderbach had tossed a three : hitter at Villanova
last Saturday and totally stifled all Wildcat attempts to
score. But Manderbach’s teammates were in the same
scoreless boat. The game went to the 10th, Manderbach
tired, and State lost 1-0.
Lingenfelter fared better against Ithaca, but his 3-2
win was made harder by a lack of “insurance" runs. In
the' wrap-up of the Ithaca doubleheader the Lions were
shut out for the second time in two days.
Despite that less-than-impressive hitting 'record Med
lar is making no changes today. Lingenfelter will take the
mound and go after his fourth win of the season. The staff
leader in innings pitched, Lingenfelter has recorded a great
0.72 ERA in three starts,
The chief hitting support so far this season has come
from Ken Barto and Joe Comforto, the only two left
handed swingers in the regular lineup.
Second baseman Barto is hitting a lofty .476 while
Comforto has recorded a .333 average. Barto has also
driven across a team-leading 12 runs.
A Welcome Choice
Medlar has still not chosen a starter for the second
contest. The coach has the happy task of making a choice
between Manderbach and Bill Micsky. All coaches should
have similar problems. The two hurlers have given up a
combined total of exactly one run in 18 innings of work.
Since Micsky pitched his no-hit game two weeks ago
he’s been on the shelf with a stiff shoulder. That problem
has cured itself and now the sophomore righty is ready
to go.
State is facing rugged competition today. The Scarlfet
Knights are sailing along with a 7-2-1 record and will
have their two ace pitchers set to face the Lions.
Jim Jackson, 3-0, and Ed Ott, 1-0, will get the nod
from Rutgers coach Matt Bolger. The two are benefiting
from a much-improved hitting attack. After batting .220
last seasonj the veteran Rutgers team has come alive and
is hitting the ball for a .270 average.
State’s hitters should be ready for today's game. After
a week of hitting drills they’ll be happy to get back to
competition.

Lacrosse Match
By STEVE SOLOMON
Assistant Sports Editor
What we have here is a failure to com-
munieate.
The Penn State lacrosse team made the
long bus trip to Colgate yesterday and ended
up holding a 90-minute practice session a few
hundred feet from the drilling Red Raiders.
Colgate had called the game off but kept the
fact a well-guarded secret within the athletic
department.
Contract( To Expire
This was to be the last year for ath
letic competition between the two schools. A
working contract was to expire at the con
clusion of the current spring season.
However, when the Lions arrived at the
New York school, they were informed by ath
letic director Everett D. Barnes that there
would be no game. Coach Dick Pencek pro
tested, and Barnes said in effect that lacrosse
ties between Colgate and Penn State had ended
a year earlier.
Offered Alternate
So as not to forfeit 1 the game, Colgate
offered an alternate date of May 11 for the
game. The Lions, scheduled to play host to
Committees Flare
LAUSANNE, Switzer land
(AP) A big row flared yes
terday between the Mexican
Organization Olympic Commit
tee and the International Olym
pic Committee involving South
Africa’s readmission to the
Summer Games in Mexico in
October.
Pedro Ramirez Vasquez,
president of the Mexican Or
ganizing Committee, told news
men no invitation had been sent
to South Africa “because we
have not had official word ask
ing us to invite South Africa.”
Letter Request
Immediately, Col. John Wes
terhoff, secretary general of
the lOC, pointed out that he
had written a letter to the
Mexican Organization Commit
tee on Feb. 23 requesting Mex
ico to invite South Africa.
Westerhoff said he had writ
ten another letter dated April
2 again asking the Mexicans to
invite South Africa.
So far there has ben no reply
to that letter. An emergency
meeting of the Executive
Board of the lOC to discuss the
readmission of apartheid South
Africa is scheduled today.
Westerhoff’s letter of April 2
said: “Due to the fact that until
today we have not received any
corfirmation that any such in
vitation (to South Africa) has
been sent out I presume that
our letter must have been mis
laid or got lost on its way
to Mexico.

Cortland State that afternoon, turned it down.
Then Pencek attempted to arrange a scrim
mage but was refused. The two teams ended
up holding practice sessions on adjoining fields.
“This was the most expensive practice in
Penn State history,” Pencek said. The whole
affair cost Penn State an estimated S5OO.
After their drills, the Lions took the one
hour drive to Syracuse, where they’ll play this
afternoon. The Orangemen are 3-1 this season
and are favored over State by a nationally
circulated magazine, Lacrosse Newsletter.
Could Be Blessing
Though it was annoying, the cancellation of
yesterday’s game could be a blessing in dis
guise. Two contests in 24 hours is a rough
assignment, but now the Lions can concen
trate on Syracuse, a pivotal game in their
schedule.
“We have to win them all,” Pencek said
of the remainder of State’s games. “If we lost
just one moret’-it would discredit our perfor
mance against Maryland.”
Pencek was referring to the Lions’ close
