Baseballers Meet Indiana Today
Lion
By DON McKEE
Assistant Sports Editor
Platoon baseball isn’t very
popular nowadays. In fact, it
hardly exists outside Connie
Mack Stadium. But when things
aren’t working like they should,
a. coach has to make soine
changes. ,
• Chuck Medlar juggled Penn
State’s lineup Saturday in a
way that would gladden Gene
Mauch’s heart. The Lions got
one victory with it and came
so close to getting a second
that no one is really sure what
happened.
The Lions dropped P'e ooener
of the doubleheader, 4-3, but
bounced back to capture the
nightcap 4-2, running their rec
ord to 6-3 on the year. Through,
it all, Medlar used two first
basemen, two third basemen,
a new batting order and a
pitcher in the outfield.
Manderbach Makes Difference
The pitcher who roamed
right field was Ji • ■ Allgyer,
but the man who stayed-on the
mound made the biggest differ
erce. Gary Manderbach made
his second fine showing in as
many attempts, winning 4-2 and
bringing in two runs with a
triple.
Rutgers, now holding one of
the best records in the district
at 9-3, won the opener on a
ninth-inning rally, handing Den
ny Lingenfelter his first loss of
the season.
State’s fielding in the open
er was a bit ragged, a de
parture from the crisp play of
earlier games, enabling the
Knights to jump out to a 2-0
lead in the third. Jim Brud
nick’s double and Gary Le
vine’k single, plus errors by
John Featherstone and Ken
Barto gave the Knights the two
tallies.
The Keystone Combo got
those two back immediately.
Featherstone doubled, Joe
Comforto tripled and Barto
singled to knot the count in the
fourth.
See-Saw Game
Übe game continued to see
saw as Rutgers got a run in
the bottom of the fourth on a
walk, a single by George Pel
ler, and Brudnick’s sacrifice
fly.
State got that back on two
walks, an infield single and
Gary Kanaskie’s sacrifice fly.
The next play was the object
of some controversy and may
have cost State a ba 1 ’ game,
Comforto followed Kanaskie to
the plate and cleared the fence
in right with a long fly ball. It
landed foul, however, and the
umpires ruled it had not curved
around 'the foul pole for a
homer, although even Rutgers’
right fielder later admitted
that it did leave the park in
fair territory. Comforto struck
out on the next pitch, leaving
the game tied at 3-3.
Tlie Knights got to Lingen
felter in the ninth. Brudnick
got an infield hit with one out
and scored on a pinch double

by Dan Frczza. It was Lingen
felter’s initial defeat of the
campaign, leaving him at 3-1.
State's dugout was . subdued
after that defeat, but Mander
bach took charge of the wrap
up game and earned the Lions
a split. Ken Barto batted' in
his 14th run of the season, lead
ing the team by a wide margin,
and raised his batting aver
age to an eye-ope ,ing .431 in
the process.
Rutgers again got on' the
scoreboard first, tallying
single runs in the first and
third. Both crossed on doubles
by Rich Surdez, the Knight’s
leading batter.

Featherstone and Kanaskie
opened the frame with singles,
but Bob Cuny retired the next
two batters and it appeared
that the rally would die. Barto
took care of that when he
singled sharply, scoring
Featherstone.
Manderbach was the next
batter, and Medlar had a diffi
cult' choice to make. “I almost
look him out 'for a pinch hit
ter,” the coach said, “But with
the way he was pitching I de
cided to let him bat.”
Two-run Triple
Manderbach foiled the second
guessers and the grandstand
managers as he clouted a
triple, driving in two runs.
When shortstop Brudnicu’s re
lay was wild, he crossed the
plate with the fourth run.
That was all the leftv needed
as he held the Knights to two
harmless hits the rest of the
way, earning his first triumph
of the season.
The Lions mec Indiana State
at home today at 3:30, starting
a busy week. They also have .a
game at West Virginia Thurs
day and a home doubleheader
with Syracuse Saturday.

Allgyer back to the mound
from his temporary, spot in
right. The senior picked up a
base hit at Rutgers and turned
in a good game defensively, but
his main job is still pitching.
Bill Micsky was Medlar’s
original choice for today’s
starting' assignment, but he’s
still not fully recovered from
a stiff shoulder. “Bill doesn’t
seem to be throwing right,”
said Medlar. “He may need
some more work. He hasn’t
been throwing with his normal,
smooth delivery.”
Mike Egleston will return to
his firstbase spot and Dick
Dreher to the outfield. Both
were platooned Saturday. .
All things considered, it
wasn’t a bad weekend for Penn
State. "We’re splitting with the
best ball clubs in the district,”,
said Medlar. “We played two
good games.”
The hitting showed some
signs of a resurgence and the
pitching was getting the outs
when needed. Unfortunately,
leaky defense and bad luck cost
the Lions the opener, but the
platoon system worked- and
most baseball men will take a
split on the road any t'me.

one of nine places taken by Penn State performers in ihe
weekend invitational Midwest event.

Saturday was a day of surprises for the Penn State
golf team. The match with West Virginia, originally sched
uled for Lakeview Country club, one of the nation’s top
golf courses, was instead played at the Morgantown Golf
and Country Club, descrided by State coach Joe Boyle as
“hilly, short, and hard as a rock.”
Jackson,p 0 0
In keeping with the spirit of surprise, the Mountain
eers decided to play under Eastern rules instead of Southern
Conference standards. This involved a switch from six to
seven players and from an 18-point scoring system to the
seven-point method the Lions are used to.
The biggest surprise of the day, for State fans, was the
final score. The Lions found themselves on the short end
of a 4-3 decision.
000 200 100—3 8
002 100 001—4 8
It wasn’t that the Lions didn’t play well. Medalist
honors went to Rusty Washburn with a 67. Mack Corbin
and Jim Geiger followed with 725. West Virginia’s Dick
Ault turned in a 68 to lead the Mountaineers.
Tom Apple was beaten for the first time this season
by Harry Young, the second of WVU’s duo of outstanding
sophs. Apple.couldn’t come close as the match was decided
on the 13th green, 6 and 5.
2nd Game
State’s other winners were Washburn, 4 and 3 over
Dick Adams, and Ernie Saniga, who got by Bob Ault,
3 and 2.
On the losing side for the Lions were Apple, Corbin,
Frank Guise and Bob Hibschman.
Playing the Morgantown course, according to Boyle,
takes “a lot of local knowledge and is not a real test of golf."
All scores were in the low 70s or the 60s, a good sign that
this was not a top-notch course.
Not to say that all the Lions’ problems were with the
links. “They have a very good team,” Boyle said of the
Mountaineer squad. West Virginia stretched its season rec
ord to 9-0, while State dropped to 3-2.
This afternoon the Lions welcome Lehigh to the Nit
tany Valley, The two teams meeting at 1 p.m. on the Uni
versity Park course.
000 400 o—4 8 1
.101 000 o—2 4 4
“It will be good to be back home,” Boyle said as he
predicted a better day for his linksmen. The greens are
improved and the coach expects better putting out of his
team than has been witnessed in the past.

"In initiating "The Shelter" we propose that some
forty students from various backgrounds be
brought together for an experiment in community
living. These students would be reponsible for the
maintenance and social-educational programming
of the house. A room with bath on the main floor
of the house will be reserved as a guest room for
visitors who will contribute, from their current
thought or action, to the intellectual life and social
leadership of the house. The theme of our inquiry
will be "the crisis of social and political revolu
tion." All available resources of society concerned
for human issues will be integrated into the explor-.
ation of our current crisis. The house will explore
what the common life and thought together can
offer in attempting to provide intimations of new
directions toward social change as well as how the
members themselves can personally participate in
the process. By joining "The Shelter" one commits
himself to an identity. He commits himself to a
positive stance in the midst of the maelstrom. He
becomes a member of a community of peers dedi
cated to the intellectual analysis of the current
hang-ups and to service on task forces that might
be formed to fulfill the needs and aims of the
house. He will learn to respect himself and others
for their basic humanity. Although our task is
great, the opportunities for service and personal,
growth are boundless. 'Where there is no vision

Rockwell Wins Triple Jump
Lions Place Nine
By DAN DONOVAN
Collegian Sports Writer
The Penn State track and field team had
a successful day at the 45th Annual Ohio
State Relays last Saturday, placing athletes
in nine of the 13 events. In a weekend of
Lion losses, it' was one of the few varsity
bright spots.
State was 4 he. only Eastern school in
the meet, facing top performers from the
Midwest in one of the toughest relays other
than next Saturday’s Penn Relays.
Only Lion First
Chip Rockwell, the Lion captain, was
the only State thinclad to take a first place.
Rockwell received a 21-jewel .watch by
leaping 47-4% in the triple jump. Fourth in
the event was another Lion, Ray Blinn, who
leaped 45-2%.
The most surprising State performer was
Mike Schurko. Schurko is a thin 5-8 fresh
man who weighs a total of only 128 pounds,
yet he battled Miami of Ohio’s Bob McKel
vey down to the final 50 yards in the 3000-
meter steeplechase, losing by .7 of a second
while setting the Penn State record of 9:12.
Two-Man Race
Schurko and McKelvey easily turned the
race into a two-man contest early in the
event, leaving the rest of the field behind as
they deftly leaped over barriers and water
hazards.
The young State runner was in the
event for the first time in his short career.
The. fine performance brings to mind only
one college runner who has ever won the
Olympic 3,000 • steeplechase. He was Stale’s
1952 runner, Horace Ashenfelder 111. This
gives Schurko a steep goal toward which to
work.
The Lions’ finest relay showing came in
the sprint medley relay. The team of Bob
Kester, Bob Beam, A 1 Shaeffer, and Ken

Brinker took third' behind Notre Dame and
Michigan State with a time of 3:28.1. Brinker
was especially impressive as his quarter
mile leg of 47 seconds was the fastest run
by Penn State in 13 years.
The 480-yard shuttle hurdles relay team
set, a Penn State record when it took fourth
place with a time of 59.9. Don McCourt,
Chuck Harvey, Dick Hetrick, and Brinker
comprised the Lion foursome in that event.
One of the finest individual showings
was in • the three-mile, where senior Terry
Engelder finished fifth out of a field of 35.
Engelder’s 14:39 was one of the best in his
college career.
Two sophomores took third and fourth
in the javelin competition for State. Dick
Richardson took third with a throw of 205-4,
followed by teammate Dave Dunbar.-
State’s favored 440-relay team had trou
ble handling the baton, slipping to fifth place
in their specialty. Kester, Beam, Brinker, and
•Charlie’Hull'ran the event in 43 seconds
.despite the handoff difficulty.
In a field of thirty teams, State’s dis
tance medley relay team managed to capture
fifth place. Steve Calhoun, Phil Peterson,
Ray Smith and Shaeffer ran in the longest
event of the day.
Shaeffer was in on the action again
when he .anchored the two-mile relay team to
a sixth place finish. Running with Shaeffer
were Howard Epstein, Joe Niebel and Steve
Gentry.
State coach John Lucas said, “We were
pleased with the effort displayed by our
athletes, but we are still displeased with the.
results shown by the stopwatch and tape
measure. In other words,, we are not running
fast .enough, .jumping far enough or throw
ing far enough.”
