VAM SIX Thinclads Home By DAN DONOVAN Collegian Sports Writer The Penn State track and field team will shoot for its first dual meet victory of the outdoor season tomorrow at Beaver Stadium when it hosts Syracuse at 1:30 p.m. - State" will be favored in this meeting of the two rival schools, as it boasts a well balanced but not flashy team. Syracuse has already lost a meet to Colgate, not a power ful squad. Last 'year, basically the same Syracuse ,team fell . before the charging Lions by a - . 10.7-38 score. State won in all but one event in downing the Orangemen. Lions Confident Syracuse will -be out to avenge that defeat, but State is confide'nt in its might. The Orange will be strongest in the sprints this year. Team captain Ron Manne is a top sprinter who has been clocked at 9.7 in the 100 and 21.9 in the 220. Marine will be backed by Bill Roberts, quarter-miler. He's a fleet runner who is ex pected to cover the distance in close to 48.8. • In the hurdles, Tom Wood is the main stay of the Syracuse team. Wood ran the hurdles in 44.1 to set a meet record when Syracuse lost to Colgate. Distances Fast Syracuse also boasts some fine distance runners, who may give State a bit of trouble. The field events will be a sort of mys tery this week, since no one is certain just how good the Syracuse weight men are. Most of their shot, discus and javelin men have been iri spring football training and have yet to perform in a dual meet. Orioles Look Like AL Champs of '66 BALTIMORE (IP) The remainder of the American League would do well to cast a wary eye at the fast start by the Baltimore Orioles. The 1968 Orioles don't resemble the 1966 pennant winners—in personnel or performance to date—but there are enough parallels to cause concern for the opponents. So far, the pitching has been vastly superior to 1966 with the hitting less potent. Just as important as raw ability, perhaps, as outfielder Paul Blair points out, is "the return of the winning spirit." "We're out to show we're not as bad as last year," Blair said. referring to the 1967 collapse which tumbled the Orioles into a sixth place tie. - "Last year we sat back and waited for something to happen," said Blair. "This year, we're making things hap pen and forcing the other teams to make mistakes." Only 12 of the current 25 players were with Baltimore through the entire 1966 season, but they include seven of the eight day-to-day regulars. The lone exception is shortstop Mark Belanger, t the youngster whose promise prompted the Orioles to deal veteran Luis Aparicie during the off-season. Two years ago, the Orioles opened with rookie catcher Andy Etchebarren, rookie second baseman Dave Johnson and second-year player Blair in center. Baseball traditional ists said a team with so much inexperience up the middle couldn't win, but Baltimore did. Did They Ignore Wilt? PHILADELPHIA ( AP)—ldle conversation between a report er and Vince Miller. scout-sta , tistician for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basket : ball Association, may have ' solved the mystery of why Wilt Chamberlain took n few shots in the seventh and final game of the Eastern final against Boston. Miller told George Kiseds of the Philadelphia Bulletin his chart showed Chamberlain got the ball in the pivot just seven times in the second half twice in the third period, and five times- in the final quarter. In the first half, the ball went into the pivot 23 times. Kiseda asked Chamberlain why the 7- foot-1 center didn't point this Applications for U.S.G.

Manne will face State's fine 9.7 runnur Bob Beam in what should be the closest race. The durable Ken Brinker will again run in four events. This week, he'll attempt the 220 and the high hurdles, besides running on the 440 relay team and anchoring the mile relay squad. Distance runner Ray Smith will see double duty this week, running both the mile and- two-mile for State. Smith is pre paring for his head-on clash with Pitt's Jerry Richey one week from Saturday in the Big Four meet. This weekend State will test a mile re lay team which hopefully will bring victory in the Big Four meet and the IC4Ac. Harry McLaughlin, Howie Epstein, Steve Calhoun, and Brinker will carry the baton for State. Earlier this week, State had a throw-off to determine who will hurl the javelin this weekend. Joining Dick Richardson in this event will be Charlie Bradley and Tom Allen. Syracuse is weak in the jumping events, and State will try to capitalize on this weak- ' ness. Captain Chip Rockwell, Ray Blinn and, Bob Rester, who swept the triple jump against Navy, hope to repeat this feat against the Orange. The main objective this weekend will • be a sort of preparation for two upcoming meets. State's coaches are anticipating a fine showing by the Lions in preparation for the four-way meet May 18 with Pitt, Syracuse, and West Virginia. After that, the IC4A championships will be the center of atten tion, Not as Bad out in answering questions about why he only took one shot in the second half.

The Temple game was typi cal of the entire season for the Lions. Starter Denny Lingen felter had to leave the game with a stiff shoulder.

Spaziani Toagh "I was very pleased with Spaziani," Medlar said. "He had a real good fastball and kept the-ball down most of the time. When he's throwing like that, no one can do much dam age against him." Temple's hitters certainly couldn't do much damage to Spaz. He pitched two-hit ball for four and two-thirds innings.

Ken Edwards comes first,' of course, because when you score three or four goals a game and adc - a similar number of assists and when you shoot over your, shoulder and 'behind your back and gener,lly run the show, you are b•nind to get a lot of attention. Then you recognize Galen Goclbey, because at 6-5 and 220 pouhds you don't overlook him unless Katherine Ross is sitting beside you. The next name-is likely to be that of Bob Schoepflin. Bob 1010? Don't hold your breath until somebody tells you, be cause the lacrosse coach spends his time in strategy sessions at this time of the season. Last year's 'star is this season's superstar, but now it's a two man show. Schoepflin. Fot all the press re'eases last year when he was a bright eyed sophomore with an unusually large lump in his throat but an equally amazing scoring touch at any distance. He practically carried the Penn State offense alone, scoring and American League base ball, the 18-year-old chalked up no less than 13 no-hitters. He beat Navy 8-1 Tuesday and is almost sure to face State to morrow. Faced with a . four game losing streak and a series of doubleheaders coming up, the Lions need two wins tomorrow to get back to .500 from their current 7-9 mark—and to get started on a winning streak.

Another sophomore "wun derkinC is on the scene, and Schoepflin, who with three games remaining on the sched ule has already surpassed his 1957 totals, can sit back and appreciate what Ken Edwards is going through. "There's a lot of pressure on Ken," Schoepflin saia of the young Lion who has 26 goals and 32 assists and clippings from Sports Illustrated. "I know, because I went through it last year. But' now that there's another scorer on the team, T. feel mu , th more • re laxed. I think my play has improved because of it." Sclnpflin is a 5-7, 140- pounder from Huntington High School, the center of Long Island's annual lacrosse frenzy.

"He's probably one cf the top five attackmen that Penn State has ever had," assistant coach Tom Hayes said. "With Ed wards around, he doesn't get the attention that he enjoyed last year, but he's still' our most consistent player. We can always count on him for three or four points a game." Schoepflin' s journey to Penn State has brought unexpected benefits. "When you recruit a player like Schoepflin." Hayes con tinued, "you get more than four years of good lacrosse, it helps the whol^ recruiting program. Bobby was ono of the top Play ers in Long Island, and high school boys listened when you tell them that one of the play prs they admired came up here." Schoepflin and his mates entertain Cortland State at 3:20 tomorrow afternoon in a battle of similar styles. The Red Dragons' coach, Fred Pisano, was an assistant 'ader Pencek in 1962 and has since carried his playing strategy northward. 'On paper, it looks like a pretty ever." matchtip," Hayes said.
