?AGE SIX
Lion Nine Home
By DON McKEE
Assistant Sports Editor
Penn State's baseball team has been
, "on" and "off" all season, but lately the
switch has been stuck at "off," In the mid
, dle of the season the Lions were winning
every other game but have slumped sharply
and lost their last four.
Early in the year State got fine pitch
ing from Denny Lingenfelter, Bill Micsky,
• Gary Manderbach and Jim Allgyer. But that
powerful quartet 'has been breaking up.
Allgyer was the first to go. When the
Lions stopped hitting, coach Chuck Medlar
decided to use Allgyer, a good hitting pitcher,
in right field.
Hard Luck Hurler
Then Lingenfelter ran into some hard
luck and lost three straight games, despite
pitching respectably in all of them. Errors
and lack of hitting hurt Lingenfelter, but he
still leads the staff with three victories.
Manderbach and Micsky typify t h e
Lions' decline. Both pitched great games
early in the season, then lost the touch.
Micsky tossed a no-hitter in his first
start but hasn't won since. Manderbach was
effective in three straight games but was
shelled in his last two outings.
Crucial Contests
The Lions face Mansfield State at 3:30
today in a pair of seven-inning games. The
doubleheader could be crucial for'State since
nothing but top-notch teams remain at the
' end of the schedule.
Medlar will definitely go with Lingen
felter in the first game, but the choice is
more difficult after that.
The coach may go outside his usual ro
tation for a second game starter and nomi-
Cheerleader Tryouts Sunday
Approximately 80 Penn State
undergraduates are expected
to be present next Sunday for
opening cheerleading tryouts at
White Hall.
Rich Klinetob, who heads the
group of 10 returning cheer
leaders, said that five men and
four women will be chosen as
additions to next year's squad.
Surprise Number
Richie Lucas, assistant busi
ness manager of athletics and
next year's adviser to the
cheerleaders, said last week
he was flooded with over 100
applications for the positions.
Thus his original idea to choose
replacements mainly from ap
pLcation responses had to be
abandoned.
"We intend to eliminate
around 20 applications right
away," Lucas said, "on the
basis of the yes-no answers we
received. Then we'll hold a
series ..)f tryouts with the re
maining 80 people and elimi
mate as we go along."
- Those whose applications
have been eliminated will be
notified this w,,ek, Klinetob
Preakness Start Seen
For Dancer's Image
BALTIMORE (JP) Peter Fuller;, a former amateur
boxer and fight manager, threw a couple of oral jabs yes
terday that indicated strongly his Dancer's Image will run
in the Preakness Saturday at Pimlico.
"I can't say anything in view of the hearings in Ken
tucky, but we're training the horse and I can assure you
we are not shadow boxing," Fuller said after watching
Dancer's Image work three-eighths of a mile in 36 2/5 sec
onds and gallop out the half in 53 2/5.
After Dancer's Image had been disqualified from first
and placed last in the Kentucky Derby, when tests dis
closed a trace of an anti-inflammatory drug in the colt's
system, Fuller said he, would not enter the Preakness if his
trainer, Lou Cavalaris, was suspended by the Kentucky
Stewards.
However, Cavalaris has said 'he wants Dancer's Image
to run in the second jewel of the Triple Crown no matter
what his status as a trainer, and Fuller apparently has had
second thoughts on the .matter.
No Complaints
Cavalaris also was on hand for yesterday's workout
and said "just what I ordered. No complaints at all, just
perfect."
Fuller and Cavalaris were in Kentucky for the stew
ards' hearing Monday and are scheduled to be Louis
ville again today. The hearing continued yesterday withuht
them. Meanwhile, four other hopefuls of the probable
Preakness field of 12 also worked out.
Calumet Farm's Forward Pass. made the Derby winner
after Dancer's Image was disqualified, went an easy six
furlongs in 1:13 2/5.
"I was well satisfied." said trainer Henry Forrest. "He
handled the track right well. That will be all until the big
race except for the daily gallops and perhaps a blowout
Friday."
Al Lippe's Francie's Hat, third across the Derby fin
ish line, went seven furlongs in 1:28 2/5, causing trainer
Jimmy Conway to remark:
"He looks even better than he did in the Derby. He
looked like he handled the track real well. Bailie Fires
again will ride. He seems to do a better job riding the colt
each time he is up. Yes, I feel right good over our pros
pects Saturday."

losing cause at Lafayette.
Allgyer will probably stay in right for
at least the first game. In the nightcap Gene
Christina will patrol the spot if Medlar de
cides that Allgyer's arm is needed on the
mound.
Most of the batting power the Lions
have managed to come up with this season
has been from the left side of the plate.
Ken Barto continues to lead in batting aver
age with a .346 mark.
' Left fielder Joe Comfort') and Allgyer,
both lefthanded swingers, are the only other
regulars over .300. The top pinch-hitter has
been Christina, also a lefty.
Those hitters should get a chance to
raise their averages tomorrow against Mans
field. Scott Taylor will pitch the opener and
the righthander has been far from effective,
winning only one game while losing five.
Look for Upset
Mansfield is playing its last two games
today and carries hopes for a double-upset
that would give it an even split for the sea-.!
son.
Mansfield finished State College Con
ference play at 5-5 and is 8-10 over all. A
little of the bad luck that has hurt Penn
'State has apparently afflicted Mansfield.
The visitors have lost five one-run games. -
The Lions have kept up their hustle .
throughout the losing streak. "We're doing
everything we 'can." said Medlar, "but
everything seems to he going against us."
Maybe Medlar's team will finally get a
break in this disastrous season. A double win
over Mansfield would go a long way toward
restoring the Lions' confidence. If it doesn't
rain, that is.'

has not been notified before
Sunday should plan to be at
the orientation session that day,
beginning at 7 p.m. in the gym

Tryouts are scheduled to con
tinue next Wednesday through
Friday, at 7 p.m. each night,
followed by another session Sat
urday. May 25, at 2 p.m. Kline
top said first cuts will be made
by the returning cheerleaders
next Thursday, May 23, when
the field will be reduced to 20
girls. All boys trying out are
expected to, be retained until
the final cut.
Public Finals
A panel of judges will be in
Rec Hall next Sunday night,
May 26, to choose next year's
squad members. The final ses
sion, to be open to the public,
will begin at 7 p.m.
'This year we're going to try
for more communication be
tween the candidates an d
judges," Klinetob said. "Then
we can se e who's really inter
ested, by working with the peo
ple personally."
Klinetob added that the
squad's main goal this year
will be to generate much of
the spirit that has b, en lacking
i n past years.
"You really can't tell how
bad it is until you get down on
the field," he said. "There
were times when the people
just would not cheer, no mat
ter what we did. And at bas
ketball games, there was no
real reason for us to be there.
The people actually got bellig
erent at times."
He said tentative plans call
for pep rallies next year to be
organized primarily by the
cheerleaders as a group. Other
possibilities include the incor
poration of the cheerleaders
with Students for State organ
zation, and for the use of "yell
leaders" interspersed through
out the stands to help conduct
cheers at football games.

Miami Chosen
As Bowl Site
ATLANTA,. Ga. (AP) The
1969 Super Bowl football game
between champions of , the
American and National foot
ball leagues was awarded yes
terday by club owners to Miami
for the second straight year.
The game will be played next
Jan. 15, in the Orange Bowl,
site of the last Super Bowl this
past January.
Miami won out over New Or
leans in a battle to stage the,
game, with 25 owners of the
two leagues voting for Miami
and New Orleans passing.
Football Coinmissioner Pete
Rozelle said that during the
PETE ROZELLE
. . picks Miami again
closed meeting the owners ap,
parently were impressed by the
sellout in the 0-ange Bowl last
January and the ever-all co
operation from the City of Mi
ami.
He said, however, that the
owners did not indicate that
Miami woule, be the perma
nent host of the Super Bowl.
The decision was somewhat
of a surprise, since there had
been speculation that New Or
leans was the front-runner. •
New Orleans Mayor Vic
Schiro, meeting with the own
ers before they voted, had
promised to guarantee a crowd
of 50,000 if the Super Bowl were
staged in the 'Sugar Bowl.
However, rental for the Super
Bowl would have run about
$90,000, considerably higher
than the $35,000 the ,Orange
Bowl charged last year 'when it
had a sellout of 75,000 fans.
The same charge had been
promised for the 1969 game:
Miami Mayor Steve Clark
said "I'm positively elated. We
couldn't be happier in Miami."
Clark said he had promised
the owners "the same type of
cooperation we had last year.
Bowl to Move
Rozelle said, however, that
the wners made it quite clear
that they wanted to move the
bowl around in the future. He
said the Astrodome in Hous
ton might be _anked as a pos
sible future site. .
Rozelle said the training
camps next January for the
league champions would be the
same as they were this year—
with the NFL team training at
Fort Lauderdale and the 4FL
team training at Beca Raton:
The NFL owners spent part
of the day discussing demands
by players for more money.
No action was taken Rozelle
said, but some owners objected
to requests that players be paid
$lOO for each exhibition game
and that owners put $.5 million
in a player pension fund each
'year.
