Visits Mansfield for 2
Lion Nine Travels
By DAN DONOVAN
Assistant Sports Editor
The Penn State baseball team learned
yesterday that it was No. 5, but the players
aren't letting that stop them. Four teams
were selected by the NCAA District 2 for
the playoffs, but the Lions just missed the
boat
We were the fifth team," Coach Chuck
Medlar said. "NYU, Seton Hall, Camel/ and
Lion first baseman Mike Egleston was
named to the NCAA All-District team yester
day. The 6-4, 195-pound junior owns a .351
average with 2 home runs and 24 RBIs in
18 games. Third baseman Walt Garrison
(.323, 10 RBIs) was named to the third team.
Colgate got the bids, but it was an honor to
even be considered."
Medlar thinks that the difference may
have just been one of those three extra in
ning losses the Lions (11-7) suffered. "We
were just one win away," he said. "I think
that if we had one more win, we would have
gone."
As for the rest of the season, Medlar
aims at showing the rest of the district that
they were wrong. "What we want now is to
have a good season," he said. "If we can win
our next four or three of four, we will have
had a good season."
The first stumbling block in winning
Thinclads End Dual Meets
With Season's Toughest Foe
Saving the best for last is
the most desirable scheduling
for a track team. Track men
try to build themselves up to
peak for the post season tourna
ments championships, and a
building track squad may not
be ready for top flight com
petition in the middle of its
scheduling.
Another advantage to having
to meet the finest last is
that the team gets to practice
against superior competition
right before seeinf the legions
of excellent athletes in the
tournaments.
Penn State's track schedule
has been an almost perfect
one. While there have been no
soft spots on the Lion slate, the
season will culminate tomor
row with the toughest foe of
all—Army.
State has met fine compe
titor after fin e competitor
this season on its way to a 3-1
dual meet record and a victory
in the Big Four meet, but the
Cadets are the strongest team
yet.
Are SIGMA CHl's the GREATEST?
WE'RE SURE!

those remaining games will be Mansfield to
morrow. The Lions travel to Mansfield for
a doubleheader, and it will not be an easy
day.
The Mansfield team is usually a push
over for the Lions, but this year is different.
They are enjoying their'best season to date
as they boast a 11-8 record and a 4-3 win
over tournament-bound Cornell.
What should make the twin bill even
hardei for the Lions is the fact that Mans
field owns a mostly senior team that will be
playing its last college baseball game.
Hurling for Mansfield will be either
Scott Taylor or Ron Carter. Both seniors,
they will be backed up by soph Dave Hager
dorn.
Leading the hitting is Tom Castle, a
sophomore who recently won the team
Most Valuable Player trophy. Gene Fisher,
a long ball hitter, has been slashing home
runs and already owns five.
Medlar will counter with his two aces
tomorrow. Roy Swanson (5-4) has been bet
ter than his won-lost record shows. The
soph rightly owns a 1.69 ERA and 50 strike
outs in 531 innings. •
Gary IVianderbach (3-1) will be the lefty
hurler for the Lions tomorrow. The senior
owns a 2.83 ERA and has struck out 50 bat
ters in only 41 , ii innings.
The Lions plan no lineup changes for to
morrow, only the chance to prove that the
No. 5 team in the district is still pretty good.
Army boasts a tradition of time to broad jump to a few

Golfers Travel to Army;
Cadets Tough at Home
By JOHN PESOTA
Collegian Sports Writer
It's an old golfing axiom that the home
player or home team in any match has a
distinct advantage over any visitor. That extra
bit of local knowledge the home player ac
cumulates with repeated practice can be just
enough to turn a close contest in his favor. But
apparently someone forgot to tell the Penn
State golf team about this 'axiom'.
The Lion linksmen of Coach Joe Boyle have
encountered no difficulties thus far this season
on foreign links. They have a spotless 4-0 rec
ord in road contests. In fact, the closest State
has come to dropping one away from home was
last week's 5-2 win over Navy.
But State is not taking any chances in its
final road encounter tomorrow at West Point.
The team left University Park this morning at
8:00 o'clock to arrive at West Point early. "We
want to get there early so we can get a lot of
practice in," coach Boyle said. "We'd like to
get to know the course well so we can be ready
for them."
Boyle plans no lineup changes, as he car.-
ries an 8-1 slate into the contest. With the
season almost over there seems little point in
juggling his men around now. Leading the
Lions into battle against the Cadets will be
team captain Bob Hibschman. who suffered his
first loss of the year at Navy last week.
Hibschman will be looking to return to the form
that has carried him to an 8-1 season mark and

a , second place finish in the Eastern Cham
pionships. -
Tom Apple, Nick Raasch, and Frank Guise
follow "Ribber" to make up the big four in
Penn State golf circles. Apple and Raasch are
both 6-3. Raasch, the blond better from New-
York, lost his first three but has been invincible
since, streaking to six straight wins. Guise, 7-2,
has not dropped a decision since the fifth
match of the year against West Virginia.
The final three men have certainly been no
load on the team. Mack Corbin is 7-2, including
five straight. Fred Shultz has been a pleasant
surprise, winning coistently' on his way to a 7-
1-1 slate. Andy Noble ns has chipped in with a 5-3
record.
Boyle expects his charges to have a tough
contest on their hands. "Our guys have been
practicing and we're hoping they're up for it," l
Boyle said. "I don't know too much about Army
although they beat Navy by one shot in the
Easterns. They're usually pretty tough on their
course. We'll have our hands full."
The course at Army is the kind that favors
the home team. "They have a cute back nine",
the coach remarked. "It's short with a lot of
doglegs and you have to play short. There is a
lot of local knowledge involved."
The Lions' early departure will be an at
tempt to neutralize Army's home course ad
vantage. Being away has not adversely effected
State's play thus far this season, but victories
in golf can never be taken for granted. And a
spirited Army team should be doubly difficult
to handle on its own course.
