Snow Weather for Golf
By GLENN SHEELEY
Collegian Sports Writer
It looks like the Penn State linksters
will have to settle for at least a few days
of whacking it around in the golf nets at
Rec Hall. Old Man Winter didn't feel like
leaving the fairways green for very long
and for the meantime the Lion golfers
are snm% bound with their season opener
just a wedge shot away.
The Lions are scheduled to challenge
Villanova on Saturday afternoon at the
University layout but unless there's an
unexpected heat wave and some hur
ricane winds prevailing within the next
few days. Coach Joe Boyle's boys aren't
going to be teeing it up at their home
course for a while.
Boyle has four returning lettermen
on his 1970 squad with captain Mack Cor
bin heading the lineup. Also around from
last year is senior Andy Noble and
juniors Nick Raasch and Fred Schulz.
There'll be a 54-hole playoff to deter
mine the starting positions whenever con
ditions improve enough for play on the
State course and Boyle is also counting
on junior Mike McDonnell an d
sophomores Jim Conn and Gary Bethune
to place near the top or the field.

"We also have a lot of real good
freshmen," Boyle said, "and we'll go

For five seasons, between
1964 and 1968, the San Fran

one of the top sluggers in
baseball.
He averaged nearly 30 home
runs a season in those five
years and he still carries a .282
lifetime batting average. But
last year, troubled by a
shoulder injury, Hart's produc

Golf is tough enough by itself without

any kind of a break in the neather, it

Kuhn to Give Status
Of McLain Today
NEW YORK (AP) Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn
said last night he has reached a decision in the case of
suspended Detroit Tiger pitcher Denny McLain and will an
nounce it today.
A spokesman for the commissioner's office said Kuhn
would hold a news conference in the Americana Hotel at noon
to announce his decision.
. -
A Detroit newspaper reported last week that McLain
would be given a year's suspension for involvement in
bookmaking activities dating back to 1967.
The commissioner's office, however, described that report
as "just a wild guess" and said Kuhn had not come to a
decision.
McLain, a 26-year-old righthander, won 31 games in 1968
and led the Tigers to the American League pennant. He won
the Cy Young Award as the league's outstanding pitcher and
shared the award last year with ?.altimore's Mike Cuellar af
