Lion Thinclads To Meet Army

Beavet' Stadium Saturday afternoon to
take on the Nittany Lion track team.
The West Pointers (sill bring in a. tough

Coach Harry Groves says is "one of the
top five deal meet teams in the East, and
they don't lose very often." He feels that
the Lions will have to attack Army's
strengths in order to defeat them.
Carl Kroll's Cadets, who finished with
an indoor record of 10-1. are led by Tony
Dedmond. a sophomore who tied for first
place in the 60-yard dash at the indoor
IC4A meet in March. and Kevin
Flanagan, who holds the Academy record
of 9.4 for the 100-yard dash. They also
have one of the best quarter-milers in the

this season, announced yesterday 6-foot-6 Ed Searcy. a
schoolboy basketball star from New York, will attend the
school this fall.
Searcy, a 195-pound forward from Power Memorial
High School, is considered by many as one of the finest
high school players in the country. He averaged 20 points,
16 rebounds and five blocked shots a game during his
team's 22-0 season.
"College coaches tell me that Searcy may be the best
player in the East," said Duquesne Coach Red Manning at
the news conference, "and the best cornerman in the na
tion."
Searcy, an honor student, said he had about 150 col
lege offers and had reduced his preference to Marquette
and Duquesne.

Me• lar Sets ase • ail Lineup
For Se eduled Sunday Game
By 808 DIXON
Collegian Sports Writer
The miserable, yet typical central Pennsylvania
weather of recent days has become the Penn State
baseball team's first enemy this season.
With a successful six•game spring trip to Florida
behind them and the players rounding into shape,
coach Chuck Medlar and his Lion nine returned home
last weekend with hopes of starting its schedule on
time, while the competitive edge was still there.
But Old Man Winter decided to have one last
fling, and as everyone knows, the poor Easter Bunny
was forced in on snow shoes as a barage of the white
stuff turned Easter Sunday into Christmas in late
March. And Peter Cottontail wasn't the only one af
fected, either. Because of the snow, State's opening
contest against Bucknell, scheduled for last
Wednesday, had to be postponed.
If that wasn't enough, those April showers are
now in full swing and, of course, rainy skies and
muddy fields aren't exacL;y id^:3l •-- f`:)l`
for baseball. That means that unless the long-lost
sun comes out in lull force very soon, Sunday's nome
doubleheader with George Washington might have to
be postponed. And that wouldn't be too nice.
"We had a real good week in Florida and the
team was ready to go when we got back home,"
Medlar said. "But this bad weather is hurting us
because we haven't been able to get in any real prac
tice.
"In baseball, to stay sharp, players need actual
competition. It was too bad that the Bucknell game
was postponed, but I still feel that the players are
Lions in the dashes and the hurdles. And
miler Greg Fredericks will have to pull
his own against the Cadets.
This is the first dual meet of the out
door season for the Lions. Last year the
trackmen were successful in six meets
while suffering only two setbacks. One of
these setbacks was at the hands of Army.
However. Groves does not feel that suc
cess in dual meets is the ultimate goal to
reach for during an outdoor season.
"Dual meets keep a team ready for the
tougher meets later," he says. "But your
record in them doesn't determine a
team's stature in the East or in the coun
try.
"Our goals are success in the NCAA
and IC4A meets. Dual meets help develop
your ability for the later big meets."
Tomorrow afternoon the Nittany Lions
will start on that long road toward the
"big meets," .and it would be nice if they
picked up a few victories along the way.

ready to play and that they can pick up right where
they left off in Florida."
With this weekend's twinbill still in doubt, Medlar
has to assume that the games will be payed, which
means making up lineups and pitching rotations. For
the Lions, Sunday's lineup will be basically the same
one used on the Florida trip.
The State infield is pretty much set with team
slugger Mike Egleston at first, Mike Smith at second,
and another fine hitter in Walt Garrison at third. The
shortstop spot will be manned by junior Dick Rose,
although he has been challenged by' Jim Owens and
freshman Al David.
The outfield is experienced with basketball cap
tain Tom Daley, a capable hitter who sparkles in the
field, in center and junior John Galluppi in left. Right
field is right now up for grabs between Harry Rogers
and Mark Tanner, a pair of left-handed swinging
sophomores. Rogers is a good fielder and probably
the fastest member of the team, while Tanner han
dles a pretty good bat.
Behind the plate in the first game will be last
year's starter. Geroge Landis. while either senior
George Cesnik or freshman George Coval will prob
ably handle the second contest.
The Lions will use either junior Roy Swanson or
soph Jim Conroy on the mound in the first game.
Swanson, State's best hurler last season with a 6-5
record and a 2.05 ERA, had a good spring trip, as did
Conroy. For the second game, either of these two, or
Bill Micsky or Terry Yearick could get the nod.
George Washington was not overly impressive
last year with a record of 13-16, 7-7 in the Southern
Can Army be Hurdled?
PULLING THE HURDLE load for State is senior Chuck
Harvey, whose points will be vital if the Lions hope to
upset a deep, balanced West Point squad in the season's
opener. The action starts tomorrow at Beaver Stadium

Conference, but as Medlar nonetheless says, "they
are a good baseball team that was in the thick of the
Southern Conference race all last season." The Col
onials will have an edge over State in that they will
have played 11 regular season games by Sunday.
The Colonials' bright spot is pitching where their
mound staff is led by All-Southern Conference selec
tion Hank Bunnell. Only a junior, Bunnell has a two
year combined record of 15-6 with an ERA of 1.66.
Last season he led the conference in wins with six
and strikeouts with 79. The righthander is also a hit
ter, having batted over .300 both years.
Besides Bunnell, top pitching prospects for
George Washington include junior Chuck Kendall (4-
2), lefty Dick Baughman and ace-reliever George
Korte.
The rest of the Colonial lineup will be headed by
senior catcher Eric Spink, who led the team with a
.365 batting average last year. The infield will include
senior Cliff Brown (.216) at first, sophomore Dave
Ritter (.270) at second, freshman Sam Perlozzo at
third and senior Bob Dennis (.290) at shortstop.
In the outfield, either Bunnell (.308) or
Baughman (.208) will be in center when not pitching.
Left will be handled by sophomore Bill Collin - . (.233).
while either of two seniors, John Comitz (.130) or Bill
Knorr, will be in right.
For State, the major problem for this weekend,
especially if Bunnell is on the mound, will be hitting.
"Our pitching is good and the defense will be ade
quate." Medlar said. "But we still need some of
fensive punch."
The Lion nine seems ready for the long season
ahead. Now if Mother Nature would only cooperate...
