TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1971 And they say baseball's dull Penn State's heaviest hitter defends Lions with home runs By TERRY NAU Collegian Sports Editor Okay, Mark Tanner, just how are you doing it. Hitting those home runs, I mean. You aren't as big as Mike Egleston. You bat seventh in the lineup. You ground out ' when people are watching and then hit home runs while the campus is en raptured with the Blue-White football game. Egleston, as everyone re members, is the huge first baseman, who led Penn State batters in everything from in tentional walks to home runs last year. Collegian sports writ er Jay Finegan once wrote that Mike resembled a rhinoceros charging a jeep when he ran the base paths.. So how do you do it, Mark Tanner? Let's have an account of those four home runs and 19 runs batted in you have. How come you never complain when coach Chuck Medlar buries you in the seventh spot in the line up? Get up on the witness stand. Mark Tanner. "Well, that home run I hit on Saturday came on a waist high fast ball," Tanner said as he sat down. "I was just happy to hit it out." About those rbi's, Mark. You're not supposed to be get ting so many from the seventh spot in the lineup, ' "I'm just happy to keep hit ting with men on base," he pleaded. "Every time I come up there are men on base. Maybe the pitcher isn't con centrating on me as much as he does on the number three and four hitters in the lineup. I guess he relaxes a little bit." Do you mind facing lefties, especially the two who slam med the door on Penn State in the second game against Cor nell on Saturday? "Our team has been -facing quite a few lefties recently.

In this play from the Cornell-Penn State doubleheader on Saturday, first baieman Mark Tanner is receiving a throw too late to get the Cornell runner. Mike Smith is doing a dance in the background, me unless they thro.v the curve ball on the outside part of the plate. The fast ball looks just the same from either side." What about your coach, Chuck Medlar? It seems like he never plays the percentages. He had four lefties in the lineup on Saturday, including his clean up hitter (tough question). "Well,' I think he has been doing all right.. He sent Jobn Galluppi (a lefty) up to hit in the second game and Galluppi got a hit. It doesn't make much difference. Of course, now that I've said that I'll probably Penn State hosts Indiana Uni. versity of Pennsylvania today at Beaver Field. Righthander Rick Sherkel will probably get the starting nod.

State's tourney train • elayed Penn State's tournament train, a vehicle which travels through almost anything but rain, finally was waylaid on Saturday after five con secutive wins. , The Lion nine lost the second end of a dou bleheader to Cornell, 4-1 after winning the first game 3-0 on the four-hit pitching of Roy Swan son. The second game loss, precipitated by a botched bunt play which led to four Cornell runs in the fifth inning, may have caused the NCAA District Two committee to look in an other direction for a baseball team come Thursday when it is scheduled to meet. May delay "We may meet Thursday." said committee head Chuck Medlar," or ,we may wait until after we play Pitt on Saturday in a double header."

The Lion netters, still bitter about two early season one point losses to Navy and Maryland, dropped Army, 8-1, for only the second Penn State win over the Cadets in tennis history. Lion coach Holmes Cathrall, who owns both wins, was ec static. "It was our best match and I think it proves we deserve to he rated with Navy and Maryland •in the East. Only Princeton ranks ahead' of us," he said. Cathrall thought the play of number two man Tom Wright was .pivotal in the match.

The second game was a scoreless battle for four innings with the Lion's Jim Conroy control problems to stay even.
