Today will mark the return to
action of the surprising basket
ball quintet, idle since December
17, as well as the unveiling. of
the wrestling • and swimming
teams, both of whom get their
first taste , of action of the season,
as well as the new year, on for
eign soil.
We were talking to genial
Charlie Speidel, the Lions' wrest
ling coach, just before he and
his squad departed for the Michi
gan invasion. While the youth
ful mentor refused to .go•out on a
limb• and predict• a successful
season before the first meet we're
quite confident. that the Lions
will give: all their opponents a
tough tussle. this. campaign.
To glance •at the trim, compact
figure of Charlie one would hard
ly credit him with a long career
as a college• coach but records
show that today's meet ushers in
Speidel's 16th season as mentor
of the wrestling Lions. Not only
that, but during this long stretch
his teams have piled up the en
viable record of winning 7B
meets, while dropping only 17
and 'tying two, for the phenomen
al average of .814.

were to hazard a guess we'd say
it's Speidel's great belief, in phy:-
sical fitness. He imparts this be
lief in his boys at the beginning
of each season and if they stick
it out,
,no.better conditioned ath

Unlike. most coaches, Charlie
would just as soon spend his. time
teaching, a, pair of green , young

men. Winning to him is merely
secondary- and if he can impress
on his. boys'. the importance of
keeping their bodies .in good.phy
sical, shape all the time, he feels
he has done a good job.. It's be
cause of this and the wholesome
admiration his squad invariably
has for its coach, that State turns
