Between The Lions
William 0. "Bill" Gutteron has been selected to replace the de
ceased Lenny Diehl as coach of the College swimming team. With
plenty of experience behind him, Gutteron has been associated
with Penn State since 1943 as a member of the Physical Education
School faculty, helping to direct the water program here.
The Blue and White tank squad was very unsuccessful in
their schedule over the '46-'47 season, winning but one match while
dropping four. A weak Carnegie Tech team was overcome in the
opener 47-28, whereupon the Diehlmen were engulfed by Cornell
55-20, Syracuse 50-25, Temple 45-30 and Pittsburgh 46-29.
FORMER NAME IN SWIMMING WORLD
Swimming teams at Penn State enjoyed a fine reputation
prior to the wartime and post-war editions, and the new coach
hopes to be able to place our swimmers back on that high perch.
This does not mean on a level with the great swimming schools of
the country like Yale and Ohio State. The water sport is one of
the heaviest accented at these two institutions, and abundant attrac
tions are made available to leading high school, prep school and
even Hawaiian and Canal Zone natators to draw them toward
these colleges.
Gutteron assisted former coach Diehl last year by coaching the
divers, and his two top men, Rocky Young and Mike Kutsenko earn
ed a large percentage of the Nittany points in the five dual meets.
Young, appointed captain for this year, has dropped from school,
so the diving burden will fall on Kutsenko, who was an excellent
number two man to Rocky. Diver Kutsenko was active in the
Allegheny Mountain AAU's this summer, defending both his low
board and high board championships, although he only retained the
former
GUTTERON CALLS FOR CANDIDATES
Gutteron has emphasized that anyone with experience is very
welcome, since no position is secure on the squad. All candidates
should phone the new coach at the Glennland Pool to register their
names.
Last year's ace breast stroker Clyde Bell is currently student
teaching and may not be able to compete this year. Backstroker
Leigh Woehling and freestyler Herb Hirshfield have graduated,
and another freestyler Bill Christy may be ineligible due to schol
astic difficulties.
Heading the returning breast strokers are Grossman and Mit
chell; Bob Schmidt and Bob Meyers will again compete as back
strokers; Mickey Becket will be on hand to supplement Kutsenko
in the diving, with Musselman, Tenzer, Hill and Winton and Walker
freestylers who should help shape Gutteron's nucleus.
NEW COACH'S CAREER
Bill Gutteron's career began years ago along the West Coast,
having been born in San Diego. Following active participation in
high school and athletic club swimming meets, Bill attended the
University of Nevada. Varied California swim clubs were cen
ters of his activities for the next ten years, including the San Fran
cisco Olympic Club, the Long Beach and Los Angeles A. C.'s and
others.
Bill came East in 1931 to coach football at the Bellefonte
Academy for five years. Muhlenberg College in Allentown then
claimed his coaching services for a year, after which Gutteron
moved to nearby Clearfield High School where he directed foot
ball and basketball.
