FRIDAY. MARCH 26. 1954 "Keep It A Secret" Sam's Song By SAM PROCOPIO Collegian Sports Editor It doesn't take an avid collegiate wrestling fan to ques tion why some member of a team is not making the trip to a certain tournament. Whether he is or not, sometimes ques tions should not be answered. However, Fred Nonnemacher, sports editor of the ,Beth lehem Globe Times, was „asked to answer in his column as to why some of the most outstanding Lehigh grapplers were not going to the NCAA tourney at Oklahoma today and tomorrow. The four Lehigh representa tives are Parker Mangus, Joe Comly, Eddie Eichleberger, and Dave Gallaher. Left behind were Alex McCord; EIWA champ in 1953; Jim Mahoney, Gus Filipos, Ken Faust, runnerup to State's Jerry Maurey in the Easterns; and Werner Seel, 1953 EIWA champ and runnerup this year to Navy's Pete Blair. Nonnemacher wrote the follow ing answer: . "Gerald Leeman, Lehigh wrest ling coach, comes up with the answer and definitely not a case of discrimination. Before Lehigh's representatives were selected for the Nationals it was put up to the varsity men to voice their preference. Filipos broke training before the Eastern Intercollegiate championships; Mahoney and Mc- Cord were not receptive to the idea of again making weight for the tourney, and Faust, a very good student, preferred to remain at home to study. The same, we understand, was true of Seel." That was the unwarranted an swer. We feel that he should have never answered the letter. We would have gone along with the following proverb:, "What you don't know won't hurt you." IT SAYS HERE! Most every one had been under the impres sion that Hugh Peery dropped but one match in his entire col legiate wrestling career. It's not true. The first loss was to Penn State's Bob Homan during the '52 season. Homan won 4-2. Besides Homan the only other wrestler, to defeat Hugh was the Russian entry in the 1952 Olym pics. "I beat the Egyptian and the Swede but lost- to the Russian," recalls Hugh. "But he wasn't the best." GIRL BASEBALL PLAYERS? Usually Penn State varsity coach es make requests for candidates. llowever, we received a call for baseball candidates and it wasn't from a local club. It was from Logan A. Gallagher, manager of the All-Girl Mollys—the country's greatest traveling All-Girl base ball attraction. We received the following letter: - To the Sports Editor: "Our ball club can use several girl baseball WRA Results VOLLEYBALL Thompson 1 and 2 35, Delta Delta Delta 31 Zeta Tau Alpha 22, Alpha Chi Omega 20 Kappa Delta Chi Omega 12 Leonides 53.

NICE TALK? In the Kiwanis boxing tournament the "champ" had to be carried from the ring while the loser stood by almost unharmed. It occurred in the 147-pound finals between Billy Joe Curtis, McAlester, 1953 Oklahoma Gold en Gloves champion, and Thomas Woods, representing the state penitentiary. Woods was giving Curtis a solid beating and had him down for the third time when the fans began yelling. They pointed to the result of Curtis' lone good punch—a cut eye, which in ama teur boxing automatically stops the fight and gives the decision to the other boxer. The referee investigated and Curtis got up. The battered Mc- Alester boy was proclaimed the winner and promptly slumped to the floor again. But for the cut eye, the prison pugilist was in fine shape, although more than a little bewildered by his loss. Well, not everyone can lose matches that they won. IT HAPPENED! It did. Italo Orio of Boston who wrestled at Fall River,. Mass., recently billed as Buzz Orio of Trois Riveres, Que., paid a $2O fine in District Court today for assault and bat tery on Arthur Paiva, a spec tator. Judge Benjamin Cook imposed the fine after Orio testified Paiva "called me names ... kept calling me a bum . . . even called me Christine." BADMINTON Zeta Tau Alpha over Delta Del to Delta Alpha .

E., '5O, never heard of telephone traffic work, but what he saw of the job intrigued him He explains how it workedout. (Reading time: 40 seconds) "Communications have always been one of my main interests —in the Navy and at the University of Michigan. So I was very happy when the Michigan Bell Telephone Company invited me to visit their headquarters to talk about a job. "In Detroit I had a chance to look at a number of departments, including one I'd never heard of before, the Traffic Department, I found that, in addition to the engineering of switchboards, its work involved the supervision and the actual handling of customer calls. It struck me like a wonderful opportunity to combine sta f f engineering and field management. "My first impression was right, too, because my work covered both. First, I had on-the-job training assignments in several different kinds of offices local, Long Distance, dial and manual. Then A CAMPUS-TO-CAREER CASE HISTORY BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM Grid Practice Opens Monday , Football will made back into the, Penn State athletic picture Monday when 75 grid candidates report to Beaver Field for the first day of a 20-day practice grind. Coach Rip Engle and his staff are allowed 20 days of practice under National Collegiate rules, but must complete them within a 30 day period. Engle plans light workouts for a few days and then will begin body contact work before the end of the first week. The annual Blue and White game, better known as the "Bucket Bowl," • will climax the training period. The Lion coach's biggest con cern this spring will probably be the problem of finding a replace ment for quarterback Tony Rados who will be graduated in June. Rados was the big man in the Lion offense last season, smashing just about every existing Penn State passing record. Three members of last season's squad, Don Baily, Bob Hoffman, and Norm Paul will all be gun ning for the signal calling berth, along with sophomore Bob Hoch berg. Hochberg showed a lot of promise at the outset of the 1953 campaign, but a dislocated hip kept him out of action for the en tire year. Two freshmen, Milt Plumb, and Joe Ritinsky will probably be watched closely. Both played on Emmett Smith supervises operation of this training switchboard, which he originally helped to design. I worked in engineering, translating esti mates of future growth into the actual number of circuits and switchboard positions required. "Now I'm supervising the operation of one of the boards I helped engineer. Briefly, my job is to see that my district gets the kind of equipment it needs and that what we have is functioning prop erly. Working with people is another major part of my job, too, because I serve in an advisory capacity to the super visors of the Long Distance operators. "Needless to say, I'm happy with my job. A job I didn't even know existed." Emmett Smith's job is with a Bell Tele phone Company. There are similar op portunities for college people with Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Soccer Physical Cards Available Former members of the soccer team and all new candidates, in cluding freshmen, must report to the University's dispensary in the basement of Old Main for their physicals, Coach Ken Hosterman has announced. All physicals must be completed before the first day of practice at . 4 p.m. April 5 on the golf course. Physical cards must be obtained from Hosterman in room 213 Rec Hall or from Ralph Wert in the basement locker room. Cards must be presented before physicals will be given. Earl Bruce's yearling team last fall, Along with Rados, halfbacks Dick Jones, .Keith Vesling, Don Eyer, and Wayne Wolfkeil, and end Don Malinak will be absent. These six were the only senior lettermen on Engle's squad last year. PAGE SEVEP4
