( Grier Eyes Record In Meet Tomorrow eO . ..(Pt+Y ! APRIL 30. 1954 zsreakino the Penn State shot put record is fagt becoming a habit with big Rosey Grier, the - Lions outstanding weight man. Grier has bettered the record three times in 'the last two years and may do it again tomorrow when Penn State meets Navy on Beaver Field. If he does, it will be the third week in succession that the 245- pound muscle man, who doubles as a football tackle in the fall, has topped his original mark. Ironically, Grier's biggest com petitor for the honor is his room \ mate, Charlie Blockson, who held the record briefly this winter. Penn State's track duel with Navy on- Beaver Field tomor row, will start at 1 p.m. instead of 2 p.M. as is listed on the spring , ,sports schedules. The time has, been moved up be cause of the • Blue and White game, scheduled to begin at . 3 p.m. Field_ events will begin at 1 p.m. and running events will get underway at 1:30. Blockson set the new mark in the 1953-54 Indoor IC4A meet in Madison Square Garden in March when he powered the shot 51' 3W', 'more than two inches better than Grier's best performance to that date. Grier had erased Chuck Dra, zanovich's name from the books in 1952 when •he tossed the 16- pound ball 51' 1 / 8 " against Army in an indoor dual meet. Draz's mark was set in 1950, an even 81 feet. Then came the 1953 spring sea son and Grier took over again. In the Ohio Relays he jumped back ahead of roommate Block son with a 52' 9 1 / 2 " performance arid a new record stood. A 'week later in the Penn Relays, he step ped into the circle and topped the old record again, this time with 52' 3 3 / 4 " heave. • Tomorrow the pair will be at it again.

Every member of the Lion team, with the exception of Bill. Ziegler, will be looking for his first vier tory of • the season.• The netters will also attempt , to repeat last year's victory . over the Pitts= burghers. , The Nittanies opened on a sour note Wednesday when they drop ped 'an 8-1 verdict , to Navy. Bill Ziegler,' playing in the number': three position, was the only net r ter who could turn in a win. His came in straight sets over Navy's Pat Gallagher 6-3, 6-3. After the. Duquesne encounter, Coach Sherman ' Fogg's charges will be idle until Wednesday when they will again play host, this time to a newcomer on their schedule, Juniata College. bility that Blockson who is ru- mored tr be "out to get" Rosey's mark, could shuffle ahead once again.

A CAMPUS -TO -CAREER CASE HISTORY "Training can really be interesting. I found that out when I joined A.T.&T.'s Long Lines Department after getting my B.A. at Cincinnati and my M.A. at Michigan in '52. Long Lines is the organization specializing in Long Dis tance communications. I was put in the ,training program, and there wasn't a "dull minute. "For instance, one of my jobs in the Traffic. Department was estimating the exact number of calls that would be placed in a city on Christmas Day. My estimate was off by only 68 calls! "Then in the Plant Department, I made a study of damage done to a certain cable. Found out that the most damage occurred in an area used by hunters. Some special public relations work among hunters helped' improve that situation. Lions Face Hobart Today; Arnold Back For the first time this year, the Penn State lacrosse team- will be at full strength when they meet Hobart today at Geneva, N.Y. Coach Nick Thiel announced yesterday that Captain Dave Arnold will re turn to action today after a layoff of about a month due to an injury received in pre-season drills Arnold's return will bolster the midfield and will give Thiel a chance to add another player to the attack. George Bickelhaupt, who has been used in place of Arnold, will move up to the attack where he will take the place of Ronnie Youtz. Youtz will join Frank Locotos and Joseph Erwin on the second attack line. The Lions will run into a father and-son combination at Geneva today. Babe Kraus, Hobart's coach, will' bank heavily _on the performance of his seasoned at tackmen, one of whom is his own son, Jon Kraus. The junior at tacker is one of three all-Ameri cans who returned from last year. As an undergraduate at Hobart, coach Kraus won varsity letters in lacrosse, football, and basket ball. During his career at Hobart he has been head football coach and director of freshman athletics. In 1932 he was appointed director lof athletics and has held that post since. Players under his tutelage have consistently won all-Ameri can rating and have been honored BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM by selection for the North-South all-star classic. Now faced with the biggest re building job of his career, Kraft must depend chiefly on his ex perienced line of attack—Kraus Jr., Captain John Snape, and Bill Burhans. Evidence of the probleth confronting Kraus may be seen in the fact that among the 23 men who comprise the squad, only four are seniors. And just four letter men are numbered among, the 5 juniors and 13' sophombres. The lineups: Penn State Klein A Reed A Snape (Cap . t.) Bickelhaupt A Arnold(Capt.) M Fulton Hathel Hay Collett Weidner P McKnight Bell G Farnswoptis Surprise Package Newest addition to .the Pei State golf team, Bob Stiaith Williamsport won all-University intramural honors a year ago. iiTAT i g gitz ....„ DICK WALLNER, '52, left a \ trail of work as he whirleil through a year of telephone training. Here he recalls the variety of his training jobs (Reeding time: 36 seconds) "And in the, Commercial Department, I helped analyze the communication prob lems of one of the largest textile com panies —it had widespread offices and plants. The recommendations made are now in use. "The variety in my training has carried over to my regular job here in Cincinnati. My job is to see that good service is maintained for private line customers pipeline and power companies, theater TV and the like. Every day is different. "As far as I am concerned, I've found my career." Like so many college people who hare joined the Bell System, Dick has a job he enjoys.
