( 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. The experts feel that
Grier is hitting his stride and
will continue to improve. But
they don't strike out the possi-

Tennis Squad
Seeks Ist Win,
Hosts Dukes
-Still stinging after the defeat
it suffered in its opener at the
hands of the Middies of Navy,
the Penn State tennis squad will
open its home season tomorrow
when it entertains the Duquesne
University netters.
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. The friendly rivalry, how
ever, has probably.helped improve
both men's performances.
It might be interesting to see
how the, two- roommates would
get along• if they should ever
happen to tie.

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.

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.
There are also job opportunities with other
Bell Telephone Companies, the Bell Tele
