As far as wrestling Coach Charlie Speidel is concerned, his
squad members will soon face their toughest obstacle of the 1956
season. When asked about his coming foes after his team registered'
its second straight win'by stopping Lehigh Saturday, Speidel said:
"We’ve got the battle of the books facing us now. That’s all
we're thinking about.”
Obviously, Speidel will need
his team at full strength once
the final examinations end and
the semester vacation begins.
The Lions’ 1956 record stands!
at 2-0 with wins over Cornell,!
20-6, and Lehigh, 17-13.
Speidel and his matmen, how
ever, still face the toughest grind
of the 1956 campaign with six
meets between Jan. 28 and March
3. After the regular eight-meet
duel season is over, the Lions
will travel to Bethlehem again to
the Eastern Intercollegiate Ath
letic Association tourney, March
9-10, and finally the National tour
nament at Stillwater, Oklahoma,
March 23-24.
The Lions go on a two-match
road trip starting Jan. 28 when
they meet Navy away. One week
later Ohio State will host the
Lions at Columbus Feb. 4. Five
days after the spring semester
opens, Penn State returns to Rec
reation Hall to meet Syracuse,
23-5 victim of Pitt Saturday.
Speidel and Co. will travel to
Illinois and Maryland in that or
der after facing Syracuse, and
will not return home until the
season finale with Pitt, March 3.
Pitt, Penn State, and Lehigh
have been rated the Eastern
wrestling teams most likely to
succeed during the ’56 college
season.

</P) —Tommy Mont, 33, strictly a

today to direct the football empire
built at his University of Mary

nine years.
Mont has been an assistant
coach since 1951 to Tatum, who

graduation, in 1946, and helped
coach the pros in 1950.

He was partially responsible for the com

assignment he met members of the local
Bell telephone company.

Forrest, “were always helpful. I con

very good impression of the Bell System.'
So three months before I was discharged
I wrote to Indiana Bell for an interview,
and subsequently I was hired as a
