WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 18. 1954
Lion Gym Team Opens
Against West Virginia
Penn State's gymnastics
team, minus the services of
1955 Eastern and National all
around champion Karl
Schwenzfeier, will be seeking
its fourth consecutive Eastern
Intercollegiate Gymnastics As
sociation crown when it opens
the season on Jan. 28 against
West Virginia at Morgantown,
W.Va,
The highly-touted Lions have
lost only one match—to Illinois
in the past two seasons. They
were second to the Illini in the
national gymnastic i finals last
year, but Schwenzfeier won
the National individual title.
He won the Eastern! title earli
er in the year. His! other feat
was the winning of the AAU
crown, which made him the
first man to score A triple tri
umph.
Schwenifeier Loss To Hurt
The loss of a performer of
Schwenzfeier*s caliber un
doubtedly wiU, hinder the
Lion's chances to 4 great ex
tent. But Coach Gene Wett
stone, realizing last year that
he would need a more than
capable replacement when
Schwenzfeier graduates, has
one of the most brilliant pros
pects in the country to take
Schwenzfeier 1 * place. He is
Determined in College
Bob Ramsay, who disliked bas
ketball as a schoolboy, is slowly
emerging as one of Penn State’s
best. Lion coach John Egli thinks
the Munhall giant (6 feet 7) will
develop into a “take charge guy"
before he finishes. A junior, Ram
say says he was practically forced
to play the game as a schoolboy
because of his height. “But when
I came to college,” he adds, “I
was determined to make good in
the sport.”

What young people are doing at
Young scientist
works on new ways
improve metals
Today scientists and engineers face one of
the toughest barriers of all the “metal
barrier.” Modern technology has progressed
so rapidly that today’s metals can’t meet the
tremendous demands placed upon them. For
such fields as aviation, electronics, atomic
energy, present metals must be improved and
new kinds of materials must be developed.
One of the young men playing a role in
this new and important field is 30-year-old
Dr. Roland P. Carreker, Jr.
Career's Work tnterestiftf, Vital
As a research associate in the General Elec
tric Research Laboratory’s Metals and
Ceramics facility, Carreker’s chief concern
is the improvement of metals through new
processing techniques.
In his work, Dr. Carreker has dealt with
such important metallurgical problems as
metal failure in high-speed turbine rotors,
determining the strength of pure metals
from —-425°F, the temperature of liquid
hydrogen, to 2,800°F and economic studies
of new metallurgical processes.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Carreker came to General Electric in
1947, he already knew the work he wanted
to do. Like each of our 25,000 college
graduate employees, he is given a chance to
grow and realize his full potential. For Gen
eral Electric has long believed this: When
fresh young minds are given freedom to
make progress, everybody benefits the in
dividual, the company, and the country.

his charges through rigid work

every event in that meet.
One week following the West

the Lions last year.

Pittsburgh in its only match
this year.
On Feb. 18 the Lions journey

to encounter another service
team, Navy. They close their
season with Pitts burgh on
March 3.
