Werner, seeing that the Ter

prising changes in his e try list as
the meet was no contes , after the
first three events.
Most prominent - . ong the

hurdles before, was a - rprising
winner in :15.6.
Ogier Norris, winn r of the
pole vault with a 12' •ap, made
his varsity debut in th- 120-yard

Softball Tilts
The Thompson - Kappa Kappa
Gamma tilt provided nerve-tight
ening action in the coed softball
league semi-finals Thursday when
the dormitory freshmen overcame
a three-run deficit in the final
inning and edged their rivals 5-4.

the game was KKG's hurler, Meri
Miller, who gave all she had in
defeat. Besides pitching a fine
game, she scored one of her team's
runs.
Miller held her opponents to
one run up to the last inning
when the frosh team sailed ahead
for the win.
After Betsy McKenzie and Ra
chel Waters scored in the top of
the last inning to post the score
at 4-3. Betsy Ives slid home—
head first—on Pauline Hoffman's
single to make it 4-4.
Hoffman then scored the win
ning run when Sally Jervis lined
a hot sizzler to the mound.
Catcher Mary Mergott scored
two of the KKG's four runs.
In the other semi-final game,
Leonides bounced Delta Gamma

Needham heading the way in the
hitting column.

rewards such as large bonuses for patents.
WILL MY FIRM BE THE RIGHT SIZE?
D Is it so large I could be lost in the shuffle?
D ls It so small that the work may not
be pure engineering?
0 Is the firm growing, so I can grow with it?
Gilfillan is neither a giant nor a small, lim
ited company. Seven Gilfillan plants are
located in Southern California, with Engi
neering Headquarters at Los Angeles. Gil

of research, design and development, yet
not so large a man gets lost. The individual's
growth is assured by the continuing Gilfillan
expansion program.

opportunities in a diversity of fields?
rl Will these include "tomorrow's" new

GCA radar and all its major improvements,
including the Gilfillan GCA Quadradar—yet

Stickmen Rout Indians,
15-4; Lehigh Tomorrow
With record holder Bill Hess
leading the way, the Nittany Lion
lacrosse team became the sixth
team in 43 years of Penn State
lacrosse history to win six games
in one season when they scored'
an easy 15-4 victory over Swarth
ni re, Saturday afternoon on
Beaver Field.
The win broke the stickmen's
three game losing streak an d
gave them a 6-5 record for the
campaign.
Coach Nick Thiel's • Lions will
try for win number seven tomor
row afternoon against Lehigh on
the local field.
Eight of the stickmen entered
their name into the scoring log
against the Indians but it was
Hess who did the most damage.
The Manhasset, N.Y.. sophomore
ran his record total to 33 for the
season with five goals.
Captain Bob Hamel and attack
man Andy Bergeson were runner
up to Hess with two goals apiece.
Jeff Bostcok, Dick Angell, John
Bonn er, Russ Bovaird, John
Steinmuller, and Jim Griffin
scored lone tallies for the la
crossemen.
Jim White was the only Indian
to pose any kind of an offensive
threat to the Lions by scoring
three of his team's four points.
Substitute Chris AfeMortrie add
ed Swarthmore's fourth goal.
The Lions started strong with
a 4-1 first period lead and they
never gave up their relentless
attack. It was 8-1 at the half-way
mark, and 12-1 at the end of
three periods.
Bonner stretched th e Lion.s'
total to 13 before White scored
the first of his three goals.
It wa s a reserve weakness
which led indirectly to Swarth
more's downfall. They couldn't
cope with the pressure of Nick
Thiel's subs who saw action most
of the final half.
Twenty-five penalties were call
ed against the two teams-12
against the Lions and 13 against
Swarthmore. The rule infractions
proved to be a bad blow to the
Indians for many of the Lions
scores came while a man was
missing from the Swarthmore
lineup.

WHAT ABOUT MY JOB LOCATION?

in operation.. Among these, Gilfillan reputa
