PAGE SIX fc: vf *: WRESTLING-ANOTHER '47 SEASON? By looking at the Nit tiny Lions' present wrestling record (4-2); it appears that Coach Charley Speidel's wrestlers, perennial eastern; and national powerhouses, are on their way to another winning season. But don't let that record deceive better judgment. This could be the worst season in the history of wrestling at Penn State and there is a very good chance it will at least tie the 1947 record of having four losses in one year and only three wins, which is the worst record of losses Speidel has ever had. In fact, it was the worst record in Lion history. What prompts this writer to say w* will more than likely have our worst season since *47 is the caliber of opposition the Lion aiilmen will be facing in the next three weekends. Syracuse, Cornell, and Pittsburgh all boast highly powerful teams with the Panthers undoubtedly the East's strongest. All three teams have unified strength in almost every weight | division while the Lions' strength is localized in the four lowerj weights. Lehigh Coach Gerry Leeman—commenting after his teami lost to Pitt, 15-9, last week said the difference between Pittsburgh 1 and Penn State is this: “Pitt has a definite advantage because of itsj tremendous strength from start to finish. State's first four are very', tough, but so are Pitt’s, and after that it’s not close.” (Lehigh beat the Lions. 16-13). Syracuse lost 17-9 to Pitt. but ibis was closer than the score indicates. Pitt won by only one point in a few of the matches, including a 2-1 win by Eastern champion Ed Peery over George Creasoa at 130 pounds. Syracuse's 123 pounder, Ed Carlin, scored an impressive 6-fl win over Bill Hulings, who is one of the best lightweights in the East. These two matches alone prove the strength of the Orange, who are also strong in the upper weights. WALTERS COULD BE KEY Cornell, not so <trong as Pitt or Syracuse, still enjoys a 4-2 record. It )ost to Pitt. 22-8, at the beginning of the season. If the Lions will beat one of these three teams it will probably be the Big Red. But the Lions are at a disadvantage since the meet is at Cornell. Speidel, faced with this almost unsurmountabla schedule, is ■till not to be underestimated. With 34 years of coaching experience behind him. the wiry little wrestling master is continually juggling his lineup to find the right combination. And he may hare found it this week. Les Walters, who was pinned in his only start this year after enjoying a ciose lead for most of the match, has been rounding into top shape the past few weeks and will probably get the 177-pound starting berth against Syracuse Saturday. The regular 177-pounder. Bruce Gilmore, will drop to 167 and George Gray will shift to 157, unless Speidel changes the lineup during the week. This is without a doubt Speidel’s strongest lineup. He has Gil more at a weight where his speed and strength are equal or better than most of his opponents. Walters, a 180-pound football player, is strong and fast at 377 and with some experience can go all the way to the top of the Eastern heap. If this lineup can live up to its known potential the Lions might be able to pull a few surprises in the next couple of weeks. But if the pattern of winning and losing stays intact then it seems inevitable that the Lions will lose at least two more. And with these losses the infamous reputation of tying the worst record over attained by a Lion wrestling team. Scanning SPORTS Sr FRAN FANTTCCI. Sports Editor THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE.

Manning discusses a customer service request with Office Supervisor Catherine Hazleton. Joseph S. Manning graduated in 1950 from Wesleyan University with a B.A. de gree and a major in Bio-Chemistry. But chemistry, he decided, was not to be his career. He became intrigued, instead, by the opportunities in the telephone busi ness, and joined New York Telephone Company in 1951. Today Joe Manning is Business Office Manager in Parkchester, Bronx, New York. In tins position he is responsible for about 27,000 telephone accounts which bill some $250,000 a month. 35 people work under him. “It’s like having your own $3,000,000 business,” Joe says. “And it’s pretty much Bell Telephone Companies offer many interesting career opportunities, as do Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Cor poration.

I’m in charge of all business office func tions, and of personnel training and de velopment. I also spend a lot of time out with my customers, making sure that they have the telephone service they want and need. It’s an absorbing job. “The phenomenal growth of the busi ness is one of the reasons why advance ment opportunities are so good in the telephone company. Since 1943, for ex ample, the number of telephones in our area has almost tripled. Growth such as this, going on all over the country, makes the telephone business especially attrac live to anyone seeking a career with a future.” n JssX.n TELfiPHONB BYBTKM
