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.

A Campus-to-Career Case History

Joseph S. Manning graduated in 1950
from Wesleyan University with a B.A. de

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
