In the infield, Bedenk has first baseman Gary Miller, shortstop Guy Tirabassi and third baseman Steve Baidy back for another sea son Captain Jim Lockerrnan, a centerfielder, and sightfielder John McMullen top the outfield candidates with Don Stickler set to handle the catching chores again. To add to the all-ready happy picture, Bedenk has a good sup ply of capable reserves to pick from before naming his starting lineup. In the infield, there's Bob Hoo ver, Wayne Breisch and John Yeosock. All three are sopho mores who have shown some promise in the early days of prac tice. The outfield supply is also plentiful with junior Rot Rainey and Dave Watkins and sopho mores Doug Caldwell and Dean Witherite battling for starting berths. With Stickler almost ,assured of the starting catcher's assign ment. Walt Krauser, Carl Roy er, Bucky Welsch and Tom Sweirczewski will do battle for the top reserve spot. Pitching, usually a major prob lem for most managers, should be one of the strongest departments on the team with southpaw Ed Drapcho leading the way. Drapcho, considered by several experts to be one of the best col legiate pitchers in the game today, was the team's earned-run aver age leader last season with a fab ulous 0.91 mark. Along with Drapcho. Bedenk has southpaws Cal Emery, Stan Syzmanski, Dave Simmers and Merl Stover and righthanders Lynn Harbold, Ron Smith, John Minnich and Larry Bayer set 5 Fraternities Score Shutouts In IM Bowling Five of six matches ended• in shutouts in Tuesday night Intra mural League A bowling action.

Although he's not having any personnel problems , Bedenk has been handicapped in his practices by the poor weather to a certain degree. But, coaching at Univer sity Park ,for the past 25 years accustoms one to such problems and Bedenk says he expects it. He knows the club will be ready come opening day. Taking a look at the present situation. Bedenk refused to go out on a limb with predictions for this season. However, he did say their past experience should give the Lions a "pretty fair ball club." How fair, we'll find out later in the year. "I was tremendously impressed," says Nick, "by my-first plant tour. When you go through the facilities—meet the men and get an - idea of the prob lems they handle—you can't help but become interested. Add the friendly, informal work atmosphere, and you know right off the bat these people have a story to tell." Nick came to IBM in 1951 with a B.S. in physics. He started as a Tech nical Engineer—in Test Equipment Engineering—working on an analog bombing system. When that project moved from the Endicott to the Poughkeepsie plant, Nick followed it, becoming first an Associate Engineer, then a Project Engineer. As the lat- ter, he worked on IBM's first transis torized electronic computer—the 608. By November, '55, Nick was head ing up Quality Engineering in the Quality Control Division of the Poughkeepsie plant. Recently pro moted to Administrative Assistant to the Quality Control manager, Nick now concerns himself with the funda mental operations and policies of this 450-man division. Quality Control is responsible for the performance of IBM's vast array of business ma chines—from simple sorters and punches to the "electronic brains." "The problems of Quality Control in this business are endless," Nick reports, "and fascinating to the phys icist.

Braves have a better chance to win the pennant this year than in 1956. "We've been through a siege now," he said before an exhibi tion game. "We'll have what iti takes." "Say what you want, there was a lot of pressure on us last year. When you try to give that little extra. sometimes you hurt yourself." Like most of the Milwaukee players, Adcock insists the Braves didn't lose the pennant last year, rather Brooklyn won it. "Man for man we're as good as anybody in the National League. "One. we'll have Fred Haney as manager from the very start and there won't have to be any mid-season adjustments." Adcock considers Brooklyn "the team to beat" and feels St. Louis may move up. . • A PHYSICIST AT IBM?" Five years ago, college senior Nick Hemmer asked himself this question. Today, as Administrative Assistant to the Quality Control manager, Nick reviews his experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful to you in taking the first, most important steo in your comer as a physicist. tion of alloys ... or of the properties of metals, such as the resistivity of germanium.

"Present a job in terms of actual problems," believes Nick s "and you'll get the man's interest— for it's his career and his future that have top priority." How about further study? Nick has taken full advantage of IBM's extensive educational facilities to get ahead at IBM. He took at least one course each semester on subjects within his immediate work area—. courses on digital and analog com puters and on their components such as cores and transistors. He found time to take management courses as well. "If you want opportunity for study," Nick says, "IBM will provide all you want."
