Experienced Syracuse Matmen
Not Living up to Expectations
Experience may be the best
teacher, but don't bet on it. Just
ask Syracuse's dynamic wrestling
mentor Joe Scandura what we
mean.
Scandura has about all the "ex
perience" be could want at Syra
cuse this year—what with seven
two-year veterans composing
most of his team. And yet the
Orange grapplers have managed
to compile only a 2-3 record.
Because of all their veterans,
EIWA observers expected a lot
of the Syracuse matmen this
season. But thus far they have
been very disappointing.
The New York school's only
victories have come against ra
ther weak opposition—lthaca Col
kge (26-10) and Army (23-5).
However. its defeats have been
to the three strongest teams in
the ElWA—Lehigh (25-12), Pitt
(20-5) and Cornell (17-10).

iKeg Entries Due
Monday at Rec Hall
Entries for the second ann '-
University handicap bowling tour
nament will close Monday. The
tournament will be held from Feb.
24 through March 2 at the Rec
reation Hall alleys.
The event, according to tourna
ment director Jordan Love, is
open to all University personnel
active in local bowling leagues.
The team fee is- $7.50 and the
doubles fee is $3.00.
Ken Hostermart's soccer team
set a new scoring high at Penn
State in 1957-56 goals in 10
games. The previous high was 46.
Terrence Patrick Brennan, that 29-year-old elder states
man of Notre Dame football, is one of the most impressive
persons I have ever met. I talked to the astute Mr.-Brennan
Wednesiiay night at a high school football banquet in West
ern Pennsylvania and I must confess to my instant liking
for the gentleman from South Bend, hid.
He was the guest speaker at
the festivities which included
among other illuminaries, Penn
State's own J. T. White, Steve
'Garban and Richie Lucas; Pitt's
Vie Fusia and Bill Kaliden; and
Joe L. Brown of the Fixates.
I first gained high regard for
Brennan during his after-dinner
speech, but after the affair I
;caught him relaxing at the local
country club.
"I read where you spoke against
the new two-point conversion
,rule instituted in college foot
ball," I said quite auspiciously.
"Why do you feel that way?"
don't think there was any
reason to change the rule."
Brennan replied. "If they have
a problem, they should modify
a rule or throw it out alto
gether. But there was no prob
lem in this case. The change
was so fast it was made before
we knew it. I think they could
Ihave moved the goal posts tip
to the goal line. That would
have been just as good and it
would have kept kicking in the
game.
"I t h ink they're getting the
game all mixed up now, with
high schools, colleges and profes
sional teams playing under dif
ferent rules. Almost every coach
I've talked to feels the same way
I do, including Art Parseghian, of
Northwestern, Jack Mollenkopf
of Purdue and the Pitt coaches?"
"Well, Terry." I said, "now
that I know your opinion on the
new rule, I'd like to know how;
you felt .about the past season.
How did you feel after beating
Oklahoma?"
"That was one of my great
est thrills." the cooperative gen- ,
tleman answered. "Tba2 was a
prestige win, but I don't think
it was the best game we played.
Our best games were the last
two—against SMU and South
ern Cal. It was in those two
that we played outstanding
football both defensive and of
fensive. In the Oklahoma game
we did a good job on offense
but not defense.
"Actually," Brennan continued
without_ any interruption from
tthis corner, "our key game was
ithe opener against Purdue. We
!had to get the confidence that we
tcould win; and we did. Army
made us. We proved then that
lwe had a team that could come
back with the odds against us."
"How do you think you'll do
this year?" . 1 queried.
`I have a lot of veterans back,"
Brennan said very calmly, "but
we'll - have to be very fortunate
,to do as well as last year. Last
;year we had to go out and prove
that the 1956 season was just a
'mistake. Everyone was mad in
cluding the coaches. After all, we
t had been highly criticized after
that losing season.
"But this year, the people
will expect us to win. However,
to be a great team, you need
speed: and we don't bays it.

"We had a good crop of fresh
men and we're expecting a lot
out of them, including . three
Pennsylvania boys,_ Myron Pot
tios, Torn Pantz and Red Mack.
However, you can't put much
faith in a freshman. They have
to learn too much in too little
time before the.season starts. But
I will say this:" we feel that, be
ore they graduate, Potties, Pant;
and Mack will be three of the
greatest football players in No
re Dame history if they play the
way we feel they can:'
"This brings up a subject," I
said, "How do you compare Penn
sylvania High School football
with the rest of the country?"
"High school football runs in
cycles." Brennan replied. "But
the high school football played
around hese is a good as any
where in the country and ihai
includes such strongholds as
Ohio, New England and Texas.
Pennsylvania is s o ad' fp
