Ag Wrestlers
Top T.E. Team
In the inaugural match of the
1954 season*, the Texas A. & M.
Wrestlers gave Texas University a
sound 31-5 beating.
Possibly the most outstanding
match of the Saturday performance
was between the Aggies’ Rudy
Henson and Texas’ James Rundel.
This was a very fast match, and
the crowd of approximately 1,000
cheering fans saAV Henson flash
to an impressive 9-1 Avin. Lawrence
Winkler, the outstanding tackle of
last semester’s varsity eleven, came
from behind to pin Seth Hinkley,
Texas University’s 235 pound
heavyweight, in 2 minutes and 8
seconds in the last match of the
afternoon.
Texas failed to shoAV up with a
full team, and had to forfeit in two
weights. This was rather unfortu
nate in that the spectators did not
get to see William Allen and Dick
Cappel, two of the finest wrestlers
on the Aggie squad.
By weights, the match progress
ed as follows:
123—William Allen, A&M, won
by forfeit.
130—Robert Blumberg, Texas,
pinned Paul Breen, A&M, in 6:28.
137—Dick Cappel, A&M, unop
posed, Avon by forfeit.
147—Rudy Henson, A&Mj out
pointed C. A. Rundel, Texas-, 9-1.
157—Jerry Pyle, A&M, pinned
Fred Sewell, Texas, in 2:37.
1G7—A1 Rial, A&M, Avon- over
Dave Sweeney, Texas, by score of
7-3.
177—Kenneth Jones, A&M, pin
ned Richard Fortick, Texas, in
2:18.
HavL—Lawrence Winkler, A&M,
pinned Seth Hinkley, Texas in 2:08.
Final score 31 - 5.
IT’S A FAST TRACK!
BEAUFORT, N. C. </P>—A high
way patrolman flagged down a
speeder near the junction of High
way 70 and 101.
“Don’t you know the speed
limit?”
“Sure,” the driver replied, “it’s
70 miles an hour. It says so on
that sign there.”
The cop looked at the marker
for highway No. 70.
“Good thing I caught you before
you reached Highway 101,” he mut
tered, making out a ticket.

MEET YOURSELF-
lO YEARS FROM NOW
Ever wonder what you’ll be like when the class of ’54 holds
its 10th reunion? If you started to work for one of the
Bell System companies after graduation, here’s a pretty
good idea.
INTERESTING. RESPONSIBLE WORK. Perhaps a Development
Engineer with Bell Laboratories, exploring the application of
fundamental new electronic inventions to telephone communi
cations. Or a Transmission Engineer, helping to provide the
telephone needs of an entire state. Or a Supervisor in the
Traffic Department, responsible for the speed and quality of
local and long distance service in several cities and for the
personnel relations of a large number of employees.
WE MAKE SURE THERE ARE PLACES TO GO: The number
of college men hired is related to the number of administra
tive and technical positions expected to be available in the
next 10 or ] 5 years. It is our policy to fill these positions from
within our organization.
ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL GRADUATES are among
our particular needs. I lie specific degree is not *us im
portant as the total effect of your college training.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MILITARY STATUS, contact your
Placement Officer soon for details on the opportunities for
employment with the Bell System. *
