As a player Gelbert was rated as
potentially one of the best shortstops
ever, during his early years with the
Cardinals. A hunting accident caused
him to miss two full seasons, 1933 and
1934, but he made a comeback in
1935 and continued as an active member of that team until 1940.
As a coach, Gelbert was rated by
a group of major league as executives
and scouts as among the 10 best in
the nation. He kept the college in
the forefront among Eastern college
teams. Only in two seasons, 1963 and
1964, did he have losing seasons.
His teams were in the NCAA District 2 playoffs eight times, including
the last two seasons. The Leopards
won the district title five times in
1948, 1953, 1954, 1958, and 1965.
The latter four teams all went to the
College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
During his years at the college,
Gelbert produced a numiber of outstanding players.
Tributes From All Sides
Dr. K. Roald Bergethon, president
of the college said, "The death of
Charley Gelbert brings a sense of
great loas.
'^He was far more than simply a
brilliant coach. Charley was a man
whose warmth and understanding
touched countless people and made
them richer.
"He taught hundreds of young men
to play ball, but he also taught them
team play and sportsmanship, through
patience and persistence, pride and
humility — qualities he himself possessed in full measure.
"Charley Gelbert was a remarkable
symbol of sports succe.ss at Lafayette
and of all that is good in athletics."
Frankie Frisch, who played second
base for the St. Louis Cardinals when
Gelbert was the shortstop, said,
"Charley Gelbert was really tops, a
g:reat player and a fine, clean living
guy. I've often said that if Charley
hadn't had that injury, he would have
gone on to great fame in the major
leagues. H e was one of the finest
shortstops I've ever seen."
Walter Manuel '66, captain of laat
year's baseball team, said, "iHe waa
by far the greatest guy I ever played
under. He was the type of man you
wanted to play for."
Charley
Berry,
former
major
league catcher and umpire and Lafayette athlete, said, "Charley had a
terrific reputation and was a grreat
asset to Lafayette College. His name
will live at Lafayette and in intercollegiate baseball for a long time.
When Charley was in his prime with
the Cardinals, there is no question
that he was the best shortstop in
either league. If it hadn't been for the

Scrap The System
The Pledge's Attitude
Extracurricular Week is over and the living groups at Lafayette have perpetuated themselves for another year.
This annual ritual has been going on in some form or other
since 1855 when the first fraternity was organized here. Last
week's rushing period gave new blood to the living system, a system which today is a deterrent to Lafayette's growth as an educational institution and to the development of its students as individuals.
Consider first of all a problem fresh in the mind of anyone
who has just participated in a week of rushing. Nobody can endure this period without having at least a pang of compassion for
those who must be hurt by the system, those who are not accepted
at all or those who, having been turned away from one place, seek
refuge in another place. Granted that life is filled with misfortune,
but must the college provide a system which by its very nature is
going to hurt an individual simply because he doesn't fit?
But even beyond this effect on the individual, the living group
system is responsible for much of what is wrong among the student
body at Lafayette today. Most basic and most disastrous is the disunion brought about by separation of the student body into 21 individual and autonomous segments. Think of what could be done
for Lafayette as a college if some of the energy expended for the
living group could be transferred to the college. But instead we
lead a segmented existence in which the part too often becomes
supreme over the whole.
It is probably difficult for those who are not students to realize
the importance that the fraternity or social dorm has among the
student body. Sometimes it is almost frightening.
Voting in all-campus elections is done along living group
lines. Election of Student Council officers and members of honorary societies, for example, all bear the imprint of the struggle between living groups. And if anything destroyed the idea of an
honor system for the college, it was the living group system. Why
two years ago the poor, innocent, unrushed, first semester freshmen voted overwhelmingly for honor.
These are the effects of the system. Even the social dormitories, despite claims to the contrary, must perform as part of the
system and so lose much of their possible effectiveness.
The situation is even more unfortunate because the benefits
to be obtained by group living must also bear the disadvantages
of a system which promotes stereotypes, stifles individuality, and
channels activity into areas not always in the best interests of the
college as a whole.
It is also serious because the facilities for those who choose
not to become a part of the system are woefully inadequate. In
fact, until very recently they were non-existent.
Historically the living group system has played an important
role in this college. The first fraternities were founded over a
century ago as a result of a strong student movement. No doubt
they filled a big gap in the life of many 19th century students.
But the question now is whether the living group system that
has this campus in a vise-like grip today is the best way to obtain
the benefits of group living and the best way to serve the whole
college.
Could not the same benefits be obtained if formal national and
local groups were abandoned and students assigned housing and
eating facilities by the college? Experience could still be gained in
living and working together. But there would be no individuals
I
hurt by rejection, there would not be the compulsion to place group
before school, there would be no system governing the life of the
I
campus. This would be a far more natural existence.

Such a step v/ould be momentous, for the living group system'

f opposed by large numbers rf alumni and students brought up to

eration at Lafayette would be eternally grateful, for it would be
:, free to live, to act, and to think—for itself and for the college.

Where To From Here?
As the seniors begin their last semester, there is one great burdensome thought in our minds. Where do
we go from here? This college could
make it a lot easier if a particular
step was taken. Further, it could save
us some money.
The onerous problem of applying
to grad schools is like taking a gamble
unless there is a rational procedure
followed. If we seniors only knew
more particulars about the schools in
our field, we wouldn't be so emotionally involved about the whole procedure. Here most of us are, with a
few applications in, others pending,
completely pessimistic about our
chances. To be other than such, would
be unrealistic. It's not easy to get in,
so they tell me.
That's about all tho nebulous
"they" can tell me, because that's
all "they" knew. To be fair, we can't
blame the profs. They only know
about the schools they went to. How
are they expected to judge others?
The profs may have opinions about
certain schools — opinions which are
standard ones on the campuses across
the nation. For instance: Unless you
have straight "A's" you'd better not
apply to the Yale grrduate school in
English; California Institute of Technology is better than Massachusetts
Institute of Technology; Virginia has
a good law school.
There are certain periodicals and
rating sheets which guide the student.
But after reading these, many questions are left unanswered. And all
^
dUi
the dope begins to sound the same.
At least in high school there was a
guidance counsellor — even if mine
majored in math. But what do the
Lafayette students have? Mr. Cummings does a splendid job in placing
those who, upon graduation, immediately begin earning a living. Would
it be too much to ask the administration to consider obtaining a counterpart to Cummings ? What we confused
prospective grad students need is an
expert to tell us our chances.
To Drink Or
Not To Drink?
Spirits flowed free this past weekend as many of the new pledges took
to the bottle. It was a first experience
for some. And some think right now,
after having a thoroughly nauseating
time with the god, demon rum, that
they will never touch the stuff again.
Others have acquired a taste for the
nectar and are awaiting the next
party weekend.
If anything, the drinking has hastened the maturity of some of the
newly initiated. This is not to say
that such an occurrence is necessarily
good. Witness the stench in the freshmen bathrooms, the throbbing heads,
the bleary eyes. Yet negative causes
can sometimes have positive results.
The guy who came back to the dorms
upchucking will probably not desire
a similar experience for a long time.
O.K., PLiEDGE, the great party
weekend is over. The screwdrivers are
just an aching memory; the blind
dates are just a gross remembrance.
Now you feel like a fratman. Well,
guys, forget it. You're not. You arc
only a pledge, the lowesit of low.
There is now a sharp contrast between the cool brothers who got you
a room for your date and the screaming fool who cussed you out during
your first "dump session." Now is
the time when some of you are debating your choice of a house. You are
bewildered by the change in your
prospective brothers. How could they
be such studs during rush week and
such nurds now? And here is where
the danger called DEPLEDGING liesTo be quite frank, some of you
should depledge. But before you do,
The Party Run
By ERIC STECKLER
It is Sunday morning at 12:30 in
the afternoon when I first open my
eyes and light hits my poor unprotected pupils, so I put on my sunglasses.
These are my trade mark. You can
see me bopping around the biology
building with them any day. The reason is always the same.
And so ended the second of the
three day bacchanalia. The formal
festivities began with the cocktail
party.
4:00 p.m. The cocktail party begins. This is simply a formalizing of
the drinking that was going on (with
breaks for food) since Friday night.
Alumni return, get crocked with us,
and politely tell us that what we are
doing, compared to the crucible they
are going through, is still kindergarten.
5:00 p.m. Alumni prove that they
are still the same old loveable seniors
we knew by being sick.
5:30 p.m. We leave en mass for
the Circlon. This is the standard snow
job for the girls. The waitress looks
like an ugly wonder woman. She will
not serve us drinks. Good thing I remember my flask of K u m m e 1
(smells like rye bread, tastes like turpentine, good for inducing barfing).
At the bar I see my old humanities
prof (who taught me everything I
know about hedonistic philosophy),
sedately guzzling a gimlet. He says
I am drunk. I retort that he is drunk.
We both agree.
8:45 p.m. Wonder Woman finally
hands us the check. I borrow money
from the girl I am with.
9:00 p.m. We arrive jn dancing
togs, black and white herringbone
pants, paisly tie for me and Help
Stamp Out Virginity sweatshirt for
her, and a bottle of rotten chianti
in a big phallic bottle.
9:00 pm. The band arrives. They
look like hoodlums. They strip the
wires to their amplifiers with stilettos. They smoke funny, sweet cigarettes and late in the evening start
jumping up and down, doing things
with their hands. The alumni prove
that they are the same old loveable
seniors we knew by joining them.
9:15 p.m. The girl I am with starts
to grab at me.
9:30 p.m. The band refuses to play
Wipe Out. The drummer has j u s t
gotten married and is afraid that he
will inadvertently break a head.
9:45 p.m. I lose my modesty.
10:12 p.m. The president of the
house gets up on a chair and gives a
rendition of 'When you walk thru a
storm.' He was pretty good.
10:43 p.m. We start tputting wood
in the fire. The alumni prove that
they are the same old loveable seniors we all knew by chucking in the
living room furniture.
10:44 p.m. All alumni who have
not given donations are asked to
leave.
11:08 p.m. Rag comes up stairs
laughing hysterically. Two studs from
Soles have ended up with regulars of
the Pig Brigade. One of them asks
Rag to please bird dog her as she
cannot stand the guy.
12:22 a.m. All alumnae who have
given donations discretely pass dinner
on the living room rug.
1:32 a.m. The band melts into a big
Eventually he will come to the position where he will understand that
three or four drinks can't really hurt
you. Right now, even a small beer
is the farthest thing from his mind.
But there will come a time — supposing that this fellow had the initial
desire to experience alcohol this weekend.
The entire process is just one of
the Lafayette man's step in the maturation process. And, too, let us allow a certain number of kudos to the
fellows who don't have to drink to
know where they stand.
green yellow pool of muck. It seems
that they were paper mache with nonrewindable springs.
1:10 a.m. The Pig Brigade forms
up in the living room, sadistically
stepping on the couples therein, and
leave.
3:34 a.m. A pledge starts cooking
what he says are steaks for us in bacon fat. When I am done, I comment
on the unusual amount of grease.
It is only then that I realize

Letters To
The Editor
WELCOME BACK FRATERNITIES!
We residents of College Hill warmly welcome back the Lafayette students and solemnly hope that at least
several of you have slipped and fallen
on your sno-covered sidewalks, just as
we and our children have.
Perhaps then there will be a flicker, just a faint concern, for old people and little children going to school,
who have suffered from your negligence.
Oh yes, you thoughtful boys are
really popular, just ask any resident
who has had to shovel his own snow
and then plough thru yours!
Name Withheld
MOTHER SCORNS FRATS
The general sloppiness of the Lafayette students is often a topic of
conversation, but the current gripe
(probably considered old hat to those
who have fought this battle many
years) is the lack of responsibility of
the Fraternities to maintain decent
grounds around their buildings.
Every citizen has to remove snow
because of hazard, but the Frats seem
to think they are exempt, hence mothers with children who have to slush
through snow and slip and fall on Frat
sidewalks cannot feel too kindly towards delinquent Frat houses, hence
poor public opinion, and deservedly
so.
If the boys are a w a y , provision
ought to be made for upkeep by the
President or committee concerned to
have the work done.
Little boys who neglected duty in
the old days were sent out to chop
wood, or whitewash a fence. Do the
Lafayette boys need some housemoth.
ers who will send them out to shovel
a little snow?
Irate Mother
ask yourself if you're being fair to
the fraternity and to yourself.
No Agreement On The Purpose
The subject of pledging is a touchy
one. Fraiternity men do not agree on
the purpose of these eight plus weeks
of servitude. Not everyone is conservative — not everyone will beat you
on your buttocks with a paddle until
the blood runs. In fact, such conservative, rah! rah! acts are not typical
on this campus. But they have happened and they will probably occur
again. Nor ia everyone liberal — not
everyone will treat you as a brothel
when you are still a pledge. It is perhaps, unfortunate that a scared freshman hears the loud ones who are often
in the minority. For these loud ones
detract the pledge's attention away
from ths quiet ones, the ones who
think harder and scream less.
This points to one important aspect
of a pledge's attitude. He should, trite
as it may sound: MEET THE
BROTHERS. This means that he
should listen to the opinions of all
tho brothers concerning pledging,
concerning fraternity life in general.
He may like all the boisterous ballyhoo of pledging, or he may not. But
he should, out of all fairness to himself and others, evaluate everyone's
opinions. It is unfortunate that a
house loses a pledge because he complains of the ridiculousness of calisthenics, doggy runs to Jimmy's, and
cruel, demanding upperclassmen. For,
really, pledge, not everyone agrees
with these things.
A
Necessary Bridge T o CroM
Pledging is a bridge which has to
be crossed before brotherhood is
reached. It is only a means to an end,
it is not the end itself. But the concept of brotherhood can be experienced by a pledge if he does one important thing: go over to his house
when it's not required. Only then,
when the warpaint of a dump session
is wiped off, that a brother's worth
can be gauged. Who knows? Maybe
the guy who made you run up and
down three flights of stairs, quacking like a duck, really has profound
thoughts about Nietchze, pot, and
Adam Clayton Powell. But how do
you know if you only see this brother
during the exercise sessions? If you
only visit the fraternity when you
have to, the very aura of obligation
can be nullifying.
Another point to keep in mind,
pledge: when you have troubles with
pledging, talk them over. Don't keep
them inside of you, let your gripes be
known. Much resentment and even
hatred can be prevented if you have
an open mind. And the brothers that
you really respect, will be willing to
listen to you.
Neither should you be too cocky.
You are not a brother yet, you still
have superficial abuse to get in the
form of pushups, situps, cleanups, etc.
If you can't enjoy these things, bear
with them if you really want to be a
brother. Ybu will find that brotherhood is a vastly different world from
pledgehood.

Gamble Named Pard Grid Mentor;
Former Line Coach Given 3 Year Pact
Harry T. Gamble, line coach at the
University of Pennsylvania for the
last five years, has been appointed
by Dr. K. Roald Bergethon, president
of the college.
Gamble received a three-year contract and began his duties at Lafayette on Jan. 16. He replaces Ken
Bunn whose assignment as head football coach w a s terminated on Dec. 6.
Gamble was a succesful high school
coach before going to Penn in 1962
under John Stiegman. He coached at
Clayton (N.J.) High School from
1954 to 1957 and at Audubon ( N J . )
High School from 1958 to 19G1.
At Audubon his teams had an overall record of 24^10-2 in four seasons.
Gamble's 1960 team won the Group
III South Jersey championship with
a 9-0 record and Gamble was chosen
"South Jersey Coach of the Year."
Leaderckip Cited
"I feel we are very fortunate to get
Harry Gamble," Olav B. Kollevoll,
Lafayette's director of athletics, said.
"He has gained the respect of his
players and associates as a coach, a
teacher, and a man. We think he'll
provide strong leadership not only
within our football program, but in
his relations with the entire student
body, faculty, administration, alumni
and community."
"I hate to see h i m leave," said
Penn coach Bob Odell. "Harry has
done a very fine job for me and I
have the highest regard for him as a
person and as a coach. 1 believe he
has the background to be a successful
head coach."
Gamble was one of the two assistant coaches Odell retained at Penn
when he became head coach in 1965.
Odell Successor?
A number of persons close to Penn
Harry Gamble
football felt Gamble would have succeeded Odell as head coach there if
Odell had gone to Wisconsin late last
year when he was under consideration for the head coaching job.
A 1952 graduate of Rider College,
Gamble played tackle on the football
team there. He earned his master's
degree in education at Temple University in 1957 and received his doctorate from Temple in 1956.
He is the author of a book, "The
Pro T Offense in High School Football," published by Prentice-Hall in
1962. Gamble has also written 15 articles on football which has appeared
in magazines for coaches.
Gamble had a tryout with t h e
Philadelphia Eagles in 1952 before
going into the Army for two years.
He was a player-line coach vnth. the
Port Meade "Generals" while he was
in the service in 1953.

The Leopard's next meet is against

An Editorial
With the hiring of Harry Gamble
as the new head football coach, Lafayette has opened up the possibility
for a return to the high standard of
football which the college has enjoyed
in past eras.
After a luncheon interview w i t h
Coach Gamble I came away with the
impression that he possesses not only
a fine knowledge of the game but the
off the field qualities needed for
coaching that have been so lacking in
the last few years.
Throughout his talk Gamble continually stressed the importance pf recruiting, calling this the key phase of
the job in determining the success of
a football program. He hinted at several new innovations to revitalize the
recruiting program in areas of the
country where it has slipped recently
and in stimulating alumni interest in
the recruiting program.
Perhaps the most imaginative of his
proposals was the result of his work as
a high school counselor. He found
most college plans are begun late in
the junior year and so Coach Gamble
said he hopes to meet with high school
juniors and get them interested in
the college early.
Coach Gamble feels that Lafayette
should be able to compete for students
successfully not only against Middle
Atlantic conference foes but also
against m a n y of the Ivy League
schools s u c h as Pennsylvania and
Columbia. He called the college campus one of the biggest assets in selling
a prospect on Lafayette. "It is a picture book campus" he said.
Gamble also .stressed the importance
of good relations with the mass media,
the college professors and his colleagues.
However, no program can t a k e
shape over night and it is up to the
student body to give coach Gamble
and the team its support. The student
body shows that it responds well to a
dedicated and enthusiastic coach as
the turnout at cross country events
last fall indicated. After one meeting
with coach Gamble I think that he is
this type of coach and I hope the student body will show its support at
next fall's pep rallies and games, unlike the non-pep gatherings of this
year.

The victory over Swarthmore last
Tuesday was highlighted by Jeff Tins,
man's pool record of 2:20.7 in the 200
yard individual medley. Tinsman also
captured the 200 yard breastroke.
Other firsts went to Bill Bridgeman
in the 100 yard freestyle, Joel Russell
in the 50 yard freestyle, Ron May in
the 200 yard butterfly. Randy Johnson in diving, and the 400 yard individual medley relay team. The meet
was not as close as the margin of victory indicated, however, since Coach
Bill Lawson chose to swim the second and third units for the most part.
SMITH'S
CATTELL & MONROE
PHONE: 253-8601
The Leopard eager* dropped their
11 th game of the season last night
when they succumbed to American
76-69 in Alumni Gym. The Maroon
raced to a 16 point halftime lead
while playing some of their best ball
of
the season before
American
stomned back with a 49 point second
half to deprive the Pards of their
third win of the campaign. Bill
Tweardy's IS points paced the Maroon attack.
As the midway point of the 1966-67
basketball season approaches, the
Leopard cagers of coach George Davidson find themselves sporting a 2-11
record with virtually no chance for a
winning season.
Before the Christmas vacation the
Pards defeated Delaware 80-72 on the
Alumni Gymnasium floor. What followed that victory can only be labeled
disaster as the Maroon went on an
eight game road trip that saw nothing
but frustration and even humiliation
come the Leopards' way.
In dropping all eight encounters Lafayette seFdom was trounced but never was able to find the propter combination of scoring punch ahd tight
defense that has characterized their
play in recent seasons.
Finally Number Two
Finally, against Moravian
last
Wednesday, the Maroon broke out of
their winless streak in registering a
48-43 win thanks to some remarkable
foul shooting. Lafayette sank 22 of
23 free throws that i n c l u d e d 18
straight in the second half.
Oddly enough, before last night's
game against American, Coach Davidson find themselves sporting a 2-11
on the home hardwood, making many
Maroon followers wonder what happens to the Pards on the road.
The most recent Maroon setback
came at the hands of Colgate on Saturday. The 86-71 loss was the Maroon's tenth of the campaign. After
jumping off to a surprising 7-0 advantage, the Leopards fell victim to a
Red Raider full court press that resulted in six easy layups for the host
club.
Break Press
Late in the half the Maroon succeeded in breaking the troublesome
press and forged to within a point of
the Raiders as the half ended.
In a very disappointing second half,
the Maroon once again were harried
and overcome by the Colgate press
defense. The result was a Raider scoring spree that broke the game wide
open. Azzolina contributed 22 pointa
to lead the Maroon scoring.
The long awaited second win of
the season came against Moravian as
the P a r d s demonstrated the talent
which has gained them national recognition in recent y^ars—free throw
shooting.
The triumph a l s o prevented the
Maroon from the dubious distinction
of tying the longest Maroon losing
streak mark of nine games, set in
1932-33.
Bonstein Off
Tight zone defen.ses on both sides
and inaccurate shooting h e l d the
score down. The near perfect Lafayette foul shooting coupled with an
off-night by Moravian star Tom Bonstein insured the Maroon win.
Lefkowski
and Moravian's Bill
Kemmerer shared scoring honors with
14 points while the Maroon cause was
aided by the all around play of Bob
Clements who contributed nine points
and strong rebounding.
Lefkowski played his best game o f
the year in Lafayette's ninth loss of
t h e season ( 8 0 - 5 8 ) to Gettybsurg.
The sophomore guard pumped in 20
points but the Leopards couldn't keep
up with the Bullets after being tied
at 16-16 midway through the half.
The night before the loss to Gettysburg, Lafayette invaded Pitt Fieldhouse to do battle with a Pittsburgh
team that had won only two of ten
games. After 40 minutes of basketball, Pitt had their third win of the
year by a 58-47 score.
After falling behind by as much
as 14 points, the Pards put o n a scoring surge that resulted in a 23-17
Pitt lead with 2:10 left in the half.
But the Leopards could never get
closer than this in absorbing their seventh road defeat. Azzolina and sub
Joe Stalevicz both netted 10 points ih
a losing cause.
Earlier road defeats came against
Delaware ( 7 8 - 4 8 ) and two losses in
the LeMoyne Christmas Toumamfent
to Maine ( 6 7 - 6 2 ) and lona ( 6 6 - 6 8 ) .
Regardless of your znllitary obligation, or
your graduate school plans, come in and
talk 'with, us now about a career in technical management. "Well need good men

Donahue Plans
7 Meets For
Relay Quartet
Lafayette's varsity mile relay team
expects to compete in seven indoor
meets this winter, according to Coach
Bill Donahue. The Leopards' first outing is scheduled for this Thur.'^day at
the Wanamaker-Millrose Games at
Madison Square Garden in New York.
Donahue, in his first year at Lafayette, has nine men bidding for the
four spots on the relay team. He expects these men to be the nucleus of
a growing program.
Bame* Bc*t
Lafayette's top runner is junior Jon
Barnes. He has the best quarter-mile
time, :49.6, and is the holder of Lafayette's 880-yard dash record at
1:53.2.
A sophomore, Henry Galpin, has
turned in a :49.7 clocking for the
quarter and he looks like a fine prospect.
Two seniors, three juniors and two
sophs are also on the roster. The seniors are Ralph Eberly and John Moffat. The jyniors are Jim Crownover,
Bill Flis and Neil Grove. The sophs
are Bob Maffett and Ed Reibman.
"There's good competition betweep
these boys and I think we should have
a very fine mile relay team on the indoor circuit," Donahue said.
Hoop Statistics
Campus Mourns Gelbert
(10 Games)
The passing of Charley Gelbert
from the Lafayette community was
far more than the loss of a teacher, a
colleague or a coach. Mr. Gelbert's
death can perhaps best be called the
loss of a friend.
Name
For most, the attainment of success
and recognition in what they do is
enough of a reward. No one can doubt
that Mr. Gelbert achieved nearly unparelleled success during his baseball
coaching c a r e e r at Lafayette. His
teams played hard and played to win,
and the results were most gratifying
to the man behind the team. The fact
that Mr. Gelbert's teams often "played
above their heads" and won is a special kind of tribute to the man they
played for. But the measure of Charley Gelbert's success goes far deeper
than his victories on the diamond.
Last spring, during the heat of a
Middle Atlantic Conference baseball
race, Mr. Gelbert consented to a series of interviews, out of which came
the Charley Gelbert Story, a three
part series dealing with Mr. Gelbert's
major league career.
To say that doing this series was a
pleasure would be an understatement.
The frankness, modesty and above all
the kind consideration that Mr. Gelbert extended to me will not be soon
forgotten. He was the kind of man
who called me into his office the day
after an especially crucial MAC defeat to expreas his appreciation for the
recently completed series. He told me

Bungeroth, Bill
It was this side of Charley Gelbert
that caused the greatest impact upon
myself. For others it was his amazing
ability to command the complete respect of all who worked with or under him. Walter Manuel, one of Mr.
Gelbert's finest ballplayers said that
his coach was "the type of man who
you wanted to play for." This is possibly the finest tribute that can be
paid to Charley Gelbert.

We think it's wonderful. As a matter
of fact, that's exactly the way things
happen at Lukens.
We don't try to put people in pigeonholes. We can't. There are no two alike.
We find that good engineers often
make excellent salesmen . . . and that
some good salesmen do even better as
steel plant managers.
Our director of purchases started
with the field sales force. Our manager
of market development was a design
engineer. Our president... a personnel man.
This flexible shifting of people, and
their infinite variety of skills, has made
Lukens a $100million-plus corporation
. . . the 4th largest steel plate producer
in the n a t i o n . . . the world's leading producer of specialty plate steels.
If yoti dislike being pigeon-holed,
perhaps you'd like to consider a career
with us. You can never tell where it
might lead.
