Three Local Schools Have Girl Managers ByRICRKAUFFMAN Education Editor Necessity has mothered an innovation or two in its time. Take local student sports managers, for instance. Three schools have switched to girl managers, two of them because, the coaches had difficulty getting boys to do the job, and a third, because the coaches were concerned with team morale and building greater spectator interest. Such a break with tradition would have been unheard of only years ago if only for the fact girls aren't allowed in the boys locker room. Nothing has changed along that line.

Girls are stiQ unwelcome guests hi the boys locker room, but coaches have discovered that's no real handicap. The girls can do the job without breaking that tradition. Dan Rossi, coach of Leba- non High School's wrestling team, introduced the girl- manager program last year, found it successful and continued it this campaign. Commending his four girl managers for their hard work, he said he borrowed the idea from Millersville State College. The girls' work has included cleaning the uniforms, mopping the mats, keeping the time and score at matches, giving haircuts and acting as student-trainers when the trainer is busy with another player.

Explaining their success at performing some of the jobs Daily NEWS Pho(o FEMALE SUPPORT Ready with a dry towel or a refreshing squirt of water, Donna "Chip" Cuipylo provides female time-out support for the Lebanon Valley College basketball players. boys frown at, Donna Treida said, "The guys just are net dependable enough." Another school to introduce girl managers to its wrestling program has been Annville- Cleona High School, where 50 girls from the junior and senior high school belong to a club called the Mat Maids. The Mat Maids do just about everything from welcoming the match official and opposing team to keeping score, cutting oranges, mixing Gator ade, making signs for the matches, phoning in statistics, selling candy and holding bake sales to earn money for the wrestling team. "Usually the coaches were running around before the match trying to get things ready," said Dick Eschenmann, junior high coach and one of the originators of the idea at Annville-Cleona. "The girls have taken the pressure off the coaches so they can devote their time to the boys," He said the girls are also a morale-builder and spectator attraction.

The wrestlers are interested in seeing their girl friends there and the girls whose boy friends are not on the team draw their boy friends to the game, he noted. On the local college level, Donna Cuipylo, a freshman from Syracuse, N.Y., is handling the basketball managing chores at Lebanon Valley College. An avid basketball fan who had tired of cheerleading after four of it in high school, Donna said it was "fun to be doing something different" She had known some of the ball players and actually approached Coach Lou Sorrentino as a joke. She said she's happy he didn't take tt that way. None of the girls, players or coaches have run into any problems, and although they didn't want to be quoted, some of the girls said they felt like "one of the guys." One girl noted, however, that the language sometimes gets a little out of hand but that the "guys are so nice at excusing themselves."
