. Now that all the deserved fan
'fare and plaudits for our great'
basketball, .team have died down,
,the wrestling and b'oxing cam
paigns are drawing to a close,
we would like-to dig out of ob
scurity a Penn State team which
has earned a.high rating among
the country’s best. Strangely
enough, that team has been forc
ed to earn-its recognition on for
eign soil, since the students here
have-been' slow to acknowledge
its great record.
To.the-many thousands here at
State ..whoi. are unaware df the
fact,: the.. Lion gymnastic squad
just completed its dual-meet sea
son with- five victories and only
two-defeats to gain third place
in the.. tough Eastern Intercol
legiate League. Numbered among
her victims were Minnesota, Chi
cago, Princeton, M. I. T., and
.Navy, last year’s eastern"' title
holder.
‘ The only two setbacks were
Sustained- on away, trips and it
took a heartbreaking 28-26 de
feat toy Temple to keep the Lions
fromrdaiming a share of .the title
in their first year’s competition
in tfie league. "
