Gymnasts Vie
j Penn' Slate’s gym team will be
liring its big guns tomorrow
when it assaults a strong Army
team at the Point. Unbeaten in
dual meet conipetition ’for three
years and downed only twice in
their home gym in eight years,
Army faces a real threat to its
supremacy in Coach Wettstone’s
Niltany gymnast.
The Cadets were last defeated
in 1943 and it was Penn State
who turned the trick. A strong
'rivalry exists and every indica
tion promises a close meet.’
Stating that the tumbling event
will be the high spot of the meet,
Coach Wettstone is counting on
Hal Frey and Tim Petrolf to
score heavily. Army’s Blazina
downed Frey in this event in
1944, but the State athlete went
on to win the National A. A. U.
tumbling crown the same year.
With both teams evenly match
ed, it appears to the Nittany gym
mentor that the meet may be de
cided by the rope-climbing event.
Competing for State on the rope?
will be S’teve Greene, Stanley
Wirtshafter and Ed Hobart.
Coach Thomas Mullaney’s Army
squad is reported to be strongest
in the horizontal bars, parallel
bars and the rings. Blue and
White hopes are pinned on Frey,
Greene, Walter Glover, and War
ren Neiger in these events.
Some speculation had arisen as
to whether Captain Hal Frey would'
be available to the State squad
because of a dislocated finger, but
Coach Wettstone’ reports that
Frey will definitely compete.

Lions Seek Win
In Owl Clash
Penn State’s unpredictable baf>
ketball team will attempt this sea
son's second win over the Temple
five on the Convention Hall floor
tomorrow night.
In their previous meeting the
Lion passers scored a surprise
•victory over the favored Temple
team when they pounded out a
46-34’ victory on the Recreation
Hall floor.
In the last four games the
State five has met the best com
petiton in the east, breaking ever.
iDy losing two of the tilts to Army
and Navy by one point margins.
If the 'Lion squad should' emerge
victorious from tomorrow’s con
test they will sport a .500 peiv
centage for the v season. The Law
thermen have won seven games
and lost eight in fifteen encount
ers.
The Owls, riding the crest of a
victory wave have swamped West
Virginia, Duke and“ St. John’s of
Brooklyn in the last three tilts'.
This coupled! with the fact that
they are playing on their home
court may toe enough to edge out
the State squad.
• State’s high scoring guard, Wal.-
ly Hatkevich averaging 18 points
per game may be the thorn in
Temple’s side. The Owl’s coach,
Josh Cody had this to say, “Tem
ple has been opposed toy a number
of outstanding players tins season,
but in my opinion Hatkevich
stands out as the best on what he
showed against us at State Col
lege.”
The game between Carnegie
Tech and Penn Stale scheduled to
be played in Recreation Hall on
Wednesday night was cancelled
due to the electrical power strike
in Pittsburgh.
