WEDNESDAY, APRA. 21, 1048 Olympic Gym Chatter Joe sports fan of Nittanytown knows a good thing when he he sees it. Proof is that all reserved seats for the final Olympic gym tryouts and National Amateur Union championships in Rec Hall have been sold. Only a "limited number" of unreserved tickets remain in the AA Office, Old Main Spectators at the May 1 event won't all hail from the Nittany Vale, however. Helping to swell Rec Hall to the bulging point will be at least 2000 outside fans—many from as far as California —who'll journey to State College to witness this contest of inter national scope. Nittany-Coach Gene Wettstone, who's directing the College's Saidof hosting the huge event, marvels at the influx of entries. Said Wettstone, "For the last few days entries have poured in from all over the country. This year we are certain to have a new record in number of entries." He added, "We even have five gymnasts coming from Mexico, two of them Central American Olympic champions last year." Omer 100 athletes are slated to compete for NAAU titles, with the 1947 champions in all events returning to defend their crowns. Gymnasts from distant California will be present, among them Garvin Smith, rope climb titlist who'll be one of eight rep resentatives of Los Angeles City College. Other far western schools sending their gym favorites are San Diego State Teachers College, Los Angeles Junior College and the University of California. Jumping back to the Lion scene, seven Nitta,nymen will com pete May 1 for individual NAAU championships and, as a group, will vie for the NAAU team title, which the College captured in 1043 and 1945. • Only other college to annex the team championship since its inauguration in 1914 was Illinois in 1940. For the last two years the team champ has been the Swiss Gymnastic Society of Union City, N. J. Added incentive—in the form of possible Olympic berths for the London Games in July—will motivate two Lion all-around stars, Ray Sorensen and Bill Bonsai'. They'll enter six events with a double aim—to cop NAAU championships in individual events and to amass enough points in all six to insure a place on the 1948 United States Olympic contingent. This topnotch Lion duo will buck terrific competition in side horse, calisthenics, long horse vaulting, parallel bars, horizontal bar and rings. In 1946 Bonsall dfeated all corners to win the NAAU rings event, while Sorensen last year was tops in calis thenics. The phenomenal Steve Greene, Lion infantile paralysis victim, will be a strong contender for NAAU honors on the side horse and rings. Greene is not slated to enter the rope climb in which he triumphed for three straight years, 1944, 4945 and 1946. Seeking an NAAU toga will be Bill Meade, ace Blue and White tumibler, while Joe Linn and Norwood Lawfer, rope climb specialists, will battle for national championship in that event. To round out the Lion field of seven gymnasts, a newcomer to Nittany ranks, Stanley Lourimore, will compete in the Indian clubs contest. Next Saturday will mark the appearance of the first athletes to arrive from outside State College. They'll be housed in Nit tany Dorms and will join Nittany Lion gym stars in the final week's practice prior to the biggest sports day Rec Hall has seen in many a moon.
