PAGE SIX Gym Team Swamp Spartans, 70-42; Nip lllini by Seven Points Two impressive performances gave the Penn State gym nastics team a pair of victories over Midwestern foes Friday and Saturday at Michigan State and Illinois. Coach Gene Wettstone’s team drubbed Michigan State, 70-42, Friday and then upended Illinois, third behind Florida State and Southern California in the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships, 67%-6014 Against the Spartans, State grabbed four of seven events. But the lopsided margin came about via State’s tremendous depth. The Lions took the runnerup spot in each event except the trampo line—not used in Eastern compe tition. The Spartans placed one two-three. Lions Sweep Rope Climb Point-wise for State, Jean Cron stedt took top honors, scoring 287 points for first place in the hori zontal bar competition. Cron stedt’s teammate, Mario Todaro, was second in the event with, a 261. The Lions swept both the rope climb and the parallel bar events, while MSC finished one-two-three on the trampoline. Rope climbing went to Dave Schultz, John Baffa, and Norman Yu while A 1 Wick, Cronstedt, and Karl Schwenzfier took the p-bar event. Cronstedt and Schwenz fier were tied. Record Crowd The only double-winner of the match was MSC’s John Walker who took firsts in tumbling (260) and the trampoline (273). At Champagne, 111. the follow ing day, Wettstone’s crew bowled over Illinois before a record crowd of 1067, despite Bob Sullivan, NCAA tumbling champion and runnerup to teammate Dick Browning in the NAAIPs last year, who put on a one-man show. Sullivan took one first, tied for another, and garnered four sec onds inpihng up 27 points, a Mittmen Lose But Show Prom By JAKE HIGHTON Just as some victories can be unsatisfying, some defeats can leave considerable satisfaction. Such was the case with Penn State’s season opening boxing loss to Maryland Saturday night in Rec HalL The Lion mittmen were struck down, 4%-3 1 /£, but they came off with plenty of glow and bright promise. The Terps were obviously sharpened and ring hardened with three previous dual meets, yet State nearly gained a tie. Trailing 4-3 in the final bout before a surprisingly large “off-weekend” crowd, the Lions lost their chance to tie on an Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association ruling. Bill Andresevic, making his heavyweight debut' for State, was outpointing Maryland’s Southern ltmnerup Cal Quenstedt with ten seconds left in the first round. At that point, the ref noticed a cut Andresevic had opened -over Quenstedt’s eye, and the bout was stopped. By EIBA rules any bout halted in the first round of a dual meet is auto matically a draw regardless ;of who is ahead. Nevertheless, Coach Eddie Sulkowski had plenty to cheer in defeat. Two of his standouts, Tony Flore and Adam Kois, came through with spark ling victories to offset the upset loss of Captain Sammy Marino. A newcomer and intramural champion only a month ago, Hank Arnold sur prised with a victory in his varsity debut. And, although ex-IM fighters Stan Engle and Dick Cameron were defeated, both were impressive in first varsity bouts. In fact, Engle looked so good that Sulkowski thought he should have won his 147 bout. Maryland had the better team , Saturday, but not the best individual performer. That distinct tion belonged to State in the person of Flore; The Lions’ classy stylist gained an easy, won derful-to-watch 30-27 victory over Gary Fisher in the 139 class. Kois Wins Easily' State’s EIBA runnerup coolly and calmly picked off,, parried, and blocked punches and tied up the Terp’s bull-rushes in champion fash ion. In the second round Flore scored with crashing counterpunches and landed a hard right. In the third, he easily dodged Fisher’s wild, haymakers and counted' with several fast combinations -of lefts and rights. Kois too won- with ease and in devastating man ner over Hal Mclnnis, 30-25. The Nittany EIBA By TOM SAYLOR Sullivan was first on the paral lel bars, tied with State’s Jim Hazen on the flying rings, and finished second in the trampoline, calisthenics, horizontal bar, and tumbling events. •’ • • Sullivan, Austin, and ~Dick Browning paced the mini .to'the lone sweeps of the evening, crush ing all opposition in tumbling and on the trampoline. Browning was NAAU tumbling king last year and won the event Saturday. Cronstedt set the pace for State with 16 points, winning the calis thenics and the horizontal bar events and placing second on the parallels. Other Lion winners, besides Cronstedt and Hazen, were Dave Schultz in the rope climb and Bob Lawrence on the side horse. In winning the side horse, Law rence whipped last year’s NCAA side horse titlist, Frank Bare, who finished a distant third Saturday. Wettstone’s team will be in active until Feb. 14 ,when it travels to Annapolis, Md., to com pete with Navy.

Flore Dazzles THE DAILY COLLEGTAN' STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Cronstedt Sets Pace to Maryland, ise for Future finalist rushed his foe into corners and against the ropes with telling left jabs followed by looping right hand punches and sharp left hooks. Kois flashed fancy footwork and excellent feints eh route to a win which saw him twice drop crushing right chops to his foe’s chin. Marino Upset Victim Lanky Hank Arnold picked up the Lions’ only other win. Using his height and the effective jab at the end.of a long left arm, Arnold licked Dave Lewis, 29-26, in the 156 division. First-bout shy, Arnold was slow to take the offensive and lost the first round. However, his jab and looping right hand seasoned with a couple of neat one-twos gave him second and third round nod over a foe who pushed rather than snapped his punches. State got into an expected hole right from the start when its NCAA 119 runnerup Marino was victim of a 29-28 upset at the hands of Gary Garber in the- 125 class. An extremely stumpy fighter, Garber used a snappy left hook to great scoring advantage in the first two rounds, while Slammin’ Sammy refused' to play the aggressor. In the third Sam went to work' with his .champion ship style. .He parried and picked off - punches and scored often with hard combinations, but it was too late. . ' First-timer Engle didn’t lack glory in going down to a 28-27 defeat before Nelson Eddy in the 147-pound class. Engle, using, an unorthodox, hands-held-high style, had plenty of confidence and poise while dodging, blocking, and counter punching in experienced fashion. He recovered wonderfully and came out best after- heated ex changes. Howevef, Eddy, scored with enough, one punch hits to get the verdict. Although the bout seemed closer than the 30-26 referee’s score, Sam Butler dropped a decision to Jackie Letzer. Butler stayed even most of the way, but his southpaw adversary landed the Sunday punch twice. In the first round Butler was stag gered with a right cross and in the third was dropped ,to the canvas by a vicious left. An upset seemed in the making during the 165 pound setto between Dick Cameron and Mary land’s Southern champ Ronnie Rhodes. For two founds Cameron skillfully .boxedl the cocksure Rhodes on even terms. In the second round he was blocking well and tying up Rhodes neatly and even had .the audacity to stun. the champ with a hard-right chop followed by a bolo. But in the third round, Cameron ran out of gas. Rhodes caught up with him repeatedly and was dealing cruel punishment until the ref called a halt at 1:49.

Lion cagers will be in for rough sledding this week when they resume their eastern tour and might possibly result in the Lions having only a .500 percent age.
