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

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

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.

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.

6 Away Tilts Left for Lions
If their-old enemy—the foreign
court' jinx—holds true, the Nit
tany. 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.
Thus far this season the jinx
has accounted for all five losses
with the latest being a 60-56 set
back suffered at the pleasure of
their city cousins, the Quakers.
The record now stands at eight
wins in 13 starts with 11 more
games left in the schedule. Six.
of these are away contests —
Georgetown tonight. Navy tomor
row, Rutgers Saturday, and Col
gate, Syracuse, and Temple thfe
following weeks.-
Bolger High Scorer
.In the. Hoya game tonight the
Lions will be at the short end
in the height department. The
Georgetown squad- has three big
boys with center Hugh Beins the
tallest at 6-7. Playing on either
side of this pivot man are Denny
Murphy, a good one-handed push
shot ace at 6-5, and Bill Bolger,
a 6-5 senior.
' The latter player is the team’s
high scorer who massed 435 points
last year and set an individual
game score record at 38 points.
Other members are Bob Maka
tura, the team’s third highest
scorer, and Lou Gigante.
Beck Stars
The Hoyas had an 8-1 record
before their Siena game last Wed
nesday. Last season’s record
showed 15 wins in 25 starts -with
their biggest -wins over the NIY
