50 Gymnasts to‘Vie in EIGA's
By GEORGE BAiREY
More than 50 gymnasts from five Eastern Inter
collegiate Gymnastic Association schools will be
on hand at West Point today as the first session
of the two-day annual tourney for top Eastern
honors gets underway.
Schools represented will be the Eastern champs
—Gene Wettstone’s Nittany Lions—the host school*
Army, and Navy, Syracuse, and Temple.
The all-around competition will begin at 2 p.m.
today with the other six events scheduled for to
morrow. The competition tomorrow will be in the
tumbling, sidehorse, horizontal bar, rope climb,
parallel bars, and flying rings events.
Wettstone and his 12-man traveling outfit will
leave for West Point this morning by car.
Lions To Be Tough In Nationals
The 1953 tourney, the first showing of the gym
nasts since their conquest of Army last week for
the Eastern team title, also serves as a tuneup for
the National Collegiate Athletic Association gym
team championship to be held March 27-28 at
Archbold Gymnasium in Syracuse.
The Lions will be a strong factor in determining
where the National crown shall fall this year. The
men of Wettstone have already felled the number
three and four place finishers of last season in
Illinois and Army in dual meets this season.
The Illini finished third in the nationals last
year with 6014 points, followed by the fourth place
Cadets with 57%. Florida State, the university
year-in-and-year-out associated with gymnastic
power, won the 1952 national team title with 89%

Lineup to 167-Pound Slot
By SAM PHOCOPIO
PRINCETON, N.J., March 13—Penn State’s two-time
itdWA wrestling team arrived here yesterday afternoon for
the 49th annual Eastern tournament and is eagerly await
ing today’s preliminaries which begin at 1 p.m
Speidel, who had announced
earlier that he would send the
same. team in the EIWA’s that
faced Pitt and Army, made one
major change in his lineup today.
He named EIWA and NCAA
Penn State's lineup, accord
ing to Speidel, that will go into
the firuS round of the EIWA
tournament this afternoon (with
season records in parentheses)
is as follows:
123 Bob Homan (7-1-0)
130 Dick Lemyre (6-0-0)
137 Jerry Maurey (7-1-0)
147 Don Frey (5-1-2)
157 Doug Frey (4-1-3)
167 Joe Lemyre (7-2-0)
■ 177 George Dvorozniak (3-3-1)
Hwt. Hud Samson (8-1-0)
champ Joe Lemyre to tackle the
.167 spot instead of the previously
said 177-pound class. George
Dvorozniak was moved up from
the 167 division to the 177-pound
bracket. Lemyre had been wrest
ling in the 177-pound class this
season and has posted a 7-2 win
loss record.
The first round, eliminations,
pitting members of the 16 EIWA
teams, is the first of four sessions
to determine individual and team
champions. The quarter finals are
set for 8 tonight and the semi
finals and finals for 2 p.m. and
8 p.m. tomorrow.
Each team , will get a point
toward its total whenever a man
scores a fall. Other team points
are scored only when a man ad
vances to the semi-finals. Each
team is awarded six points for
an individual champion; four
points for second place; two points

for the second time in EIWA com
petition. In 1951 Frey lost a 7-4
decision. Last year Frey was
forced out of a semi-final battle
with Syracuse’s Ed Rooney with
a shouider separation which also
made Don defauft to Gene Man
frini in the consolations.. Earlier
this season Bettucci decisioned
State’s Frey, 7-2.
The second interesting match
of the tournament will be Dick
Lemyre and Ken Faust, should
they face, one another. State’s
defending champ, who has had all
his opponents perplexed with his
slippery and agile maneuvering,
narrowly escaped runnerup honors
last year when he decisioned
Faust 10-9. This season, however,
Lemyre outmatched the Shamokin
grappler 9-4.
The battle of the heavyweights
will present the third highly
talked-about match should State’s
talented heavyweight Hud Sam
son oppose Werner Seel of Lehigh.
Seel owns the only victory over
Samson this season. In high school,
however, the impressive Samson
defeated Seel, 4-2. This battle,
therefore, will be the rubber
match.

This season the Lion gymnasts nipped Illinois at
Champaign, 111., 67Vfe-60%. Illinois'has since then'
gone on to take the Western Conference team
championship for the second year in a row.
First things first, the Lion gymnasts will be
concentrating their efforts on the six individual
crowns and an all-around title today and tomorrow.
Sophomore Jan r Cronstedt will be in the top
pressure spot of the whole tourney: Cronstedt, the
1951 all-around and H-bar Eastern titlist, will have
his work cut out for him in both events.
The ' all-around, department is loaded with
potentially-powerful gymnasts such as Temple’s
triple-threat performer, John Jengo, Hal Lewis of
the Naval Academy, and Mike Tmka of Syracuse.
Trnka finished third in last season’s all-around
standings, and Jengo sixth.
Schwenzfeier, Procopio Top-Seeded
Lewis, after sitting out over half of the 1952
season because of a fractured leg, is all set for his
final fling in Eastern gym circles. The Middie won
the EIGA H-bar crown in 1951 as a sophomore and
has administered the’dnly defeat to Cronstedt on
the H-bar this year.
Other Lion performers seeded at the top of the
heap are Karl Schwenzfeier and Tony Procopio
in the all-around competition, Bobby Lawrence in
the sidehorse, Dave Shultz in the ropeclimb, Jim
Hazen in the flying rings, and, A 1 Wick on the
