Kenyon not only took top hon ors in the tumbling event of the first gymnastic meet he ever competed in, but also the meet served as the first gymnastic meet he had ever even seen. The time and the place were last season’s opener (1952) Jan. 17 in Rec Hall with the Tar Heels of North Carolina. After Kenyon’s win, the Lions went on to swamp the Southerners, 78-34.

Kenyon, from Watertown, N.Y., had never tumbled before he came to Penn State. Or for that matter, he had never worked the trampoline event. From his first dual-meet, he has held down the number one Lion spot in tumb ling. His action on the trampoline has been somewhat limited be cause the trampoline is mainly a Southern Conference event and is not recognized by EIGA rules. Kenyon will work both events in the Nationals next weekend at Syracuse. Divided Time The 22-year-old physical edu cation major is the first to place all the credit for his gymnastic success on Coach Wettstone’s shoulders. “When I first got interested in gymnastics,” said Kenyon, “Gene (Wettstone) worked with me and helped me greatly all my soph omore year.” Kenyon divided his IN STATE COLLEGE FOR ARROW young men’s 127$.e§IE@fit PAGE SEVEIt Time Out time that year between diving and tumbling. As a diver in 1951 he won four first places out of eight meets and picked up a third in the East ern one-meter diving champion ships. He also got a sixth in the Eastern three-meter diving event. “Tumbling is hard to compare with diving,” Kenyon said. “While tumbling, a lot harder of the two, requires more endurance, diving takes into consideration execu tion of body form and finesse.” Kenyon is the second tumbler in two years to captain the'gym nasts.
