Titles will be determined in ten
classes, just as they were in the

division. Hud Samson, State’s
talented heavy, will move into
the 191 spot.

115-pounder, of Glenshaw. He and
George Dvorozniak, will be the
only newcomers in National com

Shultz Holds Lion Rope Record
By GEORGE BAIREY
“Rope climbing is easy. Any
child with six years’ experience
cari do it.”
Thus, David Owen Shultz, mas
ter gymnastics team clown and
also rope climber for Coach Gene
Wettstone’s crack Eastern champs,
phrased the key factor needed to
scale the 20-feet from floor to pan
effectively.
Ahd Shultz ought to know. The
21-year old senior has already
erased the 11-year Lion record for
the rope climb. He did it with a
3.6 in Rec Hall against Army. The
old record, set in 1942, was 3.7.
Shultz has been climbing since
he was 15, his junior year in high
school. . .
All Credit To Wettstone
Shultz admits that his 3.6 against
the Cadets and Eastern champ
John Ballantyne was his top thrill
in intercollegiate play. The record
breaking time,, coming before one
of the largest afternoon crowds to
attend a gym meet in Rec Hall,
occurred right after Ballantyne
was clocked at 3.7. Previous to
this, Shultz’s best effort was a 3.8.
Shultz, when caught in a semi
serious mood, places.every bit of
his rope climbing success onto the
shoulders of his coach.
“I’d still be less than a mediocre
ropeman if it wasn’t-.for Gene
(Wettstone)” he said. “He taught
me the right techniques through
demonstration and general know

how even though he never climbed
when he was in school.” ■
Shultz, however proficient he
may be on the rope, still has a
first l6,ve other than the rope in
gymnastics. That is the flying
rings.
He worked both the rope and
the rings in Lower Merion High
School until, one day, he was
knocked out cold very uncere
moniously after falling from the
rings. Even then Shultz wasn’t
quite convinced that his talents
lay elsewhere in the gymnastic
world.
His coach, Henry Drumm,,was.
Shultz finished out the season,
his senior year, on both events.
Drumm at the season’s close, told
him in no less certain terms, to
stay off the rings. Shultz, has
ever since then. But with regrets.
Went to Lock Haven
Shultz attended high school
with current Lion gymnasts Bob
by Lawrence and Johnny Baffa.
All were members of Drumm’s
state championship team during
Shultz’s junior- year.
After high school, Shultz went
to Lock Haven. His best climbs
in high school ranged from 6.0
down to 5.0 from his junior to his
senior years. After a year of col
legiate rope climbing at Lock Ha
ven,. his best time was still a 5.0.
' But he has an. excuse. “You
see,” he explained, “Lock Haven,
as everyone knows, is a very
basketball-conscious school. We
(rope climbers) weren’t allowed
to practice because the rope hung

down over the basKetball court,
so something naturally had to go.
The rope climbers did. The only
practice we actually got was in
the half-hour before the meet.”
At State his sophomore year,
when he first came under Wett
stone’s direction, he got down to
a '4.8. “I weighed too much, so I
lost it,” he said simply.
In 1952, his junior year, Shultz
turned in a 4.0. This year, his
best ever, a 3.6. The Nationals

Currently Shultz, at 5’ 10”,
weighs -around 150 during the
