Prospects Strong
For. - - Gym Team • •
Essentially, the same team that last year carried Penn
State to Eastern and National Collegiate gymnastic honors
will represent the Nittany Lions in their international duel
with Sweden's National champions here Saturday.
Gene Wettstone, serving his 15th year as head Nittany
gymnastic mentor, has behind him the outstanding record of
42 wins, 21 losses and one tie.
Under the capable tutelage of Wettstone, the Lions stand
an excellent chance of duplicating last year's seasonal record
of six straight victories.
In the past campaign, the gym
nasts handily defeated such gym
nastic powers as Michigan State,
Illinois, Navy, Syracuse, Temple,
and Army.
The Blue and White compiled
their biggest victory margin
against the Spartans of Michigan
State, while the Midshipmen of
the Naval Academy gave them
their toughest battle. The respec
tive victory margins read 28 and
five points.
At the end of their undefeated
season the Lions traveled to West
Point where they captured East
ern title honors. Not satisfied with
this feat, the lads of Gene Wett
stone journeyed to - Syracuse in
search of National Collegiate hon
ors. On March 28 they collabo
rated with the Nittany wrestling
team to bring double National
lame to the Nittany Vale by cop
ping the number one college gym
nastic honor—the NCAA gymnas
tice crown.

Cage Poll
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (JP)—The
nation's basketball experts are
pretty well agreed on the first five
teams in the collegiate rankings—
but from there on anything, or
anyone, goes. •
For the third straight week Ken
tucky earned the No. 1. slot today
in the weekly Associated Press
basketball ranking poll of Sports
Writers and Broadcasters. The next
four in line were Duquesne, In
diana, Oklahoma A & M, an d
Western Kentucky. That's exactly
the way they were rated a week
ago.
In its only game last week, Ken
tucky racked up Georgia Tech by
a 105-53 score—the second time
this season the Wildcats have
gone over 100 points.
Duquesne whipped St. Francis
94-64 for its 13th straight victory
while once-beaten Indiana belted
Minnesota temporarily out of the
• Big Ten race with a 71-63 deci
sion. The result dropped. Minne
sota's Gophers from sixth to tenth
in the national rankings.
Like Kentucky and Duquesne,
three other teams in the first 10
this week enjoy unbeaten records.
Western Kentucky has won 14
games and Holy Cross and George
Washington nine each.
, Holy Cross moved up one notch
to take over sixth' place from
Minnesota and George Washing
ton jumped from a 12th place tie
into seventh as the Colonials won
impressively' from Georgetown
and Virginia Tech. Oklahoma City
and Duke exchanged eighth and
ninth places, with the Oklahom
ans moving just a few points
ahead.
Spearheading -the Penn State
half of the coming international
meet will be the versatile Finn,
Jan Cronstedt, who owns Eastern
and National Collegiate all-around
honors and who, as a freshman in
1952, brought Penn State National
AAU honors in the calisthenics
event.
Cronstedt's specialties are cal
isthenics, parallel bars, and hori
zontal bar.
It is in the latter three events
that Cronstedt and his Swedish
counterpart, Olympican Bill Thor
esson, are expected to demonstrate
their greatest talents. Thoresson
in 1952 brought Sweden a gold
medal in the calisthenics event at
Helsinki.
The meet, first of the season
for the Lions, will mark Sweden's
first formal competition in this
country.
Co-captains Frank and Albert
Wick are the first set of twins
ever tp captain a Penn State ath
letic team. Both are standout gym
nasts.

(Continued from page six)
Rudy Marisa's push shot from
the corner, Arnelle's foul point,
two quick baskets by Weidenham
mer, and Jim Brewer's lay-up,
gave the Lions a 34-24 lead and
from there on in the outcome was
never in doubt. They held a 38-27
lead at the . half.
The Lions clearly outclassed the
Colgate five in the second half as
they scored swiftly and often, in
creasing their lead to 20 points
midway in the third period.
At this point the Lion lead
might have been doubled. How
ever, Gross used all his reserves
throughout hte contest and even
then managed to hold a constant
20-point lead.
The Lion first five saw only
limited action in the fourth per
iod and Bob • Rohland, Harry
Holm, and Chuck Christiansen
took over the scoring-chores, with
the game ending 78-58

It was after this match that Forme°la stepped into the picture
with his fall. Leading 2-0 and mastering Nieman throughout the
first two periods, Fornicola got his foe into a cradle hold. Once
he had his arms locked around Nieman's neck and leg, it was a
matter of putting Nieman's shoulder blades flush with the mat.
Co-captain Jerry Isgaurey easily
handed Walter Farrell his first
defeat in four contests, decision-
Mg the 147-pounder 11-3. Farrell
scored his points on a reverse and
a "free" escape.
Penn State added six more
team points in the 157 and 167-
pound divisions with Doug Frey
and Bill Krebs winning out on
time advantage. Both matches
found little aggressive wrestling
or excitement for the spectators.
Judd dropped the 157-pound
match, 4-1, to State's Frey, while
Lynch was on the short end of a
4-2 decision to Krebs
State's 177-pounder, George
Dvoroznak, almost had the upset
of the evening. Wrestling Cornell's
outstanding performer this sea
son, Dick Soars, Dvoroznak tied
the score at 4-4 on a controversial
take down in the third period.
Dvoroznak, who was on the of
fensive throughout the match, had
his foe in trouble near the final
seconds of the meet, but Soars
went into a shell, forbidding• any
open wrestling. Penn State still
led, 17-6.

Oberly captured the fancy of the
fans as he employed almos, every
trick to make his opponent face
the lights. He defeated Phil Har
very, 7-0.
For a heavyweight Oberly was
agile and fast. Twice Oberly had a
figure. four hold on his foe, a hold
rarely accomplished by a heavy
weight. In the second period the
aforementioned hold had Harvey
flat on his back, but the buzzer
sounded before the referee could
call a fall.
