"A tune-up for the Easterns," is the way Lion gymnastic coach, Gene Wettstone, describes the coming gym duel between :the Lions and West Virginia. The Staters have already been tabbed Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastic team champs for the second straight year by virtue of their 61-35 romp over Temple's Owls last Saturday. Thus, the State 'Coordination Inc.' performers will set "their sights on two objects when they visit 11,1organtoWn Saturday—their 15th consecutive intercollegiate victory , and valuable experience which will be a big factor in fore casting how they will fare in the EIGA individnar competition meet in Philadelphia March 13. Have Strength and Depth The Lions, with strength and depth in nearly eyery department, should have little trouble in turn ing back the Mountaineers. Al though they have no individual performers sporting unblemished records„ most of the Nittanies have been playing `see-saw' bat tles with each Other over most of the season. That is, in certain events, it was hard to predict be fore a meet which'Lion performer would turn in the best routine in an event. This was largely due to the fact that the Lions possess such great depth. W. Va. 2-2 Record Two Meets Still Await Ringmen Although Only two dual meets are scheduled for the Nittany boxing team during the next four weeks, Coach Eddie Sulkowski and his ringmen have their work cut out for them. The Nittanies will • meet two rugged contenders and face some long trips in their final dual meets against Army and Louisiana State as they try to salvage a 3-3-1 record for the 1954 season. During the past five dual meets, Penn State has been on the road in three instances—at Michigan State, Maryland, and Virginia. The Lions only win was on the most recent trip to the University of Virginia. While meeting Mich igan State and Syracuse at home, Penn State obtained a draw with the Orange, but dropped the sea son opener to the Spartans. • The Lions will make their fourth appearance in six matches and their third consecutive con test away from home this Satur day against Army. Last year Coach Herb Kroeten and his Ca dets dumped the Lions, 5-3, in the final meet of the season for both teams. On the final leg of the four meet windup for the current sea son, the Nittanies will make their longest trip of the campaign 'to meet Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., March 27. However, one week after the Lions sixth ring contest at Army, they will travel to Charlottesville, Va., site of the 1954 Eastern Box ing Association tourney. There the Penn Staters will meet some of the most outstanding boxers the East has to offer. Adam Kois, Nittany Captain, will be defending champion at the 178-pound class. Syracuse will be defending Eastern team cham pion in the 31st Annual tourney at Virginia's Memorial •gym nasium. Court Frees Referee NEW YORK, March 3 (R)—The Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court today reverse 4 unanimously, on technical grounds, the conviction of Sol Levy, 41, former professional bas ketball referee, on charges of ac cepting bribes to rig basketball games. Bill Bonsall's Mountaineers ev ened their record at 2-2 with a 50%45 1 / 2 win over Pitt last Sat urday in the second meeting of the two teams this season. They also took the upper hand when the two clashed earlier. However, the two wins have little to offer the Mountaineers in the way of prestige as the Panthers are in their first, year of intercollegiate gymnastics. The, two West Virginia setbacks were suffered at the hands of Ohio State and North Carolina. Bonsall and Wettstone will have more to . speak about than gym nastics when the two meet in Mor gantown. Bonsall graduated from Penn State in. 1948 and performed under the Lion coach on the gym team. He was also a member of the 1948 U.S. Olympic Squad which Wettstone tutored. THE COXSWAIN WHO. WANTED TO BE A NUDIST The coxswain of a leading university crew didn't like to be tossed in the water after a victory. He didn't like it so, much the crew started tossing him in the water any old time they saw him near it. He complained bitterly that it was ruining all his sportshirts. He liked nice sporfshirts, but all he owned had either shrunk or streaked or spotted. He was not a happy coxswain. With no more sportshirts, he contemplated joining a nudist colony. He told the whole wretched tale to the Dean of Men The Dean said, "You like really good sportshirts, eh? Something like a fine gabardine?" "Ult huh," the coxswain beamed "Try this—take $5.95 down to the nearest men's store and get a Van Heusen Van Gab., It's the best-looking gabardine sportshirt you've ever owned and it's completely washable—any kind of water. What's more, it's got real pick-stitching on the collar, pockets and cuffs ...it's . got a Sportown collar that looks as smart with a tie as without. Van Heusen really knows how to make 'em." Said coxswain is now sportshirt king of the campus. Owns Van Gabs.in all smart non-fade colors. Called best-natured coxswain on east coast. Doesn't wait to be k dunked by crew. Jumps in, Van Gab and all. Grapplers Smother Penn, 28-0 (Continued from page six) pounder, faced one of Penn's bet ter wrestlers and came out with a 2-1 victory. There wasn't any action in the initial period. With Frey at the advantage position for two minutes in the next per iod, Steve Friedberg was given a penalty escape when the referee charged Frey with pushing his foe off the mat. Frey copped the victory in the third period when he reversed Friedberg. Shawley's pin followed and Penn State led at this point. 17-0. S o p h o m o.r e Joe Humphreys edged Ed Noe, Penn's 167-pound matman, 3-2. It was one of the two victories scored by time ad vantage. Noe led, 1-0, when he escaped in the second period. But with the Penn 167-pounder wrest ling from the advantage position, Humphreys succeeded to reverse him. Noe tied matters, 2-2, with another escape. Joe Krufka's two-minutes rid ing time gave him a 4-3 deciSion over Russ Down. There was little action in the first period of the 177-pound class; but Krufka hit the scoring column in the second with a reversal. Then in the final period, Coach Charlie Ridenour's grappler escaped and immediately took Krufka down. But the time advantage reversed the verdict and Penn State won, 28-0, to ig nite the fuse of another possible long winning streak. The Results: 123-lbs.—Bill Cramp, PS,
