PENNSYLVANIA John Baffa took the form of a surprise package by astonishing Wettstone by placing in tw o events—the swinging rings and the rope climb. He recorded re spective fifth and eighth places. Bob Lawrence, who Wettstone claims as having the most diffi cult routine on the side horse, walked away with top honors in that event. His amazing routine .netted him 280 points-25 points ahead of another Lion performer —second place co-captain Frank Wick. Fabulous Don Perry of UCLA continued on his spectacular rope climbing ways by duplicating his record-setting performance of last year. He jaunted up the 20-foot climb in 2.9 seconds—a world's record. Skeets Haag, the number one Nittany performer in the verticle climb, qualified for tomorrow's action by going up in four seconds flat. The Staters will have their big gest representation on the paral lels. They managed to qualify four men in that event. Right be hind title-defending Cronstedt was co-captain Al Wick who net ted a good 274 points. Dick Spiese came in number ten for the Lions on the twin bars with 235 counters. , .Paxton, who was entered in the tumbling action, was up against what Wettstone claimed "the hot test field in the history of the tourney." Wettstone stated had it not been for a poor long horse jump by Schwenzfeier in the all-around competition he would have prob ably captured third place honors in that event. gaffe Surprise Haag Qualifies Lion Track Success Up to Vets, Sophs Returning stars from last season's team and promising candi dates from the 1953 freshman squad are scheduled to pace the track and field team during the coming campaign. Coach Chick. Werner will, be counting heavily on such top per formers from last year's team as Rosey Grier, Red. Hollen, Dan Lorch, Ron Johnson, Roy Brun jes, Skip Slocum, and 011ie Sax. Among the standouts from last seasons frosh team are Art Pol lard, Doug Moorhead, Charlie Blockson, and. Bruce Austin. "Blockbuster" Blockson and Grier are the two top weight men and they should provide some in teresting competition, not only for the opponents. but also among themselves. Last year Grier es tablished a Nittany record by put ting the shot 51' 1 1 / 2 ". In the only indoor meet in which the Lion weightmen saw action this past season the mark was erased by a 51'3 1 / 2 " heave by Blockson. Grier will throw the javelin and I discus besides the shot. Blockson will compete in the discus and shot-put event. Another sophomore who bears watching is Pollard—the "Coates vile Comet." During his fresh man year he caused a mild sensa tion by running the 100- yard dash in 0:09.5. In the recent indoor campaign he ran the 60-yard dash and was lead-off man on the Nit tany mile relay quartet. In the 440-yard event Werner has plenty of talent from last year. Slocum, who ran the sprints most ly last year, is listed to run in this field. Sax will be out to 'make up for last season when he was handicapped by an injured foot. Another. 440 runner who was side lined by a foot injury is Bill •Kil irner. He and Dave Leathem round out the field in this event. Red Hollen, Lamont Smith, and Doug Moorhead, who formed the "Triple Trouble Trio" of the Nit tany cross-country team this past fall, are the top distance men. They will get aid from Dan „Sut ter and Jim Pastorius. Pole vaulters are scarce this season, but Werner has one of the best in the East in Lorch. The Lit tle Lion captain consistently clears the bar at 13'. Ben Shields is the No. 2 vaulter. 011ie Sax Track Star Rados Honored Penn State's star quarterback of the past football season, Tony Rados, yesterday was given a trophy designating him central Pennsylvania's outstanding ath lete of 1953. The award, which came about as a result of Rados' outstanding play in guiding the Nittany Lions to their six won three lost record, was made at a dinner last, night by the Altoona Jewish center. Lemyre Repeats Only three Penn State wres tlers ever won three straight• Eas tern titles. Jack Light, now a med ico, and Charlie Ridenour, . Uni versity of Pennsylvania coach, turned the trick in the '3os and '4os. Dick Lemyre copped his third crown this year.
