Cronstedt, the Flying Finn. who has been the spark in leading the Nittanies to their un
defeated intercollegiate seasons the past two yearS, captured top honor - s in the free exercise,
Parallel bars, and horizontal bar events.
Cronstedt is the defending national titleholder in the latter two events. He failed to
place among the top three in the free exercises in last year's meet. •
But the most brilliant performance of the nationally-heralded gymnast was undoubt
edly the superb performance he turned in to remain the national all-around champ for the
second year running. He earned 1557 points to lead Florida State's Don Holder by 15 points.
Schwenzfeier and Tony Proco
pio also placed in the all-around,
a specialized and skill-combining
event, by tieing for sixth place
with a total of 1450 points. •
'Mighty Mighty'
Schwenzfeier, the 'in igh t y
might' of the title-seeking Lions,
captured tw o qualifying fourth
places and a fifth place to ac
count for the triple action he will
see in tonight's finals. He took
the number four spot on the fly
ing rings and parallel bars, and
fifth place in the highly co-ordi
nated free exercise events.
Procopio, rated as possessing
•more edurance than any other
Lion gymnast, is entered in two
of the final events. He registered
256 points to come in third in his
season-long specialty, the flying
rings, and took tenth place on th
horizontal bar with a respectable
248.

THE DAILY COLLEC;I4m STATE COLLEGE. 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.

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

Pennsylvania's outstanding ath
lete of 1953. The award, which

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. '
