Chick Werner probably shuddered violently when he heard the score of the Pitt-West Virginia: track meet last Saturday. The Pan thers dismembered the Mountaineers, 111•-19. The Lion track coach sends his own squad against Pitt Saturday at Beaver Field in what could be a closer battle than the Penn State-Navy tussle (68-63). The Panthers have lost to Navy this . ,season 'and also succumbed to powerful Miami of Ohio. But Saturday's fantastic score against West Virginia gives every indication that the Lions will have a real fight on their hands. Man-for-man the individual events appear, to shape up on paper in a pattern very similar to that set last week against Navy when the outcome of the meet hinged on the final event the mile relay. Monahan Big Threat Cronstedt 2d in NAAU Comnetition Jan Cronstedt, Penn State's National Collegiate All-Around Champion, finished second in a bid for the National Amateur Union All-Around Championship in San Fernando. Calif. Saturday. However Cronstedt did capture the NAAU Horizontal Bar and Parallel Bar titles on Friday, scor ing 573 points on the horizontals and 576 points on the parallel bars. Cronstedt and Nittany gymnasts Tony Procopio and Carl Schwenz feier entered the two-day meet as unattached entries. Procopio fin ished eighth in the All-Around competition. Schwenzfeier wa s unable to enter competition be cau s e of injuries he received Friday. Cronstedt finished behind Jim Simms of the Los Angeles Turn-. ers. Simms totaled 3157 points, 34 ahead of Cronstedt's 3073. -How ever, the Lion almost had the championship in his pocket until the sidehorse competition. The Lion gymnast broke in the middle of the optional routine on the horse and was awarded only 150 points. He had already scored 243 points on the required routine. Under NAAU rules, the con testant is judged by six judges. He can score a maximum of 300 points on each routine optional, and required. The All-Around competition included the long horse, parallel bars, horizontal bars, flying rings, sidehorse, and free exercise.

MAKE' PLANS FOR SPRING WEEK ---xt ' Monday, May 10 ei da ::;..... mina:: Madhatter's Parade Spring Week Parade / Coronation 4r '' s • SPRING.. i io ) ( WEEK Tuesday, May 11 Madhatter's Final :// Heafdan Contest i ,- Wed. & Thrs., May 12-13 CARNIVAL . : THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1954 The Panthers' biggest threat will probably be hurdler Wally Mona han, a rubber legged speedster who has broken all the Pitt hurd ling records. Along with Mona han Pitt Coach Carl Olson will bring sophomore Arnie Sowell who turned in a 1:51.6 in the half mile Saturday. Miler Dan Sommers who: was clocked at 4:17.3 looks like a sho in there unless Doug Moorhead can better his 4:21.8 time recorded in the Navy meet. However - a wealth of Penn State depth. in this event should even . matters somewhat. Lions Strong on Weights In the weights the Lions appear to carry a decided edge., Record breaking Rosey Grier (shot 'put) and Charlie Blockson (discus) as a team appear almost invincible —at least as far as Pitt is con cerned.. The Panthers don't own an outstanding weight man. In the 440, 220, and• 100 Wer ner's entry again will probably have the upper hand. 011ie Sax's record 48.9 in the • quarter mile Saturday and Pollard's record :9.7 in the century provide solid in surance that those ,events will probably go to the Lions. Pollard also turned in a :21.1 in the 200. On the Pitt side, Panther Chet Rice's best time against the Moun ties was a :9.9.in the 100 and a :22.5 in the 220. Jim Fritz was clocked at 50.1 in the 440. Lorch In Vault Dan Lorch hit 13 feet in the pole vault Saturday but has done bet ter. He could grab a first in that event. But the Lions are notice ably weak in the broad and high jump and may be hurt there. The mile relay team, final rec ord setter Saturday, is a pretty solid bet to make it two in a rote. Werner's quartet of Sax, Pollard, Brunjes, and Dave Leathern Was a full -13 seconds better than the Pitt entry's 3:30.5 clocking Satur day. The Nittanies breezed in with a 3:17 time.
