ners in each event, with five
points for first, three for second,

hopes of picking up points in the

Bob Coldren and Meade Bur

or not Coldren is fully recovered
from a pulled muscle. If he is,
he will be hard to bsat in the

Santee, Dwyer,
Nielsen to Run
In Baxter Mile
NEW YORK, Feb. 11 (/1 3 )—
Without the benefit of boxing
gloves or hail nelsons, Wes San
tee and Fred Dwyer will try to
show up Gunnar Nielsen, th e
world indoor mile champion, to
morrow night in the. Baxter Mile
in the New York Athletic club
games the oldest indoor track
meet in the country.
Nielsen had owned the record
of 4:03.6 only one week, having
whipped Santee and Dwyer last
Saturday in the Millrose meet.
Before that, Santee was the top
man on the basis of his 4:03.8 the
previous week.
Now they'll all be trying to get
down around 4:02. Nielsen, who
sailed to his standard while San
tee and Dwyer were wrestling 10
yards from the finish, thinks he
has . the Kansas Cowboy's number,
He might if he can stick close to
any pace. Nielsen can outkick
Santee seven days a week, so his
key to success is to hang right
behind Wes until the last lap, then
open up.
One thing is certain. Santee and
Dwyer will tend strictly to busi
ness this time. Last week Dwyer
tried to pass Santee on the inside
about 100 yards from home, and
they wound up wrestling each
other. Dwyer, to hi s disgust,
eventually was disqualified.

Navy May Hold Key
To Lion Gym Hopes
The Nittany gymnasts take to the road for the first time
this season looking for win number two against the Mid
shipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy tonight.
But much more than an extra stroke in the win column
will be at stake at Annapolis.
A Middie defeat may elim
ern gym championship—whicl
ning—and if the Nittanies fail
chance for full-team representa
tion in the Nationals would be
greatly hampered.
Lion coach Gene Wettstone an
nounced, two line-up changes for
tonight's duel which will find
Tony Cline on the side horse for
the first time, and Dion Weissend
on the mats.
All-Around Gymnast
Wettstone will again• be relying
on all-around Karl Schwenzfeier
to bear the Penn State load
against the Sailors.
The Lion :aptain will be the
top Nittany entry in two events—
parallel bars and flying rings—
and second man on the side horse
(under EIGA rules an individual
can enter a maximum of three
events).
Skets Haag will be leading the
list of Lion entries in the rope
climb, with Cline and Bill Paxton
the top men on the horizontal bar
and tumbling.
Skip Heim, Wettstone's best on
tha side horse, will be shooting
for his second varsity win and
Weissend, in addition to tumb
ling, will appear as second man
oz the H-bar and third on the
parallels.
Third in Tumblinv
Dud Potter, seeing his first year
of varsity action, will be third on
the mats. •
Bill Marshall is the Nittany
third-place entry on the rings and
rope. Al Poydock is third on the
H-bar, Leroy Fritch is number
two man on the rope, and Don
Rehm, second on the parallel bars,
will round out the Lion squad.
In Penn State's two previous
meets ? Schwenzfeier has gained
five first places—two each on the
H-bar and rings, and one on the
parallels against the Illini.
Haag owns two wins on the
rope, while Paxton has a first and
a third on the mats.
Following tonight's meet, the
Lions will return home for a Sat
urday night duel with West Point
at Rec
Matmen Face-

order to shift one of his better
men into a weight that indicates
a better chance for a win.
Marinelli has wrestled at 147
twice and once at 157 and 167
pounds. While Marinelli has been
pinned three times and won only
once, Gonzales, wrestling at 157
and 177, has lost twice.
Daniel's top men in the heavier
weights are Ed Rooney, Eastern
champ and second in the Nation
als last year, and Bob Smith.
Smith has a 4-0 record with
two wins at 177 pounds and a win
in the 167 and 157 pound weights.
Rooney has won once at 177, has
a 1-1 record•at 167, and won his
third match at 157.

Bob Homan (130), Larry Forni

Humphreys and Len McNeal

Frosh Gymnasts
In Navy Prelim

years, , Penn State will field a
freshman gymnastics team.
Gene Wettstone's yearlings will
go against the Navy Plebes this
afternoon in a preliminary con
test before the Lion-Navy 'varsity
clash.
Wettstone regards this year's
crop of frosh as one of the best
first-year squads he's tutored so
far.
The freshman aggregation in

ed by Armando Vega. Behind him
are Bill Stevens, John Donahue,
John Coller, Bob Foht, Jack Beis
terfeldt, Bill Meckling, Nelson
Greenig, Phi Mullen and Ed Sid
well.
Vega, whose home is in Cali
fornia but who decided to come
to Penn State because of its fine
gymnastic teams under Wettstone,
is top man on the horizontal bar,
parallel bars and flying rings.
Last year at a national meet in
California where some of the na
tion's foremost gym stars were in
action, (including the Lions' Jean
Cronstedt), Vega placed second on
the twin bars.
Donahue will appear in four
events—tumbling, side horse, par
allel bars, and rings.
Sidwell is the third man on the
rings, with Foht filling on the
parallels. Stevens is behind Dona
hue on the mats, and Beisterfeldt
is second on the horse.
Coller will be on the H-bar,

Walker Cup System
Needs Change
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 11 (W)—
Frank Stranahan, former amateur
from Toledo, Ohio, and now a pro
touring the winter circuit, believes
the United States Walker Cup
team should be chosen similar to
the way the professionals select
their Ryder Cup representatives.
The latest annual report of the
'executive committee of the U.S.
Golf Assn. says, in part, "we view
with some concern the trend of
professionalism which has taken
three of our last four amateur
champions, the last two• while
they held the title."
