2 Lion Gymnasts
To Enter NAAU's
Nittany gymnastics coach Gene Wettstone and his 1955
team captain, diminutive Karl Schwenzfeier, will pick up this
weekend where they left off at Los Angeles late last March
when they travel to Rochester, N.Y., for the annual NAAU
gymnastics tourney.
Schwenzfeier, along with -freshman standout, Armando
Vega, will compete unattached against several of the nation's
top gymnastics performers in seeking NAAU honors.

and most versatile gymnasts.
"Good as Cronstedt"
Wettstone has rated Schwenz

fabulous Jan Cronstedt, the fly

three-yeat stay in the Nittany
Vale,
"His (Schweizfeier's) desire fbr

Lions Visit
Georgetown
Links Today
The Penn State golf team faces
the Georgetown University links
men today in what promises to
be one of the seasons stiffest tests
for the Lions.
The Lions, in quest of their sec
ond straight win, will meet the
always-dangerous Hoyas at the
Congressional Country Club in
Washington, D.C. at 1:30 p.m. to
day.
Sophomore George Branish will
be the teams seventh man in to
day's test. In the opener the Nit
tanies used only a six-man squad,
but must add an extra man for
today's match. Branish earned the
right to his position by winning
out over Jim Decker and George
Kreidler in a special runoff yes
terday.
Georgetown, to date, owns a
1-0 slate. Their only victory was
scored at the expense of the Naval
Academy, 4-3. The Hoyat are al
ways tough for the Lions, but to
day's encounter will be doubly
difficult since the match is being
contested on their home grounds.
If the Lions are able to cop to
day's decision, they will have a
good start toward an unbeaten
campaign. Of course they will still
have several dangerous opponents
remaining as obstacles in their
path for a spotless mark. Navy,
Penn, Cornell, and Colgate all
boast powerful teams, capable of
beating anybody on a 'hot" day;
but a win ovet' the Hoyas could
provide the spark to ignite the
Lion explosion.
It is still too early to make any
rash predictions, but there are
solid grounds for optimism. The
Lions' win in the opener was ac
complished with solid attack in
poor weather. If they can approx
imate their first match brilliance
today, the Lions should return
home carting the Hoyas scalp.
