Weissend Follows With 3 gds;
Vega Strains Injured Ankle
WEST POINT. N.Y.—Two Penn State gymnasts, sophomore
Armando Vega end junior Dion Weissend, put on a two-man stand
here last night that completely dominated first-round action for
individual all-round Eastern honors.
Vega took three firsts—the longhorse vaulting, calisthenics,
and still rings. Weissend was the second half of the Blue and White
double-barreled punch as he won second in each event.
This afternoon Vega and We
five other schools—Pitt, - Navy,
Army, Syracuse, and Temple—
will vie for the all-round Eastern
individual crown. No team title
is at stake. Army, on the basis of
its undefeated season, will be
awarded the EIGA team trophy
today
At the end of last night's ac
tion Vega was first with 814;
Weissend next with 734; Temple's I
Neeley third, 695; and Pitt's John
Hammond fourth, 650.
Vega's 261 score in calisthen
ics put him far in front of a
serious threat as he and Weis
send worked virtually alone
with Temple's Chuck Neeley
and Syracuse's Lowell Meier
offering only token pressure.
Vega was first with 261 fol- 1
lowed by Weissend 238; Neeley,,'
219, and Meier who was fourth'
with 218. Vega's performance was
expected, according to Lion Coach
Gene Wettstone, but Weissend's
second-place finish was more
than Wettstone had hoped for.
In the longhorse vaulting Vega
was first again registering a 281
on his second try; Weissend then
turned in a 268 score on his sec
ond try. Temple's Neeley tallied
only 85 on his first leap, but on
the second time around he vault
ed to third place with 249 ahead
of Paul- Barkel, Syracuse, who
netted a fourth-place 238 score.
Although Vega did a triple take
when he ran off with the strength
demanding still rings with a 272
score, his victory was nearly dis-

ssend, along with gymnasts from
asterous. As he dismounted, he
strained the same ankle he se
verely turned against Navy two
weeks ago. Wettstone said, hoW
ever, after the meet, that he
didn't think it would hurt Vega's
work today.
Weissend was again second
with 22$ despite the fact that
he had trouble with his hand
stand routine. He was followed
by Neeley again, with 227.-Pitt's
John Hammond was fourth with
287.
One-hall of this afternoon's
three-hour session will be devoted
to three events—horizontal bar,
flying rings, and parallel bar—
all of which are regular EIGA
events.
Eight other Lion gymnasts will
be aiming at individual crowns
in these three events plus rope
climb, sidehorse, and tumbling.
In addition to his bid for all
round honors Vega has an inside
edge for individual laurels on the
p-bars, while Wettstone's Weis
send is a threat on the h-bar. Tem
ple, on the basis of Neeley's work,
has put on a surprising threat,
but Syracuse has slipped. Jim
Mulvehill, Pitt sophomore, was
scratched from the all-rounds by
his coach ,who felt he was'nt
ready for competition.
