Gym Squad National Title Lion Eyes With the Eastern gymnastic finals out of ihe wa>, Coach Gene Wetlstone now turns his eyes to the “fight” for Nation;.! Gymnastic honors next Friday and Saturday at the University of North Carolina. Wetlstone still is in doubt as to how his squad will fare at Chapel Hill, but if the Easterns are an indication of the future. h«i have something to smile, The big power al West Point last weekend was of course, the West Coast sophomore standout Armando Vega. Vega was the class of the all-round competition and the number one man on the parallel bars. He has been rated 3S the Lions' number one threat during the past season and is expected to play a prominent role in Wett stonc’s title hopes, j Junior Dion Weissend's per formance at the Point was also [warmly received by the Nittany [mentor. Weissend, who finished second both m the all-round test jand on the high bars, will prob ably be rated as the top Lion [entry on the high bars—his best event. Rope climber Phil Mullen has been improving steadily. After hitting his season low against the Cadets in a dual meet, the soph omore climber rebounded rapidly against Navy and Pitt and cli maxed his uphill climb with a first place in the Easterns. He has been hitting the 3.6 mark continually since the Army meet and should he continue with his progress, Wettstone be lieves that he will be a strong threat in the Nationals. Shaving at its best!
