PAGE SIX Lions Edge Leu Stars in • By MATT PODBESEK Gymnast Gil Leu bowed out at Recreation Hall Saturday night in a great way, a champion in the clutch. The graduating sophomore (he completed two years of collegiate level education in bis native Switzerland) finally overcame his "big-crowd nervousness" in his last Rec Hall appearance when he led the Lions to a 49 1 / 2 -46 1 / 2 win over defending Eastern champion Army. The little muscleman did it the hard way. He defeated Army's de fending Eastern Horizontal Bar Champ, Bill Thomson, by com pleting a near flawless routine for his highest score of the year, 275-265. Triumph Important Leu's high bar triumph was all the more important at the time since Penn State held a 20-12 lead going into the event with expec tations of winning and increasing their lead. But Armando Vega, who had probably his worst night in Rec Hall, missed the bar twice and scored a 45. Also Captain Dion Weissend, who had a 281 in his last meet, had a miss and a bad flyaway to drop his total to 202. Cadets Pete Calyer (231), John Sewall (237), and Thomson (265) had Vega and Weissend topped before anchor-man Leu came through with his victorious clutch performance. Wins Second Place Leu's second clutch masterpiece came on the parallel bars. Vega won his specialty with a 271, but Leu's second place 257 gave the Lions a 43 1 i-36 1 lead.
