PAGE SPX IGL 'Tests' Begin Today at Syracuse Armando Vega, Gil Leu and Captain Dion Weissend are the three top Lion entries in the Eastern Intercollegiate gymnastics competition which begins today at Syracuse University. The eastern "test" is expected to show just how strong Penn State's 1957 Eastern team champions will be for the big one two weeks from now—the Nationals at Navy. Vega will be defending his Eastern parallel bar title and his Eastern all-round crown. Weis send was last year's runner-up in the Eastern all-round when he finished second to Vega in rtitosi of the events. - This meet is the kids' own meet, requiring individual efforts." Coach Gene Wettstone said. "To me though, it is an experiment to determine the strength of our three all-round men." "It twill be the proving ground for the Na tionals and will probably determine which 10 men we are going to take to Navy." Leu is Coach Gene Wettstone's top question mark in the meet. The graduating Swiss will be competing in his first collegiate all-round tour nament Leu has consistenly outscored Weissend in dual meets this season. Should he and Weissend both score high at Syracuse, the Lions may be in for their fourth national collegiate champion shir Today's competition will begin with three Olympic events—the long horse, calisthenics and the still rings. They are the first 3 events in the all-round test.

Alpha Chi Sigma and Triangle both won and remained dead locked in their race for second place. Alpha Chi Sigma downed Alpha Sigma Phi, 4-0, but the los ers led in indiivdual scoring marks with Carl Lehman, 178, and Ray Euler, 481. Alpha Chi Sigma's 742 was high for the one-game team total. Triangle defeated Phi Epsilon Pi, 2170-2138, and 3-1 in games. Alpha Epsilon Pi edged Phi Mu Delta, 1957-1927, to take a 3-1 decision. Phi Mu's Al Krall was top scorer with a one game 172, and a three game 439. Alpha Epsi lon Pi's one game team score was 699.

Vega will not enter the eastern flying rings to conserve his strength and concentrate on de fending the all-round and parallel bar crowns. Phil Mullen will be the other defending Lion champion. The Eastern rope climb champ may not be "up to form yet," according to Wen. stone. Army's Paul Dean is his top competitor. Dean hit a 3.4 this year in defeating Mullen in the dual meet here two weeks ago. Mullen had his best time of the year the same night, a 3.5. Top darkhorse contenders for the Lions in the other four individual events include senior Jack Biesterfeldt on the side horse, Bob Foht, who could be a "sleeper" if he hits on the paral lel bars, and the tumbling duo of Adie Stevens and Dave Dulaney. Beiesterfeldt probably has the best chance of the group to come home with a first place medal. In the Army meet he dropped a one point, 261-262. decision to the top-rated side horse competitor, Cadet Gar O'Quinn. Foht has never really hit this year, according to Wettstone, but the senior is another part of the "depth" that the Lion mentor is seeking for the nationals. Stevens and Dulaney, who traded top scores in the six meets, are high 250 scorers and both beat one of the top-rated tumblers in the East last week,—Pitt's Dave Hirst. tle today 20 Fraternity, 3 Indie Entries Win in H-Ball Three independent and 20 frat ernity handball players garnered victories Tuesday and Wednesday night in Intramural action at Rec reation Hall.
