WETTSTONE ANALYZ
"If we do what the
Gene Wettstone, Lion gy
Wettstone speaks on-"hi
be accurate—as accurate)
Wettstone's Lion gyl proteges will compete in the Nationals,
11 1 3
this afternoon, tonight nd tomorrow - afternoon at Annapolis, Md.
When the festivities are over, Wettstone hopes the Lions will have
a National Championshi to bring back with them. One thing's for
certain—he knows they have a good cliance. As he said earlier in
the week: "We're not oing down there to take second."
"The preliminarie will tell the story," he said in a quiet,
confident tone. "If we ,can get the guys to qualify in the prelim
inaries, we'can do well. It's the same as the wrestling tournament."
As we all know, the secret to the Lions' surprising, but well
earned eastern wrestling victory was their success in qualifying
six men for the semifinal round. Wettstone was among the many fans
watching the upset take form—we wonder what he was thinking as
Lion after Lion continued to qualify.
Should the gymnasts have equal success—equal in that the
wrestlers lost only two men before the semifinals—they would also
be close to an upset victory. So close, in fact, that they'll probably
see the championship cup in their dreams—taking it for granted that
they dream.
Looking at the Nationals from the team angle, Wettstone said:
"The team never performed at its peak during the year. I feel that
we may have been building up for this." Again reiterating on his
old theme, he said, "Each man needs to qualify in the top 10 in the
preliminary round."
Wettstone said that Illinois rates the favorite role because you
have to go with the defending champions—especially if the . cham
pions have an Olympic competitor and the defending National all
around champ on its roster.
Keeping his optimism at a minimum, he rated the Lions as the
best challenger with Florida State a strong dark horse. Of the
Florida State team, he said that it is a, perennial top dog in the
tourney but never seems to hit its top performance. Should it hit
this time, it can go all the way.
Turning to the individual aspect of the picture, Wettstone feels
that much of the Lion title hopes rest on the shoulders of Olympian
Armando Vega— the most logical choice since he's the best in the
East, and maybe the best in the nation. Time will tell.
Vega's performance in the all-around competition will prob
ably draw the most interest among the Lion fans from the indi
vidual angle. The Lion wizard has his work cut out for him when
he 'goes against Illinois' Abbie Grosafeld, a fellow Olympian, and
Don Tonry. the defending all-around champ. It'll be close, but
Wellston° feels that he can take all the marbles if he hits.
Vega's entered in the six all-around events, -along with Gil Leu
and Dion Weissend, plus the swinging rings and, hold your hats, the
rope climb. (Who said there's no strategy in coaching gymnastics?)
Wettstone has him entered -in the climb; but will use him only if
he can beat the worst time among the top 10. Every point counts.
Of course, Vega can't win the title alone. He'll need help from
his teammates, particularly Leu and . Weissend in the all-around.
Wettstone admits that neither of the latter two are serious contend
ers for the individual title, but feels that they both can place in the
first 10 if they hit. If they do, it'll be a big boost in the Lion'score.
Summing it up, he said: "I think guys like Leu, Jack Beister
feldt (side horse entry) and Bob Foht ,(parallel bar entry) still have
surprises for us. They all have the potential, it's just a queition of
whether they're going to hit. I hope it's this time." So do we!
