PAGE TEN 0 1 " 1 ‘ i. Ll': r:4l ITS GOING TO BE A TOUGH GYM MEET 1. Coach Gene Wett.stene has another blue-chip match on tap forit - 4 his. Penn State gymnasts. For the fourth consecutive year, the win-Is"`i :lex of the Army-Penn State meet will be proclaimed the Eastern((, intercollegiate Gymnastic Champion. The proclamation date is Sat-i urday—the place, West Point. With the exception of 1,56 , Penn State has won the victory' ,each time—and the title, of course. Last year, Wettstone's Nittanicsi recaptured the honor with a thrilling 49 1 ,i-46 1 / 2 victory before a capacity crowd at Recreation Hall. But, that was last year. We want , to know about our chances this year. With This in mind, we asked Wettstone what he thought was In store for Saturday. Wettstone, who is as cooperative a coach ■s they come, is also a straight-forward chap. Without a pause, he told us quite frankly that the goings will be tough for his team—that Army must be rated the favorite be cause of its past record this season. However, he was far from having a defeatist attitude. He quickly added that his boys could do the trick if—and it's a, big if—some of his thus-far disappointments hit their stride against the Cadets. The biggest of these disappointments has to be Wettstone's potentially great sophomore, Jay Werner. Werner looks to be an other in the line of Penn State all-round greats such as Karl Schwenzfier and Armando Vega. As yet, he has not reached that : height in competition. By no means are we trying to belittle or call down Werner —it's not our policy. Gymnastics is a sport where the slightest break in a routine can mean the difference between a first place and a third place—or even a fifth place. We can think of no other .sport where one mistake can be so costly to an individual. The point we are trying to make is: It looks as though Werner is the big "if" in the meet outcome. If he hits—and his potential shows he can—the Lions can win the meet. If he doesn't ... well.; the outlook doesn't look too bright. The pressure is on this sophomore. Wettstone definitely thinksi be has the ability to meet it—and to beat it. We'll be among the! many rooters who will be pulling for him to do so—not because RI will probably add another title to Penn State's list, but because' be is too good to be hampered by breaks. A Werner performing at his peak potential will be a tremen dous scoring boost for Penn State. But, he's not the only one under pressure. In the final tabulation, ifs the team score that deter mines the outcome. In other words, no Lion can afford to slip tomorrow. The gymnasts, even with Werner at his best, have tough sled ding. The pressure is great—but so is this team's potential. Soon we'll know which was greater.
