WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1953 Foht Says Team Nearing Peak “The way our .guys hit Saturday we could walk all over Army if we met them! again," commented gymnastics Captain Bob Foht. "We don’t have much of a chance to win the East erns now, but I’m not counting out the nationals for one minute —not after our performance Saturday.” The main reason whylthe Lions * * looked so good in the <67%-28% win over Syracuse was the per formance of sophomore I Jay Wer ner. The PhiUy flash finely hit for scores of which he ik capable, although by no means hitting his peak. He had two firsts and a second.. „ j But one of the judges had a particularly critical comment on the reason for his second place (on the parallel bars). “He’s got tremendous brute strerigth, and that’s what’s wrong. He works against the p-bars instead of working on them,” he said. "You can see what I mean when you listen to how hard he hits the bars on a catch. He just doesn't have that smoothe ness that should come with ex perience. Right now it's just his style—but don't mistake me. he's got great winning routines, but wait until he polishes them off," Another judge was of the opin ion that Werner could gain more points with more height in his flyaways which tend to be too low. He even included Werner’s graceful lay-out flyaway with a full-twister from the flying rings as lacking in height. Dismounts seemed to be the downfall of more them one Lion Saturday. Even Werner's sopho more counterpart Lee Cunning ham had a weak dismount from the high bar. It seemed as though Cunningham tried to flyaway too soon and lost the speed and dis tance that makes his Giant-strad dle dismount particularly effec tive. Lou Savadore also hit for a good routine on the high bar— but lacked the finesse on his fly away. Tumbler Graeme Cowan also lowered his score on his con cluding move. Although he completed a great routine his —best of the year (254) the sophomore. find didn't have complete control of his dou ble-twisting full sommersault and fell off balance to the side of the mat. But he managed to stay on his feet and still out score last year's Eastern tum bling champ, Lowell Maier. On the other hand, Cowan’s teammate Dave Dulaney did ev erything right—even the double twisting sommy, one of the most difficult moves in tumbling. Com bined with his terrific speed, Du laney earned his best score of his career and one of the Lion bests in tumbling during the past two years, a 270. - : The rope climbers have been Panthers, Irish Get NCAA Bids NE WYORK, Feb. 18 (/P) Notre Dame and Pittsburgh'were named the National Col legiate Athletic Assn.

However, there was one gentle man who wasn’t the least bit astonished with Syracuse’s actions —the Orange's youthful coach. Joe Scandura. Scandura is only in his second year at Syracuso having graduated from the New York School in 1955. the same year he won the 147-pound na tional championship. "I think we’re started on our way/’ Scandura said after the meet. "I’m really proud of my boys. We suffered from injuries and lack of spirit early in the year, but we’re all right now. The boys want to wrestle now. "We’re going to mix it ud with the best of the mat at the Eastern tournament.
