FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1953' ~~ Gym Meet to Feature Werner-Darling Clash The long-awaited dual on the flying rings between Pittsburgh's defending Eastern and National Charppion, Tom Darling, and the Lions’ undefeated sophomore, Jay Werner, highlights the final home! dual gym meet of the season. The team battle will take a back seat to the keen individual competition which will determine the Nittany Lions’ possibilities of sweeping all six first places in the Eastern Gymnastics Champion ships next weekend in Recreation HalL The fans will have to wait until the final event on the card to see the main attraction—the Werner-Darling dual. Darling is also the defending AAU champion on the rings. As a freshman last year, Werner was ineligible to compete in the Easterns and Na tionals, but finished second to Darling in the open AAU Tourney. The first test will be in tumbling. Although Dave Dulaney and Graeme Cowan have beaten the cream of the Hast, including lasi year's champ Lowell Meier of Syracuse, they may find iheir j loughesl competition in the Panther’s Don Neeld. j According to the Jungle Cat’s coach, Warren Neiger, a protege , of Lion mentor Gene Wettstone, “I think Don is improving in every meet and stands an excellent, chance to win the Easterns this year.” Neeld’sj scores verify Neiger’s prediction. The Panther had; A a 255 Temple and a 252 against Navy. j ..fl Darling also figures to make a good battle forj the top spot on the high bar. Lee Cunningham and! Werner have dominated the opposition on the bar! so far. Backing up Darling will be Co-Captain Jim Mulvihill, who has been a consistent second on the bar but managed a first place tie of 256 against Navy. I ~ W # ffV- MahrihlU Mulvihill's other specialty is the parallel bars where ha is again the Panther's second best. Don Shima took tirst for the Panthers in the Middie meet and Don Kasne'r defeated him in the Temple meet. • Although handicapped by the injury loss of Dave Hirst, their top scorer last year, the Panthers own a 6-2 record for the season. The two losses w r ere incurred at the hands of Army, 65-31, and: Navy, 53-43. In their last outing, the Jungle Cats walloped West Virginia Wednesday, 63-36. | 60-Yard Dash , Delaney Expected To Highlight IC4-A Track Meet ' The 60-yard dash and Ron Delany are expected to share the. spotlight in Saturday’s IC4-A track meet in New York’s Madison Square Gar den. Duke’s Dave Sime, Pitt’s Mel Barnwell and Villanova's Ed Collymore and George Sydnor will square-off for the dash title. The Duke speed merchant pulled a leg muscle in last week’s AAU meet and may not be in top form for the IC4-A tussle. Collymore also pulled a muscle in the meet and was in the Villanova infirm ary Tuesday. Sydnor is beginning to show ih» form lhat ho showed two ▼ears ago as a sophomore and is considered a definite threat for the title. Barnwell, a sopho more. is regarded as one of the Sop new sprinters to hit the spiked-shoe circuit. Delany will attempt to repeat last year’s double victory in the 1000 and two-mile runs and it is doubtful, that the lanky Irishman will have much trouble doing so. In the 1000, Delany’s top oppo sition will probably come from Manhattan’s Joe Soprano, St John’s Lionel Stevens and Penn State’s Bill Schwab. All four -are expected, to be tinder 2:14, with Delany doing 2:10 or better. The leading contender against the Wildcat in the two-mile event is Manhattan's Gene Mar- DINING AT ITS BEST Fine food, plus the complimentary touch of | atmosphere and tradition, the Tavern Restau - I rani offers a pleasant adventure in eating g enjoyment.

Last year Delany won the event in 9:08.6. Penn State’s Ed Moran and Maryland’s Burr Grimm are top rated in the collegiate mile. Oth er leading milers are Don Luisi of Fordham, Jose Iglesias of Colum bia, Pete Close of St. John’s and Dick Engelbrink of Penn State. Manhattan’s speedy middle-dis tance runner, Tom Murphy, is the top choice in the 600, but will en counter top opposition from Ar my’s Pete Byrne, St. John’s Ed McAuliffe and Penn State’s Dick Hambright and Jim Norton. In Ihe high jump, Villanova's Charlie Stead and Phil Reavis— co-winners last year at 6' 9Vi" last year—will meet stiff op position from - Cornell's John King, who cleared 6' 8" last week against Yale. Marquette’s Ed Hoyle and New Co-Captains Newly-elected as co-captains of Penn State's 1958 track and field team are pole vaulter Ogier Nor ris, of Downingtown, and middle distance runner Jim Norton, of Duryea. Both are seniors. Norris earlier this year set a new Penn State indoor record with a vault of 13 feet, 6 inches. Penn State in 1958 will play a ten game football schedule for the first time since 1952. Top Leadoff Men Like Keep Pitt Matmen Winning i One of the main reasons be-; hind Pitt’s winning habit in wrestling for the past six years,. —56 wins and 7 losses—has 1 been the possession of a top-i notch leadoff man—the type of guy who by winning con sistently can instill an agres sive spirit into the rest of his; ‘eammates. First in the Rex Perry regime was Perry’s son, Hugh, a thsfe time NCAA champion. Then came Bill Hullings, an Eastern titlist; and a perennial top contender in the NCAA tournament. I And now, Paul Powell, a sophomore from nearby Lock Haven, steps to the forefront. Powejl is the only unbeaten man among lhe Panther contin gent and needless to say. he's the man to beat in the 123- pound class of the upcoming EIWA tournament. He's been a Banducci Signed As Eagle Coach PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27 (/Pi— The Philadelphia Eagles today signed a second assistant coach to aid Buck Shaw, newly-named head coach, guide the National Football League club this season.
