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

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-

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
