in All-Arounds!
(This is the first of a series of articles reviewing the Eastern |
Intercollegiate Gymnastic: Championships to be held Friday and
Saturday in Recreation Hall. Today we review the Olympic all- j
around event.)
Coach Gene Wettstc ne will send sophomores Jay Werneri
and Lee Cunningham after the Lion’s seventh straight all-]
around title in the EIGL Individual Championships this!
weekend in Recreation Hall. The two sophomores are odds-onj
favorites to take the top.ind:
Former Lion Jean Cronstedt
started the Lion’s, domination of
the event in 1952. He won it three
years. Karl'- “Switch” Schwenz
feier brought home the title in
1955 and Armando Vega won it
the last two years.
The only athlete given an out
side chance to take the title
from Werner and Cunningham
is an unknown around the EIGL
circuit, Hans Briegel of the Uni-
Jay Werner
. . . defends Lion streak
versity of Massachusetts. The
New England school is not a
member of the League.
Wettstone caught a glimpse of
Briegel in action in the Olympic
Tryouts in Sarasota, Fla. He liked
what he'saw and rates Briegel a
definite threat to Werner, and
Cunningham in the all-arounds.
According to the Lion mentor,
Briegel is a solid 420 competitor
in every event.
The Olympic all-around com
petition consists of three standard
collegiate events —the side horse,
high bar and parallel bars—and
three foreign events—still rings,
long, horse vault and free exer
cises (calisthenics). This will
probably be the last time the stu
dents will get an opportunity to
view the latter three events dur
ing their college careers.
All of the all-around events ex
cept the free exercises will be
completed in Friday’s qualifying'
session. Only eight competitors
will be qualified for Saturday af
ternoon’s finals. The free exer
cises will be the first event on

12-fl halftime lead to win. Hank
Ponozzo scored the winning bas

In Independent League D the
Night Riders edged the Bruins in
overtime and the Sinkers elimin
ated the Hamilton Wildcats, in
what was formerly a three way
race, 50-30. The Night Riders and
Sinkers are now* deadlocked for
the lead with 6-1 slates. When -the
teams meet to play-off the tie. it
will be their first meeting of the
year, since the Sinkers forfeited

Saturday’s program and will con
clude the all-around competition.
The Gold-dust Twins are
among the East's best on the
high bar while Cunningham
specializes on the side horse
and Werner on the rings and p
bars. Cunningham also has the
style and grace to win the long
horse vault with Werner rated
highly in calisthenics. The third
Lion all-around entry Lou Sav
adove, may be the big surprise.
The little junior has an excel
lent calisthenics, routine along
with good exercises on the high
bar, parallel bar and still rings.
‘Jockey brand T-Shirts
helped me make varsity I"
“There were at least twenty of us unknown freshmen at basket
ball practice that day. Suddenly, the coach was pointing at me.
‘Hey you!’ he called. ‘You in the good looking T-shirt, get ia
there and show me what you can do!* That’s how Jockey
T-shirts opened my door to stardom.
“I’m sure that Jockey T-shirts are the big reason I*m such &
big. star today. The twin-stitch collar that lies flat and smooth,
the body of the shirt that fits just right—not too tight or loose
—these are the reasons I’m such a comfortable star.”

SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 2
Though thi3 column is intended solely as a vehicle for well
tempered drollery, the makers of Marlboro have agreed to let
me use this space from time to time for a short lesson in science.
They are the most decent and obliging of men, the makers of
Marlboro, as anyone can tell from sampling their product. Only
from bounteous hearts could come such a lot to like—such filter,
such flavor, such flip-top box. The filter works; the flavor pleases;
the box protects. Who can resist such a winning combmr.lioa?
Surely not I.
Today let us take up the science of medicine, which was in
vented in 10G6 by a Greek named Hippocrates. He soon gathered
around him a group of devoted disciples whom he called
“doctors.” The reason he called them "doctors” was that they
•peat all their time sitting around the dock and shooting the
breeze. In truth, there wa3 little else for them to do because
disease was not invented until 1477.
After that, doctors became very busy, but it must be admitted
that their knowledge of medicine was lamentably meagre. They
knew only one treatment—a change of climate. For example,
a French doctor would send all his patients to Switzerland.
A Swiss doctor, on the other hand, would send all his patients
to France. By 1789 the entire population of France was living
in Switzerland, and vice versa. This later became known as the
Black Tom Explosion.
Not until 1924 did medicine, as we know into being.
In that year in the little- Bavarian village of Pago-Pago so
elderly physician named Winko Sigafoos discovered the hot
water bottle. He was, of course, burned as a witch, but lus son
Lydia, disguised a 3 a linotype, made his way to America where
he invented the Mayo Brothers.
Medicine, as it is taught at your very own college, can be
divided roughly into two classifications. There is internal medi
cine, which is the treatment of interns, and external medicine,
which is the treatment of extems.
Diseases also fall into two broad categories—chronic and
acute. Chronic disease is, of course, inflammation of the chron,
which can be mighty painful, believe you me! Last summer my
cousin Haskell was stricken with a chron attack while he was
out picking up tinfoil, and it was months before the wretched
boy could straighten up. In fact, even after he was cured,
Haskell continued to walk around bent over double. This went
on for several years before Dr. Caligari, the lovable old country
practitioner who treats Haskell, discovered that Haskell had
his trousers buttoned to his vest.
Two years ago Haskell had Addison’s disease. (Addison, curi
ously enough, had Haskell’s.) Poor Haskell catches everything
that cornea along. Lovable old Dr. Caligari once said to him,
“Son, I guess you are what they call a natural born catcher.”
“The joke is on you, Doc,” replied Haskell. “I am a third
basemen.” He thereupon fell into such a fit of gigglingthat the
doctor had to put him under sedation, where he is to this day.
But I digress. Ws were discussing medicine. I have now told
you all I can; the rest is up to you. Go over to your med school
sad poke around. Bring popcorn and watch an operation. X-ray
each ether. Contribute to the bone bank ... And remember,
medicine can be fun! • » »---
