Delaney, Mullen Also Take Ist In Tumbling, Rope Climbing By MATT MATHEWS It was Jay Werner Day in Penn State Saturday as the Lion sophomore walked away with the admiration of the fans, the coaches, the judges, the press and his fellow com petitors. Competing in his first Eastern 529 total. But he forgot about the championship tourney, the Lion ace took the long walk to the winner’s podium five times. There were seven events, but he didn’t compete on the side horse and rope climb. His list of walks included the trip for the number one spot in the toughest event in gymnastics the all around. His other achievements included second in ' tumbling, fourth on the high bar, third on the parallel bars, and second on the flying rings. He started off the day in true i championship style. After being | behind his sophomore teammate j Lee Cunningham through live : of the six all-around events, he ! went into the final all-around | event—the free exercise—with a 13-point handicap. [ Cunningham completed his free j“X” routine with a 251. What -Werner needed to win the all around was a 265. As he started to address the judges, Werner looked at manager Harry Oxman and said, “Give me some time.” The Philly flash didn’t need too much time, for one minute and 25 : seconds later he stepped off the ; mats. Cunningham -reached over, I shook his hand and held open the warm-up jacket of the East’s new .all-around champion. The score was evident, but the judges made it a lot closer than expected by giving the Lion sophomore a 265. for a grand to tal of 151 S points. Cunningham had 1514. But where the all-around left off, began another phase in the "Jay Werner Story" if we may use the tagline of Larry Hag gerty, gymnastics writer for the Pitt News. j Tumbling was next, and Wer ner, who never competed on the; mats and who barely worked on an exercise during practices all year, was the best performer of the day. The latter comment came from judge Louie Bordo. Bordo’s contemporaries agreed in toto with him. for they gave the Lion the highest tumbling score of either day, a 264, but fortunate ly for junior teammate Dave Du laney, it wasn't enough to over- EICL Fans * ★ Jim Mulvihill ... a new champion's finish come the lead Dulaney built in the preliminary session. Dulaney was very consistent with a 258 and 259 for the winning 517. Werner had a 511.

MARCH 11. 1958 vihill had a grand winning score of 540. Second was teammate Tom Darling with a 539, fol lowed by fhe unlucky Cunning ham at 538. With the rib all taped up, Wer ner finished a painful parallel bar routine for third place with 498 points. Cadet Gar O’Quinn took the title with a 545, followed by Middie Ken McNutt with a 514. Cunningham was fifth with a 474. Cunningham also missed his big chance to dethrone O’Quinn on the side horse, but Middie Fem Sheppard didn’t. Displaying the most confident and speedy travel ing movements on the horse, Sheppard scored a 265 and 268 for 533 points and a surprise win. O’Quinn, who followed Cunning ham’s weak routine, played it safe with a simple routine and a Intercollegiate Gymnastics League Navy and Sheppard followed up with a dangerous, but effective, winning routine. An anti-climatic "place" for Werner on the flying rings fol lowed lhe championship per formance of the 121-pound Pan ther Darling. The champ racked up an insurmountable lead and Werner had to be content with fhe runner-up spot for fhe sec ond straight week. Lion senior Eddie Sidwell bowed out in grand style with a third on the rings, behind two of the tough est "champions" in the East. Jack Donahue completed the winner's circle for lhe Lions with a fourth spot. Not much can be said about the rope climb. It was Phil Mullen all the way. The revenged champ pulled down his second Eastern title with a :03.6 docking. Tied for second were Lion sophomore Vince Neuhauser, Cadet Bob De gen, and Syracusemen Mike Ship ley and Jack Hall. All in all, it was a great day for the Lions. Ties, ties! What did you wear this past Saturday night? Same suit? Same sport jacket? Aren’t you a little tired of wearing the same outfits?
