crown last March after taking the
3 57-pound championship the pre

the lower weight. However, A the
once-beaten Panther star drops
down to 157. then Friedman and
White arc- expected to oattle it

Santoro, a junior, is a heavy
favorite in almost every EIV.’A

State’s erstwhile co-captain Dave
Adams as the 147-pound criam
pion. He was beaten m iast yea: s

Ed Hamer reigned last year.
Hamer was placed on academic
probation al the beginning of
Ihe spring semester.
Vincent was runner-up to Ha-i
nier in ii-57, losing in the finals
7-0. His dual met record is similar
to Santoro's—he hasn't lost a reg
ular season match in the last two
years, winning 10 this season and
12 last winter.
He gave indications of his
championship caliber at the
Wiikes CulVge mat tourney over

THE EVER-CHANGING RULES • . .
\
i
The Eastern Gymnastics coaches came out of their annual rulej
huddle Friday afternoon with three important changes—althoueh
one of them will not affect the dual-meet competition at all
For next year, the most important rule change will be in the
rope climb—only one crack, hit or miss. Contrary' to first glance,
'this will help the weaker climbers and emphasize the anchorman.
But the anchorman will have a particular advantage in that he trill
.know whether to play it safe or go all out to win.
' The coaches also unanimously voted to use the flash card system
of announcing the scores.
The third change will probably never be seen in competition
by the average Penn State follower. It finally gives the all-around
athlete a break in the six-event marathon. Previously, if an athlete
fell off an apparatus, he was scored only on that part of his"
routine he completed, no matter if he fell off in the beginning
few seconds.
The new ruling would automatically knock off 20 points from
his final score but he would be allowed to remount the apparatus
and resume his exercise.
Temple’s Marty Nayowith provided an excellent example of
how the old rule hurt an all-around competitor’s score..Nayowith
fell off the high bar and scored only a 45. It ruined his chances of
finishing high in the event.
In talking to the judges Saturday, we found all seven of tha mj
except for Adam Waller, in complete agreement with the new all
around ruling. Walter seemed to think that the new ruling would
be "babying" the all-around performers, particularly the weak ones.
Lion coach Gene Wettstone had the perfect comment on Jay
Werner’s winning free exercise routine. The two-time Olympic coach
said, ‘‘He executed the required'free 'X’ as well as anyone I’ve ever
seen in collegiate or Olympic competition.” And that covers a lot
of ground and time. I particularly liked the “L-sit” on his fingertips.
And then he converted it into a handstand without bending his legs.
All that on his fingertips . . . Whatta sophomore.
as you know, that isn't very high off the floor!

I Chuck Medlar put the baseball team through a light workout
that was hindered by a few snow flurries again. Sophomore twirler
jßeicher pulled the best pitch of the day. I’d describe it as a "dis
lappearing’* ball. He wound up, threw, and the batter hit the dust—
he couldn’t see the ball. Reason: Reicher dropped it on the mound
and delivered nothing but air.
