Like the varsity football
soccer teams, the Lion c

manned unexpectedly.
At the latest count of
varsity coach Chick Werner I

A minimum of 14 candi

MATter-a-FACT
NTERNATIONAL SPORTS FLAVORING-
The sports department of The Daily Collegian is annually put
in a tough spot at the beginning of a new semester on a matter of
journalistic timing. While Nye are out of action for the three summer
months, various things occur in the collegiate sports world that we
don't get to you at the time it happens.
Therefore we are left in the position of forgetting most of it
and just reviewing that which is either timely or important.
In the spring of 1957, we discontinued publication just as the
Lion baseball team won the Eastern championship and headed
for the college World Series in Omaha, Neb. They finished second
in the nation to California.
We came back in September and told the tale three months
later. Yet in a way, it was timely
That brings us to this summer's developments. During the June
to-September period, four Penn State gymnasts competed in inter-
national events
The most outstanding of course, was Armando Vega, who en
rolled at the niversity Monday after a semester
of non-competition.
We think the international treks of this Penn
State athlete are worthy of our attention—at this
late• date.
Armando trained for the World Championships
in Moscow, but that was the story we told you
about yesterday. The one we will attempt to con
centrate on today is the personal side of his
escapades through Euroße.
The muscular Olympian told us that although ,
the Russians "tried hard to please us (the U.S.
team), when we got out of there we were really
relieved." Armando, tried to explain the pressure
of being behind the Iron Curtain, but his tense.
ness and loss for words were explanation enough.
On the subject of Russia, Armando said he considers the Rus
sians to be all professionalS. "Even their coaches are listed as ama
teurs and you know that in the United States, a coach is a pro and
ineligible for amateur events."
"But those Russians sure are workers. I used to think this
little boy was the hardest worker there was, but not after seeing
them. They work, work, work all the time. And it pays off be
cause they're always in the best of shape and almost always win
any distance event."
"And you know,-they have a good cause for working so hard—
themselves. The athletes are privileged characters. They wear the
best clothes and drive good cars. Besides that, a good athlete is
known all over the country and that's why he works so hard—
he wants to hold his prifileged position."
Armando also toured various other European countries where
he was treated "much ni er and the people were more sociable."
But he did get into anot er tense spot when he hit Beirut during
the American landings.
He had a one-word
experience: "Scared."

try or track experience should
not be hesitant to come out for
the sport as long as they have
the desire to run.
Some of Penn State's most
successful runners never com
peted in track or cross-country
before coming to the Univer
sity.
Curt Stone, 1946 Nittany cross
country captain, couldn't break
five minutes in the mile in high
school. Yet, later, he ran for the
United States in the 5000 and
10,000-meter runs in the Olympic
Games at London, Melborne and
Helsinki.

Hutchison, not yet relieved of
his field command of the Cardi

four offers but has declined to
pin-point them.

managed Detroit.
In Baltimore, the Orioles front
office said the report of Hutch
inson becoming a manager came
as a surprise.
Writers covering the Baltimore
club said they doubted Hutchin
son would manage Baltimore. The
writers pointed out that Paull
Richards still has a year to go,
on his contract as general man- ,
ager-field manager. They said
Richards might be interested in
Hutchinson as a coach or chief
scout.
The Post-Dispatch said Rich
ards would vacate the field man
ager's job and move upstairs in
the front office.
Hutchinson and Richards were
battery mates at Detroit in 1946
and were rival managers from
1952 through 1954 when Hut
chinson had the Tigers and
Richards the Chicago White
Sox.
Solly Hemus, Philadelphia in
fielder, has been tabbed as the
replacement for Hutchinson but
the Cardinal's brass has been
mum on the subject.
Hutchinson came under fire in
St. Louis. His critics say he doesn't
play enough inside baseball and
leaves hard-hit pitchers in too
long.
The Post-Dispatch also report
ed that former Cardinal Manager
