'Big Three' to Pace
Strong Gym Squad
By MATT MATHEWS
Associate Sports Editor
The last winter sport to open its season will be gymnas
tics, but in this case the old axiom "last but not least" may be
more correctly applied as "last and best."
The 1959" gymnastic powerhouse opens its season January
10 against Temple in Recreation Hall according to the
regular season schedule.
But • the first actual . compe
tition against the Finnish Olym
pic gymnasts on January 9 will
be the first chance for Coach
Gene Wettstone's proteges to
show their scoring power.
Wettstone, who has coached
the 1948 and 1956 United States
Olympic squads, seriously expects
his collegian crew to give the
European gymnastic champs a
tough battle.
Wettstone will have available
the "Big Three"—his own Olym
pic protege, Armando Vega, and
two juniors -whom he is groom
ing for future Olympic competi
tion, Jay Werner and Lee Cun
ningham.
The latter two have trained at
the pre-Olympic gymnastic clinic
in Sarasota, Fla., last year and
will again attend the clinic during
this Christmas vacation.
During their sophOmore
years in collegiate competition.

The tea in

on the outcome of the 165-

Gross meets DU's Dubinsky.
Dubinsky has registered three
decisions including a victory
over Bill White, medal-winner

kingpins-123-pound Dave Au
