Twice-beaten West Virgini worst displays of pvmnastics s the coaching leign of Gene Wett stone. Bui Wettstone was satis fied with the 12-point win. Freshman gymnast Greg Weiss aptly summed up the team’s feel ings: "Sure it was a terrible meet. But don’t forget, we could have lost it. And that would have been a catrastrophe." Still, the meet ran nearly as expected with Dave Dulaney win ning the tumbling event, Don Lit tlewood winning the rope climb and Jay Werner placing first in two events and second in another. It was obvious that Werner had a comparatively bad day. Still he was first on the high bar and fly ing rinks with the two highest scores, of the meet —a 267 on the bar and a 270 on the rings. On the parallels (which looked like they were greased the way the performers were falling off), Werner nearly fell off as he began his routine. He clutched the bar with one hand and swung back into a weakened routine to finish second. But the p-bart wer* not the worst event of the meet: the side horse won that distinction. The horse, which is the toughest apparatus to master, "threw” every performer. Even winner Frank Donatelli slipped off the horse—fortunately it was near the end of his routine. Donatelli’s most impressive move was a double rear-out with hand extended. Sophomore Ernie Lof gren finished 27 points behind Donatelli with a 175. But Eastern tumbling champ Dulaney flashed the form thatj could beat any opponent. Dulaney finished his third run with his patented double-twisting somer sault for a 263. Judges Adam Walter and Harry Nelson were disappointed with Lou'Savadove’s tumbling. One of their chief criticisms was his crooked walkout that ruined what John Egli. At the time of his injury.

They were also critical of Werner's winning high bar ex ercise. Nelson felt Werner is : still forcing himself. "He keeps pushing himself on the down swing of his giants instead of letting his mometum take him around in a smooth move." commented Nelson. The rope climbers pulled off the only sweep as Littlewood again lowered his best career time with a 3.7 clocking. Jack Hidinger was second and Bob Fosnocht was third. GYM SUMMARY Prnn State 54.
