Weiss' 3 First Places
Shine in Loss to Plebes
Although the freshman gym
nasts lost to the Plebes Saturday,
a future star on the Penn State
scene shown brightly.
Hts name: Greg Weiss. His claim
to fame: First places in the only
three events he was allowed to
enter (under Eastern Intercol
legiate rules).
To add to the brightness of the
glow (on Coach Gene Wettstone’s
face) Weiss received only one
score under a 90 and that was an
84 on the side horse, the most dif
ficult apparatus in EIGL compe
tition.
On Weiss’ performance Wett
stone tongue-in-cheeked: “Mr.
Greg Weiss’ scores indicate that
his exercises must have been real
ly outstanding.”
That they were. Weiss won the
nasts Blast Midshipmen, 67-29
side horse by 89 points over his
nearest competitor with a 266
score (84-90-92). He won the high
bar by “only” 79 with a 275 total
(90-92-93). And he climaxed the
day by finishing 104 points ahead
of the field on the parallel bars
(90-92-95: 277).
Jerry Shaefer also took a first—
with a 233 on the flying rings.
But the Lion yearlings lacked
depth and lost their first of two
meets, 51 ]/ 2-43 J ,2. (They finish at
Pitt on Feb. 28.)
Ken Murrow with a second on
the p-bars, Dick Criley with a
third in tumbling (as the only
Lion entree) and Keith Hagen
back with a third on the horse
were other high scorers for the
frosh.

the end of his routine, he still
earned a highly respectable 223

also, wifh his best routine. He
had a 212.
From then on, the Navy was
able to get only three thirds—
two of them by John Morgan and
a “gift” on the flying rings as
Wettstone entered only Werner
