D West Virginia meet : judge Harry Nelson mer had a potential 1 (total 240) if he wo (complete) his routine, Palmer, who has never hit in his collegiate career, has been foundering from 75 to 1173 scores this year. But against the Middies he almost completed his routine and wound up with a 223 score. It was “only" good enough for fourth place, but the Navy com petition (and teammate Lee Cun ningham) was the toughest he'll face this year. Another hidden asset has been Lou Savadove. The versatile sen ior is probably the best “substi tute” in the nation. The reason Savadove has been playing the role of a sub is the Lions’ three triple-threats Armando Vega, Jay Werner and Lee Cunningham. Savadove has done a commend able job of filling in at tumbling, on the high bar and on the paral lel bars. And he keeps improving, at least by his scores. The Biz Ad senior prefers the high bar. but with the ineligi bility and injury of tumbler Graeme Cowan, he has been pressed into service on ih'e maty. His tumbling scores indicates his willingness to perform and his desire to improve—183, 194, 193 and 237. His p-ba; routines also show improvement—2lo, 158 and 236. The team that has scored the most points this year has been the rope climbers. They own three sweeps (13-3) and a win over Army. The victory over the Cadets was the most impressive and marked the trio as the best in the East, if not the nation. The climbers, which Wettstone rates his fastest, have all knocked at least two-tenths of a second off their best clockings last year.
