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.

Track Team
To Invade
Big 10 Area
Coach Chick Werner’s indoor
track squad will take to the air
this weekend to invade the Mid
west for a taste of Big Ten compe
tition.
The Nittany Lions fly by char
tered plane to Columbus, Ohio, to
encounter the undefeated Buck
eyes of Ohio State Saturday.
The powerful Bucks outscored
Purdue and Kentucky in a tri
angular meet'and last weekend
dumped the perennially strong
Michigan State Spartans, 65-49.
Olympian Glenn Davis is the
key figure -in the potent OSU of
fense. The 400-meter hurdles
champion in the 1956 Olympics,
Davis is completing his.last sea
son of eligibility in collegiate
circles.
Davis leads his team in five
events —the 440, the 70-yard high
hurdles, the 70-yard low hurdles,
the 60-yard dash andf the high
jump.
The Lions will be facing some
new or slightly altered indoor
'events in Ohio. They will run a
440 and 880-yard run in place of
the 600 and 1000-yard distance.
The high hurdle course will be
10 yards longer than the usual
60 and a 70-yard low hurdle event
will be included. Only one relay
will be run—the one-mile relay.
The Buckeyes are strong in all
field events and will pose quite
a problem for the Nittany field
men who were not in the best of
form at Army last week.
Werner will be running off
time trials this week to deter
mine his best combination for the
21-man traveling squad.
Engle's Streak Intact
Rip Engle’s nine-year football
coaching record at Penn State is
53 victories, 26 defeats, and 4 ties.
He has never had a losing season.

In Swimming Meets
Phi Delta Theta finished strong to offset an early deficit
and eked out a slim 21-19 victory over Alpha Gamma Rho in
an intramural swimming meet yesterday at Glennland Pool.
Richie Lucas, timed 39.0, swept across the finish line first
in the 00-yard free-style event, and Jim Mullin copped top

lead.
Alpha Gamma Rho surged
back led by Dick Campbell and
Fred Meckley, who finished
first and second respectively in
the 60-yard breaststroke. They
overtook Phi Delt and grabbed
a 14-12 advantage.
AGR increased its lead to 19-16
when Dick Campbell defeated Phi
Delt’s Frank Donatelli in diving,

Phi Delt’s squad of Donatelli,
Ken. Todd, Tom Fey and Lucas
swept the 120-yard relay race by
overcoming the team of Ken Sink,
Dave Bailey, Larry Spencer and
Bill Paules. This event was the
deciding factor in Phi Delt’s win.
In another match yesterday,
Beta Theta Pi, led by Herm Web

Weber's first place in the 60-
