For Record EIGL Title
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Feb. 28 A coachless Penn State
gymnastic team will climax its undefeated drive for the
Eastern Gymnastic League (E:
Field Ilouse this afternoon. T:
Even without Coach Gent
burg arranging for tonight's Fin
nish Exhibition the Lions are
heavy favorites to win their sixth
straight league meet and clinch
their record-setting ninfh EIGL
team title.
t And the Lions are in good con
dition with Captain Armando
Vega, Jay Werner and Lee Cun
,ningham heading the powerhouse
in us last dual meet before next
'week's EIGL individual cham
pionships. They will also be held
here at the Pitt Field House, (The
Lions have a non-league dual
meet remaining against a power
ful Michigan unit March 14 in
Rec Hall )
Immediately following the
meet. Vega will be driven to
Harrisburg where he will com
pete with freshman Greg Weiss
against the Finns at 8 p.m. (In
fact. he may take off early if
he is not needed on the last
event—flying rings.)
I Meanwhile back to the ranch
(commonly called a field house)
the Lions expect little trouble
from Coach Warren Neigers' crew
who have a 3-2 record.
Pitt's main scoring hopes lie
in triple-threat ,Dave Hirst. The
native Philadelphian is a whiz
at tumbling and should lock up
in an inter-city battle with the
injured Cunningham for third
place on the mats.
The top spot on the mats is a
battle between defending cham
pion Dave Dulaney and Don
Neeld who finished third in the
Easterns. Neeld had 262 and 245
scores in the championships. He
has been beaten only once this
year—by Syracuse's Al Bird, 256-
255. But he has defeated Du
laney's only conquerer, Cadet
Bill Seaward.
}first aiill face arlofher Phila-
deiphia foe, Werner, in his oth
er specialty—the flying rings.
He is undefeated in the airways
and his battle with Werner to
day will give the Lion a good
line on his chances for the East
ern ring title next Saturday.
The Panthers only other ser-,
ious threat is John Marcinko whet
has been winning consistently on'
the high bar. But his scores have
only ranged in the low 250's.

John Cacolice as its fastest man.
Cacolice's best time to date has
been a 4.3. The slowest time of
the East's best rope climbing team
of Vince Neuhauser, Don Little
wood and Jack Hidinger has been
a 4.0. But the Pitt rope is a "slow
one" in that it has a lot of swing
which cuts precious tenths-of
seconds from a climber's effort.
Cunningham, with a rapidly
healing left hand, should have
little trouble in winning the side
horse.
The Panthers' 3-2 record has
been compiled against Syracuse.
