Penn State's 1959 gymnastic
team had no trouble completing
an undefeated season at Pitt Sat
urday, 55-38, and clinch its ninth
Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnas
tic League Championship. The
crown was the sixth Coach Gene
Vtlettctone's Lions have annexed
In the past ten campaigns.
The EIGL team title is decided
on the best dual meet record and
the Lions' unmarred 6-0 mark
was tops. Defending champion
A rmy was second with a 5-1
slate. Navy was third with 4-2;
Pitt fourth with 3-3; Temple was
fifth at 1-5 and Syracuse was
last at 0-6.
The Pitt meet was another
case of no-contest as the Lions
racked up a commanding lead
by winning the first five events
before losing the flying rings.
In fact. John Cacolice set a
new Pitt record in the rope climb
and finished only fourth.
It was just another easy day
for the Lion rope trio as each
bettered Cacohce's 39 mark in
sweeping their fifth meet of the
year Jack Iralinger lowered his
previous best by one-tenth of a
second and finished third at 38.
Don Littlewood won the rope
for the fifth time and beat team
mate Vince Netihan , er for the
first time this year, his time was
35. "Little John" now has one
win, one tie, and one loss against
Neuhauser who "only" had a 3.'7
on Pitt's "slow" rope.
Captain Armando Vega only
competed in two events—high
bar and parallels. He won both.
His high bar SCORE wasn't up
to par—"only" a 274—and nei
ther was his p-bar SCORE—a
279. But it wasn't because he
missed. he didn't. For the see-
and straight week, two judges
scored 95 for his p-bar routine
and the third judge was only
in the high 90's. But they criti
cized his movements as too
ro u g h— for a champion like
Vega.
In winning the other two
events, the Lions gave their fans
a good preview of what to expect
in the Eastern championships this
weekend at Pitt.

consistent scoring with another

Hennon Thrills Huge Crowd---
Panthers Tame
Nittany Cagers
By SANDY PADWE
TWo words can best sum up Pitt's 84-65 win over Penn
State Saturday night—Don Hennon.
Playing his last game in a Pitt uniform, the s'-8" All-
American bowed out with a spectacular all-around perform
ance that thrilled - the 5447 Hennon-night fans who jammed
the Pitt Field House
Hennon only scored 18 points,
nine below his average, but his
playmaking and passing set up 24
other points and led indirectly to
many more.
After a comparatively slow
first half which saw Pitt go
ahead of the Lions and then
fight to hold the lead, Hermon
went to work and proceeded to
break the game wide open in
the second half.
Pitt built up a 54-37 lead mid
way in the second half—mainly
on Hennon's shooting and play
making. Then the Nittany Lions
put a full court press on the
Panthers and narrowed the gap to
six points, 55-49, at the 10-minute
mark.
At this point Hennon really
started to move. Working out-of
went to work. Working out-of
bounds plays designed to get by
the full-court-press, the "Wam
pum Wonder" dribbled the length
of the court and dumped in a run
ning push shot.
The next time he got his hands
on the ball he did almost the
same thing. But this time when
he got in close he passed off to
John Mills for another Panther
bucket.
The Lions couldn't stop him.
Just about every 'time he got
the ball he dribbled his way
through the Lion defenses and
passed off to Mills or Dave
Sawyer when it seemed the
Lions' defense would Smother
him.
With four minutes left, Pitt had
the game wrapped up with a 73-
57 lead. But the Lions kept fight
ing. They had visions of the earlier
comeback they had made but they
were too far behind.
Thanks to Hennon, Mills was
Pitt's high scorer. The 6-5 junior
dumped in 29 points with most
of them coming on passes from
Hennon which led to layups right
under the hoo.. Saw er and Hen-
