Evidence May Show
Russia Broke Cables
WASHINGTON (10—The United States told the Soviet
Union yesterday that evidence in its possession indicates a
Soviet fishing trawler was responsible for breaking five
trans-Atlantic cables between Feb. 21 and Feb. 25.
A diplomatic note was handed to Moscow. It said the
United States "was satisfied 'that
the evidence in its possession
raises a strong presumption" that
the trawler Novorossisk violated
the 1884 international convention
for the protection of cables to
which bah the United States and
the Soviet Union are parties.
The note reserved the right to,
make claims for damages and re
quested that any who may be
found guilty be punished. It re
jected a Soviet protest- in the
matter.

Vega Takes
Three lsts
By MATT MATHEWS
Associate Sports Editor
The final results of the
NCAA gymnastic champion
ships showed Lion fans some
thing they've known all along
—this is the greatest collegiate
gym team ever assembled.
In winning their fifth national
crown, the Lions broke their own
scoring record of 137 points with
a 152 point output. Of six other
new records they added to the
NCAA log, Armado Vega claimed
In winning the all-around in
Friday's preliminaries Vega broke
his own record (set in 1957) by
53 1 / 2 points with a total of 16541/2.
That's an average score of 88.9
for the six events.
The Lion captain joins three
other all-time great gymnasts
as a three time champion as he
won the parallel bar crown in
all three years of varsity come
petition.
He also ties Penn State's Jean
Cronstedt (of the 1954 power)
with six individual titles in his
career. Only one athlete has ever
won seven.
Vega's three firsts this year also
place him second in that division.
Cronstedt holds the record of
four, set in 1954.
The 1959 addition also ties the
1954 mark of having six individ
ual titles in one tourney.
Besides Vega, senior Dave
Dulaney made if a complete
sweep of all the collegiate
fumbling titles as did (3.5) Don
Littlewood in tho rope climb.
The sixth title was a very plea
sant surprise, though, as Jay
Werner won the flying rings.
(and Vega was second!)
This writer and other observers
have always felt that Werner has
the best and toughest flying rou
tines in the nation. But he has
also been known to be very cold
on occasions.
Fortunately, this past weekend
was Jay's greatest in collegiate
gymnastics—but there are plenty
more thrills and honors ahead for
!him in the coming year.
"I'm really expecting a lot from
Jay next year," said gym Coach
Gene Wettstone. "I think that he
mined a lot of confidence at
Berkley, and that should help
him a lot."
Werner had progressed slow
er than expected during the
(Continued on page six)
tion of sending a party aboard the
Novorossisk off Newfoundland on
Feb. 26 during an investigation of
damage to the cables.
The Russian Piotest denied that
the Novorossisk was responsible
for the breaks in the .cables, al
leged that the United States had
no reason to inspect the trawler
and that its detention of the So
viet vessel was undertaken with
"provocative purposes."
The note gave a detailed, de
scriptioni of the cable breaks.
There were 12 breaks in the five
cables, it said.
