Led by big guns Lee Cu' ham, Jay Werner and Greg who gai nered 41 points, t beaten Penn State gym tea pedoed previously und; Navy, 63-33, Saturday Rec Hall. But the big one comes Satur day when the Lions travel to Army for a meet which will prob ably decide the Eastern champion ship. Navy Coach Chet Phillips, un doubtedly impressed by the Lions' best team performance of the year, predicted the Nit tanies would beat the Cadets handily. Cunningham started blazing the road to victory when he out tumbled Navy's Jim Sparks, 240- 237, to win what Wettstone calls "our weakest event." The side horse produced a pleasant surprise as senior Dave Palmer turned in his best var sity performance with a 246 to cop second place. Cunningham, last year's East ern side horse champ, made it two for two by winning with a 258 in a routine highlighted by a very high scissors A duel in this event failed to materialize when sophomore Weiss, winner of the event in the Pan American games last summer, suffered a major break in his first varsity performance in Rec Hall. It was his first break in 57 exercises covering a span of three years. The big three—Cunningham, Weiss and Werner—swept the horizontal bar in that order. Weiss came back to score a 268 but Cunningham completed his triple win with a brilliant 279. Werner, who suffered a minor break, still scored a creditable 254 for third place. While this was Penn State's strongest event, it was also the Russian Claims Record; Swede Sights 7' Jump LENINGRAD (i') A Russian engineering student yes terday was credited with an amazing clocking of 10.4 seconds for 100 meters indoors—the world's fastest time for the sprint on an indoor track. Tass, the Soviet news agency, said ?matoly IVlikhailov, 23, raced the 100, 109 yards, 1 foot at a national meet of the Trud Sports Society at Leningrad's Winter Stadium. The International Ama teur Athletic Federation does not recognize indoor records The American record for 100 meters indoors—a distance rare ly run because of short straight aways in U.S. arenas—is 10.7 sec onds, set by Robert Rodenkirchen at Brooklyn, Jan. 8, 1938. NEW YORK (4) Stig Pet ersson, Sweden's No. 1 higher jumper sees problems ahead, but thinks he can join the 7-foot club. "I need a lot of practice," the 6-4 Stockholm Lithographer said Monday. "Then, if I can learn to control my run up to the; bar. I could get to 7 feet." His best mark so far is ;6-11%.

All three Mid shipmen, including Captain Paul Carwin, fell off the bar. Phillips said it was the first time in his 24 years of coaching that he ever saw all three men, from the same team fall off a single piece of apparatus. "Ordinarily," he said. "our boys appear before 500 peo ple, and that crowd out there (4200), although perfectly be haved, made them tense. Why it was like putting a five-year old in the middle of a Broadway play." The rope climb produced the closest scoring of the night and Navy's only first place. The culprit was Eastern record holder Nelson Hulme, wh o climbed the hemp in 3.7 seconds— well above his record 3 3 effort. Vince Neuhauser took second place for the Lions. with a 3.3 while visitor Bill Phingstag and the Lions' Bill Fosnocht and Bob Mumau tied for the third spot with 3.9 Then Werner took over where Cunningl•ani left off. He won main trouble is the speed of the indoor boards. He got to 6-8 in the Boston Athletic Assn. meet last Saturday, but was on the sidelines watching when John Thomas equalled his own world record of 7-11/2. Thomas made a good impres sion on Petersson, who thinks the Boston U. sophomore will get close to 7-3. "His form is absolntely per fect," the Swede said. 'He gets a lot of height by throwing his arms and legs toward the ceiling when he is going over the bar.
