SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 1960 GI-Men Meet Army For Eastern Title By LARRY ROTH Undefeated powers Penn State and Army will battle for the Eastern gymnastic cham pionship today at West Point, New York. The Lions, 3-0 this season, will carry a 14-meet winning streak Into the contest with the Cadets, who loom as the toughest oppon ent for the defending national champions. ' Boasting a string of eight vic tories themselves, the Cadets have coasted past five oppon ents this year. Massachusetts, Spring fie 1 d, Temple, Pitt and Syracuse have all lost to the Cadets. While the visiting Lions have more individual stars, the Cadets rate the edge in depth with three seasoned performers in each event Only Bill Deuel is used in two events—the parallel bars and fly ing rings The Cadets use 17 men in a meet compared to 12 for the Lions. The Lions three all-around men, Lee Cunningham. Jay Werner and sophomore Greg Weiss. each compete in three events for Coach Gene Welt stone's crew. They have already proved that they are capable of handling three jobs in one meet. Cunningham and Werner com bined to win five of the six events In Penn State's latest triumph, a 63-33 win over Navy. Weiss placed fourth in the all around competition at last sum mer's Pan-American Games. With the possible exception of the horizontal bar and paral lel bars, the visitors will find themselves hard pressed for an advantage. Lion Gridders Hope to Begin Spring Practice by March 19 Weather permitting, Penn State, will begin spring football practice on or about March 19. Under NCAA rules, 20 days are alloted for spring drills. Penn State coach Rip Engle is expected to use the time looking for personnel to plug the gaps left by graduating seniors. One of the biggest changes could involve halfback Dick Hoak. Hoak, an all-state quarterback at Jeanette, Pa., High School, was a starting halfback last year. but necessity may force Engle to move him back to his old posi tion. With AU-American Richie Lu cas gone, Galen Hall is the only experienced signalcaller left, and the Lions will be in dire need of someone to back him up. Hoak probably will be given a thorough trial during spring drills and most observers believe he will give Hall a battle for the starting assignment. The junior halfback was State's third best rusher and leading pass receiver last year. The Lions can afford to move Hoak due to an abundance of standout halfbacks such as .Roger Kochman, Jim Kerr and Dick Pae.

Moran, who was caught in 4:04 for the mile last week, took the lead after two laps and had no trouble gaining with every stride the rest of the way. At the tape he was 15 yards ahead of Mike Caraftis, a New York A.C. tcammate. Tom Boze more of Duke was third and Frank Finnerty of Alfred was fourth. Had Moran been extended, he could have done better. As it was his clocking was just one and eight-tenths seconds off the indoor record of 2:08.2 held jointly by Don Gehrmann and Arnie Sowell.
