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.
Kochman, an 18-year-old jet
streak, almost pulled the Syra-

edge. Red Seward has hit for a

anything the Lions have to offer.

points they can in the Nittanies'

Penn State's indoor trackmen will get their first taste
of regular season competition today when they dual with
Pitt and Navy at Annapolis.
Although Coach Chick Werner's boardmen will be minus
the services of middle distance runner Bill Schwab, they
are well fortified with veterans
in every event with the excep
tion of the shot put.
Schwab injured an ankle in
practice last week and will be
out for the remainder of the in
door season
In the shot put, the only
weight event of the meet, State
will be represented by two
sophomores, Bill Simon and
Bill Snow.
Both Simon and Snow will be
appearing in their first intercol
legiate meet, and they will be up
aga nst some rough competition
in the person of Jim Hart. The
Middle star holds the Academy
record for the shot with a heave
of 52'4".
In the 60-yard dash Coach Wer

sprinters in the East in Bobby

PHILADELPHIA UP) Ed
Moran, crew-cut Penn State
graduate student running for the
New York A.G., whipped to a
2:10 victory in the 1,000-yard
run last night in the Inquirer
Games before a packed house
of 10,650 in Convention Hall.
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.
