C AGE SIX Every Man Contributed To Matmen's Eastern Tie It’s rather unusual in a tournament—where there are several possible ways to score points—that two teams should wind up in a tie.

Cinderella story ★ ★ ★ 1 960 Gym Preview Wettstone Says G-Men 'Must Go All Out 1 to Retain Crown By LARRY ROTH Gene Wettstone, in his 21st iyear as Penn State gym coach, has guided five teams to na tional titles and has tutored [l6 individual champions. One of those five team titles came last yer.i, and Wettstone figures that his Lions will have fto go all out at Rec Hall this weekend if they have any hopes of retaining their crown, ‘'To win this year, we’ll have to be at our very best,” said Wett stone “Not only will the field of mote than 200 "performers be the largest ever, but competition will be more intense and thrilling than in any previous year. "In fact, competition will be so severe that many individual Eastern, Big Ten, and West Coast Conference champions won’t make it to the finals." [ Wettstone said that Southern Cal will be the team to beat, but, he added that if Penn State could score around 115 points, the Lions would have a good chance : Just what does Wettstone fig ure his prodiges must do in order, to come up with 115 points in such a tough field’’ “As for first places, our best chances are on the parallel bars, swinging rings and there’s a good, [possibility in the all-around,” said i Wettstone. ! “Greg (Weiss) has been working, hard on his p-bar routine and has a leal good chance to win it. Jay (Wernei) won the rings last year so it’s obvious that he’ll be a mighty strong contender - espe cially on his home rings. And Weiss has a good chance in the all-around but California’s Art Shuilock looks awfully tough this year. “You know, when Armando (Vega) broke the all-around rec ord in last year’s nationals, Shur lock onlv lost to him by a few points. "Werner also has a pretty good chance of placing high in the all-around, but as for Lee (Cunningham), he has trouble on some of the all-around events IM Cagers Baffle For Play-off Spofs One fraternity and two inde pendent IM basketball league ties will be played off tonight when six teams battle for the right to [represent their leagues in eham ipionship play j Sigma Phi Epsilon faces Alpha ,Clu Rho to determine the fra ternity league ‘A’ title, SPE ad vanced to its league finals by squeaking past Delta Upsilon, 35- 34. last night The Scranton Miners, who beat the Chain Gang, 35-31 last night, meet House of Davey for the in dependent league ‘D’ champion ship.

Lee’s not weak by any ; means, but his strong points j are timing and rhythm. That’s I the type of gymnast he is. \ “Between the three of them, I, thipk we can get 14 points in thej all-around Now let’s go over the; other nine events and I’ll show : ,you what we’ll have to do to get [our 115 points.” j The Nittanj' mentor pointed out] that the scoring is based on 11 j points for first place, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc Sizing up State’s chances, his calculations showed the following. 11 points on the ; still rings, 8 on the side horse, 16 "'i the swinging rings, 19 for the T oe climb, 16 for the parallel bars. 16 for the high bar and 17 for the free exercise. “We don't have anvbody to en ter on the trampoline, and in tumbling I’ll probably enter Wer ner and maybe even Cunningham. But we can’t really count on that event for points since neither are real good tumblers by trade. ."Besides Weiss' firsl on the p-bars, I expect Jay lo get a sixth. As for the still rings, this is one of Werner's best events SIGN UP AT HUB MARCH 14-18 1960 Graduate Engineers The Inland Steel Company, East Chicago, Indiana, invites you to investigate career opportunities that are unprecedented in our history.

MARCH 16. 1960 and he should get a second and Weiss a ninth. “The way I figure it,” he con tinued. “Jerry Schaeffer could possibly take fifth on the swing ing rings along with Werner’s first. Judging on performances around the country this season, Wettstone said that the rope climb could be State’s most productive event On the basis of comparative times, he said Vince Neuhauser could tie for first, and Bill Fosnocht and Bob Mumau would stand a good chance for a fourth place tie. “Werner and Weiss could very well place second and third in the free exercise, and Cunningham and Greg could get fourth and ninth on the side horse,” Wett stone said. "All three should place well on the horizontal bar. On past performances I figure Cunning ham for third, Weiss for fifth and Werner for seventh.” TOURNAMENT NOTES Teams from coast to coast will start filing into University Park this afternoon and all day to ; morrow.
