5 Tourhey Gymnasts Proteges
Of First All-Around Champion
By JOHNNY BLACK
Five of the top gymnasts
competing in Rec Hall this
weekend are products of one
high school and one outstand
ing coach—Joe Giallombardo
who is also one of the tourna
ment judges.
Illinois stars Ray Hadley and
Bill Lawler, lowa’s Bill Buck and
Drew Mawhinney and Southern
Cal’s Larry Spiegel were all pro
teges of Giallombardo at New
Trier High School in suburban
Chicago.
Giallombardo said it’s lough
io be a judge when his former
pupils are performing. He said
that in a case like this a judge
lends lo be over-crilical of Ihem
in an effort lo compensate for
the nalural lendency lo favor
ihem.
He said Illinois star Ray Had
ley, Big Ten champ as a sopho
more this year, wasrthe best he
ever coached. “The boy is ex
tremely devoted to the sport," he
said.
The first NCAA champion,
Giallombardo held the all-around
and tumbling titles for three years,
1938-40. The year he graduated
he went to New Trier and began
coaching the high school kids.
Turning a deaf ear io all col
lege offers, Giallombardo has
remained at Ihe high school
where he "can work in Ihe
whole field of physical educa
tion and develop youngsters in
gymnastics."
Giallombardo's aim is to get
as many youngsters as possible
acquainted .with gymnastics.
“The sport is really rising in
our area,” he said. “We have an
Intramural gym program now with
over 80 per cent of the high school
boys participating.
"The Chicago area is rivaling
Los Angeles and Philadelphia
for high school gymnastics,"
said Giallombardo. "We had a
stale high school meet last week
in which the three lop ringmen
would have placed in the top
five in ihe Big 10."
The Chicago example is indi
cative of the rising popularity of
fymnastics all over the country.
his emphasis in high school is
constantly improving the college
sport.

The Penn State fans came un
der fire from several quarters last
night for hissing; for applause for
lessen Says Braves
Will Win NL Pennant
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
BRADENTON, Fla. (/P) |
Chuck Dressen may be brash,!
outspoken and perhaps ego-;
tistical but he is also a solid
baseball man and one of the
smartest managers in the
game. |
So when the little Milwaukee
pilot said recently that the Dod
gers wouldn’t win the pennant
again because the Braves
would, he was not intending to
helittle his old _ club. He was
merely voicing his sincere belief.
Yesterday, he went even fur
ther, “I still think we’re better
than the Dodgers. In fact, Mil
waukee was a better club than
the Dodgers last year, too,” he
said. “The only thing the Dodgers
had was a stronger defense. They
won last year but they won’t this
year.

STILL RING PERFORMANCE— Heinz Breigel of Massachusetts
performs on the still rings in
Penn State scores while other
performers were in the middle of
their routines; and for the lack ofi
applause for good performances
of visiting gymnasts.
Visiting competitors and coach
es acknowledged that the Penn
State crowds are the largest andi
most avid in the country and
their enthusiasm for their own
boys was understandable. But as
Cal’s Jim Fairchild said, “They
applaud the scores rather than
the performances.”
Southern Cal, touted as one
of the pre-meet threats for the
Lions' team crown faded fast
yesterday afternoon, but little
second base and maybe in left
field. I’d like lo see whether
Wes Covington has recovered
from his operation." Covington
is still unsigned.
Dressen plans to make few j
changes on the club that lost the
1959 flag to the Dodgers in
off. He is putting a stronger stress
on fundamentals such sis perfec
ting the cutoff play and accentu
ating the steal and hit and run.
Other changes include shift
ing Eddie Mathews, ihe club's
top home run hitter, from sec
ond lo third in the lineup, and
mapping out a pitching rotation
that would provide more work
for the younger hurlers and
more rest for veterans, Warren
Spahn and Lew Burdette.
“My idea is to cut down on
Spahn’s and Burdette’s losses
and, at the same time, make it
possible for them to win as many
games as they did last year,” he.
[said. “It could be done and I’ll
'show them how.”

last night’s action at Rec Hall,
Sam Garcia captured the heart
of ihe fans.
Garcia, Xive feet and one inch
of smoothness and coordination,
amused the fans when he had to
be lifted to the apparatus before
starting his routines.
Armando Vega, a qualified ob
server, called Jay Werner the
surprise of the tourney. “Jay had
a tremendous day,” he said.
Vega expected two of his Cali
fornia friends—Attila Takach and
Bob Lynn to be closer contenders
in the all-around. “They had some
tough luck,” he said. “When they
hit, they’re deadly.”

Bradley, Providence
Clash in NIT Finals
By HUGH FULLERTON JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (/P) The Bradley Braves and Chet Walker,
quickly recovering from their drugged-drink scare of Thurs
day night, will meet the unseeded but enthusiastic Providence
Friars this afternoon in the final game of the National Invi
tation Basketball Tournameni
Prior to the televised fina
final victims, St. Bonaventure
and Utah State, will decide third
place <n the tournament.
Walker. Bradley's 6-fooi-6
sophomore center, became ill
after drinking a glass of orange
juice mysteriously delivered to
his hotel room before Thurs
day night's 82-71 semifinal vic
tory over Si. Bonaventure. He
said it lasted queer.
Doctors examined him before
the game and said he was tense, j
weak but able to play. Coach
Chuck Orsborn called for another
examination yesterday and a doc
tor found symptoms of nervous
tension but no indication of poi
soning. Walker was given pills to
quiet his nerves and was told to
stay in bed and to watch his diet.
Another glass of juice, un
touched by Walker’s roommate
A 1 Sanders, was sent to a police
laboratory for analysis. No
trace of drugs or poison was
found.
" Bradley is top seeded in thel
tournament and likely will be a
strong favorite. Providence upset
third-seeded St. Louis 64-53 and
second-seeded Utah State 68-62
enroute to the final. i
