JANUARY 10. 1961 Gymnasts' Depth Tops Maroons As Four LioNic C t re Firsts Penn State's Greg Weiss, lost his personal duel with Springfield's all-around star, Jeff Cardinali Saturday night, but the national champion Nittany Lions relied on depth and balance to topple the Maroons, 57-39 at Springfield, Mass. Four Lion gymnasts captured first places, with Weiss and Tom my Seward scoring most heavily. Cardinali garnered laoth firsts for Springfield. After the first two events, State led by only 17-15, but then the Lions piled up points on the high bar and rope climb to clinch team honors.

Vega isn't assured of a spot on the six-man U.S. squad which will oppose the Russian Olympic team Saturday night, but everyone in the vicinity of Mt. Nittany will be pulling for him to win a berth. The former Lion star is one of the ten gymnasts who will compete in a tryout for the squad beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday in Rec Hall. Vega, who is coaching at New Mexico State, is no stranger to the Russians or international com petition. He performed against some of the Soviet athletes in the 1956 Olympic games at Melbourne and then participated against them in various European meets. Vega has plenty of respect for the Russians. "I think, if they per form up to their capabilities, they will take the flying rings, the side horse and the high bar," he said yesterday, But the soft-spoken star wasn't counting himself or the rest of the U.S. squad out by any means. "If I make the team," he said, "I think I have as good a chance as anybody in four of the events—the rings, parallel bars, long horse and free exercise." Vega said the choice of un biased officials should help the' United States' chances. He ad mitted that officials in European' meets, especially from Satellite countries, were prejudiced toward FLYING CLUB MEETING WED., JAN. 11 8 P.M. ROOMS 214.215 NUB . FILM ENTITLED "WHO. ME FLY?"

As for making the team, Vega thinks any of the ten competitors could win a berth. "I've worked out against and beat all of them at one lime or another," he said. "But if some one gets hot, you never can tell." Although he is a consistent performer, Vega is quite capable of coming up with a hot streak of his own. In fact, in his final appearance for Penn State in the 1959 NCAA finals, Veßa put on one of the greatest scoring sprees in the his tory of American gymnastics. He scored a total of 1654 1 / 2 points for the six events in the all-around competition, an aver age of 288 per event. To say Vega was a campus hero would be a slight under statement. In •his heyday at State he was to Lion fans what matinee idols are to love-sick women. Endowed with that evasive and undefined quality called show manship, Vega made a habit of rising to the occasion. At one time or another in his illustrious career he was national champ on the flying rings, paral lel bars, free exercise and long horse. He finished fourth on the parallel bars in the 1956 Olym pics. Counted on as one of the main stays of the 1960 Olympic squad, Vega never quite made it to Rome due to injuries. For the past year he has been doing graduate work at New Mexi co State and coaching the gym team on the side. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. tiTATE COLLEGE.

Moran Off to Good Start, Takes First at Baltimore Penn State grad student Ed Moran recorded the second fastest mile ever run on a flat track Saturday night at the All Eastern Games in Baltimore. Moran, a former Lion track great, led Bob Vinton of the Baltimore Olympic Club by 35 yards as he breezed across the tape in 4:08.8 Moran ran 4:08.3 at the Wash ington Star Games last year to set the record for a flat track. The AAU does not accept flat floor marks in its rec ord books, Pat Clohessy of Houston fin ished third be hind Vinton. A pair of Olympi ans Pete Close and Deacon Jones finished fourth and fifth respectively. Ed Moran Moran, who started off last year with his resounding per formance at the Star Games, later experienced some bitter defeats.. He missed qualifying for an Olympic berth in the 1500 meters when he was edged by Close, a runner he beat consistently in many outings last year. "This is a new year," Moran said yesterday, "and I intend to look ahead and not back." Kerr's Interceptions Aid East Victory Special to the Collegian HONOLULU, Jan. 10 After coaching Jim Kerr in the Hula Bowl here yesterday, Joe Ku harich probably wouldn't mind going back to the Washington Redskins. Kerr, a Penn State halfback who signed a 1961 contract with the 'Skins, was a defensive stand out for Kuharich's East team which beat the West, 14-7. Kuharich, who left the Red skins to take the head coaching job at Notre Dame two years ago, was quite impressed with K,!rr who came up with a pair of key pass interceptions. Kerr's interception of a Bill Kilmer pass set up the winning East touchdown in the thin quar ter. In the closing minutes Kerr again was the hero when he stopped a West touchdown drive by intercepting another aerial from Washington's Bob Schloredt. communications products—electronic switch ing, carrier, microwave and missile guidance systems and components such as transistors, diodes, ferrites, etc. Every day, engineers at onr manufacturing plants are working to bring new developments of our associates at Bell Telephone Laboratories into practical reality.
