To Boost MAC Prestige
By SANDY PADWE
Now it’s Gettysburg’s turn
to earn same added respect for
the Middle Atlantic Confer

Lion coach John Egli expects
plenty of trouble from the hust
ling Bullets and he cites their
record as the reason why.
Gettysburg has an 6-2 log in
cluding a 72-66 victory over
Bucknell. Their two losses were
to Temple, 63-61, and Navy,
72-53.
A bit miffed at the way his
Lions blew a nine-point lead with
just six minutes left against Buck

his bench for some second-line
help.
The Lions, (6-3) have been
using an average of six men a
game this year but Egli feels he
has some solid performers in Bill
Saul and Dave Robinson who
joined the team after the Liberty
Bowl.
"I'm going to try and work
them in there," Egli said. "They

Clouds Temple Meet
By BRUCE HENDERSON
Lion gym coach Gene Wettstone is a man of mixed
emotions this week.
He would like to see Greg Weiss capture a spot on the
team that will face the Russians Saturday night. But if Weiss
does, Wettstone faces the problem of losing his star for the
Temple meet Saturday afternon in Rec Hall.
Withholding judgment on the
issue, Wettstone commented, '‘we
will cross that bridge when we
come to it.”
However, he did indicate that
without Weiss, the. Lions would
be hard-pre.ssed to top the steadi
ly improving Owls.
Temple showed iis strength
last Saturday with an imnres
sive 69-26 rout of Southern
Connecticut State College.
The Owl gymnasts took five
first places out of six. losing only
in the rope climb.
Temple has been improving
steadily in the past few years, be
cause many of the home-grown
high school gym stars are staying
in Philadelphia. State grads,
Jay Werner and Lee Cunning
ham, along with sophomore ace
Tommy Seward, are all products
of Philadelphia schools.
If Weiss does not compete
compete against the Owls, Sew
ard will carry State’s scoring
hopes.
Against Springfield last Satur
day, Seward captured a first, sec
ond and third. His first came in
tumbling, which is Temple’s |
strongest event. ‘ j
In last year's dual-meet, the
Owls captured the top three
places in tumbling.
Temple stars, Lou Datilo, Ben
Scotkins, Roger Weiner and long
Bob Smith all appeared in Rec
Hall last year in the NCAA tour
nament.
