FRIDAY. JANUARY 13. 1961 Maloney to Reveal Lineup For Russian Meet Today American gym coach Tom Maloney will not announce his lineup for tomorrow’s meet with the Russians until this afternoon, and the Olympic coach has a tough choice to make. Three Olympians and four stars with special invitations gave im pressive performances before Ma loney and three thousand fans in Rec Hall last night. Another Olympian Able Gross feld of Illinois, did not compete in the tryout. He missed his flight connections and will try out for the team this morning. Penn Staters Greg Weiss, Ar mando Vega and Jay Werner were among the seven competitors for the five spots open on the team. Olympic team members Gar O’Quinn, Fred Orlofsky and Don Tonry joined with Bob Lynn and the three State stars in the try out. Maloney wants some time to think over last night’s perform ances before making his final de cision. He expressed pleasure with the overall showing and condition of the squad. “We’ve had such good performances here tonight, I hope we save some of it for the Rus sians,” he said. Penn State coach Gene Welf stone praised the showing of Vega, Weiss and Werner. "I Berra Signs Contract NEW YORK (£>) Yogi Berra signed his 1961 contract with the New York Yankees today.

Grossfeld is a question mark. The former Illinois stair is re ported in top shape and could break info the lineup with a good showing this morning. Grossfeld won the all-around at the National Gym Clinic in Sara sota, Fla. over the Christmas va cation, defeating many of the gymnasts in last night’s tryout. Maloney gave his boys a “fine chance” to defeat the Russians tomorrow night. “If the judges are on their toes and our boys hit, we can give them a real run for their, money.” Maloney said that his team ; should have finished higher than it did in the Olympic games last year. “We didn’t deserve first or sec ond, but we certainly deserved third,” he said. The American team took fifth in the games, while Russia was finishing second to Japan. “In Europe a good routine by our boys would only get a 93 or 94, but a European or Russian doing the same routine would get 96 or 97.” Maloney said. Vega expressed the same senti ment yesterday. He said that for eign judges, especially those from Satellite countries, were preju diced against American teams. Two judges from each country are expected to score tomorrow night’s meet. Olympic star Jack Beckner already has a position on the team for the Russian meet. The Californian has leaching obli gations and won't arrive here until tomorrow afternoon. Maloney will pick an alternate to fill in if Beckner should have trouble getting here in time for the meet. Temple's Hope for Upset Hinqes on Weiss' Status By BRUCE HENDERSON Temple’s steadily improv ing gymnasts will be aiming for an upset over Penn State’s NCAA champs at 2 o’clock to morrow afternoon in Rec Hall. And if Greg Weiss lands a spot on the team facing the Russians tomorrow night and does not compete against the Owls, Lion Coach Gene Wettstone thinks they’ll be a definite threat to beat State. Last year Temple moved with in nine points of the powerful Lions, losing 52 Vi-43 Vi. in Penn State's opener. That day Weiss carried the team with three firsts, while the l famed “gold-dust twins,” Lee Cunningham and Jay Werner, suffered through their worst per jformances of the season. Wettstone says that this year “Temple is good—very good.” The Owls warmed up for to morrow's meet by overwhelm ing Southern Connecticut State College 69-26 last Saturday. Temple will bring a veteran squad to challenge the Lions. Sev en of its members competed in! the NCAA tourney in Rec Hall last year. Bill Hoffman, who took a third on the flying rings, is the only notable loss from last year’s team. Modern, all-electric Medallion Home In Tampa, Florida YOUR NATION 40% of all the electricity in the world is used in the U. S., most of it supplied by hundreds of independent electric companies like yours. One of America’s wonders to foreign visitors is the wealth of electricity we put to work in our homes, on our farms, in our jobs. We use more light and power than the next six nations together-three times as much as the Russians—and we keep on using more all the time. On the average, you use twice as much as you did just ten years ago and pay less for it per kilowatt-hour. America’s independent electric companies have doubled their electric supply every ten years, and will double it again in the next ten. Because the companies will put up the money for this growth, you won’t be taxed to pay for it. Nevertheless, some people still urge the fed eral government to build whole power systems that all Americans would be taxed to pay for. That’s completely unnecessary-the independent electric companies are ready and able to supply all the low price power people can ever need! Keep these facts in mind the next time you hear someone talking about the “advantages” of federal government electricity. WEST PENN POWER owned by people, not by government The biggest threats to the Lions should be Captain Lou Dalilio, all-around star lean Bob Smith, Ben Scotkins, Rogers Weiner and Bob Mueller. All five had scores over 250 in the season opener. Datilio was high man with a 272 in tumbling. Dave Perilstein, fourth in the Easterns in tumb ling last year, didn't compete against Southern Connecticut but will be ready tor the Lions. Stale’s Tommy Seward took a first in tumbling at Springfield with a 270 score. Weifs took scoring honors for the L ons with his winning 276 score on the high bar. A duel may develop on the fly ing rings between Jerry Schaefer and the Owl’s Weiner, At Spring field. Schaefer’s score for a high ly praised routine was just five points better than Weiner scored against Southern Connecticut. Only the rope climbers appear to have an easy day ahead. All the Owl climbers went above 4.6 seconds in their opener, while all three of State’s men bettered that mark.
