SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 1961 Gymnasts Rate Underdog Role In Meet With Unbeaten Cadets By JOHN MORRIS Penn State’s gym team, a perennial eastern power, goes into this afternoon’s meet with Army in the unfamiliar role of an underdog. The Rec Hall match between defending Eastern champion Army and State’s reigning national champs starts at 2. The meet will be televised over Eidophor in Schwab auditorium, > Army comes into the match with a 17-meet winning streak, including this year's perfect 4-0 record. The Cadets haven’t been beaten since the Lions won, 53V2-42%, two years ago. Army copped last year’s meet at West Point, 54%- 41%. The Lions started off the sea son with wins over Springfield and Temple before losing, 58 %- 37 to Navy last week. But the Lions have been hitting their routines well in practice all week and coach Gene Wettstone. says his team is ready. Army's Tom Maloney, coach of the U.S. Olympic team, isn’t as confident. The Cadets will go into the meet without the services of team captain Jon Aaronsohn. Aaronsohn, two-time Eastern Champion in ' the flying rings, broke his arm in a pre-season practice and it hasn’t healed yet. Will Worthington, Army’s sec ond ringman, injured his shoulder at Syracuse and is a doubtful starter this afternoon. However, the Cadets have plenty of stars returning from last year’s team. "When they lost Aaronsohn, Trackmen Fac Penn State’s hopes for a track victory over Navy to day at Annapolis rest on the question of how well the Lions do in the field events. Hampered by lack of a field house, State is never too strong in the field events during the in door season. Last year the Lions walloped Navy in the .running events but placed only two out of a possible 20 men in the field events and came home with a6l Mi-45 I ,h de feat. Although the Middies (1-0) beat Pitt, 71-38, last month, their per formances in the high jump and pole vault weren't invincible by any means and if Dick Campbell and Dale Peters perform up to par the Lions may come up with a few firsts. Campbell is a 6-6 high jumper and Peters a 13-foot pole vaulter. Navy’s Lew Hilder, one of the classiest high jumpers in the East, graduated last June and the best the Middies could do against Pitt; was a 6-2 by Dave Thaxton. j Navy’s Ed Rector hit 13 feet for second place in the pole vault and Rich Nutt was third with a WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT FRANK’S HOAGIES?

"They have enough depth so that it won’t hurt them too much." Army has 11 returning letter men, and Wetlstone thinks that team strength may make the dif ference. "Their depth is our main con cern.” he said. “They are very good in some events, but have experienced men in almost all of them.” The Cadets boast three good tumblers in Bill Chandler, Tom Griffith and Bob Dickinson, but Wettstone is hoping’that Tom my Seward regains his old form to give the Lions a victory. Seward managed only a third Navy Today 12-6 effort. Peters has cleared 13 plus several times. The Middies are almost cer tain to lake all three places in the shot put and have some bet ter than average broad jumpers in Scot Thorell and Chuck Tozer. Bob Brown should give the Lions a first place in the 60-yard dash but Coach Chick Werner’s Imilers may find themselves in a | race to the finish with Navy’s ißernie Fleming. Jerry Norman and Herm Web er give State depth and strength in the mile and two-mile runs. Navy's best two-miler is Bob Dunkle. who ran a 9:55.3 against Pitt. Werner’s mile relay team will probably include Brown, Don Da vies, George Metzgar and Bob Grantham. His two-mile relay team will be picked from Mike Miller, Steve Moorhead, Howie Deardorff, Fred Larson and Dave LaHoff.

Worthington and Bill Deuel are candidates to take Aaronsohn’s place on the rings. Wetlstone said that the addi tion of returnee Jack Donahue and Aaronsohn's injury make the flying rings the Lions' strongest event. Donahue com peted for Stale in 1958. The rest of the Lion lineup will be the same as in the Navy meet. Tom Page and Dick Criley back up Seward in tumbling. Greg Weiss, George Sayre and Gene Harlacher will perform on the side horse. Weiss, Seward and Keith Hag enbuch give the Nittanies a strong horizontal bar team, and the two Lion stars team up with Ken Mor row on the p-bars. Gerry Schaefer, Larry Yohn and Donahue will compete on the rings. Team captain Bob Mumau leads Lion rope climbers Bruce Fosnocht and Chuck Hilbish. Army’s rope team, all with times under four seconds, consists of Dave Hastings, John Kammer diener and Dick Yule. Ralph Garens on the side horse, Larry Richards on the p-bars and Phil Costain on the high bar are other outstanding performers for the Cadets. * * * A dual-meet between Slippery Rock and the State frosh sched uled for today was postponed un til next week. The frosh will now meet Slippery Rock and the Pitt freshmen in a three-way meet. Williams Snares Phoenix Open Lead PHOENIX, Ariz.
