Donahue's Showing
Boosts Gym Hopes
Penn State gymnasts won five events and tied for first
in the other in Saturday's 52 1/3 - 43 2/3 victory over Army,
but one of the brightest spots of the meet was the second place
finish by State's Jack Donahue on the flying rings.
Donahue, a consistent performer for the Lions in 1957
and 1958, scored a creditable 244
to finish second to Gerry Schaef
er in the Army meet.
It was the first competition for
the senior star since 1958 and the
Lions were happy with his show
ing.
Coach Gene Wettstone has been
looking for depth all year and the
addition of Dona
hue gives the
Lions one of the
best ring teams
in the East,
"Jack is a good
gymnast and
wi 1 I definitely
help the team,"
Wettstone said
last week.
An orphan,
Donahue has had
to work his way
through school Jack Donahue
since leaving Philadelphia's Gir
ard College, a school for homeless
children.
He worked during the day and
went to Newark College of Engi
neering night school for two years
while he was saving to come back
to Penn State.
Because of his night school
work Donahue was considered a
transfer student and wasn't eli
gible to compete for the Lions
last semester.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 15. 1961
By JOHN MORRIS
Donahue said, "I was through and
had no intentions of competing
this year.
"But I guess you get the hug
in you for gymnastics, and I think
I can help the team."
Donahue started working out
seriously in January and rounded
into shape quickly under Wett
stone's close supervision.
He thinks that this year's team
has a chance to repeat as national
champions and predicts an easy
win in the nationals for team
mate Schaefer.
"Gerry is a shoo-in for a gold
medal," Donahue said. "He has
both the determination and the
natural ability to be really great."
Donahue finished fourth in the
1958 easterns in his specialty, hut
doesn't plan to compete this year.
"I just wanted to help the
team," he said. "The easterns are
just for individual titles and I
don't think I can afford the time
away from my studies."
Donahue is planning on an en
gineering career and doubts if he
will compete after college, but he
won't swear to it.
"It's a hard thing to break
away from," he said. "There's a
real sense of accomplishment
when your mind says something
and your body does it."
