THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1961 Gymnasts Still Have Shot at EIGL Tie About this time last year Penn State's gym team had a 3-1 record and Coach Gene Wettstone was looking forward to the eastern and national tournaments. After an early season loss to Army, the Lions bounced back to win four individual titles .in the eastern tourney and then went on to win the Nationals by a landslide score. This year's squad also boasts a 3-1 log. but according to Wert stone that's where the similarity ends. The Lions defeated Army last week, 52 1 / 4 -43%, to open the way for a possible tie for eastern honors. Nary topped the Lions, 58 1 / 2 - 37 1 / 2' earlier in the season, but the Middies sr must face Arm, at West Point. Penn St a could slip in a three-way with the t\ service ac demies if the C, dets come out top in the int( service clash. But Wettstont isn't anxious to back into a tie Wetistone for the championship. "We would like to see Navy take it," he said. 'They beat us and they deserve to win it, "Navy beat us because of their depth and our lack of a good all-around team," the veteran coach said, The Lions have a sophomore heavy lineup and must rely on Greg Weiss and Tommy Seward to provide the scoring power. "Last season we had three all around men in Weiss, 'Jay Werner Basketball Scores Ft !Atli , . 135 Philadelphia 9S College Navy 66 Georgetown 57 Dayton 10 Duquesne 67 Pitt 60 Fordham Steultenville 90 Central State 81 Westminster 84 St_ Vincent 67 Clarkson 75 RPI 63 Albright 71 Franklin & Marshall Morehead 78 Marshall 74 Loyola IMd.l 90 Johns Hopkins 46 Florida Southern 104 Jacksonville SA Brandeis 96 Tufts R 9 Wilkes 12 Lycoming 10 Air Force 77 Colorado College 72 Western Michigan 65 Toledo 61 Brown G 7 Yale 61 Harvard 85 Dartmouth 76 North Carolina 62 North Carolina State 66 Miami I Fla.l 91 Stetson St Youngstown 82 Baldwin-Wallace it Detroit 62 Canisius 68 Lasalle SI Syracuse 76 IFTS TODAY Whether you velect a teaspoon, a serving piece, or a place ing, you can be sure of the utmost in fine lity—a reflection of your own good taste A.

"That's our problem now no depth," he continued. "If we lose one boy on an apparatus, we don't have anyone to take his place." The Lions will need top per formances from the front-liners if they hope to make a strong showing in the national tourney next month. "The regular season isn't over yet," Wettstone warned. "We still must get past Pitt and Syracuse and it is going to take a team effort." Wettstone has switched Seward from tumbling to the side horse for the remaining two meets in an effort to strengthen the team in one of the all-around events. Seward won the tumbling in last week's win over Army. The Lions host Pitt Saturday in their last home appearance of the year. They wind up the reg ular season at Syracuse the fol lowing week. B.

Oldham graduated from college in 1927 he could not have foreseen that his joining a Pennsylvania public utility would be that "most important decision." No crystal ball could have told him that his decision then would lead to his present position as super intendent of the world's first full-scale atomic power station devoted exclusively to civilian needs. But he did know that joining the progressive electric industry in Pennsylvania could mean a bright and rewarding career. One Man's Career with a Pennsylvania Electric Utility Shippingport Atomic Power Station first- produced power on December 18, 1957. The date was a mile stone for the atomic enefgy program, the electric industry . . . and for G. M. Oldham who, through his work' in an electric utility, has become one of the leading authorities in the nation on the nuclear reactor. Air Tragedy Wrecks U.S. Skating Hopes NEW YORK (iP) —The tragic plane crash in Brussels early yes terday wiped out the cream of America's figure-skating talent and virtually destroyed U.S. hopes of continuing its victories in the Olympic Games. "This is a terrible blow," said Carl W. Gram Jr., secretary of the U.S. Figure Skating Associa tion. "These were the finest skat ers in the country the best three in every division. "They represented years of hard work and practice. Now we will have to start from the beginning —with our juniors and kids. It's a long road back." Among the casaulties in the plane crash were Laurence and Maribel Owen, and their mother and coach. former national cham pion Maribel Vinson Owen, of Winchester, Mass. Laurence, 16, won the U.S. sen ior women's crown at Colorado Springs, and the North American title at Philadelphia in recent weeks. She thus inherited the skates of Carol Heiss, now a housewife and professional, as America's hope of the 1964 Olym pics. Maribel Owen, 20, a senior at Boston University, won the U.S. pairs title with Dudley Richards, 28-year-old Boston bachelor, Pender to Meet Basilio Fo BOSTON (R) Paul Pender of Brookline yesterday agreed to defend his share of the middle weight boxing championship against former ..7hamp Carmen.
