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

"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.

Story from Life
~ -:a c±:
When does a man make the most important
decision of his business career? When G. M.
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.

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.
