Gymnasts Host Pitt
In Final Home Meet
The Penn State gym team, fresh from last week's win
over defending eastern champion Army, plays host to the
winless Pitt Panthers in Rec Hall tonight at 8.
The meet marks the last home appearance of the year for
Coach Gene Wettstone's forces. * * *
The Panthers, 0-3 so far this
season, has a veteran team that
could give the Lions trouble if
they hit their routines. Pitt has
lost to Navy, Army and Syra
cuse.

the Panthers all year but I :
they will be at top strength to-1,
night.
Last year Syracuse handed Pitt t .
its third loss but Earl McConnell,
a top tumbler and consistent per- E•.
former on the side horse, did not
compete.
McConnell, one of the , best p.
tumblers in the East when he is
healthy, has recovered complete

out of last week's meet.
Joe Battaglia, Ron Daugherty,
Jack Lehner and Ed Zaminick
team with McConnell to handle .
the bulk of the scoring.
Battaglia is a tumbler, rope r, s

Lion captain Bob Mumau will
be making his final appearance
before the home crowd. The

seconds against Army last week,
is favored to take the rope
climb.
Mumau; rope-climber Bruce
Fosnocht and ringman Jack Dina

team.
Penn State's lineup will be the

Army Set for Trackmen
Penn State's indoor track
squad, which won its - first dual
meet since 1947 at Navy last
week, will try and make it
two in a row against Army at
West Point, N.Y., today.
Coach Chick Werner's thin
clads surprised the Middies with
a strong corps of distance run
ners and some unexpected per
formances by unheralded sopho
mores.
But Army is aware of State's
potential and won't be caught
sleeping. Besides, the Cadets
have four meets under their
belts compared to one for
State, and the added competi
tion may be a factor in the final
outcome.
