Gymnasts Hit Peak
As Easterns Near
With the Eastern just ten days away and a tough dual
meet with Syracuse coming up this Saturday, Penn State's
gymnasts finally seem to be hitting their peak.
The Lions, inconsistent throughout most of the campaign,
broke loose against Pitt Saturday with their top scoring show
of the year and buried the Panth-, .
,
ers. 59 1 / 2 -36 1 / 2 .
Six of coach Gene Wettstone's
regulars set personal highs for the
season as the Lions won their •
fourth meet against one defeat.
Junior Greg• Weiss paced the
Nittany assault with firsts on
the tide horse and parallel bars.
His 284 was good enough to win
the p-bars competition, and his
winning 288 on the side horse is
the highest score recorded in Rec
Hall this year.
• Tommy Seward, State's other
big pointmaker, edged Weiss on
the horizontal bar, 279-263.
The stocky sophomore's 270 was t ,
his best effort on the high bar, I
but Weiss scored a team-high 2781
against Springfield in the Lions'
first meet.
Improving Keith Hagenbuch
also recorded a personal high on
the horizontal bar - with a 245.
He previously scored 200 and
218.
Kenny Morrow, Wettstone's
third man on the parallel bars,
tallied a career high 251 for third'
place in the Pitt meet.
The smooth-working junior has ,
been one of the steadiest perform- :
ers for the Lions all year. His
lowest score was a 215 against
Springfield.
Jack Donahue and Larry Yohn,
second and third ringmen, both
hit their season highs on Satur
day.

Phi Gam Wins

events they were trailing by one
point, 18-17, going into the relay.

Ken Ralphs and Fred Waelchli
gave Delta Phi a 1:04.2 win in the
relay to clinch the meet.
Ralphs also took the breast
stroke, beating his closest oppon
ent by 15 yards.

Hall, 2049, in the final meet -of

one event up to the relay but
strong second place showings still
left it in contention.

Philadelphia Phillies
By GENE MAUCH
CLEARWATER, Fla. (IP) I'm
not usually in the habit of going
out on a limb. But I will predict
one thing right here and now:
The Phillies will win more games
than the 59 they won last season.
One of the things going for us
will be added "experience, my own'
and the team's. Last year, I did
not take over the club until the
first week of the season, so I
missed valuable time getting to
know the strength and weak
inesses of the players. Now, I've
got the entire spring, training
,period to look forward to and will
'try to have all positions reason
, ably set by the time the season
opens.
We had about 10 first-year
players in 1960. They included
Pancho Herrera, Jim Coker.
Chris Short, Art Mahaffey, Dal
las Green and Tony Gonzalez.
With that one season under
their belts, I'm looking for them
and the others to show marked
improvement.
In the cases of Herrera and Ma
haffey there is not too much
room for improvement. Pancho
was one of the outstanding rookies
in the National League and gave
us the long ball. Mahaffey won
seven games and lost only three
after coming up from the Inter
national League in August.
One of our major troubles last
season was losing so many close
games. There's nothing so frus
trating as being beaten by a 1-0
or 2-1 score.
We've got sonie fast young
men like Johnny Callison. Gon
zales and Bobby Gene Smith in
the outfield and Tony Taylor
and Ruben Amaro in the infield
and I'm going to put this speed
to good use.
We got big Frank Sullivan from
Boston to help our pitching staff
and I believe that he will. Robin
Roberts lost some tough ball
games last year and with some
solid batting support he could
come back to have one of his bet
, ter years.

Texans Top Small College Poll
By THE ASSOCIA'ILD PRESS
Prairie View pushed further
ahead of NIT hopeful Tennessee
State this week as leader of the
Associated Press' small college
basketball poll.
The Texas team received seven
of the 10 first place votes from a
special panel of sports writers and
broadcasters for a total of 93
points.
That was 29 points ahead of
Tennessee State, which led the
poll for several weeks midway in
the campaign. The Nashville,
Tenn., team, small college cham
pion three straight years before
Illustrated below is the membership pin of a brand-new national
fraternity called Signa Phi Nothing. To join Signa Phi Nothing
and get this hideous membership pin absolutely free, simply
take a pair of scissors and cut out the illustration and paste it
to your dickey.
Let me hasten to state that I do not recommend your joining
Signs Phi Nothing. The only thing I recommend in this column
is Marlboro cigarettes, as any honest man would who likes a
filtered cigarette with an unfiltered taste, who yearns to settle
back and enjoy a full-flavored smoke, whose heart is quickened
by a choice of soft pack or flip-top box and who gets paid every
week for writing this column.
It is difficult to think of any reason why you should joie.
Signa Phi Nothing. Some people, of course, are joiners by
nature; if you arc one such I must tell you there arc any number
of better organizations than Signs Phi Nothing for you to join
the Mafia, for example.
But if you should join Signs Phi Nothing, let me give you
several warnings. First off, it is the only fraternity that admits
girls. Second, there is no pledge period; each new member im
mediately goes active. Perhaps "inactive" is a more accurate
term; there are no meetings, no drives, no campaigns, no sports,
no• games, no dues, no grip, and no house.
The only thing Signs Phi Nothing has that other fraternities
have is a fraternity hymn. In fact, two hymns were submitted
to a recent meeting of the nathmal board of directors (none of
whom attended). The first hymn goes:
liotcha , boup-boop-a-doop,
Mother's making bitt&ber soup.
The second hymn is considers* burr:
A Guernsey's a cow,
A road is a lane,
When you're eating chow, • '
Remember the mein!
Pending the next meeting of the national board of directors,
which will never be held, members are authorized to sing either
hymn. Or, for that matter, Stordsulf.
Perhaps you are asking why there should be such a fraternity
as Signs Phi Nothing, I will give you an answer—an answer
with which you cannot possibly disagree: Signs Phi Nothing
fills a teell-nredril gap.
Are you suffering from mental health? Is logic distorting
your thinking? Is ambition encroaching on your native sloth?
Are your long-cherished misapprehensions retreating before a
sea of facts? In short, has education e r anght up with you?
If so, congratulations. But tell the truth—wouldn't you like
to make an occasional visit back to the good old days when you
were not so wise and composed and industrious—when you
were, in fact, nuttier than a fruitcake?
If you pine for those old familiar miasms, those dear, dead
vapors, join Sign, Phi Nothing and renew, for a . fleeting
moment, your acquaintance , with futility. We promise nothing,
and, by George, we deliver it!
We, the makers of Marlboro, promise smoking pleasure and
we think you'll think we deliver it—both from Marlboro and
from our new unfiltered king-size Philip Minis Commander.
Welcome aboard:
losing out last season, got only
one first place vote and 67 points.
A week ago, Prairie View held
only a slim four-point edge over
its Dixie rival 72 to 68. Points
are based on 10 for a first place
vote, nine for second, etc.
Prairie View has lost only one
game in 23 starts. Tennessee State
has a 22-4 mark.
