Weiss Faces Stiff Battle
For All-Around Crown
Gene Wettstone, now in his 22hd year as Penn State gym
coach, has tutored six team champions and 17 individual
titlists in NCAA tourneys,
Last year it was Jay Werner who won the national all
around crown as the Nittanies copped their second consecu-
tive team titre.
The Lions and Wettstone are
relying on junior Greg Weiss
to come up with a victory in
this year's tourney.

Rocky Montpetit won the Big
10 championship with a 550.5
total.
The Michigan star averaged
91.5 points per routine to beat
defending champ Ray Hadley
by 14.75.
The bespectacled Illinois star
averaged 89.6 per event to take
second place with 535.75 markers.
Hadley finished fourth behind
Werner, California's Art Shurlock
and Weiss in last year's meet in
Rec Hall.
Shurlock might have been the
favorite this year, but his eligibil-,
ity ran out last month.
Southern Illinois sophomore
Fred Orlofsky is now the fa
vorite, according to Wettstone.
"Orlofsky should be favored,"
Wettstone said, "but Greg will'
give him a real battle.
"Greg has a good chance. It's)

The bookies regard some Amer
ican League clubs as such dark
horses they refuse to quote odds—
unless the clubs are grouped as
an entry.
Opening line odds on the Yanks,
perennial American League pow
er, ranged from 2-3 to 3-2.
Two bookmakers carrying lines
on the pennant chases favored the
Pirates 2-1. The other two had the
Braves 2 1 / 2 -1.
Following the Yankees in a
consensus were the Chicago
White Sox, 5-1; Baltimore Ori
oles, 6-1, and the Cleveland In-'
dians, 84.
The Detroit Tigers and Minne
sota Twins, with the Twins mak

routines," he continued..
Orlofsky was a member of
Uncle Sam's 1960 Olympic gym
team and was part of the team
that faced the Russiaz.s in a
dual' meet in frac Hall in Jan
uary.
Orlofsky was the highest scor
er for the U.S. against the Rus
sians.
Weiss, Orlofsky, Montpetit and
Hadley will have plenty of com
petition.
Springfield's Jeff Cardinali,
fifth in the all-around last year,
has been bothered by a bad
back all season and probably
won't compete and Southern
California's Sam Garcia has
dropped out of school.
But Sohn Daniels of Michigan
State and Southern Cal's Bob
Lynn and Attila Takash will be
in the running for the title.
"There is a very good field en
tered this year. Greg will really
have to fight for this one," Wett
stone said.
