What a difference a year makes! Last
year Penn State's gymnastics team paid a
visit to the United States Naval 'Anaderny
.--and the fired-up Middies skinned the Lions,
58 1 / 2 =37 1 / 2 . Saturday it was the Nittanies'
turn to be an ungra6ous host and Gene
Wettstone's defending national champions
--responded with a crushing 62 1 /2-33% vic
tory.
The "
win boosted State's - record to 3-0
and set the stage for the battle the Lions
face at West Point thii week against uncle
; feated, but once-tied, :Army.
ARMY-AND SYRACUSE appear to be
the Lions' main challengers fox-the Eastern ;
title. But from the way the Lions have lAen
steam-rolling so far, it will take a minor
miracle to slow them dcwn.
Actually, Navy wasi.'t expected to be
a serious threat to the Nittanies, but:
expected State to win by such a lop
aided score.
Captain Greg Weiss led the romp with
three first places—scoring 280 on the side
horse, 288 on theparallel bars and 280 on
the horizontal bar.
The grim -faced senior's wins on the
side horse and p-bars were his third of the
year in both events, but it was the first

Johns Hopkins, 15-12
Utilizing a pressing, rushing strategy to good advantage,
Penn State made an impressive return to fencing Saturday by
defeating Johns Hopkins, 15-12 at Baltimore, Md.
Larry Chamberlain, number three .sabre man, and Art
Fuller, the Lions' best in foil competition, paced State's tri
umph by winning three bouts apiece. Captain Bob Oliver, who
scored the decisive 14th point, Earl LaKier, Joe Bubinak and
Dave Lewis all wop two of their three bouts.
"We knew that if we didn't
blast them, we' couldn't beat
them." coach Dick Klima said. "I
was confident that this method of
putting constant pressure , on them
was the most effective we could
have used. Everything worked' out
just as we planned it,"
,he said.
Chamberlain, low Man on a
well-balanced sabre team, dis
posed o,f Bob Carroll, Tom Koeh
ler and Dan Davidson by scores
of 5-2, 5-2, and 5-4 ,respectively.

the epee competition, also by a
5-4 score.

outstanding performances byiSeward and
junior Gene Harlacher.
Seward won the. free exercise for the
third straight week and finished second to
Weiss on the p-bars and horizental bar. His
278 on the p-bars and 270 on the horizontal
bar would probably have been high enough
to win any meet that didn't a Greg
Weiss.
Harlacher's performance was without
a doubt his best all-around showing of the
year, but the best he could do-was a second
place on the side horse. _ •
The lanky junior had higher scores In
the free exercise (254) and parallel bars
(250), but his 246 on the side horse was sec
