PAGE SIX Matmen 'Squeak' Over Rutgers, 20-9 By DEAN BttUCK Assistant Sports Editor There is a theory called the “Law of Averages” which states that the good eventually balances the bad and that Lady Luck, who sometimes seems to turn her face, will eventually smile. This Law of Averages, which had eluded Penn State's wres tling team in losses to Prtt and Lehigh and a tie ’to Syracuse, finally caught up with the Lions and helped them to a 20-9 victory over a strong Rutgers team Sat urday night in New Brunswick, NJ. SOMETIMES A SCORE doesn’t begin to indicate the real story of an athletic event and that cer tainly was the case Saturday. The Lions, who ended the season with a 6-3-1 mark, rode to victory on the strength of two one-point decisions at 123 and 130 and a last second victory at 147. These wins broke the back of any Rutgers hopes for a win and gave State too great a lead for the Scarlet to overcome in the heavier weights. “I knew if we were to win, we’d have to come out on top at 123 and 130,” Dick Voliva, Rutgers’ disappointed coach said after the match. ■ At 123 State's Denny 1 Slattery won his first of the season when he scored a two-point takedown with 31 seconds remaining and Weiss 'States Best By JOHN MORRIS 1 Assistant Sports Editor j Penn State gymnastics coach Gene Wettstqne isn’t a man to throw praise around loosely.: The tall, slim mentor has seen too many outstanding gymnasts to exaggerate the abili ties of any one of them. j In his' 23 years of coaching at State, Wettstone has pro duced 19 individual NCAA 49 individual Eastern champs and five Olympians. A Penn State gymnast has won the Eastern All-Around title for ten years in succession. But of all the stars Wettstone has coached to greatness, he has accorded Greg Weiss the highest praise: “He is the best;’’ ALL WEISS DID to earn this lofty praise was turn in the great est one-man show in the history of Eastern Intercollegiate Gym nastics League competition. The stone-faced captain com pletely dominat ed the EIGL ; dividual pionships at W< Point. N.Y., F' day and Sat; day, winning third straigl Eastern A Around a • sweeping th; of the individi titles. “His perform anco in the East- erns proves that Cru w»i*» he is Penn State’s greatest gym nast ever," Wettstone enthused. In addition to his All-Around title and three firsts—on the side horse, still rings and parallel bars -—he finished second on the hori zontal bar and fourth in the floor exercise. His 194.5 on the p-bars ■was the highest individual score in the tournament WETTSTONE ALSO praised the showings of Tom Seward, F. P. Sforza and Bud Williams. - Seward finished second to Weiss in the All-Around compe tition, second to Pitt’s Earl Mc- Connell in the free exercise, third on the horizontal bar. fourth on the side horse arid eighth on the still, rings. Williams, a converted rope climber, was second to Weiss on the still rings. The Lion junior totaled 176.5 points in : his first year of rings competition. Sforza also turned in his best performance of the year, finishing third to Ron Otlick and Corky Voas of Syracuse in the long horse vault. . Pave Hedbrun and Gene Har lacher also placed for the Nit- then hung onto Don Pike to win 7-6. Pike, who wrestled with a broken nose, almost reversed with eight seconds to go, but Slattery rolled with the attempt and held on to win. After the standing: room only crowd of better than 2,000 had quieted down. Bob Haney and Rutgers’ Dick janish hooked up in a thriller that was even closer. HANEY SCORED : an escape with 1:28 to go, but Janish re J Earns Ever tanies, Heilbrun was eighth in the long horse vault and Har lacher finished eighth in the free exercise. FLOOR EXERCISE: I.

St. Joseph’s (Fa.) can produce a similar deadlock in the Mid- Atlantic by beating Lafayette to night The. result would be an 8-1 league mark, the same as Temple’s," and another playoff. Thie NCAA would* grab the win , ner, the NIT the, loser. COLORADO STATE University wound up third in the Skyline. Winner Utah had to pass a tournament bid; because it is in the bad graces of the NCAA. Runner-up Utah State got the NCAA nod, with Colorado' State tapped by the NIT.
