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

'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

dividual

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.

tanies, Heilbrun was eighth in
the long horse vault and Har

ONE WILL GO to the loser of
the Cincinnati-Bradley playoff for
the Missouri Valley Conference
crown.
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. The Rams
were 18-8 on the season, and will
be ' making then: second appear
