shot, - but Hoffman put the Lions
into a 78-77 lead on two foul con
versions. Tom Johnson hit a
jumper from the corner to regain

Gymnastics Season
Appears Promising
Three things perennially common to Penn State gymnas
tics are (1) a strong squad of performers consistently ranked
among the•nation's best, (2) an educated, partisan and enthusi
astic audience and (3) Gene Wettstone, the Lions' excellent
coach. - •
This season a nucleus of seven lettermen return to give
Wettstone another highly-ranked
team. And again State's gym
nasts proMise to give a favorable
account of themselves in six
scheduled dual-meets and the
EIGL and NCAA Gymnastics
Tournaments.
Among the returning monogram
winners are seniors Bud Williams,
Tom Seward, ,Gene Harlacher and
Bill Schlegel, Ray Cherry, John
Bruning and F. P. Sforza, all jun
iors, are the other lettermen re
turning to perform before the
enthusiaftic Rec Hall crowds.
ONLY THREE regulars are
missing from last year's contin
gent which netted up a -respect
able 5-1 record, but those three
leave a large gap to be 'filled be
fore the Nittanies' opener at
Springfield on Jan. 19.
Among those graduated vet
erans is the incomparable Greg
Weiss, twice Easterns, All-around
champion and once NCAA All
around crown winner.
Weiss was long a favorite per
former of State followers. Last
year the versatile star executed
a near-perfect routine on the
parallel bars which earned. him a
school record-breaking score of
296 points and thrilled an esti
mated 6,200 fans in Rec Hall to
no end. - -
Also graduated from last year's
squad were Lew Capetola, a long
horse vaulter,
,and Larry Yohn, a
standout on the still rings. Yohn

is presently doing graduate work
at the University.
BUT WETTSTONE and his
gymnastics proteges are well
aware that meets aren't won on
past reputations and perform
ances. For years, the Nittanies
have rated as one of the top five
teams in the nation. This year
promises to be no exception.
Besides Springfield, State will
compete against Temple, Navy,
Syracuse, Pitt and a strong Army
squad. Last year the Cadets
handed the Lions their only, set
back in six - starts and shoved
them out of the'running for East
ern honors.
In the EIGL Tournament last
year, State's delegates finished in
a runner-up spot for the second
consecutive season. In, . the 1962
NCAA's, held at .Albuquerque,
N.M., the Lions dropped to a dis
appointing ninth place ranking
following a 1961 season as na
tional title holders.
WHEN
WHEN THE Nittanies failed to
recapture the NCAA crown, it
marked the first time "a State en
try hadn't won the champion
ship since 1958.
Wettstone feels confident that
the 1963 season could prove to be
a most pleasant one.
"Our outlook is very promising
wtih a number of veterans and
plenty of reserves to battle for
positions in the lineup," Wett
stone said recently. "This should
also ease the situation when in
juries crop up."
Kennedy's Word
said in New York that it was
agreeable to them.
The President called for arbitra
tion last month, and appointed
Gen. Douglas MacArthur as ref
eree, when the battle over admini
stration of amateur sports flared
again after disagreement over
terms of a coalition plan worked
out in New York in November.
He urged both sides to submit
to binding arbritration before U.S.
sports prestige was wrecked by a
squabble that was affecting eligi
bility of -U.S. athletes for the
Olympics.
