Senior Tom Seward, the Lions’ outstanding all-around competitor, set the pace with a quota of three first places— in free exercise, on the parallel bars and on the high bar. “Tom did a fabulous routine on the parallel bars,’’ Wett stone said yesterday. “He’s settling down and perfecting a standard routine.. When he exe cutes this in any of the events, he’s tough to beat.” the squad-as a whole, Wettstone explained that minor corrections have to be made “here and there” in order to prepare for Temple, State’s opponent Satur day in Rec Hall. The Nittanies’ only other first •place was recorded by A 1 Porter on the side horse. Porter, a junior, recorded, an 87 score. Seward’s best score was 95.5, on the parallel bars; he also recorded a 95 in free exercise and 94 on the horizontal bar. On the horizontal bar, the G rfien of Mt. Nittany looked omnip otent. A second by sophomore Mike Jacobson and a third by sophomore Jim Culhane, com bined with Seward’s No. 1 finish, prompted Wettstone to call it “our most fantastic event.” Judges evaluating State’s long horse .vaults apparently weren’t impressed. and awarded the winners only a -fourth (F.

Bud Williams, State’s special ist on the still rings, finished sec ond behind Springfield’s Bruce Wright. Wettstone explained that “Bud was laboring too much with his routine and will attempt a dif ferent one against Temple." “This was Springfield’s best showing all year," the veteran gymnastics boss said. “Seward certainly saved the day for us.” Coach Frank Wolcott’s Indians now own a 1-4 record, with losses to Navy, Temple,'Army and State. “It could have been a different story if we would’ve had some good men on the parellel bars and THE DAIL' „ ' q• • ,•• ★ ★ ★ -llegianT University park, Pennsylvania HELPS SCALP INDIANS: Slate's Bud Wil- Harlacher leaves a blurred impression while liams, left, holds a difficult position on the performing a fast movement in a free exercise . still rings during his performance in the Spring- routine.
