nastics competitor, executes split during free exercise routine
which earned him 95 points and one of his three first places

meet, their first outing this season, by a 54-42 margin. The loss
was the fourth for the Springfield Indians in five starts.

Lion G-Men Win Opener, 54-42
Seward Paces Victory
With 3 First Places
Penn State’s gymnastics squad got off and running Sat
urday towards another successful campaign with-a shaky but
decisive 54-42 victory over Springfield in the Indians' gym. .
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. P.
By JOE GRATA
Sforza) and a fifth (Pete Sapon
aro).
Three of the more pleasant per
formances by the Lion gymnasts
were accomplished by letterman
Bill Schlegel and sophomores
Culhane and Jacobson, a transfer
stuednt from Philadelphia. Bill
Jenkins, another sophomore,
looked outstanding when he fin
ished third on the still rings.
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
