Seward,
Capture
State’s gymnastics squad convinced an estimated 6,000
partisan fans in Rec Hal] Saturday that it has.no intention of
playing second fiddle for Easterns honors in individual and
team competition.
Coach Gene Wettstone’s performers handed the highly
ranked Temple contingent its only defeat in five meets, 55-41.
Meanwhile the Nittany Lions remained unbeaten ,in two
outings,
Slate entries captured first in four of six events
Seward, free exercise (94.5) and
parallel bars (96.5); F. P. Sforza,
long horse (95.0), and Bud Wil
liams, still rings (96.5).
"SEWARD WAS outstanding
but Sforza’s win in the long horse
vault really sent us on our way,”
Weltstone remarked yesterday.
“It gave us a big lift when we
were a couple of points behind
(from 25-23, Temple’s favor, to
33-31, State’s favor).” -
The Lions kept their composure
throughout the meet and, after
intermission, surged ahead for
good with scores of 10-6 (long
horse), 11-5 (parallel bars), and
11-5 (still rings) in the final three
events.
“There were some close de
cisions that could’ve gone our
way,” explained a sober coach
Carl Patterson following the meet.

dividual prestige, Seward obvious
ly defeated Owl all-around com
petitor Mark Cohn, a sophomore,
who ended up first on the side
sorse, third on the horizontal bar
and sixth on the parallel bars.
“Cohn had a real bad day,” Pat
terson said, “He improvised his
routine on the side horse and still
got a good score (95.5). When he
learns to do this in all the events,
he’ll be okay.”

gym coach Chet Phillips, received
the only other first place dis
tinction for the Philadelphians.
Phillips performed a short but
well-executed routine on the hori
zontal bar for a 94.5 average,
score.

man, gave an impressive account
with his showing on the, long
horse. His first vault (swan from
the neck) with a difficulty of 100
garnered him scores of 95-99-95-
97 for an average of 96.0. On his
second vault, Sforza scored a 94.0,
giving him a 95.0 for the event.
Bud Williams captured his 96.5

State Cops 10th Victory
As Hoffman Sinks 25
The Penn State basketball team convinced more than
just the 4,500 fans who watched them beat Bucknell Saturday
night in Rec Hall that they are good enough for a post-season
tournament bid. They also made a firm believer out of losing
coach Gene Evans.
‘‘They definitely have the material to compete in the
NIT,” Evans said in the locker room after watching the Lions
claw his Bisons, 90-75. “They have a real good ball club. You
just can’t make mistakes against
them like we did tonight. They
bust out of their zone- on the
fast break real well.” --
In fact Evans admitted he was
happy with the score.
"THAT WAS a 30-35 point game
out there but coach Egli took it
easy on us,” Evans said. “They
were too big for us and besides
it’s hard to beat a team that shoots
that well.”
The Bucknell coach wasn’t
making any excuses, but it was
one of State’s better nights from
the field.' The Lions shot 44 per
cent in the first half in rolling to
their tenth victory in thirteen
starts starts and enhanced their
chances for a tourney bid.
Once again' it was co-captain
Earl Hoffman who led the scoring
parade. The, second-leading major
college scorer in the state hit for
25 points on a 57.9 shooting per
centage before being lifted with
Wac -S, ...
If not, better get it done fast!
We will supply you with the best
in formal wear. One person or
one million people—makes no
difference to us. You've gotta
look sharp on that big-night.
