PAGE SIX ittany Gymnasts, G-Men Prepare for Army; Cop Easy 62-34 Decision State's gymnasts torpedoed the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis Saturday with an easy 62-34 victory, but for the next two meets the Lions may find earning their bread and butter a little rougher. Coach Gene Wettstone's performers now sport a record of three wins and no losses. In the next two weeks, however, the gymnasts will take on their two toughest competitors—Army and Syracuse. Saturday Army and Syracuse fought tooth-and-nail in a battle of the unbeaten, but the * * * Cadets ended up on the short end of a 48 1 / 2 -47 1 / 2 score. WETTSTONE SAID last night that a comparison of Army' scores against Syracuse with Pen, State's, scores against the Mid. shipmen indicates that the tany gymnasts would have wol the hypothetical meet by on, point. "The only trouble is that the judging at both meets obvious]: was not the same," Wettstone ex. plained. "We were hot at Nay: think that the meet with Arm. (Saturday) will be decided b' breaks." In another gym meet over a weekend, Temple (victim of Stat last week) won its fifth batt against one defeat by downin, winless Pitt, 56-40. The Panthei are State's final competitor of th, dual-meet season. So the heat's on and Wettstom admits that what scares him moi are the high scores Army ant. Syracuse consistently record. The veteran Lion boss, in his 24th year at the helm, also noted that "our sophomores will have to come through in both of the meets." SATURDAY'S WIN over Navy was nothing more than a tuneup for the second half of the State schedule. Tom Seward captured firsts in the only two events he competed in—free exercise and the hori ontal bar. The senior captain scored a 94.5 average in free exer cise and a 95 on the horizontal bar to beat out NaNiy's top con tender, captain Ed Hutcheson, who placed third with a 86.5. , Junior Al Porter continued to be the Nittanies' best man on the side horse with an 94.5 and first spot finish. Sophomore Pete Sapo naro came through as a winner for the first time as a varsity performer with a 91, a point ahead of teammate P. P. Sforza. On the still rings, the winner was State's Bud Williams.

Competing in their first meet of the season, the Lions dropped a cliff-hanger to the Buckeyes, 71-70, at Columbus. The Nit tanies were leading, though, going into the final event, the mile re lay. Running the relay in 3:22.2, State finished just two-tenths of a second off the pace, losing the event and the match. Although no one realized it at the time, the meet was actually lost in- the 440-yard dash. Coach John Lucas had hopes that sopho more Zen Kwozko would take a first in the event." However, prior to . the event, the highly touted sophomore developed a severe muscle spasm in his up per left leg and was unable to compete. The best the Lions could do was finish third. "That was where we lost the meet," Lucas said yesterday. "Kwozko was favored .to win the event, and the fact that he couldn't compete cost us the meet." The Lion mentor called the meet "fantastic" and went on to say that the team performed like champions. The group of "champions" was headed by senior captain Bob Grantham, who competed in four events and scored in all of them. Grantham took firsts in the 70- yard "high_ hurdles, and broad jump while placing second and third in the • 60-yard dash and 70-yard low hurdles, respectively. Lucas also singled out "peer less" Howie Deardorff. The Lion senior captured firsts in both the mile and 880. In addition he ran the last leg of the losing mile relay foursome. In that quarter mile DeardoKff almost defeated the Buckeyes' Dave Paige, the Big 10 quarter-mile champion. : :• (Continued on page seven) S Delta Phi S Phi Sig Delta OPPONENT 1424 By ED CARPENTER Fence s Win —Coßoston photo by John Lott WHEW - - - THAT'S AWFUL CLOSE: Ken Vandenburgh, right, Penn State's number two foilman just misses a touch against Tom Ahern of Johns Hopkins in Saturday's' fencing meet at Rec Hall. Vandenburgh won this bout, 5-1, and went on to win another as State won its second straight, topping the Blue Jays, 17-10. Lion Swordsmen Outclass Hopkins For 2nd Victory The Penn State fencing team piled up an insurmountable 15-3 lead after two rounds of completion and went on to trounce Johns Hopkins, 17-10, at Rec Hall Saturday. After the first round, during which State won seven of the nine bouts, there was never any doubt that the Lions would walk off with their_second victory in as many starts. In order to strengthen his forces against State's powerful foil team, Hopkins coach Dick Oles switched his top epeeists, Chick Twyman and MAC epee champ Tom Ahern to the foil squad. He figured that the Blue Jays would have little trouble with the Lions' so-called "weak" epee team. But the Nit tany epeeists won six bouts, while Hopkins 'two transplanted foilmen could manage only a 2-4 record for the day. STATE COACH Dick Klima sin - lathed it up simply by saying, "They gambled and lost. If Ahern and Twyman had stayed in epee, it might have been closer. But our boys fenced real' well and that was the big difference." The Nittany swordsmen certain ly did fence well. No less thari six of State's' starters went unde feated. John Hansell, number three epeeist, led the parade by sweeping all three of his bouts, while five other swordsmen were 2-0. • The double winners were sabre'- men Chick Poole and Chuck Dooley, foilmen John Cooper and Ken Vanderburgh and "epeeist Fred Davis. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1963 By JOHN LOTT Hansell, a 6-1 sop h o m or e, gained decisions over Wade Horsey, 5-4, Tom McNamara, 5-3, and Fred Eustis, 5-3. POOLE AND DOOLEY, the number one and three sabremen, each allowed only one cut in a pair of bouts. After blanking Tom Koehler, 5-0, Poole, a 6-3 junior letterman, - stopped Dan Davidson, 5-1. Dooley whipped Davidson, 5-1, in his first bout, then whitewashed Sherm Teichtnan, 5-0, The pair of wins upped the six-foot sopho more's record to 5-0 for the two meets. Cooper, the Lions' top man in foil, won over Bill Greenberg, 5-3, and Twyinan,, 5-4. Number two man VandenbUrg scored ; s-1 wins over Ahern and Greenberg. Fencing in the second epee slot, Davis, another of State's fine sophomores, whipped McNamara, 5-1, and Eustis, 5-3. JOE BUBINAK, who subbed for both Cooper and Vanderburgh in the final round, looked impressive in both of his bouts. After drop ping a tough 5-4 decision to Ahern, he came back to defeat s Twyman, 5-4.
