Lions, Cadets
In Key Battle
The Nittany Lions and Army Cadets wouldn't be under
more steam, heat and strain if they were locked inside a pres
sure cooker raging over a full flame on the kitchen stove.
And when the two gymnastics squads tangle at 8 p.m. in
Ree Hall today, something is bound to give way. An estimated
crowd of 6,000 is expected to attend..
State's gymnasts seek to continue unbeaten
revenge for the 54-42 whipping handed them
West Point. • Coach Gene Wett- * *
stone's products sport wins over
Springfield, Temple and Navy
MEANWHILE THE CADETS of
gym boss Tom Maloney, losers
only to a powerful Syracuse squad
(48 1 / 2 -47 1 ,0 in seven meets, are
determined not to lose. They last
year won the Eastern Intercol
legiate Gymnastics League cham
pionship; another loss this sea
son might •eliminate them from
this year's running.
According to Wettstone, reserve
strength will make the difference
in today's meet.
"Our third man will be the
thing," the veteran boss said yes
terday. "We'll have to get at least
fifth place and the point that
conies with it. Then we'll give
them zeroes (for sixth place)."
While a loss to Army would not
necessarily eliminate the Lion
performers from EIGL conten
tion, it might make things dismal
for next Saturday's battle against
the undefeated Orange of Syra
cuse.
HEADING THE LIST of State
strength wilL be captain Torn
Seward, all-around man on the
horizontal bar, parallel bars and
in free exercise, Sophomore Mike
Jacobson will also work three
events for the first time this year.
He'll beck up Seward in all three
events.
The third man in free exercise
and on the horizontal bar is sopho
more Jimmy Culhane. On the par
allel bars it'll be Gene Harlacher.
liarlecher, along with Al Porter
and Ray Cherry, also works on
the side horse, State's F. P. Sforza,
Pete Saponaro and Torn Burtnett
will vault the long horse.
Specialist Bud Williams will be
at his usual number one .spot in
the lineup for the still rings. He'll
be backed up by Bill Jenkins and
Sforza.
IN LAST WEEK'S meet against
Syracuse, the Army performers
compiled an average individual
score of 88.0; their two top per
formers in each event averaged
a 90.0.
Team captain Steve Best and
sophomore Ken Slutzky lead the
list of Army performers. Best
competes on the horizontal bar
and Slutzky on the still rings,

Seek First Win
Against Middies
By ED CARPENTER
Imagine entering a track
meet nine points behind. This
is - the problem confronting the
Penn State track team when
it tangles with Navy this
afternoon at Annapolis, Md.
The nine-point deficit will come
in the 35-pound- weight throw.
State has no one entered in the
event, allowing Navy to score a
sweep. To help compensate for
this, coach John Lucas intends
to concentrate on the 1,000 yd.,
mile and two-mile runs. In these
three events there are a possible
27 points, and Lucas hopes to get
20 of them.
IN ADDITION to the 35-pound
weight, the Lion mentor also
seemed concerned about the shot.
Lucas has a fine shot putter in
Tom Urbanik, who threw the
shot 51' 1 3 / 4 " in last week's meet
at Ohio State. However, in his
match against Manhattan last
week, Navy's Greg Berkowitz
threw the shot over 55' (Navy lost
the meet, 61-48. This evened their
log at 1-1, having defeated Wil
liam and Mary, 102-25, earlier in
the season).
A PROBLEM also has arisen in
the pole vault. Due to the cold
weather, two of the fiberglass
poles split. The only one remain
ing is a 170-pound pole. This
means that it will bend for only
a person weighing 170 pounds.
Anyone weighing over that will
break the pole; anyone under that
will prevent it from bending. Two
of State's top vaulters weight
less than 170.
The Lions' weakest event ap
pears to be the sprints. Lucas in
tends to use Don Gregg as his top
sprinter. The number two slot
is up for grabs among Jerry
Doldschim, Lou Fischman, Jack
LaDue, and captain Bob Gran
tham.
GRANTHAM may also compete
in the broad jump or the hurdles.
Against Ohio State the Lion cap
tain broad jumped 21'-7%". How
ever this isn't good enough to
match the 23'-21/4" that Middie
Jim Thorell jumped'against Man,
hattan.
In addition to Grantham, Lu
cas is counting on Howie Dear
dorff, Dick Lampman and Torn
Bedick to score most of the Nit
tanies' points.
"Although we'll be nine points
behind at the beginning, we still
could pull it out," Lucas said
earlier this week. "However,
we'll have to do better than we
did against Ohio State."
The t hinc lad frosh have
their lone meet of the season
when they face the Navy Plebes
in the Annapolis Fieldhouse.

Wrestlers Face VPI
In 'Warm Up' Match
Penn State's wrestling team goes after its fourth win of
the season this afternoon against the winless VPI Gobblers
at Blacksburg, Va.
The Lions enter today's meet after a two week break in
the schedule. State last mores'
Cornell, 21-10, The win gave the
Lions a 3-2 record for the season
THE GOBBLERS, coached by
Frank 'Teske, have been having
their troubles this season.
In addition to five losses, Teske
also has his three top wrestlers
out of the meet with injuries.
Gene Breen, Walt Hanula and
Ernie Venturino, a Southern-Con
ference Champion last_ year, are
sidelined for the remainder of
the year:
The Gobblers have lost to Navy,
West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio
State' and Purdue. They also own
a tie with Hiram.
Lion coach Charlie Speidel in
tends to use the match as a warm
up for next Saturday's big bout
against unbeaten Syracuse.
In fact, the Lion coach will use
two new faces in the starting
lineup.
Junior Tom Balent will be
wrestling his first varsity bout
when he meets Ellsworth Snyder
in a 123-pound bout. Balent will
take the place of Denny Slattery.
MARK PIVEN will be the oth
er new face in the lineup. The
junior from New York won the
position when he beat season
long regular Dave Thiel in a
wrestle-off earlier this week.
Piven will face Bob Robinson at
137 pounds.
Another change in the Lion
Jenks Paces De
Delta Phi's Jim Jenks and Phi
Delta Theta's Charlie Ydtz were
double victors last night who led
their respective teams to victories
in IM swimming action at Glenn
land Pool.
Jenks and Yartz both won the
free style and breaststroke events
as Delta Phi romped over Alpha
Tau Omega, 27 1 7, arid Phi Delta
Theta held off Tau Phi Delta,
22-19. Alpha Chi Rho forfeited to
Delta, Tau Delta.
TWO SEASONS ago, Jenks and
Sam Weir, Chi Phi's multi-record
holder, were members of a Ches
ter House quartet that established
a 120-yard relay record that still
stands. There is a good chance for
a head-to-head meeting later this
season between Jenks and Weir
if their teams keep winning, IM
directbr Dutch Sykes said last
night,
Jenks won the free slyle in 32.1

lineup wilt find Chuck Beatty
wrestling at 157 pounds. Art
Weiss, a winner in the Cornell
match, was scheduled to compete
but was scratched when he came
down with a cold. Beatty will
take a 0-4 record into his bout
against Charlie Callahan.
The other State starters will
be the .regulars that have seen ac
tion in the last three bouts.
UNDEFEATED Bob Haney at
130 pounds and captain George
Edwards at 147 pounds, both go
after their sixth straight win of
the year. Haney faces Carl Gellis
while Edwards is paired against
Don Ellerman.
Marty Strayer, a former Mid
dle Atlantic Conference Cham
pion at Wilkes and a transfer
student, will wrestle at 167 pounds
for State. He will meet Bob
Hatcher.
Sophomore Mike Gill faces
Craig Streett at 177 and Ed Pohl
and tangles with Dan Marks at
unlimited.
A win today would go a long
way toward giving Speidel an
other winning season. Bouts still
remain with Syracuse, vastly im
proved Pitt and rugged Rutgers.
Provided they win today the
Lions will only need one of the
remaining three for that winning
record.

and Ken Ralphs reezed through

Tau Phi Delta made a game
bid to catch the Phi Delts, but
they couldn't overcome the big
lift given the winners by Yartz.
Delta Phi's relayers were un
officially clocked in 1:02 in a
post-meet exhibition against Del
ta Tau- Delta. The Delts finished
just inches behind.
Harris Holds Record
Gene Harris holds the Penn
State record for most points in
a single game. The lanky Lion
scored 46 pbints against Holy
Cross in . 1961 to break Jesse Ar
nelle's mark of 44 set in 1955
against Bucknell.
