• Call it what you may—breaks, skill or downright luck—but an estimated 6,200 fans that
jammed every nook and cranny in Rec Hall Saturday must admit they got their money's
worth.
- The Nittany Lions won a thrilling 49-47 decision over the Army gymnasts (6-2) in a
suspenseful hourzand-a-half drama to retain an unblemished record for four meets.
Now the stage is set for Act Two when State goes - to Syracuse Saturday to climax its
battle for the Eastern Interco
yet to be defeated in five meets.
It. wasn't until the judges
flashed scores for Army's Mike
Gary (still rings), the final per
former of the evening, that any
one knew the victor of Saturday's
meet. _
Coach Gene Wettstone's per
formers pulled ahead by 28-20 at
the- intermission- and it looked as
if the contest might turn out to
be a runaway. But it looked that
way only temporarily.
ARMY CAPTURED first, sec
ond and third places in long horse
vaulting to win the event, 13-3,
and surge ahead by a 33-31 . score.
In the next event (parallel
bars), Nittany_captain Torn Sew
ard (96.5) and- sophomore Mike
Jacobson ,(95.0) both performed
brief but almost: perfectly exe
cuted routines to gain the top two
places, 10 points and the lead,
41-39.
Then came the final event, the
still rings. Army's third man,
Dave Kirkpatrick, scored an 87.0;
teammate Ken Slutzky got an
88.5. For the Lions, F. P. Sforza .
scored an 84.5 and sophomore Bill
Jenkins, an 87.5.
State rings - specialist Bud Wil
liams did an excellent routine of
strength and hold positions but
the officials awarded him Only a
94.0. On Gray, the final perform
er, hinged the Cadets' chances.

legiate Gymnastics League championship. The Orange have
sive, but apparently the pressure
was too much and judges gave
him a 93.0.
HAD GRAY WON first place on
the still rings, Army would have
won, 49-47; if State's Jenkins
didn't hold a .5 edge over Kirk
patrick the meet would have been,
a tie at 48-all.
Looking best for the Lions were
Williams, Seward, Al Porter,
Jacobson and Jim Culhane, who
had all-important foUrth and fifth
places.
Seward, besides his brilliant
performance on the parallel bars,
finished first in free exercise
(94.0) and third on the horizontal
bar (87.0). Jacobson, competing in
free exercise and as an all-around
for the first time, ended up third
in free exercise (88.0), second on
the parallel bars, and first on the
horizontal bar (93.0) with an ex
cellent performance.
Porter, a junior and non-letter
man last year, probably rates as
the hero of the meet, Competing
last on the side horse, he .came
through with a 93.5 'first place
finish in the best showing ever.
.THE MOST disappointing event
for-the Nittany gymnasts was long
horse vaulting where veteran Ca
dets finished one-two-three._
In an afternoon freshman meet,
State defeated the Plebes; 58-38.

Trackmen Lose 2nd;
Deardorff Sets Mark
Even though the Penn State track team was soundly
defeated by the Naval Academy, 77-32, Saturday, coach John
Lucas-seemed optimistic.
"After you're bombed the way we were at Annapolis, you
have to look on the bright side of things," Lucas said yesterday.
It seemed that the only bright
spot of the long afternoon was the
running of Howie Deardorff. Run
ning the mile, the outstanding
senior set a Naval Academy Field
House record running the distance
in 4:10. In addition Deardorff took
a first in the two-mile run fin
ishing almost 12 seconds ahead of
the second place finisher. The
winning time was 9:26.8.
