The new system allows' a team to enter four men in, each event, with the top three, scores counting toward the team score. In addition, one , gymnast may perform in any number of events, enabling a team to utilize one top all-I around performer. As in the past, a contestant's! routine will be scored by four) judges, but under the FIG sys tem their scores will be based! on 10 instead of 100. The high! and low score will be dropped,l and the average of the middle two scores will count on the! team total. Top Three Scores Count The score for a team in a' single event is determined by, adding the scores of the top three men. This means that,' theoretically, a team could record a maximum score of 30 for one event (three times a perfect score of 10) and a max imum of 180 for a dual meet (six times a perfect score of 30.) Penn State's only meet so far. a 70-26 rout of West Vir ginia, would have been some what closer had it been scored under the FIG code of points. Basing the individual scores of 10 instead of 100, and adding each team's top three scores in the six events results in a new , final score: Penn State, 148.5, West Virginia, 122.4. ' A look at the scoring for a single event further illus- Jrates the new scoring setup. The Lions took the first three, 'places in the high bar event, against the Mounties, who picked up the last two scoring positions under the old system. The score for that event was Penn State, 13, West Virginia, 3 Transposing this score to the! FIG code, it would appear thiit r . .

State's Jim Culhane,' Ed Isabelle and Mike 'Jacobsod recorded scores of 89.5, 86.5 and 84.5 for a total of 260.5. The Mounties' three entrants' totaled 201.5. Basing the score's on 10, the Lions would have, won the event by the nar rower margin of 26-20 Another pro Vision of the, FIG rules concerns the time' period of free e::ercise rou tines. Under tne previous sys tem, a routine in this event had to be not less than 60 nor more than 90 seconds in dura tion. The new time limit is 50- 70 seconds. League coaches also agreed on a revision in the rules for long horse vauiting. In the past, a contestant performed two different jumps with his final score determined by the average score of the Iwo vaults. This year each vaulter will again make two jumps, but only his higher score will, count. Enumerating the advantages of the new system, Lion coach Gene Wettstone said, "This system is a more reliable method of measuring team strength over the former sys tem. Each performer's score is now more meaningful and contributes to the final team total. The efforts of the third man are as important as the first. "The final score not only in dicates who won the meet," he continued. "but also reveals the quality of both teams. One needs only to divide 18 into the final score to learn the av erage individual n e r f orm ance."

Willard Says Dempsey Used Loaded Gloves LOS ANGELES (AP)--Jess" Willard c I a i lu e d yesterday s that Tack Dempsey used loaded gloves in winning the world heavyweight title from him in 1919. "He cut me all to pieces and hammered my eyes closed— that's why they gave the title, to him," Willard, 82, said at his home in suburban La Crescenta. Willard was commenting on a copyrighted feature in Sports Illustrated magazine, , which published the memoirs of the late Jack (Doc) Kearns, Dempsey's manager, in its crrrent issue. The magazine said Dempsey denied Kearn's claim that he used plaster of pacis in band aging Dempsey's hands before the fight. In San Francisco, Dempsey first said, "Ridiculous, no fur ther comment." 'r h c t he added, "i'll 1e t my lawyer handle this." In an interview at his home, Willard said: "I've been try ing for almost 45 years to get the story printed but nobody would believe me. They thought it was just a loser complaining. I'm glad Kearns has finally admitted it." ssioner Calls For Federal Ring Controls WBA Comm Cary Audrey PATERSON, N.J.

State Cadge On Nave (Author of Rally Round :he Raft, Borg!" and "Banloot Boy With Che 4-.”) 1964: YEAR OF DECISION Well sir, here we go into 1964. which shows every sign of being quite s distinguished year. First off, it is the only year since 1954 which ends with the Figure 4. Of course, when it comes to Figure 4's. 1964, though distinguished, can hardly compare with 1444 which, most people agree, had not just one, not just two, but three Figure 4 - s! This, wager, is a record that will stand for st least a thousand years! 14-14 was, incidentally, notable for many other things. It was, for example, the year in which the New• York Giants played the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. As we all Intow, the New York Giants have since moved to San Fran ciieeo the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. There is a movement afoot at present to move Chicago to Phoenix— * city, not the baseball team. Phoenix, in turn, would of course move to Chicago. It is felt that the change would be broadening for residents of both citks. Many Chico go folks, for example, have never seen an iguana. Many Phoenix folks, on the other hand, have never seen a frostbite. Mould rat elp Nave - yo' lifo-tegoteci There are, of course, certain difficulties connected with a municipal shift of this size. For instance, to move Chicago you also have to move Lake Michigan. This, in itself, presents no great problem, what with modern scientific advances like electronics and the French cuff. But if you will look at your map, you will find Lake Michigan is attached to all the other Great Lakes, which in turn'are attached to the Sr. Lawrence Seaway, which in turn is attached to the Atlantic Ocean. You start dragging Lake Michigan to Phoenix and, willy-nilly, you'll be dragging all that other stuff too.' This would make our British allies terribly er&-..2., and I can't say as I blame them. Put yourself in their place. What if, for example, you were a British costermonger who had been saving and scrimping all year, for a summer holiday'at Brighton Beach, and then when you got to Brighton Beach there wasn't any ocean? There you'd be with your inner tube and snorkel and nothing to do alt day but dance the Lambeth Walk. This, you must agree, would not help make you NATO-minded! appml most earnestly to the residents of Chicago and Phoenix to reconsider. know it's no bowl of cherries going through life without ever seeing an igualia or a frostbite, but I ask you—Chicagoans, Phoenicians—is it too big a price to pay for preserving the unity of the free world? I feel sure that if you search your hearts, you will make the right decision,. for all of--us-whether we live in frostbitten Chicago, iguana-infested Phoenix, .or narrow-lapelled New Haven—arc first and foremast Americans! , But I digress. We were speaking of 1964; our new year. And new it : is! There is, for one thing, new pleasure in Marlboro Cigarettes. How, you ask; can there be new pleasure in Marlboros when that fine flavorful bleird,of tobaccos, that clean efficient Selectrate filter, have not been altered? The answer is simple: each timri you light a Marlboro, it is like the first time. The flavor is such that age cannot wither - nor custom stale. Marlboro never palls, never jades, never dwindles into 'dull routine. Each puff, each cigarette, each pack, each carton, makes you glad all over again that you are a Marlboro smoker!
