!the EIGL meets will be gov
erned by the Federation of In-
Iterna6onal Gymnastics code
of points and rules of compe
tition. 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,

way. 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."

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!
Therefore, Marlboros in hand, let us march confidently into
1964. May goOd fortune attend our ventures! May serenity
reign!, May Chicago and Phoenix soon recover from their dis
appointment and join our bright cavalcade into a braVe to
morrow! 1064 Ma:.&bulmas
