WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1965 Junior? Senior? What Is Jack Anyway? By ALEX WARD Cnllcymn Spurts tUiuor Although hanliv anybody noticed. Penn State quarterback Jack White set three more school records durini' that yamc in Pitt Stadium Saturday. His 122 yards throwing .cave him 1242 for the season, his nine completions cave him 95 lor the year and he has 3307 yards m total offense—all records. That's pretty darn ia><>d for a junior. Oi is it a senior? Or is lie just a sophomore without any more eligibility? What year is Jack White anyway? On the proynun, .Juris White is listed as a junior. Up at Willard Build in*,' Jus Number Two card lists him as a junior. And it'll be another year be fore his parents start buying him graduation yil'ts. But as lar as football'-; concerned. White may well be m iiis last year. A native of Wilkmsbury. White attend ed tiie University of Florida his first semester and then transferred to State. Hue to the NCAA transfer rule he had to sit out a year of sports, lie cl id just that. Due to another rule among State. Syracuse. West Virginia and Pitt, the year he sat out constitutes a "redshirt" and so the year is lost com pletely. Whether he can gel if back is both a serious and touchy question, and one that is impossible to answer si this time.

Returns to Gym In Wctlstone's case, back to the drawmgboard (in this ease, the gym) to ,-latt all over again. The excitement of the NCAA meet last April has long since died down, and there me a lot of old familiar faces who aren’t lieie any more. In all, eight seniors depart ed from that title-winning team of last spring, including some of the best gymnastic talent Wettstone has ever de veloped in his tenure here at Penn Stale. The most important absen tee is Jacobson, blit Wettstone also pointed out that the loss of other multi-event men like Jim Culhanc and Pete Sapo naro would hurt the Lions this season. “They were consistent per formers in a number of events,'’ the roach said, "and they came through when we needed them most " The talent well lias not run dry. but it is not overflowing either, with seven lettcrmen • • • • : p : : / or : J^(cciMire THE ; BILLIARD : \ ROOM ; 224 E.

Cohen showed iittle respect for lus elders, Jacobson and Isabelle, bv winning the all around title at the Easterns. Doing so. lie became the four teenth straight Lion gymnast to eon that crown. To Utilize Both Men Naturally. Wettstone is go ing to use lioth Isabelle and Cohen m as many events as he can. They will compete as State’s two unlimited entries in dual meets, allowing them to work m every event'. Under the NCAA tulcs re vised for this .season, one of these two unlimited perform ers must be designated as the ■ all-around entry befoie the first event begins. Choosing between Isabelle and Cohen will be a dilemma that should cause Wettstone some sleepless— but altogether worry-free—nights. UnfortunateK. the remain der of the squad more than makes up for what Isabelle and Cohen lack in the ulcet builriing department. What the Lions need this! season.according to the coach.I is not more quality, but more quantity. : Of the other five monogram holders. nnlv one competes in more than one event.

According to Ernest E. McCoy, Director of Athletics and Dean of the College (if Physical Education, almost all of the 660 odd dele gates attending the convention were in favor of a rule to put an end to redshirting—the practice of holding a player out a year to suit the needs of the team. However, the measure wasn't accepted nationally so the three Eastern schools and the Southern Confer ence member (West Virginia) made their own pact. And it is by that pact that White's future hinges. His fate will be decided Dec. 7 when the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference meets in New York. At that time White’s case will be presented. “We’re not going to fight Jack's case in the papers,” said McCoy. “That would only stir up resentment among the other three schools. Anyway, it’s not in the hands of the athletic directors to make the decision. The presidents of the schools do that.” If the four presidents agree that White can play another year, he will. It’s as simple as that. According to NCAA regulations he’s perfectly legal already. If the presidents don't see eye to eye, a couple of men up in Rec Hall named Rip Engle and Joe Paterno will sit back and groan. Building the team around a new quarterback every season is sort of a tedious task. Naturally Engle hopes White gets the extra year. With a schedule the Seventh Army wouldn't face alone next year, the Lions need every weapon they can get. But Engle doesn't see the matter altogether in that light. both the trampoline and th Jong horse. Tony Watson is specialist on the irainpolini while Doug Collins and Gai Williams confine their efiot to the long horse and Dei ms i’aoletti specialize; on th side horse. Paoletti is typical of Ih quintet, in Wettslone's opt! ton. "Dennis needs a htlie moi reliability," the roach explaii ed. "He has tremendous abilil and when he hits his routir right—he's great." Wcltstone is counting on a the seniors and letterinen come through this spasm since last year's frcshma: squad was "not the best we'v had." Top Soph Prospects Still, the 1965 fresh hav provided the varsity will some good material, and Wetl sione singled out Don Spi'irr, who will join Isabelle and Co hen in the all-around, and Marty DiSantis as the sophs who have been the most im pressive so far. The coach did point out, however, that gymnastic po tential is not developed over night and that he expected a good many of the newcomer? to mature with the start cf the dual-meet schedule in January. Another NCAA rule chans;? will aid in more rapid devel opment of the younger per formers. This season each team will be permitted to en ter four men in each event, instead of three, as was the case in 1965. "This will give a chance for more men to compete." said the coach, “and this is what the rules committee had in mind.” All the changes in the NCAA rulebook will not be to State's benefit, however, since there is a new scoring system in effect this year. In the past, points were awarded on the basis of order of finish—6-4-3-'>-l for the first five places. This year points will be given in ac cordance with the Olympic code, with the scores earned bv Ihe first three finishei • ■-S* State TfawzL 116 W.

The combined total ol points earned m all seven events gives the team total for the meet. In Wettstone's mind, tins new system will hurt the Lions because of the problem of depth. “Now a team with three mediocre men in every event can do better than a team with two great men and a poor one,” he said. Despite bis i enervations, Wettstone is still looking for ward to the NCAA champion ships, which will be held in Rec I-lall on April ] and 2. He may be apprehensive about team depth, but the last time the Lions played host to the NCAA meet, in 1960. they cap tured the team title. There are those who will bet that Wettstone will pull a repeat performance just to prove there is somewhere left he can go. 238-0528 “I’m not in favor of holding boys back to give a team a powerhouse every year,” said the Lion coach “But Jack is a fine player and is just developing. It would be a shame if he didn't get to play another year," White, a pre-med student, is probably the most anxious of all to hear the verdict. “When I came here to school the first thing I thought about was getting a good education,” he said. “And I still feel that way. But let’s face it. when you play football, that’s a big part of your life too. And not playing next year would be a tremendous letdown.” That’s no understatment. Lei’s nope those presi dents don't deflate White. Engle, Palerno, the rest of the coaching staff and a few'thousand Lion fans all in one dav. Roger Grimes, the Lions' sensational sophomore prospect who saw action in only one game this year, will also have his case decided at that meeting in New York. Grimes was hurt in the UCLA game and hasn’t played since. The athletic department is interested to know if he will get an extra year of eligibi'ity. "This is strictly a judgment matter,” said McCoy. It has nothing to do with the four-school agreement." The ECAC rules strictly stipulate that a player is allowed three years of varsity and one vear of fresh man competition. “If a ball plaver goes out and partici pates hi the coin toss and nothing else," said McCoy, “it might constitute a year of playing. “Roger's case will be put before a Board of Arbi tration consisting of six ECAC athletic directors and a commissioner and they will make the decision.” Garrett Wins Heisman Trophy NEW YORK ITPi Mike Garrett, Southern California's stocky, swivel-hipped half back who has thundered his way to the forefront of col lege football’s greal runners, won the 1965 Heisman Mem orial Trophy yesterday as player of the year.

Last year's winner was Notre Dame's John Huarte, now of the professional New York Jets. Garrelt got 179 first place votes and a total of 928 points.
