Events State Lions Besides shooting down Springfield, New England's best, Saturday at Rec Hall, Penn State's grapplers showed what precision and exacting skill can do. Although up against a foe nearly as strong physically as Oklahoma, the national ly-ranked power that upended the Staters in the season opener, the Lions took ad vantage of a lack of technique and using hard, quick moves forced the Maroons into defensive tactics throughout the match. The fact that the Nittanies scored 12 takedowns to one for Springfield more than proves the point. Looked Dim The outcome looked dim at first when Harry Weinhoffer was pinned at 4:56 of an extremely close match. However, Wally Clark's 3-1 decision over previously unbeaten Joe Porrell got the Lions on the right track and they were never derailed. Clark's win by virtue of a takedown and an escape initiated a string of four straight State wins and evened his mark at 1-1. Dave Spinda (1-1) followed with a 7-1 decision over John Donarummo, substitu ting for Cam Sinclair, Vince Fitz (1-1) then pinned Bob Serrano at 4:42 and Bob Abra ham, with four takedowns and an escape, scored a 9-2 win over Al Nero before Spring field managed to score. Short of Nothing But even though Springfield got a score, the Lions didn't come up on the short end of anything, as Lee Smith and Steve Porto battled to a 1-1 tie, thus giving each team two points. Matt Kline upped his mark to 2-0 by pinning Bill Barges at 7:16 of the match. The Nittanies were in control and on the attack throughout, forcing the visiting Maroons ,to wrestle State's style and pre senting Bill Koll with an opportunity to rest unbeaten junior Bob Funk, who suffered a WRA Begins Winter Activities The coeducational fi g u r e skating club of the Women's Recreation Association w ill meet from 1-2:45 p.m. today in the Ice Pavilion.

Following State's default at 177 pounds, Rich Lorenzo (2-0) and Larry Holtackers (1-0) wrapped up the match with two quick pins. Lorenzo, the team captain, put John Glassock, second best wrestler record-wise on Springfield's roster, on the ropes in the second period. The win upped Lorenzo's mark to 2-0. In the first wrestling match of his short career, sophomore heavyweight Larry Hol tackers impressed the crowd of 2,700 by strongarming Will Thayer into a pin in the second period. Holtackers not only impressed the crowd, he pleased the most important man a wrestler can please, his coach. "I was very impressed with his perform ance, since I really didn't know what to expect," Koll glowed. "He's been working with Lorenzo, and it showed. That was a typical Lorenzo move, but what impressed me most was his composure under the pres sure of the first match.

Women Kathy Corrigan turned the tables on her former teacher, Saturday in White Gymnasium. The former 1964 Olympian proved that the teacher might have done too good of a job. The Penn State gymnasts de feated Springfield 102-99.10 in a rematch of last year's meet. Last season the Lion gymnasts lost to Springfield by two points. Diane Potter was Miss Cor rigan's college coach. Miss Corrigan, a former Springfield gymr. a s t, was thrilled by her team's victory. "It was just a good meet," Miss Corrigan said. "My girls performed exceptionally well and were not as nervous as I had expected them to be." Colleen Vlanhos, co-captain, capped the all-around honors with a score of 36.10, an aver age of 9.02. "I was proud of her all around performance," Miss Corrigan said. The Lion gymnasts won both the side horse vaulting and balance events.

Miss Cregory was high scorer for the Springfield gym nasts scoring 34.90 points. One highlight of the meet was the 9.40 score given to Colleen Vlachos on the balance beam. The score was the high est given in the entire meet. On her preformance on the balance beam Miss Vlachos said, "After I made the first .backwalk, I knew I was all right. That s the psychological point in my routine " Both coaches were amazed at the large crowd showing up for the meet. About 500 crammed the small gym. "I enjoy having the meets at home because the audience knows what is good. Coach Wettstone has them trained, whereas in other cor—ges the people know little of what is happening at the meet. This is one factor that can be advan tageous to the home team and I'm proud that Penn State fol lows their gymnastics team." Diane Potter, Spring field coach, had one statement to make about her former stu dent. "I think she's done an ex cellent job," Miss Potter said.

Gymnasts Swing To 190 Points By DAVID NEVINS Collegian Sports Writer Last March Penn State's gymnastics team captured the Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League title with a score of 188.75. This past Saturday night, in their first dual meet of the season, the Lions easily surpassed this score in walloping a hopelessly outclassed Springfield squad---190.30 to .175.00. The win avenged the loss handed the Lions last year by the Maroons who tied Penn State for the Eastern title. In order for a gymnastics team to break the 190 level, the average score for all events must exceed 9.0, an amaz ing accomplishment in a team's first meet. In all of last year, the Lions only scored more than 190 once, and this didn't occur until the sixth meet of the season. Among the most impressed of Penn State fans Satur day night was Lion gymnastics captain of 1966, Ed Isabelle. "This team is as good as any team I've seen at Penn State," said Isabelle. "That includes the national cham pionship team of 1965 when we had Mike Jacobson and Steve Cohen on the same team." Depth Is Asset Perhaps Penn State's greatest asset this season is an exceptional amount of depth. While Springfield had trou ble finding one man who could capably compete in the all-around competition, Penn State coach Gene Wettstone could have confidently chosen from four men. Junior Bob Emery was slated to go all-around for the Lions, based on his impressive 54.95 score the night be fore in the Scandinavian meet. However, Emery has been bothered recently by an injured knee so Coach Gene Wett stone decided to limit his star performer to four events. Sophomore Dick Swetman replaced Emery in the all around and easily captured first place with an excellent score of 54.00—an average of 9.0. Although competing in only two events, specialist Paul Vexler was one of the most outstanding performers in the meet. His 9.55 on the still rings brought a standing ovation, as he combined strength and agility into a seemingly flaw less routine. Vexler had the crowd buzzing in expectation as he approached his second event s the long horse. The 'mus tachioed performer let no one down as he duplicated his still ring performance with another 9.55. Although Emery didn't compete in the all-around, he still did more than his share to help the Lions defeat Springfield. In four events—three of which he won— Emery averaged a superb 9.24, climaxing the evening with a 9.50 on the horizontal bar. "Tonight was the first time I have ever completely gone through this particular - routine in a meet or in prac tice," said Emery. "I would have tried it during the Scan dinavian meet, except I was in the running for a cup and I didn't want to risk losing it." This season the order of events has been changed, putting the horizontal bar last. Meets are most often won and lost on this event due to the tremendous amount of risk involved, hence the rule change. Emery's routine cer tainly coincided with this logic, as he exhibited the most daring routine of the night. Trampoline Improving • Even though the Lions weren't as strong. in the trampo line as in other events they did show considerable improve ment over last year. Tom Clark, a promising sophomore, and Marty De Santis both scored 9.00, with John Kindon finishing with an 8.35. One gymnast who didn't perform up to expectations was Joe Litow. Although performing well in three events he still has not reached the star status expected of him. "Joe has some excellent routines, but he always seems to have a slight break or an unnecessary stop in his per formances," said Wettstone. "If he can polish up his rou tines there's no telling how good he will be." Looking ahead to the rest of the season, the only threat to State's eastern supremacy seems to be Temple University. Temple scored an impressive 189 last week end against Southern Connecticut and should offer the Lions some stiff competition later in the season. The Lions travel to West Point to meet the Cadets on Saturday. Floor Exercise 1. Solomon, Springfield, 9.1; 2. Swetman, State, 0.75; 5. tie between Loughran and Corrigan, State, 8.7; 5.
