Gymnasts,
Undefeated G-Men
Not Even Pressed
By DAVID KEVINS
Collegian Sports Writer
Some of the scores recorded by the Syracuse gymnasts
in last Saturday’s gym meet sounded- more like their all
university averages than gym scores. Scores like 2.75 and
2.90 sound pretty good for grades but are equivalent to
academic probation in the gymnastics world.
' One of the Syracuse performers couldn’t even manage
a score that sounded decent in the academic world as he
registered a 0.00 on the long horse. He received this distinc
tion when he performed two vaults that were exactly
alike, resulting in an automatic disqualification.
All this added up to what was more of an exhibition
by State’s talented gymnasts rather than a dual meet. Even
though the Lions seemed invincible in slaughtering the
Orangemen, 185.30-120.15, they still lacked the consistency
to break the 190-poirit total. This lack of consistency could
be costly next week in the crucial meet of the season
against undefeated Temple, The Lions are 5-0.
High Risk
One reason for State’s inconsistency was the high
degree of risk in many of the routines. Dick Swetman only
received an 8.90 on the parallel bars for one of the most
difficult routines around. He lost as much as .5 of a point
when he had trouble holding a handstand coming from a
back somersault.
Bob Emery had similar problems as he registered a
9.10 on the parallel bars, and the routine contained a dis
mount never performed by anyone in the world. Although
he did complete the dismount successfully, he tripped on
the mat coming out of it to cause a point reduction. Had
he performed a less spectacular dismount perfectly he would,
have registered a higher score.
- In one of the best routines of the meet, Joe Litow re
ceived a 9.35 on the horizontal bar. While this score is
nothing to complain • about, he probably could have re
ceived an additional .2 or .3 of a point if he had not at
tempted a unique and risky dismount.
After four weeks of undefeated performances on the
still rings and long horse, specialist Paul Vexler fell from
the undefeated ranks. In scoring a 9.1 in the vaulting,
Vexler fell short of his usual 9.50. Although the fans thought
he deserved a better score, Vexler had contrary feelings.
“I didn’t get a big enough hop to get a really good
score,” Vexler said. “The bad hop caused my free .flight
to be a lot lower than usual.”
Vexler proved to be as,consistent as ever on the still
rings, as he won the event with a 9.50. Even the Syracuse
gymnasts were impressed, giving him a standing ovation.
Ironically, though Vexler did get a 9.50, he had to change
his dismount in the middle of the routine because he had
tired himself out.
The Lions next meet will be Saturday at Temple where
they battle for the championship of the Eastern Intercol
legiate Gymnastics League.

Despite Negro Boycott
Meet a Near Sellout
NEW YORK (fP) The New York Athletic Club in
door track meet this Friday, which is being boycotted by
most Negro athletes, is almost a sellout, the meet director
said yesterday.
The meet, first to be held in the luxurious new Madi
son Square Garden, will be picketed by groups who say the
NYAC discriminates against Negroes and Jews in its. mem
bership policies.
Despite this, all but about 1,000 of the 17,800 available
tickets have been sold, said Ray Lumpp, the meet director.
Still to be determined is exactly how many athletes
will cross the picket line that may itself have some track
stars. Harry Edwards, the San Jose State teacher who
helped organize the boycott, is due here later in the week
to oversee the operation.
Lee Evans, star quarter-miler for San Jose State, said
last week he expects 1,200 pickets at the meet.
Lumpp distributed a final list of entrants Monday, and
it contained several Negro stars, including Southern Cali
fornia’ s star hurdler Earl McCullouch; his teammate,
sprinter Lennox Miller, and long jumpers Ralph Boston,
Jerry Proctor and Bob Beamon. ■ ■
Last Friday at the U.S. Track and Field Federation
meet, however, McCullouch made it clear he had no inten
tion of competing in the meet and it seems unlikely that
many Negroes, if any, will be there.

Killy,
GRENOBLE, France (AP)
United States skiers regained
some of their lost glory yes
terday while Jean-Claude Killy,
France's king of the hills, cap
tured another crown in his race
toward an Alpine sweep in the
Winter Olympics.
Killy, the 24-year-old world
champion who won the downhill
race last week, added the giant
slalom to his growing gold
medal chain with a second
heat run of 1:46.54 for a com
bined time of 3:29.28 and an
easy victory.
Penn State, 25.10
He now needs only a triumph
in the special slalom Friday
and Saturday to become the
second man in history to win
all three races.
His victory Monday was fully
expected, leaving the day’s
most stunning showing to
America’s Billy Kidd.
of Stowe, Vt., a silver
medal winner at Innsbruck four
years ago and plagued by inju
ries since, outdid even’the great
Killy on the second heat as he
blistered the 57-gate, 1,780-
meter course in 1:46.46, the
fastest clocking of the day.
His performance moved him
from eighth to fifth place with
a combined time of 3:32.37, still
out of the medals but reviving
U.S. hopes in the special
slalom.
Teammate Jim Heuga of
Squaw Valley, Calif., a bronze
medal winner in 1964, fell from
seventh to 10th with a time of
1:48.43 for 3:33.89.
Kidd easily was the highlight
of the day for the United States.
Jeanne Ashworth of Wilming
ton, N.Y., managed only a 10th
place behind winner Johanna
Schut of The Netherlands in the
women’s 3,000-meter speed
skating and the best American
finish was 27th in the biathlon,
won by Norway’s Magnar Sol
berg.
The U.S. hockey team scored
its first victory after . four
losses by trouncing West Ger
many 8-1. The Americans broke
open a close game by scoring
four goals in the last 10 min
utes of the second period.

By PAUL LEVINE
Collegian Sports Editor
II had not been an easy week for Bill
Roll.
Things began badly for Penn State’s
wrestling coach and then got progressively
worse. It wasn’t bad enough that he was
nabbed by a local constable for going the
wrong w'ay on a one-way street. And it
wasn’t the worst thing in the world when he
buttoned his shirt, donned his sport coat
and headed for Harrisburg without putting
on his tie. But when he suffered a second
degree burn in the process of lighting a
cigar, Bill Koll sensed that something was
amiss.
“Everything was going so badly that I
was worried Syracuse would upset us,” Koll
said, remembering how the pack of matches
exploded in his hands.
The worries were unfounded, however,
as the Lions chased Syracuse all over the mat
and flattened the Orangemen, 34-5 in Rec
Hall Saturday
State started early en route to its fifth
victory as the first four Lion wrestlers com
piled a' 16-0 lead.
Sophomore Bruce Balmat registered his
third victory of the season with a 4-3 decision
over Joe Palmieri at 123 pounds and the
Lions were on their/way.
Veterans Wally Clark and Dave Spinda
raised their records to 5-1 as each recorded
pins. Clark, at 130 pounds, was in full con
trol with an 8-2 lead when he flattened Ken
•Peters at 6:43 of the match. It took Spinda
even less time to deck Alan Heugh. After
scoring an early takedown, Spinda began the
second period in control. Using a Princeton
arm bar, Spinda turned over Huegh and ref
eree Salvatore Spinelli slapped the mat only
20 seconds after he had whistled in the
period.
Hecfic Day
Huegh’s brief look at the Rec Hall lights
marked the end of a rather hectic day for
the Syracuse athlete. Originally, a member
of the gymnastics team, Heugh filled in for
double-duty Saturday, as he competed in
both the gym meet and wrestling match.
His performances in each, however, re
ceived less than raves reviews. Competing in
a losing cause in the afternoon, Heugh scored
2.90 on the trampoline and 6.80 on the rings
Huegh’s friends didn’t fare much better SaL
today night.
The Orangemen’s John Terboss at 145
pounds, suffered the humiliation of ending on
the short end of a 15-2 score. It was the
Lions’ Vince Fitz who administered the
thrashing, but he had a little help from Ter
boss, who seemed intent on. doing anything
to avoid being pinned. As. it turned out,

Fifth Victory
Terboss did nothing, and Fitz was awarded
a total of four points in stalling penalties.
The Lions' only loss came at 152 pounds
when senior Tom Hostetter, wrestling two
notches above his weight class, was decisioned
9-3 by Eric Greenberg. It was Hostetter’s first
match of the year.
Bob Abraham got State back on the win
ning track at 160 pounds with a 5-3 victory
over Kpn Haynes. The win evened Abraham’s
season record at 3-3.
~ “If I had to single out an outstanding
performance tonight, I would have to men
tion Abraham,” Koll said. “He’s been down
lately after losing a couple, and now it looks
like he’s'on his way back.
At 167 pounds, the Lions’ Matt Kline
raised his record to 5-1. but may have ended
the evening as the most frustrated wrestler
on either team. For the better part of three
periods, Kline pushed, dragged and rode
Orangeman Jim Resell around the mat. Kline
wanted his third pin of the season, but Rosell
was satisfied to sprawl flat and be ground
face down into the mat. After one warning,
one single point penalty, and a pair of two
point penalties, Spinelli disqualified Rosell
and awarded five points to Penn State.
“That was the first time I’ve ever seen
a wrestler disqualified for stalling,” Koll
said afterwards, “But it was a good call.
It’s up to the referee to make him wrestle.
If the guy won’t wrestle, he should be dis
qualified,”
At 177 pounds, Bob Funk failed to keep
his victory string alive but avoided losing by
hanging on for a 5-5 tie with Bob Rust.
Rich Lorenzo raised his season mark to
5-0 as he outlasted Lee Castner, 4-1. Syra
cuse, now 1-6 on the year, forfeited the heavy
weight bout.
The Lions (5-1) swing back into action
Saturday night as they entertain powerful
Navy. The Midshipmen (7-0) have already
defeated Lehigh and last Saturday pounded
Maryland, 26-8. Meanwhile, Lehigh,- the
Lions’ opponents on Feb. 28, lost its fourth
match of the year, being drubbed by Army,
21-13. .
