Men gymnasts face
three Big Ten teams
By CHUCK RUSS
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
It’s time for the men’s gymnastics
team to come down from the clouds and
back to reality. The crucial win over
Indiana State is in the past. This
weekend finds the Lions.out in Big Ten
country to take on its best: Minnesota,
Ohio State, and Illinois.
“It would be foolish of me not to expect
a letdown after last week (the Indiana,
State meet),” Penn State coach Karl
Schwenzfeier said. “We have a
possibility of losing everytime we
compete, but I doubt that we will.”
The Lions are due for a down meet and
this may be the one. They have im
proved steadily every meet since the
beginning of the year. The climax was
the 221.15 against ISU. Schwenzfeier
doesn’t expect that to happen this week.
“I really don’t expect us to be real high
for this meet,” Schwenzfeier said. "The
team has been practicing well, but to be
as high as we were for the Indiana State
meet would be unrealistic.”
The competition has a lot to do with
this. Although they are the top three in
the Big Ten, their highest score to date
between them is a 211.45, which is 9.7
points lower than Penn State has ddne in
any meet this year.
Last year this might have been a
different story. Minnesota finished
seventh in the NCAA finals last year,
just one place behind Penn State.
However, the Gophers have lost their
star performer and Niessen Award
winner, Tim LaFleur, to graduation. The
best that coach Fred Roethlisberger is
left with is Reid Goldetsky, a 53.40 all-

arounder. Minnesota is still expected to
win the Big Ten Title.
Penn State will probably make a few
changes for this meet. Tom Gray,
coming back after an injury, is ex
pected to perform on both the floor and
the vaulting horse replacing Tom
Forster and Kurt Weissend, respec
tively. Weissend will replace Joe Fust on
the high bar. Because of the twelve-man
limit that the NCAA imposes on gym
nastics teams Gray will, in effect,
replace Fust. Other than that the lineup
will remain the same including the all
around quartette of Paul Simon, Bob and
Dan Desiderio, and Pat Besong.
RINGERS: Originally Schwenzfeier
had expected this to be a double dual
meet between Penn State and Ohio State
out in Columbus. At least that is what the
contract said it was for. The meet bet
ween the Lions and the Buckeyes
seemed to be a natural rivalry. Then
came'the problems. The OSU women’s
team had a previous engagement, a Big
Ten tourney they had to attend. Scratch
the double dual. Enter Minnesota. Coach
Roethlisberger sent Schwenzfeier a flier
that showed Penn State on their schedule
in a meet with Ohio State. Schwenzfeier
called OSU coach Mike Wilson to have
this confirmed and it was. Angered,
Schwenzfeier noticed that Illinois had
also been invited to the meet. Wilson
said that they had not committed
themselves to Illinois, so Schwenzfeier
said to drop them from the meet. Wilson
agreed, but later called Schwenzfeier
and told him that Illinois wanted to come
very badly. Schwenzfeier relented
grudgingly.
All-arounder Paul Simon and the men’s gymnastics team take on Minnesota,
Ohio State and Illinois, the three best teams in the Big Ten. The Lions turned in
their best performance of the season against highly-touted Indiana State last
