FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK: From all the reports we received the 1970. DWGS Champion­ships wa s the best ever. We are sorry we could not get away to personally attend the competition. Dur congratulations to the new All-Americans and apologies for not having a photographer on hand to be sure we had an action photo of each individual recipient to publish in this edition of Mile G.

:;: :;: * The Milan Med art in thi s edition is iust a preview to a photo coverage in the next issue of a recent Med exhibition in Eu~ope . Interest runs high among our readers for Med reproductlon.s. We are now negotiating with the Art Ce~trum o~ Czechoslovakia on the availability of Med originals, limited editIOn artl~t signed and numbered prints along with litho reproductions of his works for !v1l1e G subscribers. We expect to have definite word to you by the fall editions.

:;:

From the enthusiastic writeups and newspaper clippings we re­ceived it is obvious the Bulgarian World Champion "Gymnastics Modern" team was a sensation at every appearance. Again we can only say we are sorry that their tour had to be limited to only a few stops on the East Coast and the Chicago area. A talented group like this should have had more support for a nationwide tour (perhaps next time the West Coast will be able to make a stronger bid to host such a fine international championship team; we sure hope so).

:;:

Along with all her other ventures, Mile G contributing editor Helen Siursen heads up a newsletter exchange. Because as a na­tional (and international) publication Mile G cannot adequately cover local gymnastic news and events. Many areas are develop­ing local, state and area newsletters to fill their need. If you edit a Gymnastic newsletter for your area, send a copy to Helen Siursen at 46 Poplar Place, Fanwood, New Jers~y 0.70.23 , and she will put you on the exchange liSt, and you will receive local reports from all over the country that will give you ideas and facts to stimulate your own reports. Also do not forget to put Mile G on your newsletter mailing list as we like to glean inter­esting news and thoughts from your area that will help us do a better iob of reporting the local and national pulse of Gymnas­tics in America.

:;:

P.S. Summer's coming .... SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GYMNASTIC CAMP.

Activity only is what makes and keeps you happy and cheerful . .. Jean Pa,ul

1970 Collegiate All-Americans Annually, the editorial staff of Sundby Publications for Mademoi­

selle Gymnast Magazine, upon recommendation of the selection com­mittee of the American Congress of Women's Gymnastic Coaches selects the Collegiate All American Team for 1 970.

The nominations are contingent upon top ten placement, in the 1970 D.GW.S. National Intercollegiate Championships (conducted March 26-29, B.Y.U., Provo, Utah) and individual event placement in the top six, if not previously indicated as an all around nominee.

Southern Illinois University (by virtually placing its entire team on the 1970 All American Roster) regained the National Inter­collegiate Championship. S.I.U. lost its first collegiate National title to Springfield last season on a controversial judges ruling. The rilling, later corrected by Mademoiselle Villancher (F.I.G.) of France, would hove reversed the decision giving the title to Southern Illinois had not the 1969 results been ruled "Fino!." The 1970 contest left little doubt reo the Team Champion.

The fifteen member 1 970 All Americans are:

Highlights from USGF'S Region II by Varina French, Region II Chairman

Region II includes Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming where gymnastics is growing with leaps and bounds. Credit should be given to the following state chairman: Alaska (we need a chairman here); Washington: Dana Vail (recently resigned); Oregon: Arlene Crosman; Idaho: Sylvia Zuraff; Montana: Judy Barkley, and Wyoming: Ardie McLeod.

Noteworthy at this time: Wyoming's State USGF meet was held Feb. 28. Oregon Gymnastic Association's state meet was March 13-14 and Oregon's state USGF meet March 21. Those gymnasts who qualified in the state USGF meets were invited to participate in the regional meet on April 11 scheduled at Hillsboro, Ore. Another date to put on your calendar is the USGF Gymnastic Camp for girls and women. The master teacher for this camp will be Ernestine Carter. Ernie is now teaching at Clarion College, Clarion, Penn. Prior to that time she was an instructor at Michigan State and offers the follow­ing as qualifications for her role as a master teacher. She distin­guished herself as champion of Canada for seven consecutive years and won three U.S.A. championships during this time. In 1959 she won five gold medals at the Pan-American Games and was a mem­ber of the Canadian Olympic Team in 1956 and 1960. Three times she was honored as the Outstanding Athlete of Canada and then gained further recognition with her election as a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. She has written the exercise booklets for the recordings, "U.S.A. in Motion and Physical Fitness," based on her athletic and teaching experience. She has also written the textbook, "Gymnastics for Women," published by Prentice Hall , Inc. She will have a competent staff of gymnastic teachers to assist in the program. The camp will be held on the Pacific University campus located in Forest Grove, Ore. Dates are July 19-25 and July 26-Aug. 1. Fees are $65 per week and include room, board and insurance. Specific information will be published at a later date. Any questions at this time may be directed to Varina French, Pacific University, Forest Grove, Ore. 9711 6.

New 1 6mm color sound instructional films in selected medium and superior difficulties have been produced in this region and are in wide use.

NEWS RElEASE U.S.A. TRAMPOLINE COMMITTEE

The finest group of trampolini sts to ever ossemble for 0 trampo­line meet were in New Orleons on Feb. 28 for the first trials to make the U.S.A. teom to go to the world championships in Bern, Switzer­land, June 19, 1970. It was a day of thrills for the participants who placed high and disappointment for those who had a " bad day." As in any sport, there are always those wha lose out because of the tremendous amount of pressure, lack af experience or just plain bad luck.

Loyd Huval, gymnastic coach at LSU, New Orleans, was the meet director for this first trial s to select a U.S.A. team. Loyd, in his usual fine manner, conducted a well-organized meet with the help of the Physical Education Majors Club and public relations staff. Th e judges were wellquali'fiedfor internatianal judging of trampolin­ing.

The girl s' event was won by a 13-yea r-old Renee Ransom of Memphis, Tenn., with a 39.80 effort and a four-way tie for second place between Greer Thompson, Vicki Bolinger, Troy Kauffman and Mary McDonald with a 37.45 score. This should present a very inter­esting and unpredictable contest for the second trials as Miss Ran­som, Miss Thompson and Miss Kauffman will be competing before their home-town crowd of Memphis, Tenn. Miss Bolinger will be

f ighting to get back her first-place spot, and a much stronger Mary McDonald, Des Moines, Iowa, will have recovered from her knee injury received during competiti on over the Christmas holidays. The girls' event placed the team of Lucy Clouter ond Diane Haney of Springfield , Illinois, in first position going into the second trials.

U.S.A. TRAMPOLINE NEWS The National AAU Junior ond Senior Trampol ine Championships

were contested in Houston, Texas, April 11 -12 at the beautiful new Jewish Community Center by a record 71 competitors in individual contest and 10 synchronized team s. The senior women 's gold medal went to Renee Ransom, 1 2-yea r-old top U.S.A. performer from Mem­phis, Tenn. Vicki Bol inger - second-ranked woman trampolinist in the world - came in second with Mary McDonald, Des Moines, Iowa, th ird. The women 's junior and seniar team trophies went to the Springfield Trampaline Club, Springfield, Illinois.

The junior girls ' gold medal was won by Troy Kauffman, South­eastern Loui siana College, and a member af the internationally known gymnastic team of Vannie Edwards, Olympic coach and man­ager. Marge Huddleston lost to Troy by 105 of a point to come in a very close second, and Tina Ehman, Memphis, Tenn., took the third­place medal.

The winning girls ' team was the Springfield Illinois Trampoline Club of Vicki Bolinger, Diane Haney, Lucy Clouter and Bobbie Grant.

The meet was opened by AAU President Jesse Pardue, who con­qratulated all of those wha had worked so hard for the sport of frampolining and welcomed all spectators and competitors to Hous­ton , his home town. Th is was the f irst national AAI1 trampoline championships to be held sepa rate from gymnastics. It will be the first of many and better to come. Trampolining has been recently included as a separate event in the Jr. Olympic program and stands a very gaod chance to be shown as an exhibition sport in the 1 972 Olympic Games in Munich. There wa s an NCAA Trampoline Cham­pionship held at the site of the gymna stic championships in Phila­delphia on April 2nd and an NAIA national meet for trampoling held with gymnastics at Menomie, Wisconsin. On March 7th, there was another first in the sport of trampolining. A National Age Group Champianship Meet was held at the University of Southwestern United States trom eight years on up through the open division, with each competitor performing a prescribed compulsory exerci se. and two optional exercises. Miss Judi Ford, Miss America 1969, wa s on hand to greet the young sters and inspire them to continue in her sport of trampolining.

The large gymnasium was packed with spectatars from many cities, and B4 competitors put on a shaw that will nat be forgotten for a long time. It was the first opportunity that an 8-year-old had to be a national champion. Trampol ining has experienced a tremendous growth period over the last few years, and it appears that the future is almost certain to bring greater success for young aspirants in this sport.

REPORT ON 1970 D.G.W.S. NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE GYMNASTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS by Herb VDgel, CDach SIU

Hats off to Lu Wallace and Brigham Young University - host of the 1970 D.G.W.S. Intercollegiate Women 's Gymnastic Cham­pionship!!

Thi s writer who has received ample praise, bath verbal and written , concerning the organization and administration of the women 's collegiate pioneer championship events would like to be the first , but certainly is not, to praise the 1970 D.G.w.S. Intercol­legiate Championship.

The 1970 intercollegiates took on the stature and dignity of the mountain setting in which they were staged. Having been person­ally involved in many national competition s over the years, both as host and guest, BYU has had no equal and shall be difficult to fol­low.

The finest compliment that this coach has ever had throughout his 14-year tenure wa s to observe the adoption, adaption and im­plementation of many of the workable, practical ideas used in the past " unofficial" national collegiate meets. Then to see additions and refinements, fostered by sound thinking and precise organiza­tion, was the frosting to the cake.

Little things do mean a lot. From being greeted at the airport by official representatives, to finding flowers, fruit and official greeting in your motel room, to the permanent team assignment of a hostess are the extras we often tend to overlook but do mean so very much in the memory bank of the collegiate participant. Not to be forgotten was the visit from the " Easter Bunny," or the BYU representatives themselves, on or about 2 a.m. Easter morning delivering the final farewell touch, a personal Easter greeting. That was the cherry, on top of the frosting, on top of the well-baked cake that was the 1970 D.G.w.S. National Collegiate Championships.

Administration, relative to the competition, judges' juries were stopwatch-timed to protect the tempo of the competition. Women 's physical education classes were dismissed for this competition and provided runners, flashers, clerks, guides, hostesses - in numbers more than adequate, it seemed to pledge a return visit of "Pompe­deau" or the next Democratic convention in Chicago.

The use of large opaque projectors kept spectators, athletes and coaches informed of the performance, number and score through­out the meet with large running scoreboards of the finalist, rear­ranged relative to final placement as the meet progressed.

The judging through the leadership of the U.S.G.F. Women's Technical Committee was much improved over 1969 and predicts even finer gains in this area in the future.

Through the practical leadership af Dr. Fran McGill, D.G.W.S. commission chairman, and Caroline Bowers, chairman of the Col­legiate Women's Gymnastic Committee, the annual coaches' meet­ing was highly productive. An official, through channels, report on meeting recommendations and implementations should be published shortly.

Critically speaking, only three points come to mind; one of which can be corrected with some procedural changes, one of which can be controlled in the future but was beyond the control of the BYU organization, and the third was an introduction to "clean liv­ing" that most of us needed anyway.

Page 13: Mademoiselle Gymnast - March/April 1970

Firstly, scores in published form can be available to the public within a maximum of 30 minutes after the conclusion of a competi­tive session. Procedures to accomplish this end must and shou ld be devised by future hosts, tailored to the limitations of each sponsor­ing unit.

Secondly, the balance beam competition was perhaps the poor­est in the history of the sport at any national level meet. This was not due to the training of the contestants and final scores running from low 7s to mid-8s is not reflective of skil l or ability of the final­ists. The contributing factor was the floor of competition. The beam stabled in manufacture was placed upon a spring-counti leveled sup­port basketball floor. The impact of every vault, every dismount, every tumble and even casual walking, caused the beam ta shake. Further, as much as a 3-5-inch longitud inal sway was visually ob­servable when the gymnast worked the event and at times, most times, fought the beam for control. This is, of course, the responsi­bility of the meet referee - meet director to approve all equipment for safety and accuracy in specifications prior to the commence­ment of the competition. Unfortunately, there was no other place to put the beam due to physical limitations of the area, other than competing in another gym. Now, in retrospect, perhaps because the meet is for the contestant, not the spectator, this shou ld have been done. Future sponsors shou ld be required to produce conditions that can and will produce the best performances of the participants.

Lastly, this writer, knawn to devour a deck or two of "Kentucky Burly" or take an occasional " nip from the hip," managed, as did many, to go "cold turkey," surviving the purity of the mountain air and Mormon culture. Recalling the tremors of withdrawal, this writer is doubtful of prospect of his future survival when his "ti red bod" is exposed to the traumatic contrasts of Las Vegas and the U.S.G.F. national competition in April. Some of us might encounter the "bends" or " reverse bends," depending, of course, on your point of view.

The physical-cultural contrasts of Provo, Utah, might be sta rk when compared to La s Vegas, Nev. (USGF), or Miami, Fla. (NAAAU). Let us hope that the sponsors of the latter two competitions will have the administrative, organizational and operational success that Brigham Young University gave to women's gymnastics this year, 1970.

If this, the 1970 D.GW.S. National Intercollegiate Women's Gymnastic Championship, is a sample of what is to come in the "70s," most of we "pol luters," of self and environment, should be most willing to reevaluate our habits.

You Brigham Young folks might not smoke, drink or "pop" pills like us "norma l" folks, but you sure do know how to run a fine national championship. The added fact that you made contestants, coaches, judges and guests feel and experience "someth ing" special was not just incidental.

We thank you, women gymnastics; thank you. Looking forward to seeing most of you at Penn State University in 1971, and I'm sure most Penn Staters will agree that the 1970 D.GW.S. nationals will be a hard act to follow. Fortunately, as the gymnastic community well known, Penn State standards have always been the finest.

NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS by Dale Flansaas U.S. A Women's National Gymnastic Coach

This was truly a meet for the gymnasts. Each girl was able to warm up on her event without holding up the event (sepa rate gym) and four events were run at once which kept the competition mov­ing.

Seven teams were entered in the class I division and 29 teams in class II. If I were to pick out some outstanding performances from the finals, they would be in the following events:

Floor Exe rcise: There were many good routines. Out of the final­ists there were four routines which had outstanding composition. Wendy Cluff's routine was well above the level of competition. It was a clean routine with excellent tumbling passes: full twist, alter­nates (layouts) and a scissor kick to an immediate aerial. Her rou­tine had a cantinuous movement pattern and theme to it.

Vaulting : It gave me a good feeling to watch the vaulting com­petition. This was one of the few times I've seen so many vaults with good flight in a finals competition. The main vaults performed from the top six girls were: Yomashita's, cartwheel 3,4 twist, V2 twist on and V2 twist off. Mony of the Yomoshito vaults were done too flat on the post flight so that the girl could not open up from her pike. Caroline Riddell's vault came the closest to a correct Yamashita and won the meet with an excellent pre- and post-flight. Her landing was perfect.

Beam: Most of the beam routines were shaky, had falls or were executed too slowly. Wendy Cluff had the only routine which moved continuously from movement to movement. Her whip up to a hand­stand walkover out from a sitting position and full twisting barani dismount excited the crowd. Al so exciting were Terry Spencer's and Jo Anderson 's back hand springs on the beam. Breaks in their rou­tines kept the scores down.

Bars: Most of the bar routines were continuous movements, and the routines were executed well. Most of the routines were stock movements. It was great to see the girls hitting routines within their capabilities with good form and rhythm. I thought the two most original routines were performed by Karen Smith and Bev Marquette. They had movements which weren 't down by everyone in the meet. Karen did a cast handstand on the H.B. with a V2 twist over the L.B. to a stomach whip up to a stand on the L.B. Bev had a back seat cir­cle on the H.B. making a V2 twist halfway through to recatch the H.B. and then drop to a kip on the L.B. along with many other recatches which were original in co mbination.

The calibre of the competition was good but will keep improving from year to year. In the coaches meeting after the competition, many suggestions were given for next year. The DGWS Gymnastics Committee and the DGWS Commission will now decide upon the sug­gestions. Some of the more important ones were:

1. College competition will have regional competition at Jhe class I and II divisions. The classes will be separate for team and individual championships.

2. From the regionals the top two teams, plus the top 10 indi­viduals (which may overlap) per event will go to the National Intercollegiate Meet.

3. Only class I will be held at the National Intercollegiate Meet. Before finishing this report, I must mention the fine hospitality

of the Utah people. Everyone was friendly, no matter where we went. It was a great meet and will be hard to follow. However, we

are sure next year's host, Penn State, in keeping with their fine gymnastic tradition, will do a wonderful job April 8,9 and 10, 1971.

The Best Bulgarian Gymnastics in the U.S.A. by Svetoslav Batov

For the first time Bulgorian gymnastics vis it the United States. Our women's team consisted of the best six Bulgarian gymnasts in the gymnastics modern. Naturally, to start with Maria Gigova, who won the title "Absolute World Champion" at the fourth world cham­pionships in gymnastics modern. That championships was held in Varna, Bulgaria, during the month of September 1969. The next two girls, Neshka Robeva and Rumyana Stefanova, won the second and third place at the same world championships. The other three girls are Krassimira Filipova, Violeta Elenska and Vera Marinova; they played in the team which won the first place in the ensemble routine and got the title "World Champion" at this event.

I decided to visit the famous gymnast and have a short talk about her trip to the U.S.

When I met Maria, she had almost finished training. So we had enough time to talk about her journey through the U.S.

She was extremely happy to send her best regards to the Amer­ican gymnasts. She is a pretty girl with golden hair and big blue eyes. But when she performs her routines, she turns into a real beauty. You can't imagine what a great impression she makes upon the spectators. I hope many will see her.

She told me by secret she was going to perform her very diffi­cult routine with which she won the first golden medal in Copen­hagen two years ago. She also planned to demonstrate her newest routines with ball, ring and rope which she performed at the last world championship in gymnastics modern.

We are sure the Bulgarian gymnastics tour will show to the Americans, spectators and specialists, the high level of Bulgarian gymnastics.

Mr. Batov, a MA graduate from the University of P.E. in Sofia and is state coach for boys in the Bulgarian Gymnastics Federation. A regular reader of MG and Mile G magazines who submitted this re­port, we are grateful for his enthusiastic and interesting article. ed_

Strictly FIG? EDITORIAL by HeJen Sjursen

. . . Are you a "Strictly FIG" meet director for age group .meets in your locality? Yes, we should use FIG rules and specifications so that heights and rules are standardized across the country. HOWEVER, it is an understanding that FIG rules CAN be modified to fit the immediate situation. For example, in vaulting for a 9-and-under age group, there is NO reason why the horse cannot be lowered proportionately to the general height of bodies in that age group. If left at the official height, how could you expect a little girl to vault properly when the height of the horse is about the same height as her shoulders or head? Do the older girls vault with the height of the horse even with their shoulders or head? Of course not! The same applies to the height of the beam. The FIG height is 47". This comes about "rib high" on the older girls so why shouldn't the beam be lowered to about "rib high" for the 9-and-under age group. If you insist upon keeping the high bar at the official height for a 9-and-under age group, there is NO reason why you cannot apply your own rule such as "a girl can be lifted to the high bar with no penalty, low bar to be adjusted in height and width with no pen­alty" or whatever. For safety in age group meets there is no reason

·26·

why you cannot have a spotter between the bars without penalty . Let's not be narrow-minded and stick "strictly" to FlG rules when it comes to our little gymnasts. After all, the FIG Code of Points was composed for INTERNATIONAL gymnasts. Your editor has heard of so many cases of a 9-and-under age group having to work official heights, and no good has come out of it. These young children wind up upset, crying; coaches are upset, and the meet becomes one mess, and everyone leaves with a bad taste. YES, you can deviate from the FIG heights for your local age group meets, BUT you should be SURE to mention the modified heights on your entry form so all contestants can practice at the same modified height before entering the meet. We cannot properly promote gymnastics among the younger gym­nasts, we cannot promote a GOOD relationship among the various clubs and coaches in the area, we cannot expect coaches to be en­thusiastic about training their young gymnasts (and they are the ones who have a great part in the growth of gymnastics) IF we are going to be "stubborn" and force the little ones to perform at I NTER­NATIONAL he ig hts. Let's keep the little gymnasts happy. After all, they will be our future advanced gymnasts.

Chairman, USGF Women's Technical Committee­FIG Women's Technical Representative

Changes in JUDGING OF COMPULSORY AND OPTIONAL VAULTlNG­SUMMARY OF PENALTIES FOR COMPULSORY VAULTING

Application of "0" score to a compulsory layout vault: 1. If a horizontal or bent hip vau lt is executed - which means

insufficient elevation or degree of pre-flight - the vau lt will not be scored "0. "

2. It will be penalized according to the specif ic deductions given in the listing of fau lts for that specific compulsory vault. (It will not be penalized by 0.5 for performance of the wrong va ult.) Penalty Changes : Layout vault performed at the horizontal 1.0 deduction Layout vault performed below the horizontal (p iked) 3.5 de­duction.

3. The vault will be scored "0" if an en tirely different vault is executed: a. For performance of a stoop vau lt when a form of the strad­

dle or squat is required. b. For performance of a st raddle vau lt when a form of the stoop

or squat is required. c. For performance of a squat vau lt when a form of the st rad­

dle or stoop is required.

Application of penalty for insufficient elevation of a compulsory horizontal vault:

Horizontal vault performed with bent hips - 2.5 deduction. Application of " 0 " score to a compulsory vau lt executed with higher ele·

vation: Example : Compu lsory - horizontal squat; executed - layout squat

1 . The va ult will not be scored as "0 " 2. The vault will not be credited for the greater pre-flight 3. The vau lt will be penalized by 0.5 (to encourage the perfor·

mance of the exact compulsory vau lt)

SUMMARY OF PENALTIES FOR OPTIONAL VAULTING The gymnast must announce the optional va ult to be performed, by

selecting the corresponding jump member accordigg to the International Table of Vaults and then showing the card to the judges. Calligg the va ult to the superior judge would be sufficient, unless otherwise specified. If a different vault is performed, the superior judge will announce the point va lue o'n which 011 judges must base their score.

Vaults over 9.0 If the called and performed vaults are two different vaults, the vault per­

formed will be the basis for the score. A 0.5 deduction will be taken from the va lue of the vault performed.

Vaults 9.0 and Under (Straddle, Stoop, Squat) The gymnast will call the vault "without the designation of the type of pre­

flight (layout, horizontal, bent hip)". The vault executed wi ll be scored ac­cording to the specific point value announced by the superior judge.

New paint val ues for vaults 9.0 and under :

Straddle Layout: 9.0 Horizontal : 8.0 Stoop Layout : 9.0 Horizontal : 8.0 Squat Layout: 8.5 Horizontal : 7.5

Pike: 5.5 Pike: 5.5 Pike: 5.0 .
