SATURDAY. MARCH 1?|. 1969 5 Tourhey Gymnasts Proteges Of First All-Around Champion By JOHNNY BLACK Five of the top gymnasts competing in Rec Hall this weekend are products of one high school and one outstand ing coach—Joe Giallombardo who is also one of the tourna ment judges. Illinois stars Ray Hadley and Bill Lawler, lowa’s Bill Buck and Drew Mawhinney and Southern Cal’s Larry Spiegel were all pro teges of Giallombardo at New Trier High School in suburban Chicago. Giallombardo said it’s lough io be a judge when his former pupils are performing. He said that in a case like this a judge lends lo be over-crilical of Ihem in an effort lo compensate for the nalural lendency lo favor ihem. He said Illinois star Ray Had ley, Big Ten champ as a sopho more this year, wasrthe best he ever coached. “The boy is ex tremely devoted to the sport," he said. The first NCAA champion, Giallombardo held the all-around and tumbling titles for three years, 1938-40. The year he graduated he went to New Trier and began coaching the high school kids. Turning a deaf ear io all col lege offers, Giallombardo has remained at Ihe high school where he "can work in Ihe whole field of physical educa tion and develop youngsters in gymnastics." Giallombardo's aim is to get as many youngsters as possible acquainted .with gymnastics. “The sport is really rising in our area,” he said. “We have an Intramural gym program now with over 80 per cent of the high school boys participating. "The Chicago area is rivaling Los Angeles and Philadelphia for high school gymnastics," said Giallombardo. "We had a stale high school meet last week in which the three lop ringmen would have placed in the top five in ihe Big 10." The Chicago example is indi cative of the rising popularity of fymnastics all over the country. his emphasis in high school is constantly improving the college sport. • * • The Penn State fans came un der fire from several quarters last night for hissing; for applause for lessen Says Braves Will Win NL Pennant By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer BRADENTON, Fla. (/P) | Chuck Dressen may be brash,! outspoken and perhaps ego-; tistical but he is also a solid baseball man and one of the smartest managers in the game. | So when the little Milwaukee pilot said recently that the Dod gers wouldn’t win the pennant again because the Braves would, he was not intending to helittle his old _ club. He was merely voicing his sincere belief. Yesterday, he went even fur ther, “I still think we’re better than the Dodgers. In fact, Mil waukee was a better club than the Dodgers last year, too,” he said. “The only thing the Dodgers had was a stronger defense. They won last year but they won’t this year.

Visiting competitors and coach es acknowledged that the Penn State crowds are the largest andi most avid in the country and their enthusiasm for their own boys was understandable. But as Cal’s Jim Fairchild said, “They applaud the scores rather than the performances.” Southern Cal, touted as one of the pre-meet threats for the Lions' team crown faded fast yesterday afternoon, but little second base and maybe in left field. I’d like lo see whether Wes Covington has recovered from his operation." Covington is still unsigned. Dressen plans to make few j changes on the club that lost the 1959 flag to the Dodgers in off. He is putting a stronger stress on fundamentals such sis perfec ting the cutoff play and accentu ating the steal and hit and run. Other changes include shift ing Eddie Mathews, ihe club's top home run hitter, from sec ond lo third in the lineup, and mapping out a pitching rotation that would provide more work for the younger hurlers and more rest for veterans, Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette. “My idea is to cut down on Spahn’s and Burdette’s losses and, at the same time, make it possible for them to win as many games as they did last year,” he.
