The optional competition begins tonight at 7 with the team finals starting tomorrow at 1 p.m. The in dividual event finals will be held tomorrow night at 7:30. . Here's a team by team rundown of the seven qualifying teams (exception Penn State) : CALIFORNIA (BERKELEY) They are the defending NCAA champs, and are picked as favorites again this year. They had a strange sewn in that they lost every dual meet this year with perhaps the most talent of any college team.

The State College Home of Lcifayeiteßadio Electronics & Shopping Centers meet, and is backed up by AA's Tom Weeden and Mike Dußois. Actually all members of the team except two are AA's, but coach Harold Frey believes that Beach will take home the cham pionship. "I will say that even if all the AA'a hit their tricks perfectly, and I'm including Peter Kormann, Kurt Thomas and the rest, To - m Beach should still win it," said Frey. LOUISIANA STATE Definitely a strong con tender for the championship. Although their regional scores were low compared to what the , coach feels they are capable of achieving, they had almost no competition from the rest of the league and were not pressured to win by a high score. Their top ' AA, Mike Godawa, is a sophomore All- American, but he will have a tough time of it against Kormann, Thomas, Doug Griffith, Beach and Penn State's Gene Whelan. NEBRASKA Coach Francis Allen expects his team to crack the top three, and many consider the Cornhuskers the dark horse in the meet. Larry Gerard was the Big Eight AA champ, finished fourth int he Olympic trials, and has a good chance to place in the finals if he hits. Second AA Gene Mackie was fourth in AA last year at nationals, and is an All-American candidate. ARIZONA STATE Arizona State comes to the meet with the lowest qualifying score (400.85) but Coach Don Robinson emphasized the absurdity of ranking by scores. "I think in this meet, with all teams champions, anyone can win," he said. "I don't put a lot of value in NCAA gym on the qualifying scores because we all come from different areas and the judging is certainly dif ferent. I suppose because of our score we might be considered the black sheep to win, but black sheep win sometimes too, you know." . Personnel include L.J. Larson, a strong contender on the pommel horse, Craig Kirby, ranked high in floor ex, and high bar specialist Herb Hansoh, whb could also take home first place. ' CAL-STATE (FULLERTON) Fullerton has come a long way in recent years, and in only two years in Division I battled their way to the nationals. Vault specialist:Sam Shaw is just about the best'in the college ranks, second only to Kor mann. Rick Rude is right up there for an Winalist, although his goal in the meet is to score 106 points, which is the qualifying score for the final Olympic trials. MINNESOTA Many fans have just gotten over the initial shock that Minnesota actually defeated Michigan in the Big Ten regionals. But it did, and the Gophers have an excellent all-around in Jeff Lafleur. He is the best vaulter in the Big Ten,•and a Nissen award finalist. Side horse vaulter Dan Jarosch and ringman Mike Wilber could qualify, too. TEMPLE Best bets are AA Tom Kovic in the vault and high bar, where he runs second to Kor mann. Gary Kulick was the E.I.G.L. side horse champ last year. The host school has been getting some flack from visiting coaches since they feel the seating capacity at McGonigle hall is far inferior for the type of crowd the NCAA's could haVe drawn at other gyms.
