Lions 2nd after compulsories
California leads
By LAURIE KARDON
and BRIAN MILLER
Collegian Sports Writers
California (Berkeley) is the leader in the 1976
NCAA Gymnastics Championships after the
compulsory exercises, compiling a score of 212.35
last night in Philadelphia.
Penn State is second after the compulsories,
marking up a team total of 211.90 in the first session
of the three-day tourney at Temple's McGonigle
Hall.
Nebraska has placed third with a 209.50; LSU is
fourth with a 209.30; Minnesota filed in fifth with a
202.15; Arizona State is sixth at 199.45; Cal State-
Fullerton has a 189.55 and the host school, Temple is
eighth with a 189.50.
Tom Beach of California-Berkeley is the leader in'
the all-around race, having compiled a score of
54.40. Penn State's Gene .Whelan is second with a
54.05. Nebraska's Larry Gerard is third with a 53.65.
Southern Connecticut's Peter Kormann was
fourth in the AA with a 53.45. Kurt Thomas of
Indiana had a 52.95.
The NCAA Finals continue today and tomorrow.
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. Top
all-around, Tom Beach, is ranked number one in the

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.
