Gymnast has experience, talent Ann Carr pleases many crowds By BARB SHELLY Collegian Sports Writer ' Last Saturday night a Penn State gymnast pleased onlookers at Rec Hall by performing a tsukhara vault, which to most of us is better described as a cartwheel and a back somersault. She scored a highly-applauded 9.4. Three years 'ago Ann Carr, competing in Bulgaria with the U.S. team, performed the same feat and liit'ceived the same score. The meet was held up for 20 minutes while the outraged audience booed the judges. "At that time it was kind of new," Carr said of the vault. She said only three gymnasts competing in the World Championships had attempted that stunt What did Ann think of the crowd's reaction? "I ,* liked it. I thought it was kind of neat," she said. "I've always liked to please the crowd a lot. Even if I was in Bulgaria or Russia or somewhere." Carr certainly pleased the crowd here Saturday night. In her first meet for Penn State, she was the all-around winner as well as the high scorer in every event. Ann has been at Penn State before, though. After Tithet U.S. World Championship team returned from Bulgaria in January, 1975, it came to Penn State for a meet against West Germany. That was the first time gymnastic fans here witnessed Ann Carr win the all-around. Carr's gymnastic background goes a long way back: to the day a harassed mother signed a very 0 energetic nine-year old up for ballet and tumbling at a local Rec Center. "I liked the tumbling, it was something I was good at," Carr said. Her instructor recognized this fact and referred Ann to coach Bill Coco at the Man nettes Club in Philadelphia. Jan Anthony and 'Joanne Beck, two more Penn State all-arounds, are II also products of this excellent club. AP's All East college football team yesterday Collegian photo MTRF:MURFkLS Snyder takes overtime By TOM McNICHOL Assistant Sports Editor With no time remaining in last night's battle for first place in Dorm League A at the IM Building ab solutely nothing had been settled as Snyder House and Elk House had waged a frenzied battle that had produced a 31-31 deadlock. A little over two minutes later Snyder had reeled off six unanswered points to give them a 37-31 victory and sole possission of first place. It was a tremendous come-from-behind win for Snyder, who had fallen behind by as many as seven points in the second half, and a tough loss for an Elk squad that featured a tough defense and a physical style of play. Good defense and cold shooting by both teams marked the early going and the score stood at 8.8 for the fourth tie of the game. Elk then went to man-to-man Bulls whip Sixers; Flyers settle for tie CHICAGO (AP) Mickey Johnson scored 18 points, Scott May pumped in 16 and the pair combined to hold Julius Erving to just nine points last night, helping the Chicago Bulls to a 101-88 National Basketball Association victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The victory, before 19,690 fans, the largest crowd ever to attend an NBA game in Chicago, extended the Bulls' winning streak to three games, their longest since Feb. 14, 1974. The triumph also was the Bulls' fifth in their last six games, a spurt that came on "Bill always told me that if I wanted it; I had a lot of talent," Ann said. She went national for the first time in 1971. placing fifth in the Junior Nationals held in California that year. Three years later Carr placed third in the Elite Nationals (an Elite Performer is one of the top 36 in the country), and earned her spot on the World Championship team. After the meets against Bulgaria and West Germany, the U.S. team traveled to Russia in April, 1975. There, at the Riga Invitational meet Ann placed fourth in the all-around. She won bronze medals in the vaulting and parallel bar competition. The winner in that meet was Russia's Nelli Kim, a celebrity in last summer's Olympics. Carr also remembered a meet in Arizona last February, when the U.S. team competed against Romania. There, the all-around was won by the now-famous Nadia Comaneci. Ann's parallel bar routine was scheduled immediately after Nadia's: a hard act to follow since the 14-year-old was awarded a perfect 10.00. She rose to the challenge rather well, however, scoring a 9.7. "She's something else," Carr said of Nadia. "She has so much confidence for her age and so much difficulty in her routines. It was an experience just to watch her train." Ann's biggest achievement in gymnastics so far is the record she set in the Pan American games, in the summer of 1975. Carr won five gold medals in that meet, more than any other single competitor ever. And she almost hadn't made the meet at all. The 1975 Nationals determined the placing for the Pan American trials, and Carr was unable to compete in the Nationals because of, oddly enough, a wart on the finger of her right hand. "I never thought it would affect my gymnastics," full court pressure that caused numerous turn overs. By halftime Elk had taken an 18-14 lead with Delbert Riley and Jim Feeney (six points apiece) showing the way. Rich Hospodar (8 points) led the way for Snyder with some hot outside shooting. The beginning of the second half was much like the first as the score was generally tight with Elk occasionally spurting ahead. Then Elk's Brian Zeger went on a six point tear, mostly on fast breaks, and Elk had a 30-24 lead. A technical on Snyder's Bob Miller gave Elk its biggest lead of the night at 31-24. Then Snyder began its comeback. A basket cut the lead to five. A technical on Elk cut the lead to four. A jumper by Hospodarcut it to Iwo. Then Snyder's Frank Scapetti made a steal at midcourt and passed to Chuck Russ for the heels of a 13-game losing streak. Pinpoint shooting by reserves John .Laskowski and Cliff Pondexter helped Chicago, which led by as many as 20 points, build a 73- 58 lead after three quarters. Philadelphia outscored Chicago 12-2 in a three-minute stretch, closing the gap to 81- 71. But a driving layup and a 20 foot basket by guard Wilbur Holland gave Chicago an 87-74 lead with 3:04 remaining and 76ers' Coach Gene Shue began clearing his bench. Erving scored seven points in the first quarter but was stopped until hitting a bas- Ann said, and explained that when the wart was removed her finger swelled so much she was unable to perform. "I was petitioned through, fortunately," she said. Fortunately indeed. Carr went to Miami, won the trials, and went onto set her record in Mexico that summer. Unfortunately though, it was another injury, a sprained ankle, which interfered with Carr's chances at the trials for the Montreal Olympics. "It hadn't really healed at the time of the trials," Ann said. "I didn't have too much confidence when I went into the meet and I felt a lot of pressure." Maybe in 1980? "Four years is a pretty long time. I can't really decide right now," Carr said. She does have two immediate goals, though. One is to compete in this summer's college cham pionships. Carr explained that only four girls, all Olympic material, are chosen. "I'd like to win a medal, but I don't know," she said. Ann's other aspiration is for Penn State's team. "We're all working hard. We look forward to the season," she said. "We all have a big goal; to win the national championship." After competing nationally, against the likes of Olga Korbut, Nelli Kim and Nadia, how did Carr end up at Penn State? "I don't know. I'm glad I did," she said. "When I was here at the West Germany meet, I thought it was a really beautiful school. It has a good gym, good coaches. I wanted to come to a big school. "When you're a Penn State student competing for Penn State it makes quite a difference from when you're competing for the U.S. and you're in Russia. "This Saturday the scores didn't matter too much. It wasn't a high-pressure scoring meet. I was more into just performing well." Three Lions take honors Dorsett tops NEW YORK, (AP) Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett of the University of Pittsburgh was named to The Associated Press All-East college football team yesterday for the fourth year in a row. Dorsett was one of four repeaters on the 1976 squad, including Pitt teammates Jim Corbett, a tight end, and middle guard Al Romano, and defensive end Nate Toran of Rutgers, who made the team for the third time. Peter Cronan of Boston College, who made the first team a year ago as a defensive tackle, changed positions this season and was relegated to the second team as a linebacker. Pitt's Panthers, the Lambert Trophy champions and the No. 1-ranked team in the nation, as well, dominated McVay official Giant coach now PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. (AP) John McVay, who started the 1976 season as an assistant coach with the New York Giants and ended it as the man who turned the club around will be head coach for the next two years. The one time head coach of the Memphis Southmen in the now-defunct World Football League took over the Giants' an easy two and the score was tied at 31. A missed foul shot by Snyder's Kenny Goga and a last second shot by Scapetti that fell short left the score at 31. Snyder had , the momentum, however, as the, two minute overtime period started. Chuck Russ gave his team a lead they never lost with a driving, twisting layup. Another basket and two single foul shots rounded out the scoring. The Snyder team and its fans in the balcony of the IM Building were over joyed and they had good reason to be. "This is the first big game that Snyder House has ever won," Snyder's "coach" Lee Emenheiser said. "We're always losing the big game and coming up one game short."

Photo by Eric Polack Ann Carr performs the vault which won a 9.4 from judges and propelled the fresh man to all-around honors Saturday night against the University of Massachusetts. The Daily Collegian Wednesday, December 15, 1976 All-East list reins on an interim basis when Bill Arnsparger was fired with the club winless in seven games. He guided the team through a 3-4 second half and, in the process, won the enthusiastic respect of the players who almost unanimously called for his rehiring. Their call did not go unheeded. Yesterday he was given a two-year contract to coach the National Football League club. In fact, according to Giants President Wellington Mara and Director of Operations Andy Robustelli, there was never any queStion that McVay would be back. "From the time he took over," Mara said, "we were rooting for him, rooting for the team to do the things that would warrant keeping him as the head coach. And they worked out just that way." - The primary thing was that the players responded to the 45- year-old McVay, and the way the fans responded to the players. "Watching the players," McVay said, "I saw men suddenly playing hard, going all out, playing with aban don . . . really having a good time. And of course we started winning a few games. "But I don't think it wasn't necessarily the wins that the fans found most important. It was seeing players putting out as hard as they could. I'm pleased, really honored, that the players said they wanted me back, that they were backing me. But more important to me is the way they played for me." McVay said his first step "is to firm up the assistants, to put together a coaching staff. I'm going to start on that right now and hope to get the job done by the end of the month." He didn't say which assistants might be staying or going and whom he might try to hire. And after that, McVay said, "we've got to sit down and decide our priorities, to determine where we need the most help and in what order. We'll say, 'We need this, this, this, . . . the list gets very long. "As for the draft, I'll be very involved in it if there is, in fact, a draft. And we'll be drafting for position."
