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.

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.

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."
Much of the credit for the
victory must go to

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."
