Gymnasts By JEFF SAUKAITIS Collegian Sports Writer The men's gymnastics team fi nally received the news it had long been anticipating Tuesday when it captured a bid to the NCAA championships scheduled for April 12-14 at UCLA. Since each of the four regions must have at least one representa tive, the first bids went to Penn State in the East and Southern Illinois in the Mideast, while Okla homa will represent the Midwest and UCLA the West. Six . other at-large bids were awarded, in order, to Nebraska, Minnesota, Ohio State, lowa, lowa State and Illinois. Two alternates New Mexico and Brigham Young were also named. Penn State Head Coach Karl Schier said the major criterion for selection was national average score taken from five meets, at least three of which had to be on the road. However, won-loss record, head-to-head competition, and ear ly vs. late season performance were also considered. On the sole basis of national aver age, the Lions turned in the fifth best score. UCLA's 281.58 average was the highest, followed by Ohio State (279.75), Nebraska (279.47), Oklahoma (279.01) and Penn State (279.00). The Lions are the lone represen tative from their region, and Schier was extremely pleased that they were chosen as the top team from the East. "Obviously we are very excited to be selected for the NCAAs," Schier said. "It was a foregone conclusion to some extent, but it's nice to know that the selection committee picked us, especially as the leader in our region." receive bid to NCAA Lion gymnast Bill Stanley recorded a 9.9 performance on the pommel horse against Temple earlier this year.
