Gyrnmen off to UCLA for NCAA Championships

Collegian Sports Writer
The long wait is finally over for the
men's gymnastics team.
Four weeks ago, when the Lions
finished their regular season, they
began centering their attention on
the National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation championships. From to
night through Saturday at UCLA's
Pauley Pavilion, Penn State will be
competing for a team title it last won
in 1976.
Terry Bartlett.will be the lone Lion

ten qualifiers for the team
championship will take the floor,
and the top three squads will battle
Saturday afternoon in the
championship tri-meet. Individual
event finals are scheduled for Satur
day night.
Penn, State should face stiff com
petition from its nine opponents
UCLA, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illi
nois, Ohio State, Southern Illinois,
Minnesota, lowa and lowa State.
UCLA is a strong favorite to capture
the title, and the Bruins have the
luxury of competing on their home
floor.
Although Penn State Head Coach
Karl Schier admits UCLA will be a
tough team to beat, he said Penn
State expects to fight until the finish.
With consistent performances from
everyone and a little luck on their
side, Schier has not ruled out the
possibility of a Lion victory.
"We have a slim chance to win
first place," Schier said. "If UCLA
is having a rough time and every
thing is going extremely well for us,
then I think we have a chance to win.
It's the best team I've ever taken to
the NCAAs, and we're hopeful to
make it to the tri-meet.
"If we do that, we'll just let the
chips fall in the finals," he added.
"Once you're into that tri-meet, it
gets scary. Anything can happen."
Penn State has gone to the tri
meet finals the last two seasons,
finishing third in the nation both

Ballesteros opens defense today
By 808 GREEN
AP Golf Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. Seve Balleste
ros faces an international field of 87
challengers and the threat of week
end showers as he opens defense of
his title today in the 48th Masters
golf tournament.
The 27-year-old Spaniard took a
low-key and less-than-optimistic
view of his chances of becoming
only the second man to win consec
utive titles in this prestigious event.
"It is very difficult to win any
tournament two times. It is even
more difficult to win in one of the
majors," he said yesterday.
"I am not playing the best I can. I
am not very consistent. I just do the
best I can and hope I can get away
with it.
"I think I can win, but I am not
100 percent," said Ballesteros,
twice a winner of this title and now
a full-time competitor on the Amer
ican tour.
He pointed to Tom Watson, Jack
Nicklaus and Andy Bean, a winner
last week in Greensboro, N.C., as
the major contenders for the covet
ed green jacket that goes to the
winner of this event, the first of the
year's four major tests of golfing
greatness.
Watson, twice a Masters winner
and five-time British Open cham
pion, indicated he has solved the
problems that sent him spiraling
into the worst slump of his career
early this season.
"I'm playing better. I'm starting
to play well," Watson said. "I'm
playing well enough to do well in
this tournament. I'm playing well
enough to win."
It was to Nicklaus, who holds
almost all the worthwhile records
offered in golf, that Ballesteros
devoted most of his attention.
"He is playing very well this
year," Ballesteros said. "He likes
fast greens. And these greens are
very fast. Like glass. Very quick.
Almost too quick. Someone will
miss the green with a putter.
"And he is very, very patient.
That could be important."
Nicklaus, 44, who counts five
Masters titles among his record
collection of 17 major professional
victories, has not won this; season
but has been in title contention in
six of his last 10 starts.
"I've had a good pre-Masters.

Qualifying teams for NCAAs were
chosen mostly on the basis of their
average score in five meets, at least
three of which had to be on the road.

misleading. He said the Lions had to
compete many times this year while
injuries kept key people out of the
lineup.
However, Viscardi said that situa
tion gave many performers colle
giate competition experience in a
wider variety of events. As a result,
he said this year's squad probably
has more depth than teams of the
past.
"Last year, we weren't as deep as
we are this year," Viscardi said.

"We won't have to use our eighth
and ninth men until the last two
events. If one of the five- or six-event
men get hurt, then we can fill in with
almost no loss of score."
The reason for the added depth
this season has been the outstanding
performances of the five freshmen
in the lineup. In Schier's tentative
starting lineup for tomorrow night's
preliminary round, Mike Maxwell

working five events.

the Lions will handle the pressure
situation of facing powerful UCLA
on their home floor for all the mar
bles.
"We talked to them (the team)
about it just to make sure we cov
ered it," Schier said. "I have quite a
bit of confidence in this particular
team. They seem like real fighters to
me."
Shelley said strong team unity,
with everyone helping one another
all season long, should pay dividends
now. He expects the Lions to score
much higher than they ever had
during the regular season.
And Viscardi said it is perhaps
that unity which causes the individu
al performers to sacrifice personal
goals in order to help the team.
"It would be nice to win the ring
title, but I try not to let that get in the
way of team goals," Viscardi said.
Bartlett begins his quest to gain
all-American status in the all
around tonight. But the Lion with the
best chance to come away with an
individual title this weekend is se
nior pommel horse specialist Bill
Stanley.
Stanley finished fourth in the pom
mel horse at NCAAs his freshman
year, but the title has eluded him
throughout his career. He enters the
meet this year with a 9.92 qualifying
average, best in the nation.
