Modern Gymnast - April 1962 by USA Gymnastics

A NEW LOOK PIONEERED BY NISSEN Compare today's 路car with those of the 1920's. Quite a difference? That's just what you'll see when you compare Nissen Medart's new Chrome line with other gymnastic apparatus. Gleaming, maintenance-free chrome finish, lightweight oval-shaped steel tubing construction (in place of cast iron), finger tip adjustment, easy portability, and traditional Nissen Medart performance make the new Chrome line a lifetime investment for today's schools. This American made gymnastic apparatus conforms to Olympic specifications. Can you afford to buy anything less when it costs no more than ordinary gymnastic apparatus?

Yes! YES! . AMERICAN GYMNASTIC FEDERATION bv Jim Farkas Physical Director Milwaukee Turners With the inevitable revision of the work of the NatIOnal AA U Gymnastic Committee; with the cautius hesitation of U.S. gymnasts a& to whether AAU, NCAA or a new Gymnastic Federation would be the best investment for the future - also a very important problem should be kept in mind whilst searching for an appropriate adminis· trative organ. The AAU Gymnastics Committee unquestionably con· tributed to the growth of American Gymnastics, by leading it out from mediocre isolation, by introducing F.I.G. rules and by doing a commendable job in assembling first class competitive teams (if not always without selfish interests) for international competitions. But, while claiming juris· diction over the entire' sport, it has neglected real develop· ment programs, cared and planned only in terms of inter· national competitors. Its failure to develop National Gymnastic Rules with the purpose of serving the sport also at "its roots; its failure to develop an uniform system of standard grades for youth and adults, and its insistence to enforce F.I.G. rules and techniques for other than International and Advanced Classes shows their incompe· tence in gymnastic educational matters and also their limited administrative capabilities and limited responsibility to the sport itself. Their inability to command respect and win the endorsement of the American Gymnastic Community can be a good lesson for whatever steps and policies will now be adopted. If the NCAA would be trusted to govern the sport, first a few questions should be clarified. Although the Colleges, through their intensified competitive system, have lined up the most outstanding male gymnasts in recent years, it was obvious that they also care little about anything else than College Athletics. The NCAA gymnastic rules are even worse than the AAU rules as far as sound gymnastics development is concerned. Could the NCAA deal with all phases of gymnastic life, gymnastic development? Certainly not in its present form. It just could not afford to handle such an extnesive organizational, educational and adminis· trative assignment. There is, however, a burning need for a vast organization to embrace all the yet organized but in number far larger, fragments of American gymnastic life. Besides the colleges (which are the best organized and consequently the loudest now) there are thousands of secondary schools, Turner Societies, Sokols, YMCAs and independent gymnastic clubs, representing many thousands of girls and boys between the ages of 6 and 60, who are all gymnasts in the true sense of the word. What about them? They all need standard classification, educational material, sound rules, motivating competitive system and equal representation. An organization is needed. Special committees with high educational and professional standards to care for all aspects of gymnastics. But first of all, and this is the only reason I write today, the creation of a standard and graded competitive classification is imperative. Gym. nasts cannot be classified simply as Novices, Juniors or Seniors. Such a system actually classifies nothing; en· courages no beginners, since nobody knows where does it

Jim Farkas begin; discourages oider beginner gymnasts, since there is no provision for them; harmful for the youth, since they are not separated and in most cases creates confusion about actual gymnastic worth, since it contains no standards. Gymnastics does not begin at college age. Most competi· tive gymnasts start early. And only by encouraging early involvement (in secondary educational institutions) can we hope to multiply our numbers and hope for larger selection later. Yet our AA U rules and the present classi· ficatinn is sim ilar to those which are used abroad only for adult gymnasts (lS and over), and as far as judging is concerned those rules are applied by us which are reserved only for the very best few in international com· petitions. This is all absurd; we are not supermen. A sound national system must recognize the following classes: 1. Children (ages 10·12) (No younger ones should compete) 2. Adolescents (l3·14) 3. Juvenile 3rd Class (beginners) (14·1S) 4. Juvenile 2nd Class (intermediates) (l4·1S) 5. Juvenile 1st Class (advanced) (14·1S) 6. Adult 3rd Class (lS·over) (beginners) 7. Adult 2nd Class (lS·over) (intermediates) S. Adult 1st Class (lS·over) (Advanced) 9. Master Class (National Squad) 10. Senior Class (35·45; 46· ) All the Classes from Children to the Adult 2nd Class and the Senior Class should follow a sane national program with national rules, not contrary to the FIG rules, but a modified form of it to serve the needs of those classes. The Adult 1st Class and the Master Oass should be governed by FIG rules and the Master Class (only) should follow FIG requirements. To classify a gymnast in anyone of the" classes, besides his or her age, first of all his performance in the compul· sory exercises must be considered (prepared by a national committee every 2 years). Without these compulsory exer· cises classification is simply impossible, since only by setting standards can somebody be evaluated and placed. It is also important that juvenile and adult gymnasts do not get mixed. Adults should be excluded from juvenile competitions and vice versa, except the Juvenile 1st Class (advanced) who in turn would lose their Juvenile status and barred from Juvenile competitions once they entered Adult Meets. Gymnasts must be given identification pocketbooks, showing their classifications. At each meet their class· participation and the results (in percentages) should be entered for future evaluation of class eligibility. In this r espect we are still very backward and full of loopholes, helping nobody, including the cheaters. This is a scheme, similar to the systems practiced and proved by the most advanced gymnastic nations. No sus· picion is indicated while considering the adoption of an equally useful and sound solution. Finally I would submit my opinion that neither the AAU (at its present organization) nor the NCAA but only an independent Gymnastic Federation could possibly work out, organize and run such a system.

EVENT SCHEDULES: When you have Competitions, Clinics or Exhibitions you would like to have us an· nounce in the M.G., be sure and send. us the notice early so it will be published before the time of the event. Also if yo u hold a successful Clinic or Exhibition rush us a photo and a paragraph of data so we can get it into the next up and coming edition of the M.G. before the news becomes too dated. Remember we can't print news we don't have, so don't wait for someone else to report on your event because maybe they are expectin g you to do it.

COVER : Bob Lynn, 1962 All·Around Winner at the N.C.A.A. Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

MEET RESULTS : As the Gymnastic. season comes to a close, competition results are sent to us from all over the country. In order for us to do a better job of publishing these results there are a few things YO'u can do to help . A good style to follow is to send us the f.acts in as brief and direct form as possible. Instead of pages of ditto results sheets which we do not always have the time to decipher, just send us the Time, Type and Place of Competition along with a few hi-lites of the out· standing performances, the All-Around winners, and the first place individual event winners. You might also mention the names of competitors in the runner up spot. Include with your report an action picture of the All-Around winners. Wallet size, Jumbo Snaps, and 5 by 7 prints are the best size photos to submit with your meet result reports.

SUBSCRIPTION DATA: During the past. life of the M.G. all magazines have been sent out in envelopes with the names and addresses typed on sticker labels. This was OK when we only had a few subscribers, but we have long passed the point where this system was praotical. We now have a small addressing machine and all of the names are put on stencil plates which print directly on the envelopes. We hope with this new addition we will be able to do a more reliable joh of filing, keeping track of our suhscription list and expedite our mailing. If you have not received all of the past copies of the M.G. for which you subscribed for some reason or other (sticker falling off envelope, change of address which you forgot to notify us of or a slip up on our part) please let us know so we can send you your missing editions. Also, if we do not have your name or address the way it should be now, please notify us so we can make the necessary corrections. Do you have a friend who has not received the M.G.s he or she has subscribed for? If so, please let \I S know so we can complete their subscriptions .

NEXT EDITION: Photos and Results of the National Championships for men and women. Another photo sequence routine of a top Gymnast. Plus further facts and discussion on the proposed United States Gymnastic Federation. .

JR. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS J erry Todd's Gymnastic squad from Pasadena City Col· lege (California ) successfully defend ed their title in New York to win the 1962 AAU Jr. National Gymnastic Cham· pionships with 58%, points. Temple University was second with 38% points. Dennis W 01£, lone competitor from Southern Illinois . Univ. was the top All·Around performer and made enough points to have put So. Ill. in the third team spot if they would have been eligible. Gary Buckner from PCC placed second All·Around and Cohen from Temple placed third . The high score of the meet went to Russel Mills from Yale for his Side Horse performance, a 9.8 on the com· pulsories and a 10.0 on the optional to average 9.9. The boys from Pasadena came home with 4 first places ; John Sunderland, Rope Climb; Gary Buckner, Horizontal Bar; Dick Nicholas, Parallel Bars; and Gary Chamberland, Tumbling. Bill Wolf from PCC competing All·Around reo ceived the highest scor e on the Rings, but as he was the 1961 Champion in this event he was not eligible for the award and it went to his brother Dennis who was close behind. Other event winners were, Poteck from New York in the Free·X event and Orlick from the West Side Y won the Long Horse Vaulting.

Hats off to Jack Beckner and the boys from USC for winning the team title, the first time a college west of the Mississippi has done so .. . also, specifi c congrats to Bob Lynn for winning four gold medal s, only the second time it has heen done in NCAA competition. The caliber of competition is improving all the time, with some outstandin g performances on on many events. Free-Exercise had two areas, one with a ru g and one with just the floor. Tendency is toward too much tumbling here. Tumblin g is an essential part of the Free-Exercise, but is bein g carried to an extreme. Many performers opened with round-off flic-flac full twist. and then ran out of gas for a simple back disma'unt. Somewhere along the line they would remember to throw in a handstand or a balance. Judgin g here was split quite a number of times, since everyone seems to like something different. Judging was best ever for this meet, even though there are always those differences . . . of opinion that is ... glad to see tha't there will be a clinic at next year's meet for the judges to practice as a group together ... with the rules definitely now going FIG for the NCAA competition there is even a stron ger basis for better and better judgin g. Lon g horse is now a championship event for the bi g meet . . . might make for a little more work on this apparatus, thou gh it is doubtful. Long Horse seems to be the orphan ever { in the AIlAround, since it is worked when everything else is done. The old standby is that anyone can va ult the Lon g Horse, but as in the case of every other event, it takes many years to develop into a GOOD vaulter. Horizontal bar work this year was excellent. Combinations are becoming more tricky, and difficulty is much better with 4 or 5 C moves for the top notch men the thin g to do. First eight men scored 9.0 and better. Combinations are al so strong on the Parallel bars, with five and six movements in a row before a stop . .. also very good. All-Around men to watch in the future, coming up strong . .. Barak and Hale from SC . .. Larose and Lascari from Mich. U . . . . Mitchell from Southern Ill. ... Lascari very impressive with his style and form , Barak with his form an d difficulty. Greg Weiss dropped dow n this year after winnin g the AA title last year. Greg missed on the Side-Horse, and didn't even compete on the Long Horse, and as a result did not even place in the top ten in the AA. Cooper from Michigan State is the best rin g performer I have ever seen .. . bar none. Liked the ring work all-around this year. They are really hittin g those handstands solid. That's what the judges like to see. Not anyone can do a cross or inverted well, but even less can shoot to handstands without the bob Ie or hitch. T um blin g up again this year after a drought ... at least five back doubles. Interesting that Mitchell,

who won this event, also placed in the All-Around , the first time for such a combination since I don' t know when __ _ any observant M_G_ reader want to fill me in. From the results of a few events such as SideHorse and Parallel Bars, it would be a goo d idea to have twelve qualify for the finals with only the ten places to co unt. Seems sort of siny for a man to get a 2 on an event and still take a ninth or tenth place for team points. One of the closest events was the Trampoline where Steve Johnson, Michigan State, just edged Tom Osterland of Michigan University by % of one tenth of a point for the title. Johnson had a little bit more flash over Osterlands dificulty, the judges liked hi s style and sureness and that's what co unts when they add up the score. From the number of competitors thi s year, there was much discussion on holdin g regional qualifying meets for future NCAA meets_ Another sign of the further expansion and growth of gymnastics throu gho,u t the country.

Contestants at annual Pasadena N ational Invitational

1962 PASADENA INVITATIONAL Report by Charlie Simms Sparked by an appreciative full house and pressured by some of the best meet competition in years, Don Tonry won the all-around title at the recent Pasadena City College National . Invitalional meet. Tonry, representing the New York Athletic Club, posted a 113.S0 score to ed ge Armando Vega (113.45) for the All-Around crown. Art Shurlock was third with H3.40, Bob Lynn fourth with 112.60, Larry Banner (112.45), Fred Orlofsky (l11.S0), and Sam BaHie (110.05 ), finished out the AA scoring. T'he meet was not just an All-Around battle, since Mentor Jerry Todd had gathered some of the best specialists in the country on events along with his stron g team to spice up the performances. Paul Davis from Cal, won the Rope Climb handil y with a 2.9 clockin g. However, the next five places ran ged from 3.1 to 3.4 timings with Leidner taking second at 3.1, followed by Ung of Trade Tech at 3.2, Sunderland and Fourzon at 3.3, and Darnell at 3.4. From the word go in the Free-Exercise, when Art Shurlock, showing much imp,ro vement in this event, scored IS.S0 for the lead off performance, the competitors knew they were in for a hot ni ght.

Each performance was of top notch caliber, with the crowd roarin g approval many times throughout an exercise. Bob Lynn won the event with a supe.rJative routine that got him a 19.6 total from the judges, for a 9.S average. Vega was second with 19.1, Tonry third at IS.9, tied with Banner, and Shurlock with with his IS.S. From here the AA was so close that it wasn't until the final event that it was decided, with the lead changing, and the places moving up and down with each tally. In the next event, Side-Horse, Banner had a bad break to drop down in the scoring, and Bob Lynn also had a slight break to wind up with less than a 9.0 average. Shurlock, up early, put on the pressure with a 19.6 performance. Fairchild of BYMCA finally topped it with an astounding performance to score 19.5 or a 9.9 average to win. Sam Bailie scored 19.5 for third, while Beernick of Pasadena took fourth with 19.4. Fred Orlofsky did a good routine that average 9.5 from the judges, and rated him fifth place on the event. The scores show the caliber of competition. In almost every case, a 9.5 performance was just enough to place, but not very high. The next event, Parallel Bars, carried through the same way. Tonry, with a good routine performed well, scored Jim Fairchild, PNI Side Horse Champ

PASAD ANATIO-- II

Don Tonry, P.N.I., All·Around winner

9.5 and took fifth. Banner did his new mount a ca.ste catch to support, hop pirrouette, drop to immediate peach to support to immediate straddle cut catch to "L" hold - and would have scored higher except for unsureness in his press and handstand hold position, but still got 9.55 and a fourth place. Shurlock worked high and with a lot of flash to score 9.6 and a second place tie. Vega did his flange on the end of the bars beautifully and followed with a solid routine that was a little forced near the end, but still superb to score 9.6. Lynn hit very well with a back flip almost to a handstand to an immediate stutz to a handstand for a 9.75 average and the winning exercise. Vega took the Long Horse with two good solid jumps and a 9.5 average. Banner was second with 9.4, Tonry third with 9.35 and a superlativ giant cartwheel that scored 9.7 - 9.8, but his first vault was down; Orlofsky fourth with 9.15, and Shurlock fifth with 9.0; and the highest stoop from the croup your reporter ha.s ever seen. Bill Wolf of Pasadena amazed the crowd with his startiing routine on the rings that includes at least 6 "c" moves, ending with a dou'ble fly·away, to win handily with a 9.8 average. Vega scored

9.6 for second, with ' Bill Nicholas third at 9.55. Shurlock with a 9.5 and Banner and Orlofsky with 9.4 finished up the scoring. The last All-Around event, the Horizontal Bar, found the first three AA places within tenths of each other. Vega, Tonry, and Shurlock (not in that order ) had to come through to win, and Shurlock had the odds since he was leading. Gary Buckner of Pasadena started things off with a very good routine that got him 9.5 and an evenutal fifth place. And then the pressure was on. Shurlock missed near the end of his routine and didn't place. Stan Tarshis, former national champion worked well, but not as cleanly as usual , netted a 9.65 and fourth. Lynn worked very well and scored 9.7 for third. Ron Barak, who took second behind Lynn in the recent NCAA tourney, knocked off his usual superb routine and scored 9.75 and second. Tonry broke through the scoring column on his pet event, highlighted by his reverse Stalder, and scored 9.8 to win the event and the All·Around. If Tonry hadn't bobbled his dismount, he might have scored 9.9 or higheF. (He took an extra couple of steps). Gary Chamberlain won the Tumbling event, fol· lowed by Martinez of San~a Fe, Betters of LACC, Bennett of Pasadena, and Baldwin of Pasadena.

BALLET for

Gymnasts By Grace Kaywell 3 Tanglewood Court West Palm Beach. Florida

GRACE NOTES Persons dedicated to the arts or sports always seem to find one another. About one year ago I received a telephone call from Mrs. Paul Yushak who was visiting the Palm Beach area from Philadelphia , Pa. She said that she had been reading my column in The Modern Gymnast Magazine and would like to meet me. You can imagine the gymnastic talk that followed our meeting, for I soon discovered that Mrs. Yushak was none other than the former Vera Typowitz, our national tumbling

champion for four years. She held the title from 1939 through 1942. Gymnasts will also remember Vera's twin sister, Nancy, who was runner-up for the Nwtional Women's Tumhling Championship the same years. The twins were known as "The Tumbling Tippys". Nancy is now Mrs. Kosmorsky and is currently assisting with gymnastics .a t the Philadelphia Turners at the Mann Recreation Center. She has three sons, ages 7, 6 and 5, aU of whom are in gymnastic training. Pictured below with the twins is Estelle Alfonso. Estelle is the ballet teacher and is currently teaching at her studio, 368 Main Street in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. And Vera? You guessed it! Mr. and Mrs . Paul Yushak and family, Dorothy 14, Nadine 12, Nina 5 and Andrea 2, are now residents of North Palm Beach, where Mr. Yushak is associated with RCA. The Yushak girls are all disciplined in ballet and gymnastics - even baby Andrea does a handbalancing act with dad. Vera is helping me with my tumbling class twice a week. How lucky can this ballet teacher get? All of us admire and respect a champion, but to have a champion help you teach each week! It's the greatest. She is a real insp iration to the boys !lJnd girls and gives them expert tips from actual experience. We i,n the Palm Beaches are reallly blessed to have such a dedicated artist in our area who gives so freely of her time and talents. How lucky can we get?

P ublished by The F oreign Languages Publishin g H ouse, 21 , Zubovsky Boulevard , Moscow, U.S.S.R. 280 P ages of text plus over 50 pages of ph oto· gra phs.

It is fill ed with personal ity sketch es of the top Soviet Gymn asts of the past two decades, plus trainin g methods and meti culous reports of the las t three Olympic Games and Worl d Cha m· pionshi p cq mpetitions that are fill ed with suspense and evaluati on. Non political in content it read s like a wonder· ful Gymn astic novel. Editors note: We received our copy compli mentary as a gi ft from our friend Ray Va n Cleef, in San Jose, Californi a. Th erefore we do not have a price on thi s publication. However, we have h eard th at complimentary cop ies will be sent to Gym nastic Coaches upon request by writing to the publi sher at 21, Zubousky Bl vd. , Moscow, USSR.

THE FAR NORTHERN GYMNASTICSASSOCIATION By Dick Gaskell This has been our second year of competition with both boys and girls teams competing on an interscholastic basis. Our girls are competing in the four Olympic events plus trampoline and tumblin g. Our league is made up of four schools: Butte Valley High School, Dorris, California coached by yours truly Dick Gaskell; Del Norte High School, Crescent City, California, coached by Bob Springer; Eureka Hi gh School, Eureka, California, coached by Bill Wilber; and Yreka High School, Yreka, California, coached by Ed Louden. We have created enough interest in the past two years so that we have three or four more schools ready to enter the league as soon as they can get all the necessary equipment. The biggest r eason that gymnastics has not spread rapidly in the northern part of the state is because of the lack of gymnastic instructors. However this is the ideal country for the young instructor who loves the out of doors fi shin g, hunting, boating and a clean healthly environment to raise a family. Being a former Los Angeles boy myself, I must truthfully say that I do not regret a minute of the six years I have spent in this country. No smog, no traffic, etc. I would like to extend a challenge to the women Physical Education instructors of California. Women's gymnastics. is one of the most motivating units that they could incor路 porate into their present "not so motivating" programs. Contrary to the "Cultural lagging philosophy in Girls Physical Education", I feel that there is definit ely a place for interscholastic competition in girls gymnastics. We are doing it (thanks to the effvrts of the men instruc路 tors, I even had to take a few ballet lessons) here and have had tremendous success. In our pre路season workouts we went around selling gym路 nastics to as many people in the northern part of the state and in Oregon as possible. We put on demonstrations and assembli es for many schools and groups plus we did a half hour TV demonstration on KOTI in Klamth Falls, Oregon - covering boys and girls gymnastics.

To prepare backwards rotation the hip (center of gravity) must be dropped between the arms; III - IV - V_ After the rotation has started, the hip shall be guided into a pendular swing, by gradually pushing it backw. throu ghout the descent. Finally the knees must be fix ed in the suspension of the pendulum (cen ter of rotation) - between the hands. Face the kn ees throughout the move; VI - VII. When the center of gravity on its semi-circular path reaches a point from where a tangent points upward , the rotation must be stop ped by the pulling of the arms and by slight hip-extension; VIII. The body then will start flying upwards. During this flight the elbows rapidly should be passed over the bars to support the body in its position and , before the h"ip would start its descent, a firm grasp must be secured on the bars. SPOTTING: Throu ghout V路VI-VII-VIII moves with one hand between the shoulder blades and with the other hand on the Sacrum - following the rotation, then pushin g the hip high above the bars while securin g a balanced position and th e completion of the arm-support.

Dear Glenn: Just a line to let you know our 46th Annual Gymnastic Exhibition at the Labor Lyceum Turn Section was a rousing success. Over 400 guests watched the 65 minute program put on by 26 gymnasts, men, women, boys and girls. Although Doris Fuchs was our top attraction, other stars were included. Ex-Temple University gymnast Jo e Ray was impressive on the apparatus. We also had the new high school AllAround Champion Marshall Henry, Tumbling Champion Wayne Jen erson, and Parallel Bar Champ Alan Levine . A big thanks goes to our assistant coaches Bert Vegh and Gene Kolachi for their fine efforts. Since we are a non-profit educational organization we rely heavily on SItch programs to finance our efforts_ (We are sporting a fine new 8' High from Germany as our most rece nt improvement) . Best regards, Pete Bush LLTS Gym Coach Rocltester, New York

Dear Glenn: If you know of any camp directors who are looking for persons with a Gymnastic backgroun d please put nLe in touch with them_ Would be more interested in the East, but anywh ere will do. A brief outline of my qualifications is as follows: My age is twenty-nine years and I am single. The Bacheler of Science and the Master of Science degrees which I hold are both in Physical Education and Hygiene from colleges in New York State. I have a permanent New York teaching certificate and I am now completing my fifth year of teaching. My current place 0/ employment is at Baker _ High School in Baldwinsville, New York where I teach physical education and coach football and gymnastics. I have also coached basketball and wrestling on the varsity level elsewhere. Swimming classes are taught by each physical education instructor as a part of the regular program and I also teach an adult education beginning swimming class as a community se rvice. Salary is not the most important jactor tHat I will use to choose a camping job_ I am more interested in learning about camp administration and general operation_ Ve ry truly yours. Frank E . Soldwedel 1 Walnut St. Baldwinsville_ New York Dear Glenn: Could you please publish a list oj summer gymnastic camps? Location, prices, etc. Jack Hultz Beaver Falls, Penna. ED.: Notice to Gymnastic Camp Directors and owners : Please send u s the time, date and place of your camp.

Dear Glenn: I noticed that in your January 1961 issue you had a listing of several of the top meets throughout the country with dates and places_ I was hoping to see something like that come out this year in possibly the last issue (January '62) but was disappointed_ I

Dr. Martin's new Gym Club

thin k it would help the people putli;nlf on the meets, the prospective parUCLpant, and spectators to get a list like this each year just prior to the regular season say in January or even December, if possible! To include meets such as the NCAA, Big Ten, Western States, Western Conference, N AA U, Pasadena National Invitational, etc. I t would also be nice if you could designate those meets that are for younsters only, college only, and those meets that are open to all gymnasts. As you know it is difficult for a gymnast to jind competition once he is finished with college and one hates to miss those few that are available_ Of course some dates are not available in December or January, but they could be included as soon as you get the information, as long as it is in time for the meet_ Sincerely, Jeryl L. Wright Los Angeles, Calij. Ed_:

Dear Glenn: This is my team_ lvlost of them have to be started from scratch but they're eager to learn. The conditions are ideal. Spring (75°) all year around. Everybody helps in what they can. I have a saw-dust pit for rings and hi-bars, and a nice spotting rig from the rings frame. I coach every evening from 6 to 9 p.m., and am coaching small-fries from 6 to 10 three da)'s a week. In the morning I go to a hospital and do oral surgery_ I plan to settle down here, but miss very much my gym-gang in Argentina. Greetings, Dr. Martin South America

TRAMPOLINES PROTECTED BY NEW VINYL ENAMEL The American Trampoline Company has been experimenting f or several months to deve lop a durable finish to complement their entire line of trampol ines. In close cooperation with the paint industry they found that a combination of v inyl and enamel meets thei r exacting requ irements. The vinyl provides adhes ion ·and the enamel gives a high glossy protection . Controlled temperature in the paint room for spraying and drying produces a long wearing f inish. These finishes are very resi stant to . the elements and stand hard usage. For further information, write the American Trampoline Company, Box 368, Jefferson , Iowa.
