Sophs Rewrite Rebuilding Script
By ANDY BARBAS i
Last year, the gymnastics team
advanced to the NCAA finals and
turned out to be the second best
team in the country. From this
team, seven members were lost
because of graduation. That
meant that this year should have
been a rebuilding season.
But this year's sophomores tend
to change the outlook. Five of
them in particular are going far
towards filling the vacated spots. '
Sid Jensen, because of his ver-
satility, is the most promising of
the foursome. A member of the
Canadian Pan-American and Pre-
Olympic teams, Jensen is also the
most well-known.
Jensen specializes in nothing: in
other words, he's an excellent all-r
around gymnast. His best event!
is vaulting, although his scores
on the parallel bars and high
bar are not far behind.
Loken Praises
Coach Newt Loken is so pleased
with Jensen that he intones, "Sid.

to compare to other Michigan.;

ICKER AND JIM DeBOO have
caused by the loss of over half
to the role of top man on the
side horse. Jensen is the Wol-
trampoline and side horse.
He has consistently scored above
9.0 and scored a 9.45 against West-
ern Michigan.
Rapper felt that his biggest year
of improvement was his freshman
year. He noted, "In your freshman
year, you are able to learn tech -
niques you never dreamed yot
could do, and you are also able
to improve your style and fine
points of your routine."
Frosh Improvement
Another sophomore who hails
from the Chicago area is Jim De-
boo. He has been hampered by in-
experience this year, even though
he has been leading the Wblverines
on the side horse. While he has
placed consistently above eight
points, he has been unable to break
the 9.0 barrier. Loken, however,
feels that, "He just needs the co~r*
petition and experience before he
lives up to his potential. I think he
should be much improved by the
end of the season."
Loken added, "In general, the
sophomores are doing an excellent
job of filing in the void left by the
graduating seniors. Evei thouglh
they slipped against Iowa, I think
we should be able to recover and
overtake Iowa in the Big Ten
Meet."
In evaluating their potential,
Loken prophesized, "Any three of
them should be able to win in*
dividual Big Ten championships,
and they have a good chance of
eventually taking an NCAA title."

P-Bars
Third of the sophomores, Ron
Rapper, is a nationally-rankedl
parallel bars competitor. He fol-
lowed the traditional path to gym-
nastic fame in hailing from the
city which all gymnasts seem to
come from, Shokie, Illinois.
As a senior he was pursued by
colleges from all over the nation,
including Iowa, Oklahoma, Penn
State, Indiana, and Illinois. He
narrowed his choices down to
Michigan and Iowa, but finally
settled on Michigan because of its
academic reputation.
His competition in the parallel
bars this year has been excellent.

"I never feel like a rookie"
"Sure it's my first year with B&W, but I've been too
busy to think about that. I've been working in my field
all along. and the training sort of blends right in."
It could be the beginning of the good life.
"And what" you ask, "is the 'Good Life'?"
Well, working for a living, now that you're
about to graduate, isn't exactly heavenly bliss.
But joining a company noted for its human
qualities-its concern for the advancement of
thing you'll look back onwith pleasure, the
rest of your life.
How about it? What can you lose?
