Sophomore Joe Fedorchik is the oackup man behind Thor on all- around. As a high school senior Fedorchik won the Pennsylvania all-around title and is seeing a good deal of action with the squad. Perhaps the only flaw in the State lineup is on the trampoline. Rick Murhata, a sophomore from Colorado, is heading an inexperi- enced squad. "The squad has been hitting in the middle 25s and with a good showing they should push 26,', Szypula added. Pitfall The trampoline, MSU pitfall, is Michigan's forte. Here the Michi- gan trampoline squad of Wayne Miller, Dave Jacobs, and George Huntzicker will have to build a commanding lead. All three are in good shape and rested for the meet. Although the Wolverine gym- nasts have shown occasional flashes of brilliance, they have never been able to fit them to- gether.

After three days, the National Professional Lacrosse Association has just overcome its perfidious' amateur competitors and taken control of the sport. In other words, it has just gone into the black, forestalling what had been widespread predictions of bankruptcy. Well, the truth (?) is, somebody bought a ticket. That gives the league $2.50 in profit so far. A reliable source says this will last at least until one or more of the owners invests in some of the minor essentials, like player contracts, court rentals, etc. The current profit is indeed a good omen for the league, whose Eastern Division will include four Canadian cities and Detroit. The game the association will play, by the way, is box lacrosse, Indoors. This is not field lacrosse, which made the state of Maryland famous with its Navy-Johns Hopkins duels. Nor is it anything like squash or- squash racquets. Or jai alai. As soon as the game is invented, in fact, The Daily will publish, a complete description of it as a service to our readers. Actually, that's not altogether true. The reason we can all be sure that the sport does exist is that the Canadian National Junior champions will comprise the nucleus of one of the Canadian teams. No - the problem is, Americans are just a little bit unin- formed about the sport. The nut who bought the ticket will now have to figure out not only what day and what year he bought it for, (assuming the league does get off the ground), but what season of the year as well. It seems kind of funny, but the capitalists invading this unknown sport seem strangely honesf and forthright - though foolish - compared to the devious creatures surrounding amateur "ideals." Skip around things like sex tests, the NCAA-AAU feud, the open tennis controversy, football recruiting violations, and Negro boycotts in sports to force people to give them "equality". Let the whole thing be summed up by Yuri Machin, Soviet sports head, who on the eve of the Winter Olympic games came out with the following n support of the ideals of sports without ulterior motives: "The Soviet sportsmen are profoundly disgusted by Ameri- can aggression in Vietnam. It is inhuman that the world's youth should die on battlefields instead of competing pacifically in sporting events." and membership on the Pan Amer- ican team. "This season Thor is an inspired performer. He was great in the Pan-American games and is really looking forward to the Summer Olympics where he hopes to be one of the seven gymnasts who will make the trip. The Spartans, however, are by no means a one man team. "We have great depth in all positions and this could be the key to the team's success," added Szypula. Loaded MSU is loaded in several events. The still ring Coach Szypula con- siders the nations' best.
