Jacobs is the guy one hears about whose father was in the Air Force and died while his son was a child. The son grows up, finds a goal in life, and pursues that goal by taking on odd jobs. Someone finally discovers him and gives him his big chance. He succeeds and then owns the world. Believe it? It's true - well almost. Jacobs doesn't own the world, but he does hold every major trampolineI title.

Though born °in Shey- boygan, Wisconsin, Jacobs moved while very young to Amarillo, Texas when his Air Force father was transferred there. He joined the Boys' Club when he was 11. It was there that he had his first encounter with a trampoline. The club had a tumbling pro- gram which offered trampolining after passing a series of tumbling prerequisities. As Jacobs said, "I don't think I ever wanted to do anything as much 'as get on that trampoline." In his zeal to pass the tumbling exercises, he became the best tumbler in the club. He also be- t Jacobs improved under the coaching of Nard and he eventu- ally began to teach classes. Through him, Jacobs was able to learn many new techniques. When Jacobs was a junior, he wanted to compete in the na- tional AAU trampoline champion- ship. Unable to afford the trip, he was about to abandon the idea when Nard again came to his res- cue. This opportunity proved to be the biggest break of all for Jacobs. Against the Big Guys He traveled to Kingspoint, New Yolk, for the competition. Though ony a junior in high school com- peting against mostly college gymnasts, Jacobs still placed third in the tournament. Because of his accomplish- ments, he was invited to tour with the Wonderful World of Sports, a group touring the east- ern United States to raise funds for the American Olympic team.

Jacobs' freshman year here was rather dull because he wasn't al- lowed to compete. He. did enter the World Championship where he placed fifth after a missed routine, and successfully defend- ed his AAU title, won the year before. Last year, he came on the team as the number two trampolinist, behind Wayne Miller, the previ- ous year's NCAA champion. Ja- cobs and Miller alternated vic- tories throughout the season. When the Big Ten Meet was held, Jacobs pulled away, eventually winning the NCAA title. That summer he again defended the NAAU tramp title and won the World Championship, held in London. Jumping Future Jacobs' hopes for the future still lie with the trampoline. He graduates the same year West Point's gymnastics coach will be leaving, so he could conveniently fulfill his military obligation as its new coach. One or two years as a profes- sional may follow, then on to a job with the Nissen Company, a maker of gymnastics equipment. But, if a coaching offer should come up, Jacobs can perhaps help some other athlete as he him- self was once helped. - A4 ri. - ABA Eastern Division Be- W L Pct hind Pittsburgh 39 21 .650 - Minnesota 39 22 .639 1 Indiana 30 33 .476 10%/ New Jersey 30 33 .476 10/2 Kentucky 26 34 .433 13 Western Division New Orleans 39 22 .633 - Denver 33 25 .569 4V2 Dallas . 30 25 .545 6 Oakland 20 35 .364 16 Anaheim 21 38 .356 17 Houston 20 39 .339 18 Yesterday's Results New Orleans 106b, Houston 97 New Jersey 1z1, Oakland 110 Minnesota 99, Indiana 96 Today's Games Anaheim at Denver New Orleans at Dallas Minnesota vs. Indiana at Dayton Sta rt your tan now!

You can help your school and its conference by offering your support to the cause which now occupies the center stage. And if you can't, or won't help, don't cower in a corner or venture into the protecting night to propel a hastily-considered brick. If this issue dies, Big Ten officials would probably be more than hippy to let it drop quietly and without a fuss. But there is a definite and imerndiate need for a general housecleaning in the Inter- collegiate Conference. Hypocrisy and false pride have no place at Michigan. or her sister institutions which make up the most prestigi- ous conference in the country. I met a teen-aged friend of my sister when home recently, and routinely asked him how school was going. "Well," he sighed, "I can't complain." What I should have told him is that you get lots of time to learn that in college. And not just learning how to complain, but learning what to complain about. Have you really stopped to consider the real reasons for your condemnation of this issue? Well, nobody is going to come after you if you fail to respond. But the case is out in the open now, where it belongs, and it must be fought out to the bitter end, no matter what the end result. This is the purpose of a free press to-bring significant issues into the open-and the duty of every person in a position to make a useful contribution. Your task now is to decide whether the matter can be allowed to slip away, or whether a real and rational solution to the problem should be sought. And you don't have to be 21 to vote.
