Coed Holds A AU GymnasticsCrown Strong Nucleus, J r" spots on scene is a good chance of winning a berth on the 1960 Olympic team. The question arises: How did such a pretty, perky blonde get interested in gymnastics. the mnast.' "I first became interested in g won gymnastics when I 'was a junior Wom- in high school," Carol explained. inter. "I saw the Swedish National many Gymnastic team in action one in her. night and their performance fas- mpeti- cinated me. I had always liked hysical dancing, having taken lessons for n "the five years; but after watching the .ast in Swedish team perform, I. became s given very interested in gymnastics. It seemed to offer so much of a challenge." Carol attempted various routines and soon was practicing with the Central Michigan gym team, whose campus is located in her home town of Mt. Pleasant, Mich.. Developed at Michigan For two years she practiced with the Chippewa squad, and after graduation from high school. she decided to enter Michigan. Here, under the careful tutelage of gym- nastic coach Newt Loken and members of his gym team, Carol has developed into a topflight gymnast.y Carol has also trained in Florida under the direction of Pat Yeager, Women's Olympic Team Commit- tee Chairman. Concerning her immediate goal in gymnastics, Carol said, "I hope to be able to make the 1960 Olym- pic team. I know this will take a lot of work, but I have two years to practice." Aims for AAU Another goal of Carol's is to win the Ntional Senior Women's AAU. Title. She was prevented from entering this year's ,&mpetition by a knee injury. To win this title Carol will have to beat, her rival Ernestine Rus- sell, a junior at Michigan State. Carol will have to be at her very best if she wants to whip Ernes- tine, since the Spartan gymnast won the national title this year and will be the defending cham- pion. "Gymnastics appeals to me," Carol said, "because it is a big challenge for the individual. 'After working 'hard on a difficult routine for a long time, there is a deep. satisfaction when you are finally able to do it perfectly." Works: on Routines B CHUCK KOZOLL "Wait 'til next year" was gym- nastics coach Newt Loken's ad- monition as he began to revamp his lineup in preparation for the 1958-59 season. Dealt a hard blow by injuries to' his key men, Loken was forced to rely on sophomores to fill the large holes in his lineup. The greatest loss to the squad occurred early in the season when Captain Ed Gag- nier, touted as one of the top gym- nasts in Michigan history, suffered a partial shoulder separation which sidelined him for the rest of the season. Despite thescoring potential lost through Gagnier's injury, the- sophomore-laden team' compiled a respectable dual-meet record along with a fourth piace in the Big Ten meet. Major ,.wins were recorded against Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin, Navy Pier and Minnesota. Add to 'M' .Gym Team's I Co-captain-elect Jim Hayslett- proved himself to be quite steady ; in his ability to score points a c key times during the season. A product of the noted Indianapolis Turners gymnastics club, Hayslett earned recognition from Loken,; who noted, "He has shown consis-: tent improvement during the sea- son, especially working on the side-horse." Cole Takes First Leading 'the parade of top Michigan trampoline performers was Ed Cole, co-captain-elect, who. garnered the only Wolverine first place in the Big Ten match. In- jured before the Michigan State meet late in February, Cole strengthened his weak ankle enough to enable him to return to, competition. Moving .in to balance off the scoring potential in this depart- ment were Dick Kimball, who also placed high in the NCAA diving finals, Chuck Clarkson, Frank Newman and Jack Eckle. Nino Marion, a product of Cana- dian gymnastics training, gave Loken cause to smile earlier in the season by" adding to Michigan's scoring depth. Marion, winner o' several Canadian titles, was a strong threat in all events while doing top work in the free exercise events. Wins as Substitute Proof of his. ability to come through at important times came in the Wisconsin meet when he competed in five events as a sub- stitute for an injured teammate. Coming through with his finest performance of the season, the smooth sophomore tooks firsts in free exefcise, high bar and parallel bars while tying.Hayslett on the side horse. Showing himself to be a strong member of Michigan teams for two more years was Wolfgang Dozatier, who led the Wolverines in scoring in the Big Ten meet. Stall Provides Balance 0 E j RLY HOME Six Fill' Gap Instrumental in 'these victories was a six-man nucleus of all- around performers who pushed themselves to .fill the very large gap left by Gagnier.
