Nearly everything, that is. The one thing they lost was the one thing they wanted most, a chance to compete in the NCAA Championships. Even worse, Michigan failed in its bid to become the conference representative to the nationals by; 0.45 points after battling back from a 2.5 point deficit. The final score overall was Michigan 188.55, Iowa 186.55. The final score on the six events which' count for the NCAA's was Idwa 161.55, Michigan 161:10.. Because of the preliminary re- sults, the Wolverines, the Hawk- eyes, and the third-place finisher Illini will compete in today's team finals at 2 p.m. In addition, Michigan has al- ready swept the all-around com- petition and placed a large por- tion of the team in tomorrow's in- dividual competition at 7:30 p.m. Michigan took first and second place in the all-around competi- tion with Rick McCurdy winning with 99.775 points and Sid Jen- sen second with 99.000 points. Iowa's Bob Dickson was third af- ter his 98.65 score.

Unfortunately, the e v e n t does not count for NCAA compe- tition. Then, came a spectacular last ditch effort by Michigan. While the high bar team only could total 26.85, Iowa's four perform- ers all put out mediocre showings and the Wolverines picked tip 0.9 points, coming within 1.10 points of the Hawkeyes. The parallel bars nearly gave Iowa a coronary attack. Jenson had an 8.9, Ron Rapper a 9.25, and Rick Richards pulled a new dismount out of his bag of tricks and nailed a 9.35. Iowa needed a 26.5 total to de- feat Michigan for NCAA qualifi- cation. Fortunately for the Hawkeyes they were able to tally a 26.90 total to slip past the Wolverines. -Daily---Eric Pergeaux CHARLES FROEMING executes the Iron Cross during yesterday's Big Ten gymnastics meet qt the Events Building.
