Nis- sinen, a strong competitor in almost every event, symbolizes the rising caliber of the West Coast gymnasts, who are currently challenging the supremacy of the midwest performers. By ANDY BARBAS Executive Sports Editor Special To The Oaily SEATTLE-The Big Ten yester- day showed its power in the NCAA gymnastics championships by tak- ing the lead in all six individual events, and qualifying a team representative, Iowa, for the team! finals to be conducted this after- noon. Michigan State's Toby Towsonj led the floor exercise, Pete Mc-! Canles from Iowa led the side- horse, another Iowan, Don Hatch, had the top score on the rings,: Illinois' Jack McCarthy took high spot in vaulting, Michigan's Ron 1 Rapper ran away with the parallel1 bar lead, and a third Iowan, Norm I' Haynie, took the high bar lead. At the same time, Washington's Mauma Nissinen completed his domination of the ,all-aroundt championship title, finishing with 108.20 total. His nearest competi- tor, Bob Emory from Penn State, was over five points behind him. Michigan qualified three of the1 five individuals it sent, and fin-l ished ninth and tenth in the all-t around competition. Dave Jacobsf qualified in the floor exercise, Chuck Froeming on the rings, and 1 Rapper on the parallel bars. Iowa's Bob Dixon, totaled 97.45 as an all-arounder to beat out Michigan's Sid Jensen at 96.50 and Rick McCurdy at 94.275. Iowa placed second to Penn State with a 159.17 total. Penn State had 159.60 while the third qualifier, Iowa State, finished'with 157.05. Both of Michigan's performers in the afternoon qualified with nine point routines. Both, however, didn't leave themselves much margin for error in tonight's com- petition. In the averages of the two day totals, both Jacobs and Jensen were closely pursued. Jacobs tied for second position with a 9.0 routine. The leader in the event was Michigan State's Toby Towson, who out-distanced the opposition with his 9.35 show- ing. Froeming also tied in the quali- fications with three other com- petitors at 9.1 on the rings. The score put him in fifth place, with another Big Ten gymnast, Don Hatch, tying for the lead at 9.25. Rapper performed a nearly flaw- dail sports NIGHT EDITOR: JOE MARKER Both Jensen and McCurdy were flat on the first event, the floor exercise. McCurdy placed fifth among the all-arounders wih an 8.35 tally, and Jensen ended up thirteenth in a field of fourteen with a 8.2. The sidehorse produced almost exactly the same results. McCur- dy's 7.75 put him in tenth and j Jensen's 7.1 left him in twelth for the event.

As I perused The Washington Post the other day in search of some inspiring news from the nation's capitol, I ran across an interesting advertisement. It was sponsored by The M Club and The Terrapin Club of the University of Maryland for the ex- press purpose of luring high school basketball stars to that institution. I have to admit that though the ad hits an all-time low in one of the lowest forms of collegiate athletic activity, recruiting, it did have a cerain flair. In bold letters it is proclaimed that WE WANT YOU AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND and below are the pictures of four of the top prep players in the D.C. area. The manuever is part of new Terrapin coach Lefty Dreisell's cam- paign to turn Maryland into "the basketball capitol of the world." Apparently the method works since one of the four pictured athletes, Jim O'Brien, has already signed a Maryland tender. . Dreisell developed a reputation as a top notch recruiter while at Davidson and has vowed that he will "do anything that is legal to get players." What he really means is that he will do anything that is legal plus anything he can get away with. The reaction to the 'd- vertispment has been violent and protests have flown into the NCAA. However, protests will be useless since Dreisell didn't actually break any specific rule. The only charge that can be levelled against him is that he displayed poor ethics. Of course, a sense of ethics is something that is sorely lacking among most recruiters anyway and the reason is understandable. College athletics are big business and the best players are needed to win. Thus a premium is placed upon strong recruiting. Dreisell and the operation that he has begun at Maryland typifies big time recruiting. After summarily leaving Davidson for the greener monetary pastures of College Park, he immediately sign- ed George Raveling as his assistant. Raveling is a former Villanova and pro player and is highly re- garded as a talent scout. He is generally considered the man most responsible for bringing Howard Porter to Villanova. But Raveling's greatest asset happens to be that he is black. Since southern schools let down the racial barrier, the black athlete has become the most sought after prize in the country. It is a matter of status for the southern basketball powers to have a black 'sar in the line-up. Dreisell followed this formula at Davidson when he recruited Mike Maloy and- is atstempting to do the same at Maryland. Two of the players pictured in the infamous advertise- ment, James prown and Floyd Lewis, are black. Coincidence, huh? Dreisell also knows the value of money in recruiting. At Davidson he had an extremely small budget and only 14 schol- arships to spread over a four year period. He now gets 20 tenders and the backing of a great deal of funds. The $594 needed to pay. for the ad all came out of the coffers of the two main booster clubs of the University, Dreisell certainly has more to work with now than when he used to ride around in a station wagon to see high school players and then sleep in the back with a gun by his side. Dreisell in particularly and coaches in general can't really be blamed for their tactics, though. It is the emphasis placed on win- ning and the possession of star players that makes the recruiting game into a war. Actually, Maryland may have found a good way to keep college scouts from hounding prep athletes. Schools can just advertise and won't have to spend the time and money involved in visiting all of the top prospects. Of course, the obvious solution would be for the colleges to emulate the pros in all respects and establish a common draft. Since they all pay similar wages to their athletic slaves, a draft would certainly be a more equitable solution to the talent hunt. Besides, think of what it could do for college basketball. I'd like to see what would happen to UCLA if John Wooden had the 500th draft pick for three straight years. He might be forced into using Snoopy in the backcourt. And then just think of what would happen if another Lew Al- cindor came along. Over 200 college teams would lost every game in an attempt'to get the first draft pick. I really think that such a system has merit. It would spread out the talent, make the game more interesting, and eliminate the need for such shabby recruiting devices as newspaper adver- tisements. It's only too Pad that the whole scheme is impossible. After all, college athletics are amateur athletics, aren't they? ~~~- WIN SERIES, 4-1: Celts oust 76ers,,93-90 PHILADELPHIA UP)-+-The Bos- ton Celtics staved off a late Phila- delphia rally to edge the 76ers 93- 90 last night and win their Na-! tional Basketball Association East-; ern Division semifinal series 4-1. Boston led by 10 points at 86- 76 with 5:11 remaining and the 76ers still trailed by.. eight with 2:50 left. Archie Clark and Matty Goukas hit four baskets that cut the margin to 90-84. Darrall Imhoff converted a pair of free throws and Boston's Sam Jones collected a foul shot to make it 91-86 with 2:03 to play. Philadelphia's Billy Cunning- ham drove for a basket at 1:49 and HalGreer swished in a 20-. foot jump shot to pull the 76ers within a point at 91-90 with 1:20 showing on the clock. Philadelphia recovered a wild pass by t~ie Celtics' John Havlicek and came downcourt with a chance to go ahead; but Cunningham missed on a jumper from the side. Free throws by Emmett Bryant and Havlicek wrapped up the game for Boston. Havlicek and Don Nelson were the scoring heroes forte sCeltics. Held to five free throws in the BOSTON first half, Havlicek came on to collect 17 points and finish with 22 points. Nelson scored 18 includ- ing nine points in ,the third pe- riod that put the Celtics in com- mand. 'The Celtics won the first three games of the series before losing in Boston Wednesday night.
