YET WITH ALL this new interest in' the sport, recent rules
changes have taken perhaps the most 'spectacular event out of
gymnastics, and have constructed the format for the national cham-
pionships in such a manner that many top teams are excluded while
lesser teams compete.
The first of these changes involves the trampoline as an event.
Ostensibly, the reasons for excluding the event were that it is
dangerous and that it is not an Olympic event. Some also add that the
expense of maintaining the event prohibits many teams from effective
competition.'
The expense of the event is probably the least valid of the reasons.
The way trampoline competition is set up presently, the extra cost
to the NCAA of having the trampoline championships as a separate
event is obvious. And if one were to judge the worthiness of an event
by the cost of the equipment, the'floor exercise should go before
the trampoline. It total cost is the consideration, perhaps we should
reduce gymnastics to the one event eliminated a while ago, rope
climbing, which is obviously less expensive.
As far as the trampoline being dangerous, opponents of the
tramp cite cases of competitors being paralyzed by falling off the
apparatus. Yet the same atletic director who swear, "I'll never let one
of my students on those things," cheer loudest as their brutes bash
heads on the gridiron. Statistics have shown that many intercollegiate
sports are at least as dangerous as the trampoline.
But by far the most erroneous idea is that the trampoline
shouldn't be an event since it isn't an Olympic event. What they fail
to realize is that trampolining is now becorhing an international
sport. If the present trend continues, the event will be on the Olyipic
calendar fairly soon. And if the tramp is eliminated as a part of
gymnastics, well, as United States Gymnastics Federation director,
Frank Bare, prophesized, "I have little hope for the survival of the
event if it is not remade a gymnastics event." The unfortunate result
of this would be that the Russians and Japanese would dominate
the competition, with the American ten years behind them in one
more sport.
To all these arguments to retain the event must be added
one more. That is that as far as spectator appeal is concerned, no
event can touch the trampoline. With the event finally gaining
spectator recognition, it seems stupid to drop the most inter-
esting event.
WHAT IS AN EVEN more glaring error in the sport, however, is
the recent policy of the NCAA to have national qualifications by
conference rather than regional meet. The result has been a gross
underrepresentation of Big Ten teams.
Two years ago, the regional system employed was fair to every-
one except the athletic directors, it cost them too much to send a
third-place qualifier to the NCAA's when he had no chance of winning
the championships. Under the present system, the small schools still
get to send a team to the nationals which have no chance of winning,
it's just that they. don't pay for a regional meet.
Those coaches from the Big Ten who feel that they are being
screwed, have tried to adjust the present system to give their teams
a more equitable chance. The problem with their ideas, unfortunately,
are that they all end up giving the Big Ten two chances to qualify with
nonconference teams getting only one.
WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY fair is the regional approach. What
should be done to solve the money problem is to only qualify two
rather than three teams from each region. At least the ]ig Ten could
qualify two teams if it deserved to, and poorer regions would not
have to send three teams.
This system would be equitable to both the large schools and the
small nonconference schools. It would return the NCAA Champion-
ships to the true "battle of champions" it used to be. In short, it will
be interesting to see whether a lighthined in the face of the NCAA
Executive Committee will help them to see clearly or will blind them.
