Jacobs is only the number two trampolinist on the Wolverine squad but has he been trying hard to become number, one, Jacobs is number two only be-^ cause world titlist - Wayne Miller competes on coach Newt Loken's defending Big Ten champions. . Miller is also the number one trampolinist in the Big Ten and the nation but Jacobs showed last month that the Lafayette, La., native is not number one by very much.>:. In the United States World Cup trials in Florida over the winter4 holidays, Jacobs finished only five- hundredths of a point behind first place Miller. Both will represent the United States in the World championships in London this June. All World Titles And Jacobs has quite a few championships to show to his credit. Between him and Miller, the duo hold all the major tram- palning titles in the world. Jacobs holds the winter NAAU, Gymnast Di Midwest Open, and Nissen cup titles. Sprinkle this in with a fifth And Jacobs finished fifth in the in the World championships in world cup last summer only be-' Miller's home town last summer cause of a missed routine in the and a second in the summer final competition. He hopes to NAAU and it is evident just how make up for that finish this sum- formidable the Michigan sopho- mer in London. more really is. Start in Amarillo Jacobs began his tumbling and trampolining career back in Ama- rillo, Texas, as a high school I ERSisophomore when he joined the RS1TYNard's trampolining club. The Nard's club has turned out several OF DETROIT strong trampolinists who have since come to Michigan. The best so far, is, of course, Jacobs. Through the tramp club, Jacobs Ga rmon and went to the 1964 NAAU'sin Kings- port, N.Y., where he finished third. S u There he met Eddie Cole, a grad- ' fun k I uate student at Michigan, who has since coached Jacobs to an AAU -errrrrr ;title. In December, he solidified that claim when he returned to the U.S. to capture the Midwest Open in Chicago, a crown Miller had won the year before. Jacobs noted that for the past 11 years or so, the tramp title has always been won by a Michigan gymnast. Last weekend, Jacobs started his run towards challenging Miller's Big Ten title when he recorded a 9.65 out of ten in taking first against Indiana in a dual meet in the Sports Building. Still, winning is not the most important thing for the Texan native while he is competingfor the Maize and Blue. Jacobs ex- plained that, "More than anything, I am Just proud to be a part of the team. Wayne and I try to fin- ish one, two, to benefit the team." Jacobs. who also performs on the long vaulting horse and in free, exercise, hopes to turn professional after college for a few years. From there, he hopes to teach. Gary Erwin, former Michigan NCAA title holder, just turned pro and Jacobs hopes to follow in his foot steps touring the country. Other Thoughts Right now, however, Dave Jacobs has his mind set on the Big Ten season and from there the World championships. He will have plenty of competition for both and mainly from his teammates. While Miller won the Big Ten title last year, it has been almost forgotten that a Michigan junior, Vic Conant, finished second. Per- haps it will be one-two-three this season. The World championship is next, something Jacobs appears longing for with eager eyes after his dis- appointing, at least to him, finish last season. His chances look good except for one stumbling block, his friend and teammate Wayne Miller. 1, )ave Jacobs the fine points of trampolining. It must have worked, for the next winter Jacobs won the NAAU title. Since enrolling in Michigan in the fall of 1965, Jacobs has work- ed closely with world champion Miller. As Jacobs put it himself, "we're the best of friends. Still, I, always work hard to beat Wayne. It's human nature to want to win. It is especially frustrating finish- ing five-hundredths of a point behind him in the world cup trials.". Jacobs proved his claim as one of the best trampolinists in the world last November when he won the Nissen Cup in competition 'with most of the top gymnasts in the world. ,f 4~ Till you've tried ULRICH'S Ann Arbor's friendly bookstore (By the author of "Rally Round lthe Flag, Boys!", "Dobie Gillis," etc.) IT'S A NORTH WIND THAT BLOWS NO GOOD Crushed between the twin millstones of January weather and final exams, you are saved from total des- pair, poor devils, only by the knowledge that winter vaca- tion will soon be here. Where will you go this year? Will it be Florida again, or are you tired of jails? Then how about Puerto Rico? A most excellent notion, say I. A balmy and bounteous Island with long white beaches and blue, blue skies and green, healing seas. And, most pleasant of all, -the warm and gracious people of Puerto Rico! You don't even have to know'Spanish to communicate with this friendly folk. Just learn three simple phrases and you'll get along splendidly: "Buenos dias" which means "Good morning," "Gracias" which means "Thank you," and "Que serd serd" which, means "Your llama is on my foot." In order to help you enjoy the fabled land of Puerto Rico it would be well for me to supply a bit of historical background. (It would also be well for me to say a fe words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be- cause the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades pay me to write this column and they are inclined to sulk if I omit to mention their product. Of course, they don't stay gloomy long, for they are kindly, cheery men fond of Morris dancing, spelling bees, and temperance punch-fine, upright types, as true and gleaming and durable as the blades they make. And if you've tried Personna's, you know how true and gleaming and durable. that is! And if you haven't tried Personna's, poor devil, you've cheated both your purse and face, for Personna's last and last, shave after luxury shave, close, clean, nick- less, hackless, tugless, gougeless, scratchless, matchless. Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades come in Double Edge or Injector style and are made only by the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades.) But I digress. Back to the history of Puerto Rico. The island was discovered by that popular discoverer Chris- topher Columbus. Incidentally, considering Columbus' popularity, it's odd we know so little about him. What do we really know? Only this: He was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451, the son of Ralph T. Columbus, a knee-cymbal vendor, and Eleanor (Swifty) Columbus, a low hurdler. He was an only child except for his five brothers and eight sisters. From early childhood he was an avid reader and spent all his waking hours immersed in a book. Unfortunately, there was only one book in Genoa at the time-Care of the Horse by Aristotle-and after 18 years of reading Care of the Horse, Columbus grew restless. When rumor reached him there was another book in Madrid, off he ran as fast as his little fat legs would carry him. Disappointment, alas, awaited him there. The only book in Madrid was Cuidar un Cdballo, which proved to be noth- ing more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse. Then one day Columbus heard from a traveller that there were millions of books in India, and he was in- stantly ablaze to set sail. Off he ran on his little fat legs to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella (Columbus, though more than six feet tall, was plagued with little fat legs all his life) and, as we all know, he persuaded the Span- ish rulers to outfit him with three stout ships, the Flopsy, the Mopsy, and the Cottontail, and the rest is history r.,.
