PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. 1967 I THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER Presented by Engineering Council SPEAKERS NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS President Executive Director President-Elect UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Dean Van Wylen Students 'OFTEN DISAPPOINTED': oort' Reaches Peak at Finish By BILL LEVIS Until last weekend gymnastics captain Gary Vander Voort had suffered through a very frustrat- ing season. For the first time in seven years, the Wolverines had not won the Big Ten gym title slipping to sec- ond behind up-start Iowa and Vander Voort was the Michigan captain, and he felt responsible for the relatively poor showing. And to top that, 'Voort' had a personally disappointing season Time: 3-5 P.M., Thur., Apr. 6-Place: Rm. Coffee Afterwards 3R&S, Union Jll 01967 SLuE BELL INC. failing to meet up to his own standard on his best event for the past seven years, the parallel bars. Vander Voort, as Michigan's all- around man, works on all the events except the trampoline where the Wolverines are over- flowing in talent but he concen- trates on the rings, high bar and the parallel bars. The 'p' bars have been Voort's favorite events but this year, it has caused him nothing but trouble. As he explain it "up until this year, I did all my swing moves first on the parallel bars with my < strength moves (such as his one handed-hand stand) at the end This year, I decided to try to change that traditional style and use the strength moves in the be- ginning. > "It worked out in practice all right but I only came through t with it against Michigan State. I just seemed to tire out in the end° in the other meets." It was after the Big Tens that : Vander Voort reverted back to his old routine. The business ad- GARY VANDER VOORT, Michigan gymnastics captain, goes ministration major had had a through his routine on the still rings, one of the six events that good meet in the Big Tens on all he participates in as the Wolverines' all-around man. 'Voort' was his events except the 'p' bars. v He said "I had a lot of time to voted most valuable gymnast by his teammates as a sophomore think about the bars on that seven and as a junor. hour car ride back from Iowa. Hadj it been somebody else who had Vander Voort was especially and even my side horse improved been making the mistake, I would disappointed with his perform- though I am still weak in it. It's have told them because that's my ance on the 'p' bars because it's just the parallel bars that didn't job as captain. But I'm captain. his favorite event. "My rings and improve. It's like doing well in all No one told me." high bars have improved this year your subjects in college except your major. You just aren't satis- fied with your performance." After the conference meet, Vander Voort went back to his old routine but old lady luck was still against him. At the regionals in Wheaton three weeks ago, Vander Voort performed an almost perfect rou- tine until one of his hands missed the bar. As he put it "there's nothing you can do about a freak thing like that." 'Voort' still qual- ified for the nationals on the rings. While he has had his share of minor injuries this season, 1967 is the first year that the Arlington Heights, Ill., senior has not been injured seriously. Last year, he missed much of the early season because of a sprained wrist, tore .shoulders and then dislocated finger. This year, he has suffered from a sprained ankle and jammed shoulder but he has been able to go through with all of his routines except for the floor exercise which he only does occasionally. Recovery At the finals in Carbondale Vander Voort showed that he had recovered from his minor injuries when he scored a 9.05 on the high bar, and 8.85 in the 'p' bars and an 8.75 on the rings. Still, the scores didn't satisfy him for he feels he should be averaging above nine on all his events. ° As he put it "because we only have three men on the parallel bars and side horse, you even can't go for just the 9.0. You've got to go for the 9.2 or 9.3. This is because there are only three men and if one missed it puts the whole team at an extreme disad- vantage." Vander Voort has had his share of successes while at Michigan. In both his sophomore and junior years, he was voted most valu- able gymnast by his teammates and last year, he finished second in the Big Ten in the all-around behind Michigan State's Dave Thor. And then there was the team's confidence in electing him cap- tain. "I was pleased by the team's vote as captain and I've tried to do the best job I could. Maybe I tried to fire the other guys too }much." Still .., Still Vander Voort ha nothing but praise for his team. "There are a lot of little scrppers on our team and each man came to teNCAA's knowing what he had to do and did it. I'm proud of the entire team. It was a tremendous team effort. "The team did the best we could, we had the ability." Before the meet he emphatically noted that "the team is due for a good meet, over due." And in the nationals the team certainly came through. a~ * .'r1" ;,voipeo . . . . . . . . . ."":5 YT::}; . . ;;:2't .;y.:.: Sr :im ".:: rr. .:*aa......at.. ::":' ::tit:. {: ?:~'f \t/+:{.:::..f:::{F.::':..:n'S 't ::7::1. dJj:{:f::.+'::7 {""7y::{t~7,. y :r i' }' °i'r '$t: t::t t~:+ V.{j'"":r:t:j't::"f i L: :ett Sr::Y" 'i+ l: "L""ii. 0:r' y V .y:rrs n ::+t" r,,J a r 5 .7;1:.7:;f'; {ffy f ..' .
