Jim Hopper of the Badgers is
rated in the top three in the na-
tion in the still rings. His 98 score
in Wisconsin's dual meet with
Michigan which the Wolverines
won narrowly 60-52 should mean
that he will challenge, Michigan
State's Dale Cooper for the top
spot in, that event.
Pete Bauer is an excellent tram-
polinist for Wisconsin. He beat
Erwin and Sanders in the dual
meet, but his score was only 94.5.
Judging from past results the win-
ning score in the Big Ten Meet
will be around 98.
Ohio State is generally weak in
all events except for trampoline.
The Bucks have two bounders "who
might score well and complicate
things," says Loken. Ian Jarrett
and Jim Collins have been scoring
around 90 which might mean a
few points for the Buckeyes. Cap-
tain Gus Leibrock has been around
88 in floor ex which might put him
in the top ten in that event.

whose legs move realistically as he gal-
lops, bucks and rears. Nobody had ever
made such an animal before, so our
R&D people had to solve lots of inter-
esting new problems in the process-
like developing the linkage and springs
that make this brone perform with
equal enthusiasm whether his rider
weighs 35 lbs. or 70, while simultane-

lems similar in scope to those found in
aircraft design.
It's stimulating work. Technically
challenging. Not only in R&D, but in
manufacturing and administration,too.
And, most rewarding-in terms of
both salary and satisfaction. Wheel
spinning is kept to a minimum and a
surprising number of the ideas our
-people propose end up in production.
Maybe because so many have been good
ideas-that are reflected in products
selling at a rate demanding that we
substantially increase our engineer-
ing staff, again, to keep up with our
growth. This opens up some choice
spots for men particularly interested
in finding ways to make things simpler,
better and cheaper..
