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.

If there were a tie involving any of the other teams, the team or teams which had most recently gone to the tournament would be eliminated.

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- ously licking stress and fatigue prob- lems similar in scope to those found in aircraft design.
