EAST LANSING - Just as
Minnesota coach Fred Roethlis-
berger and Michigan coach;
Newt Loken had predicted, the
final three optional events pro-
duced no change in Friday's
score and Minnesota hung on
to capture the 1976 Big Ten
gymnastics championship be-
fore 300 appreciative fans in
Jenison Field House yesterday.
The Gophers nipped defend-
ing champion Michigan, 420.35
to 418.15. Illinois finished third
with 408.05 points, Wisconsin
took fourth with 378.75 and:
Michigan State wound up in fifthj
place with 375.90.
IT WAS THE eleventh gym-
nastics crown for the Gophersl
in the school's history and the!
first since 1949. Winning with a
score of 400 or more points en-
ables the Minnesota team to
travel to Philadelphia next
weekend for the national gym-
nastics championship.

sult ends the Olympic year sea-

their 1975 crown.
"The seniors are very dis-
appointed," Loken said. "We'
were up against a team that1
was just super this weekend."
Consistent is the adjective
which best describes Minne-
sota's performance. Led by the
meet's two top all-around fin-
ishers, Tim and Jeff LeFleur,
the Gophers grabbed the lead
early into the compulsory ses-
sion Friday and never relin-
quished it throughout the two-
day affair. The Minnesota tum-
blers scored 210.00 points in the
compulsories and 210.35 in the
optionals.
"It was an individual effort
by nine guys," a low-keyed but

ger said of his team's perform-
ance. "They realized that the
best team effort was a great
individual effort." Jeff Tim for the top honor. {

never once gave up its lead.
With 23 seconds left in the gameI
and the score 59-53, Saginaw
canned a pair of baskets to
move within two but could do
no more as the buzzer sounded.1
"We played a fine game,"
said Catholic Central Coach
Bernie Holowicki. "We really
struggled and it's hard to be-
lieve. Now we're not a sur-
prise anymore."
The Shamrocks dominated
the contest in rebounding, 45-
37, and also outshot the Trojans
46 to 40 per cent. Richard Kaye
led CC with 9 rebounds, while
Paul Roby paced Saginaw with

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Tim
Shaw smashed the American
record in the 1,650-yard free-
style and the Universityrof
Southern California locked up
its third consecutive team title
at the 53rd NCAA swimming
and diving championships at
Brown University last night.
Shaw's time of 15 minutes 6.75
secondstbettered the mark of
15:09.51 set by John Naber of
USC last year.
Finishing second, nearly one
full lap behind Shaw, was Ron
Orr of Southern California in
15:25.89. Steve Furniss, also of
USC, was third.
GREAT BRITAIN'S D a vi d
Wilkie set an American open
record in the 200-yard breast-
stroke, ending John Hencken's
domination of the event.
Wilkie, who swims for the
University of Miami, clocked a
2:00.73. The time was faster
than Hencken's American rec-
ord of 2:00.83, but since he is
not an American citizen he
could not qualify for that record.
Hencken, who had won this
event the past two years and
champion in the 100-yard breast-
stroke three times - including
Friday night-finished second in
2:01.72. Kip Virts was third in
2:04.29.1
Jeff Noury of Syracuse wasj
fourth in 2:05.30, Duncan Good-
Shew of North Carolina State was
fifth in 2:05.42.
Going into the last two events
of the competition, the three-
meter diving and the 400-yard
freestyle relay, Southern Cali-
fornia had an unbeatable 366
points. Tennessee was second
with 198 and UCLA was third'
with 191.
