The 1964 meet ma r ked the lost yea r f o r the ground tumbling e vent which is being dropped in favor of providing a more effiCIent and interesting meet for spectat ors and to place more emphasis on fl oor exercise and other international events. The trampol ine ev ent will remain 1/1 competition a s a speciality item. Te am score in Oreg on meets is based on the seven internati onal ev ents onl y. There were no doub le event w inners in this yea r's meet. South Eugene 's Da v e Telling captured the all-around championship after a second place finish lost year.
