We followed the enclosed chart t o place the various teams in slots. I figure we had 439 ro utines performed in 3 112 hours . The evening finals were set up just li ke the NCAA finals with the best 8 men per event. We hod about 400 people for the prelims and a bout 1200 for the final s. The routines in most cases were very good . It took a , sco re of 9 .0 in most cases to get into the finals.

FRANK HAILAND MEMORIAL Western Open Age Group Championships The first Frank Hoiland Memorial Championships were held at Son Franc isco State College in close cooperatio n wit h the Berkeley YMCA. It was felt by all that the meet turned out to be a very fitting memorial to Fron k due t6 the fact that there were over 300 individual entries, including entries from the powerful Seattle YMCA from Washington where Fron k taught for some time, and entries from Nevada, Utah and California . The prelim inari es and final s fo r girls a nd bays 14 and under were hel d in the morning .
