NOTES FROM THE EDITOR THE MG IS STILL ROLLING! Thanks to the many readers (individuals and organizations) who took our plea to heart (see letters page) the MG is still rolling along and we hope to survive and build as the year progresses, We want to thank all who contributed to the continuence of the MODERN GYMNAST as well as those who yet intend to do so. Someday in some way or other we will show a more tangible thanks for these that have gone beyond their subscription support to make the MODERN GYMNAST a continued reality for thousands.

SUGGESTIONS: Along with monetary contributions and encouragement, we received many helpful suggestions that we have already started to act upon. Many felt that the four color covers, though artistic and desirable could be used with less frenquency if it would help hold down the production costs of the MG at times. We will follow through on this and when we have covers that lend themselves to pro· duction in two colors (as this current one does) we will do so. Still others were of the opinion that we give away too much, that we should be charging a fee (even nominal) for announcements of all Gymnastic Events where they charge for admission and have a budget to work with. Since the cost of typesetting and space is a definite factor in publishing the MG we have given this much consideration and have decided on what we feel is an equitable policy. We will publish FREE OF CHARGE all announcements of National or regional interest (competitions, clinics, camps and conventions) in a coming events column, listing the Event, Place and Date. Other additional information requested by the sponsoring group (staff members, event scheduling, fees and 'registration) will be carried in our Classified or Display ad sections at our regular (very reasonable) advertising rates.

Our special thanks to all of you who sent in constructive suggestions, we will take heed of your advice and cut corners where we can (without taking away from the quality of the MG), tightening our belts and commercializing our services wherever possible and practical.

THIS EDITION: Highlighting this edition are eight pages of Subject and Contributor indexing tediously compiled by our hard working Associate Editor, Mr. A. Bruce Frederick covering the past ten years of articles appearing in the MODERN GYMNAST .. .

However, there are still several articles we could not find room for at press time that will appear in the NEXT EDITION along with reports from the four different Winte r Gymnastic Clinics.

Scenes from Indiana Clinic

COLUMBUS SENiOR HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASTIC CLINIC REPORT R eport by fohn Hinds, Gymnastic Coach On November 12, 1966, Columbus Senior Hi gh School conducted a Gymnastic Clinic for Indiana high schools. Over 200 gymnasts, representin g 17 high school s, were in attendance. The gymnasts were ably directed through their workouts by a staff of 20 outstanding gymnasts and coaches.

Members of the clinic staff included: Jim Curzi, former Michigan State gymnasts and a NCAA champion; George Szypula, Michigan State Coach and 1966 Coach of the Year; Dr. Otto Ryser, Indiana University Coach; Jim Brown, Indiana Un iversity As· sistant Gymnastic Coach; Roger Counsil.

Indiana State University Coach; Tim Phil· lips; Indiana University Gymnasts; and Indiana State University Gymnasts.

As a result of the superb effort of th e staff and the active participation of the gymnasts, this first Indiana high school gymnastic clinic for competitors was de· clared by all to be a resoundin g success.

To say the least, the gymnasts left inspired to develop their routines for the first state meet to be sponsored by the Indian a High School Athletic Association on March 25, 1967, at Warren Central High School in Indianapolis.

DEPEND UPON ONE'S SELF Newt Loken, Gymnastic Coach University 0/ Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.

Two years ago (1965) in one of my fr eshman physical education classes, a young man named Keith Cooley had his first encounter with a trampoline. He was extremely well coordinated and after much hard work on hi s part, I was glad to add him to my varsity gymnastic team the fol· lowing year in 1966. During that season, he was able to develop a routine that placed him in the finals of the Big T en Meet and thus moved him into the NCAA Gymnast ic Championships. Keith was outstanding in yet another way, for he was the only negro gymnast on the team and in the Meet itself!

This young man's great sense of humor was always in evidence. Once in the midst of taking pictures of the team, he quipped, "Well, here I am in living color".

At the national meet, the biggest in the U.S.A., with aU the top trampolinists present and he a newcomer with but a year's experience, it was no wonder the excite· ment and pressure of the situation finally got to him and he became a very nervous young man. He was so nervous he had trouble sleeping and was disturbed by un· pleasant dream s. The morning of the big meet, looking somewhat tired, he said, "Coach, I couldn't sleep last night". I com· mented that it was the sa me with many of the other athletes. He then said, "But Coach, I dreamed all night long. I reas· sured him that he probably wasn't alone and suggested that he try to relax. But, he persisted by saying, "But the dreams I had were about me in that every time I started my routine, I went flying off the trampoline after the third stunt. And, Coach the person ca tching me as I flew off was ME!" Keith did stay on the trampoline and was awarded a very fine score.

A MAN DEDICATED ERWIN VOLlE • . . "That Grand Old Man of Gymnastics" . • • passed away on January 11, 1967.

Erwin Volze was born in Frankfort, Germany on September 29, 1890. He . was a tall physically fit young man of 19 when he walked down the gang· plank in New York harbor on October 4, 1910 on his way to attend the Turner Normal School in Indianapolis, Ind. He had already had many years of train· ing in his German schooling and by his father who was a Gymnastic instructor.

Just a few years later he came to Los Angeles, California as an instructor for the Turners , (Erwin was married in 1924-he is survived by his widow, Imogene C. Volze) and has been teaching and coaching on the local and world Gymnastic scene ever since .

Erwin was selected as a judge for the USA Olympic team in 1948 and was an associate Olympic Coach in 1956. He also coached the LA Turners to National Championships in 1953, 56, 57, 58 and 59 with Dick and Jack Beckner, Charlie Simms, Bill Tom , Ken Bartlett, Kenny Barber and Larry Banner just to mention a few of his team members. In 1961 he was chosen to Coach and Manage an exhibition USA Gymnastic team for the State Dept. on tour of the Near East (from all reports Volze held up to this rugged tour better than most of the young gymnasts). Erwin Volze has been an institution in Gymnastics for the past decade and was always present at every National Com· petition or Clinic he could in any possible way get to . (Many times he took the long bus ride to Sarasota, Florida before the Western Clinic started in

1962).

Things won 't seem quite the same in the Southern California Gymnastics scene without the tall straight figure of Erwin Volze to add dignity to the competition events . Whatever his position, Coach , Instructor, Judge or Offi· cial Erwin went by the book. Lonf;{ before many were ever aware of the Official International Gymnastic Federation (FIG) Erwin Volze was using their " Code of Points". When coaching he inisisted on top form and execution, when Judg· ing he was strict but fair and his criticism was always constructive . " Mr. Volze" as he was addressed by young and old alike, was throughout American a legend in his own time . For his tireless efforts and dedication to the sport he had received many special awards . . .' Helms Hall of Fame.

Turner Award, National Gymnastic Clinic Award. Coaches Association Award.

AAU Award and many more. But these few inadequate words and a room full of awards and trophies can never tell the story of Erwin Volze, he' will be long remembered and missc:l by all , . . GS

NORTHERN CALIFO RNIA GYM CAMP CAMP GUA LALA, CALIF. (Berkeley YMCA Camp)

By Bob Peavy and Claudia Larson In its ninth year of operation , the North路 ern Californi a Gymnastics Camp had its most successful cl inic to date. The camp provided top instruction for over two hundred and eighty studen ts in two one-week sessions. The Clinic staff was headed by 45 excellent co aches and co unselors, includin g 10 men and women college instructors.

Guest instructors who added an internat ional fl avor to the clinic were Katuso Yamanaka (High School All Around Champion of Tokyo and collegiate competitor), Andrea Molnar Schmidt (1956 Olym]lic Medalist from Hun gary), and Nils Bengtsson, form er Danish Olympian. These talented teachers, with their broad range of experi ences, all contributed greatly to the ca mp.

Th e jam-packed daily schedule included a twenty minutes warm路up period followed by five forty-m inute in structional classes. A free workout time was provided before lun ch. One hour of rest and recuperation preceded a special daily clinic. Three afternoon classes and a free workout time finished the gymnas(s day.

Sin ce th e Northern California Camp's philosophy lends itself strictly to instruction rather than to competition, special clini cs were presented by ex perts to help the gym nasts learn new moves, spotting and teaching techn iques. Clinics were given by the following instructors : Art Shurlock, UC LA Coach, Side Horse ; Chic Johnson, Chico State Coach, Conditionin g for Women ; Don Nelson, De Anza Hi gh in Richmond , Un even Parallel Bars; Pen ny Lovelock, Miss P enny's Dance Studi o, Castro Valley, Dance and Ballet; Dick Wolfe, Encina High in Sacramento , Conditioning for Men ; Nils Bengtsson, Olympian and Collegiate co ach , Form and Style; Rod Hill, S parks, Nevada Gym Team, Girls Vaultin g; Steve J ohnson, Colorado State University Coach, Trampolin e ; Deana Lorenzen, All Arou nd Gymnast from University of New Mex ico, Balance Beam; and Bill Holmes, Denver, Colorado Hi gh School system, Horizontal Bar. Each year the "power tumblers" look forward to th e opportunity of tryin g double back off the ground . This year was no ex-

ception. Mike Cooper, Sandy Bassist, Tom Bruce, and Kent Umbarber all spun some very hi gh doubles, much to the plea~ ure of the ca mpers and coaches. Along WIth the spectacular tumbling exhibition, there were several new moves attempted and completed durin g the pro gress of the camp. Bill Holmes, on the horizontal bar, performed a Takemoto with an additional 1h twist to reverse grip giants (while conducting hi s own clinic), Bill's classic method of instruction " on the pipe" (as well as his wild moves, sans form) startled even the most advanced gymnasts. Joanne Hashimoto, graduate of Hiram J ohn son High in Sacramento and "scholarshipped" to Southern Illinois University, performed a spectacular German Gaint from the upper bar to a FRONT hip circle on the lower bar several ti mes. J oel Tept, University of California so phom ore, performed a Durham with an additional % twist, as well as other innovation s that have rarely, if ever been seen before. J oel, Fred Dennis, Paul Mayer and " the Master" Art Shurlock all had a hand in thrilling a receptive audience during Art's own side horse clinic.

Each evening special entertainment was provided for the campers. The latest World Games, 1966 NCAA and Olympic movies, plus instructional films, were shown by Lou P erschke-compliments of the Nissen Gymnastics Equipment Company. Also shown was the full length Hollywood movie, "Gidget". Each year the campers are entertained with a talent show headed by master

of ceremoni es Nils Bengtsson. Magic, interpretive dancing, singing, and musical instruments were high-lighted at this annual occasion. Jim Gualt contributed to the festivities with his guitar and verses satarizin g the coaches and staff .. If .it weren't .a movie, talent show, or skIt mght, then It was a ni aht of dancing in Sullivan Lodge.

The ou~standing camp health service saw very little "action" during the two sessions.

Although p~y si cian "Doc" Watts and nurse Martha T suchiya bandaged sore hands and rubbed stiff muscles during the free periods, other weary gymnasts found. that a refreshing plunge in the Gualala River was just. t~; thin g for that "ache-all-over, tired feelmg .

The Board of Directors (Hal Frey, Ernie Marinoni, lrv Faria, Dick Wolfe, Claire J ennett, Jack Smith, Howard . Mo~;ma~: Chic John son, Martha Tsuchlya, Do.c Watts, Roy Davis and Lou Perschke) msured that this year's clinic was the finest, most enjoyable and profitable gwmnastics experien ce that the 280 gymnast-campers ever had.

A special thanks goes to the four equipment companies and their representatives for supplying equipment and ~iving their time to the camp. Thanks Bill Bensen, American Trampoline and Equipment Company ; Jack McDuff, E. P. Finigan Company; Jack Woolery , Gym ,Master Company; and Lou Perschke, NIssen Corporation.

CANADIAN REPORT

by Johnnv Nooney 18 Lavington Dr. Weston. Ontario HERE AND THERE C.O.G.A. Mr. John Hunter, Sokol Club, Toronto, was elected recently as the President of the Central Ontario Gymnastic Assocs. Having known him for the past few years, I am confident that under his leadership gym. nastics will continue to grow in Central Ontario. Congratulations, John.

OLYMPISCHE TURNKUNST Mr. Richard Kihn, one of our outstanding national gymnasts, has been appointed a~ Canadian correspondent to this new puli· cation Oympische Turnkunst. This magazine is published in French and German and any· one wishing to learn more about this ex· cellent magazine, write Richard at 43 MarIe· bone Dr., Etobicoke, Onto Congratulations Rick.

CORRECTION John Lash of Sir James Dunn C. & VS., Sault Ste. Marie was the All Round winner at the O.F.S.A.A. Individual Meet, not Mike Zuke of Bawating C. & V.S., Sault Ste. Marie as was stated in the Sept. report.

THE CENTENNIAL YEAR - 1867-1967 As we begin to celebrate our centennial let us remember that here is an excellent opportunity to promote our Sport by taking part in local displays and assisting other organizations at the provincial level.

Over 6,000,000 Canadian youngsters will take part in a fitness athletic type programme as one of our centennial projects.

Also the Canadian Armed Forces Tattoo will feature gymnastics in their cross country tour. Thus many more thousands of our people will watch and enjoy this great Sport.

I hope that many of our officials will use our Centennial flag at Meets and displays and will encourage Clubs to hold special centennial meets.

Weare fortunate to live in such a great country as Canada. Let us be true oitizens of this great land and actively take part in celebrating Canada's ·centennial year.

THE RUSSIAN TOUR Great credit is due primarily to Dr. Doug Whittle, University of British Columbia for making this tour possible and to the many conveners who were responsible for displays at different centers throughout Canada.

Many thousands of Canadians watched superb performances by the m;lgnificent Russian men and women's' gymnastic teams, consisting of world titlists like Veron in.

Shaklin, Titov, Astakhova, Kuchinskaya and many other excellent team members, a total of twelve, 6 men and 6 women.

All across the country they received standing ovations as they treated packed houses to world championship routines, performed with ease, grace and sureness.

To single out a display or a gymnast would 10

be impossible, as all the performers were outstandin g. It was obvious to all , that the Russian teams will dominate for many years to come, tlie world scene. Their teams have a blending of older experienced gymnasts and young daring gymnasts, a balance so necessary for the winning of world titles.

I would like to thank the coaches and all the team members for the excellent clinics given to our young Canadian boys and girls and for their patience and painstaking efforts" in working with everyone and I literally mean everyone. This kind assistance and cooperation will leave its mark on Can· adian gymnastics for many years to come.

I know our young gymnasts will cherish this experience.

A special word of thanks should be made to the head of the delegation, Mr. Vitali Smirnoff. Vitali did an excellent job in co· operating with local officials. He certainlv can be proud of the · teams, both on and off the gym floor, their conduct was exemplary and was in true gymnastic tradition.

The burden of the tour fell on the shoulders of the interpreter, Yuri Sabirov, who worked so hard to overcome the lan guage difficulty. He was pleasant and patient and he has excellent command of our language. Yuri has left behind many friends in Canada.

Never in the history of the Sport in Canada did such large crowds attend and what is heartening, is that 70% of those attending were teachers and their students. Seeing the world's greatest gymnasts has lit a flame of gymnastics in the hearts of thousands of educators, club coaches, and now let us make this Russian tour the turning point in Canadian .gymnastics. The interest kindled by this tour must now burst into flame.

Ilelow is a personal interview with Yuri Sabirov and the background of the officials and team members who toured our country.

A personal interoiew with Yuri Sabirov, National Junior Coach U.S.S.R.

Q. Yuri, what is the most important phase

of gymnastics, we should be concentrating on to improve our gymnastics in Canada.

A. John. High School gymnastics. You should increase the time allocated in the curriculum and assist the High School coach and the Elementarv teacher to improve their knowledge of the Sport.

Q. Do your national gymnasts come trom schools and Universities or local clubs?

A. Most of our gy mnasts are students of schools and Universities and are also active members of Clubs.

Q. Are school facilities and universitv fa cilities available to non-students? Is there a charge?

A . All facilities are available and free of charge.

Q. Yuri, your coaches have worked with our young Canadian gymnasts across Canada. Do you feel that with coaching and proper support they have the potential for world calibre gymnastics?

A . Yes, very much so, for sure. Our coaches are impressed and especially in the East with the emphasis on all round. at the school level.

Q. Would you personally consider coming to Canada in the future to coach or to run a special gymnastic camp_ A . Yes. I would John, with pleasure.

Q. What would you recommend at this stage of development, a National coach or a Gymnastic Coaches Committee?

A. I would sugge.st a Junior Coaches Committee and a National Senior Coach.

Great emphasis now must be placed on your juniors.

Q. What impressed you the most on the Tour?

A. The warmth and friendliness of the Canadian people.

Q. If you have any adverse comment to make about the tour, what would it be?

A. Eight exhibitions was too many- would have preferred less, maybe five and a shorter time involved away from home.

Q. Do you think the Russian team would consider another tour of Canada in future years?

A. It depends on your officials, whether they would like to invite us or not.

Q. Do you realize that by touring the country, you have contributed greatly to Canadian gymnastics and I thank you and all your tour members.

A. Thank you in turn John, for your personal hospitality and thank the people of Canada for their kindness in your Canadian Report in "the Modern Gymnast", which by the way I enjoy reading every mOf\th.

DORTMUND REPORT By the Canadian Women's Coach Marilyn Savage Canadian Team: Elsbeth Austin, Leslie Bird, Suzanne Cloutier, Sandra Hartley, Irene Howarth and Marilyn Minaker.

Following the selection of the Women's Team to represent Canada at the World Gymnastic Championship, I was fortunate to be able to arrange a training camp for the girls prior to leaving for Germany on September 12, 1966.

The parents of the Scarborough Winstonettes Gymnastic Club kindly offered to billet the girls and the Board of Education for the Township of Scarborough offered one of the school gyms for training. By moving equipment from other schools we had 4 balance beams, 2 uneven bars, and a vaulting horse.

The girls arrived in Toronto for the Canada-USA Meet at the C.N.E. on August 20 and remained here until leaving for Dortmund, Germany.

Our training schedule was from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. with 1% hours for lunch. We worked out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The first week, Mrs. Matty Milne, a ballet teacher, put the girls through a rigorous 1% hours of ballet exercises and dance each morning. We spent the rest of the week getting to know and understand each other, and for me, learning their routines.

We climaxed our training with a demonstration on the Thursday evening before leavin g at which we raised a considerable amount toward the expenses of the trip.

Unfortunately Marilyn Minaker suffered a bad fall on the uneven bars which I believe was partially responsible for her below average performance in Europe.

Because of home and work commitments, Elsbeth Austin was unable to practice regularly with the team. Also Suzanne Cloutier was unable to stay in Toronto for the full time. Unfortunately both incidents affected the team spirit during training, and I would suggest in future that the whole team remain together for all training sessions and as many of the social engagements as possible.

In Dortmund, serious training was difficult because of the public wandering through the gyms and because of the spread of equipment. However the girls got quickly used to crowds watching and were therefore more settled when it caine actual competition time. We were allotted 2 hours a day at a specified time for training and always with the teams that would be competing at the same time as us. On e of the teams was the Russians so we were unable to watch any of their workouts.

The spirit of the girls remained good, even with the hotel and transportation problems, a couple of days of upset digestive systems, and the usual nervous tension that builds up. The latter however, was not a big factor as they all knew they were there for experience.

With regard to the 2 days of co rhpetition, I was pleased with the general performance of the team. The compulsory routines on floor and beam were n eat and precise and were greatly assisted by the Bulgarian pianist who graciously offered his time to our cause both at practice and competition. The un even routines were

smooth and continuous but lacked amplitude in the major moves and vaulting was the weakest, especially in on-flight and landings ! Our five counting scores stayed between 8.5 and 8.9 on all compulsory events which shows the consistency of the girls' work. The fact that we followed the Russians on each event, hurt our marks somewhat and I believed prevented us from breaking 9.0. On the floor exercise I felt 2 girls for sure deserved nines !

Likewise our optional routines were performed without major faults and with efficiency. Floor exercise was our best event with Irene Haworth finally getting a 9.0 average. On balance beam we lacked difficulty. It became apparent watching the other competitors that 8 to 12 moves of difficulty are used. Again landings on the vaults were poor.

The team standings at the end of the compulsories was 13th and although we held this place easily with our optional scores, unfortunately the late evening judging hecame badly out of line and as a result the 14th and 15th teams surpassed us on the totals. The era tic judging occured after the long 2 hour delay concerning Doris Fuchs Brause's uneven bars routine. The girls were very disappointed at the final team standings as they worked long and hard only to see th eir efforts partially evaporate in the late evening. The judges cannot he blamed entirely, for it seems almost inhuman to require them to report for duty at 7 a.m., begin judging at 7 :30 a.m. and fin· ish at 10:30 p.m. with only 1 hour off for lunch. On the day of the optionals, because of the delay they finished approximately at 12 :30 a.m.-a total of 17 hours.

SOME NOTES: Music-Only 5 or 6 countries used tapes at this competition, Canada being one of th em. The gymnasts are definitely at a disadvantage without a pianist, and I suggest for future competitions we consider combining the jobs of pianist and chaperone; providing the pianist has a chance to work with the girls long enough to be of value to the performance.

I nterviews- I had 4 separate interviews with European sports writers. All asked such questions as: How many hours a week does the team train during the year? Did I tra in them all the time? Why did we not have a pianist, substitute gymnasts? How many gymnasts do we have in our National Trainin g session? How long has our team been together? Needless to say them could hardly comprehend our problems here in Canada.

Social Program- While in Toronto, several trips were arranged for the girls but none in Germany. From my experience with the team during our 6 weeks together I feel that planned social activities are very es· sential to the mental well-being of the team. Such a program would relieve any homesickness, boredom, training pressure, competition pressure, worries about physical stamina and errors in performance. I feel more things could and should have been plann ed both at home and abroad. This, I think, would help add a little "sparkle", as Willie Weiler so aptly put it, to the girls' performance which might have given us those nine scores we so desperately worked for.

I would like to thank the other women officials, Miss Fay Weiler and Mrs. Pat Middleton for their constant help during pra ctice and competition and also thanks to Manager Gagnier for putting up with the tardiness of the girls. And finally a special thanks to the six girls who made the trip so worthwhile and memorable for me.

THE GYMNAST'S LIBRARY Except for a very few volumes, the reviews below represent the last of the 1966 crop. We also 路 note the improvement and variety of films now available for instructional purposes. Special compliments to the committee of women in Northern California who have pioneered in the production of a very useful judging film with an accompanying study guide.

In 1967 you will find an appraisal of the "complete" gymnastic book in my column.

Several authors have indicated that their books have never been included in the "Golden Library". Perhaps they should be.

There are approximately ten books on gymnastics for boys and men authored by sincere people who have attempted to produce basic materials for physical education and those beginning coaches and performers who may use their books as a single source to the fundamentals. Therefore in the near future we will evaluate these books according to elements of their content and attempt to make some conclusions about the very best of these.

The girls have been busy, too! By the end of 1967 almost every member of the committees who planned the gymnastics portions of the first and second NATIONAL INSTITUTES ON GIRLS SPORTS will have completed a book or other publication.

Your M.G. for January will also contain a very significant index. Although we have attempted to index all of our articles imnually in the January edition, we have never given special attention to our writers. It will be appropriate to do so in January since at that time the span of years for the Modern Gymnast will have reached over a decade. This special index will cover the contributions of these rather special folk from 1956 to date. You will then be able to locate with ease that special article by Bud Beyer for example and thus save some time you would otherwise have taken in turning pages.

NEW FROM AAHPER Note: For those of you not familiar with AAHPER, you should know that the letters represent a National organization known as the American Assoc. for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. This organization is an affiliate of the National Education Assoc. and is housed in the latter's national headquarters in Washington, D.C. The address is 1201-16th St., N.W., Washington 36, D.C. Completed Re3earch Vol. 8 (Stock No. 248-07728 $2.00 This excellent guide to tbe very latest in research in the fields of health, physical education and recreation includes ten items under "gymnastics" in the current Vol. This research has been completed during 1965. There are over 500 additional references to these completed during 1965 and a comprehensive bibliography gleaned from respected journals in associated and allied fields some of which are foreign.

Twenty-nin e references are included und er the general topic of "movement". This should provide at least a clue to the increased interest in movement as the basic discipline and the unique contribution of the field of physical education.

We r ecommend this publication especially to the gymnastic community so that it might take advantage of corresponding with those individuals reporting research for their institutions related to gymnastics. Most theses may be borrowed on an inter-library loan arrangement and some may be pur12

chased as Xerox copies or mlCrocards. Unfortunately, unless some attempt is made to examine original documents, the majority will gather dust on library shelves throughout the country. AAHPER has provided you with ' the first step . . . finding materials of interest. It is up to you to use them.

Proceedings- Second National Institute On Girls Sports The Second National Institute on Girls Sports was held on the campus of Michigan State University from Sept. 26 to Oct. I, 1965. This report includes all of the major papers and addresses given on that occasion.

Included are seventeen pages of gymnastic materials, some excellent papers in the research and philosophy section, and a list of participants. Track and field and gymnastics were repeated areas of emphasis. They had been the uniquely emphasized at the First Institute in Oklahoma. Diving, canoeing and fencing were added at Michigan State.

The Institute programs have made it possible for many hundreds of girls to receive advanced knowledge through follow-up clinic programs which have been conducted

by Institute participants for more than two years.

BOOK REVIEW Educational Gymnastics - Balance l1eam

by Helen Sjursen Hoctor Records, Waldwick, N.J. 1966 $5.00 This is the most comprehensive book we have seen to date on the subject. In addition to a description of a majority of the most common elementary, interm ediate and advanced movements, the author includes twenty-four combinations glvmg coaches and gymnasts a wide choice from which to design original routines.

Following the combination section a variety of complete routines is included for three levels of skill. We feel that this book merits "Golden Library" inclusion and we recommend the author on her hours of work in the preparation of this volume.

BOOK REVIEW Gymnastics for Men by Eric Hughes Ronald Press 1966 $5.00 This new book is a companion volume to the author's earlier publication, Gymnastics for Girls. The same format of the competitive approach is emphasized. The author describes the development of five routines (novice-advanced) in each of eight events for men_ The book is similar to some materials we have seen produced by European gymnastic federations. These materials have described as many as nine levels of performance gauged by success or failure in the execution of a given exercise at each level.

If Dr. Hughes' book is adopted with this classification system as a basic objective for its use, it will be very helpful in providing performance standards for those coaches and gymnasts who are just getting started.

The last chapter is devoted to team organization and meet administration. Hughes, the University of Washington "Huskie" gymnastic coach has included some very practical record forms and suggests a practice schedule which permits the coach to get the most from his limited time with his team.

BOOK REVIEW Fundamental Tumbling Skills Illustrated

by Charles Keeney Ronald Press, 15 E. 26th St., N. Y., N.Y. 1965 $4.00 Designed lor the beginner, this new book scans the fundamentals of tumbling and presents a peek at floor exercise.

The author has written extensively on the trampoline having previously been the author of two articles for the Modern Gymnast dealing with progressions for the "front and back somersaults. ,Berkeley gymnasts Dan Millman, Art Lloyd and John Ford are photographed more than 100 times as they perform for their author-mentor who had previously coached the Berkeley gymnastic team for a perio,d of twenty, years.

BOOK REVIEW Instructor's Guide to Skills Progressions in Gymnastics

by Don Tonry and Tom DeCarlo Program Aids Co., Mt. Vernon: N.Y. This guide is a more practical, loose-leaf form of DeCarlo's earlier Prentice-Hall publication.

Movements have been rearranged by the authors to describe progressions in one event at a time rather than the multi-event approach of the earlier volume.

In looseleaf form, pages can be easily removed for use as visual aids. Don Tonry's drawings have already been lauded by M_G. editors and readers will note that Don has been contributing quite regularly to the M.G. portions of his series of drawings on parallel bars.

A suggested point value is established for each movement in the book. This system provides an excellent evaluative instrument for classes so long as letter grades (report card grades) are not extracted by its use.

The primary use should be motivational.

BOOK REVIEW A Primer of Apparatus Gymnastics

by Hans C. Reuter and Ernest Gershon Wm. C. Brown Co., Dubuque, Iowa 1966 Both authors have done much pioneering work in gymnastics in the State of Wisconsin. Dr. Gershon is currently a Professor of Physical Education at Wisconsin State University at Lacrosse and has been the gymnastics coach at that institution.

The hook is reminiscent of material produced by the YMCA of North America during the 1930s and much of the terminology which has been characteristic of the American Turners over the years is included as well.

Photographs of an artist's dummy performing various movements are found

throughout the text and are used occasionally in four quizzes in the earlier chapters.

The authors present a sound approach to gymnastic nomenclature in the first of six parts of their book.

The remainder of the book is devoted to elementary and intermediate movements and combinations on the apparatus and one section is especially devoted to movements Ior exhibitions.

Dr. Gershon has included an updat ed version of his knowledge test on gymnastics which first appeared in the Research Quarterly in December, 1957. Another feature of the book is a code system for quickly locating material and a comprehensive bibliography listing gymnastic publications over a span of sixty years or more.

BOOK REVIEW Learning A bout Learning J erome Bruner, Editor U. S. Government Printing Office, Supt. of Document, Washington, D. C. OE 12019 Cooperative Research Project Monograph No. 15 1966 $1.00 A "bundle for a buck" is what you get in this very comprehensive report. Some of the Nation's most distinguished specialists in learning, child development and "cognition" participated in the "Learning" Conference held at Cambridge, Mass., June ]4-28, 1963.

All serious teachers will read this publication and they will attempt to apply the knowledge of portions of the book to their own work and action research.

Some sections having implications for teaching gymnastics are: "Initiating Responses" "Persistence" "Inhibition Factors in Attention and Mastery" "Cognitive Skills' "Tutor and Learner" "The Strategy of Instruction" "Theorems for a Theory of Instruction" In a future edition of the M.G. we hope to elaborate upon some of the material in this report which might contribute materially to the teaching of gymnastics.

BOOK REVIEW Athletic Records : The Whys and Wherefores

by Geo. P. Meade Vantage Press, 120 W_ 31st St., N. Y., N.Y. 1966 Dr. Meade's new book is devoted primarily to track and field and swimming but it should be read by anyone interested in increasing their depth of knowledge in athletics.

Chapter headings include, "Why records are broken," "Statistical studies of athletic records", "The pioneer in athletic studies", "Muscular movement in man", "Minorities in sports" and "An expert takes over".

His interesting format provides the reader with a historical development of many factors which have influen ced athletic performance. It should provide useful information to those who attempt to predict trends in athletics. The author suggests that his collected data reveal that there will be a greater emergence of American and Asiatic athletes in the. future. He also includes a very interesting discussion of racial "superiorities" and explodes some myths in this area.

The book is written in a very readable style albeit replete with statistics and other supportive data.

BOOK REVIEW Rings for Grades 3-8 by Betty Ann Meyer 6060 N. Sacramento, Chicago, Ill. This guide book is an important contribution to the proper use of the rings for children of elementary school age. Development of progressions revolve about hanging and swinging movements. Support. work is carefully avoided.

Betty ~ a regular guest instructor at the National Summer Gymnastic Clinic held annually at Michigan State University. She has had a wealth of experience in the field of physical education at the elementary level.

ANNOUNCEMENT The Mechanics of Athletics

by Geoffrey Dyson Dover Publications (U.S. distributor) 180 Varick St., New York, N.Y. We have recently learned from the author that his excellent book (Golden Library selection) is now available from Dover Publications.

The book has become a standard text for the New Zealand Gymnastic Association clinic program and has been used by diving instructors as well as coaches of track and field.

Sorry about that Frank. Also apologies to Tom.

Seriously, there are a host of applications of the pamphlet including: 1. Making transparencies for judging sessions 2. Making visual aids via the use of the opaque projector 3. Studying mechani cs of various movements. By the way, take a look at the front and back giants sometime and see if you can discover a mistake. One of these was rrinted in ~ ('fre!:tly, PAMPHLET PREVIEW A crobatics Made Easy Acrobatics and Tumbling Advanced A crobatics and Tumbling

by James A. Rozanas 10412 S. St. Louis Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60655 These pamphlets offer suggestions for teaching and learning many of the typically "acrobatic" movements which might be successfully added as spice to floor exercise routines. You will find for example movements such as the "inside out" and "illusion" covered by the author.

Mr. Rozanas has asked us to mention that the maJority of his drawings were made from films in order to get the most accurate visual idea of each of the movements presented.

BOOK REVIEW Report by Jackie Uphues A. Bruce Frederick, WOMEN 'S GYMNASTICS. Dubuque, Iowa: Wm. C. Brown Com pany, Publishers, 1966.

The author is well known for his many articles and book r eviews in the capacity of Education Editor of the "MODERN GYMNAST" magazine and has a previous publication, GYMNASTIC ACTION CARDS, 1965. He has also contributed "creative" gym nastic writings for the 1965-67 DGWS GYMNASTIC GUIDE, the First and Second National Institutes on Girls Sports, and National AAPHER Conventions. Mr. Frederick is currently working toward his doctorate at Wisconsin State University, Superior, Wisconsin.

The first portion of this text discusses the fundam entals of gymnastic knowledge with special em phasis on physics and meclumical principles and then outlines a method of preparation for the body in flexibility and strength.

Chapter 3, " Gymnastic Skills for Everyone" offers a 路comprehensive program for all around gymnastic skill development.

Here in one chapter ( helieve it or not!) are all the movements necessary for progression to intermed iate and advanced gymnastics. These selected sets of fundamentals are analyzed with frequent application of mechanics. In addition, an inter esting section, entitled "Gymnastics in 3D," presents a gymnastic movement cube "as a source of ideas for gymnastic movement exploration."

The reviewer especially recommends Chapter 4, " Spotting - The Detective Work of Gymnastics." As a summary, the author includes a most creative and thought-provoking "Check List For Spotting and Learning Gymnastic Movements" and then uses the check list to analyze a familiar gymnastic movement, the forward handspring. He has developed an ex tremely helpful outline to obtain clues about learnin g and spotting.

There are also brief chapters covering gy mnastic termin ology arid lan guage, the Code of Points and Judging, and a selected bibliography.

Gymnastic enthusiasts at all levels will ap preciate reading the Chapter - "An In dex to Advanced Gymnastic Skill," which captures the four com plete optional routines 13

FILM REVIEW The Training of Judges for Girl's Gymnastics 16mm, 1600', b&w, sound on floor exercise section only- Rental $35.00; Purchase $160.

Order: Gymnastic Project Committee (DGWS), 2241 Hillside Ct., Walnut Creek, California The Division of Girls and Women's Sports (AAHPER) via the gymnastics projects committee composed almost entirely of women in the Northern California region under the leadership of Barbara A. Heisler have produced an excellent tool for the training of judges.

There is nothing to compare to it within the field of gymnastics for boys and men.

Therefore, it represents a unique historical development for gymnastics in the United States. (Ask the judges in the Eastern Intercollegiate League what they have been using for a judges tnfining film!)

This new film is a training device and a test as well. A complete script-workbook accompanies the film. The sample page accompanying this review will give you an idca of the kind of thing you will find in this complete training package.

No doubt others will follow the lead of the girls in their endeavor to upgrade the practice and art of judging but for this first effort we congratulate all of the ladies involved and thank them for their leadership.

Members of the committee are: Miss Juner Bellew, Dr. Blanche Drury, Miss Barbara Heisler, Ch., Miss Barbara Saltzsieder, Mrs. Andrea Schmid, Miss Kathleen Shelly, Miss J orgine Smith, and Miss Marylinda Wheeler.

Note: All of the above are members of The San Francisco Bay Counties Board of Women Officials.

FILM REVIEW 1966 W orid Gymnasticj Championships Dortmund, Germany 8mm Color Women's 420' $30.00 Men's 475' $32.00 Frank Endo, 12200 S. Berendo, Los Angeles, Calif. 90044 Mr. Endo has produced two fine color films in which one might observe the best of the compulsories and optionals of the recent Dortmund World Gymnastic Championships.

You will see the fabulous Caslavska with her consecutive full turn catches on the une·~ens. You will share the concern of the Russians as they puzzle the emergence of two teenagers who have replaced the old standard bearers. They ask, "What happened to our girls between the ages of twenty and thirty?"

You will see the tremendous balance of the Japanese men's team, six of whom finished in the top ten. Any of them could be the All-Around Champion of the world on any given evening. Based on these films alone. it is difficult for one to imagine any

other team in the world beating the Jap· anese in Mexico in 1968.

The only disappointment the reviewer has had is that the controversial performance of Doris Brause was not included. Anyone know who has films of Doris' uneven exer. cise that stopped the crowd?

Our compliments to Mr. Endo who has once again made available good films at an inexpensive price.

Later in the film she performs on balance beam and uneven bars.

Each part of the exercises presented are enhanced by slow motion where necessary and active spottin g is demonstrated. Quality of color production is excellent.

Conditioning

For

Competition

By Dick Wolfe

THE PLANCHE AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE The planche is one of the most impressive strength moves in gymnastics. Like the cross, to execute this difficult stunt reo quires time and effort systematically spent.

But once learned, the planche can help to graduate the standard ring, free exercise, or parallel bar routine out of the novice class.

Few would debate the significance of the planche itself. Even fewer realize the sig· nificance of the planche in learning other important movements. A swing t o a hand· stand on the parallel bars can be finely controlled by swinging freely to just short of the handstand position followed by a straight armed push forward on the bars

to reach the final handstand posItion. Con· trol in lowering from the handstand can also he enhanced if the "planche muscles" are well developed.

On rings the planche position is useful in lowerin g from a handstand, in learning a giant, and it is an invaluable aid for learning a high dislocate, or a straight armed shoot to handstand. Even the learn· ing of high doubles and moores on the side horse can be accelerated through a stronger planche position.

So, no matter what your even t-and we hope it's all around-strength in the planche position is a must for maximum execution and fine control leading to perfection and excellence.

"LET'S GO ALL-AROUND"

A NEW

In this article I am ' going to illustrate some less common gymnastic moves on the all around events.

Free exercise-Pike front dive. Using the Russian type arm swing run forward, vigorously swmg arms backward and upward until they litt body off floor. As the feet leave the floor pike sharply and quickly and extend just as quickly so that the body is fully extended by the time the hands touch the floor. The forward roll should be cushioned by pushing against the flo or with the arms. Remember the harder the arm swing the higher the dive, and also force yourself not to lean forward until the arms connect with the shoulders other路 wise you will be awkward lookmg and nave a low dive.

Side Horse-Reverse moore, travel-in mount. The performer should start as if he were performing a double-in mount. The key pointer to remember on any r everse moore is that the second hand must be delayed before it is put onto the pommel. The second hand should not be placed on the pom-

mel until the shoulders h.~ve completed -a :tA, turn. The travel-in portion 路should not be anticipated. The reverse moore should be fully completed prior to -the travel-in. A good guide to keep you on balance throughout the move is to make sure your shoulders stay over ' the pommel during the reverse moore part of the move.

Horizontal bar-Hip circle to flank undercut. This might be used as a little different way of getting into a German giant.

Just as the hip circle is .being completed the legs are cut under one hand while the weight of the body is being supported by the other. The under cut is fa st followed by a quick hand regrasp to set the performer for the back seat circle.

Long horse-Giant pike. The performer should not approach at full speed as otherwise the arm push will not be able to counteract the forward momentum. The board should be placed about four feet in back of horse. The main pointers to remember are that the vault requires a powerful downward push of the arms on the horse,

SERIES EMPHASIZING INSTRUCTION FOR THE ALL-AROUND GYMNAST

By Art Shuriock, Gymnastic Coach at UCLA followed by a fa st piking of the hips and a vigorous extension of the hips just as the horse is being cleared. This vault falls into the unusual category when a % is added at the time of extension.

Parallel bars-Pike front somi dismount with % twist. The % twist segment of tbis move should not be anticipate'd . The per. form er should get his high lifting pike front somi going before he explodes into the % twist. If the performer anticipates the half twist he will be doomed to frustration and bruises since it will throw his timing of the move off.

Rings-Pike back somi dismount with % twist. The performer should lift the pike just as if he wer e throwing a high straddle dismount. This is done by obtaining a powerful swing out of a dislocate and on the upswing pulling the shoulders above the rings by pulling with the arms. The perform er's body should be in pike posl,ti1:m at time of release. The pike is followed by a powerful extension of body accompanied with a half twist of the body.

THE ROLE OF THE JUDGE IN MAKING THE UNITED STATES A WORLD POWER IN GYMNASTICS

By A . Carl Patterson The official who judges gymnastic meets plays as important a part as the coach in developing top fli ght gymnasts. The judge is the controlling factor in determining a gymnasts' score. The gymnast is complacent, challenged or discouraged hy the scores that are given. Most gymnasts know when another gymnast has rece ived a score that is too high or too low. He is more easily fool ed by the scores that he receives himself. Most gymnasts (his coach too) feel that they are underscored, especially when he thinks that he has performed well. A gymnast who continually receives a 9.5 or higher in an event is usually satisfied and works to improve his other events. This is as it should be if the 9.5+ score is valid, but too often it is higher than the gymnast really deserves. Our top gymnasts usually score higher in championship meets held in the United States than they do in International competition.

Either our officials are doing something wrong or our gymnasts are underscored abroad. It would be better if our team scored higher in foreign countries than they do locally.

If the gymnastic official is to play the all·important role, that can be his, in making the United States a world power in gymnasti cs, he must deduct for all faults and only give maximum credit for true performing excellence. Judges, in the United States should be more severe, almost to the point of being over critical. Coaches and gymnasts some times forget that minimizing deductions for daring, originality and difficulty does not mean the elimination of deductions. Officials must make coaches and gymnasts understand that whenever there is a fault there must be a deduction.

Only your scores can do this. If you deduct for all fault s, coaches and gymnast will learn that there is no substitute for excellence. When our top gymnasts are excellent they will score high wherever they perform .

To be a great judge one must be knowl· edgible, practical and dedicated. It takes constant concentrated study to keep abreast of current rules and trends in gymnastics.

It takes exhausting practice to apply this knowledge in a practical situation. It requires a kind of confidence that can be swayed by no one but a mind ' that is always open and makes worthy use of valid suggestions and criticisms. Yours, in most cases, is a thankless task, but would it not be worth it, if the United States were to become a real gymnastic power.

When a gymnast makes a United States team because his scores were too high, there is a better gymnast sitting at home. The bes t team will be selected if your scores are correct. If we were always represented by our best team this in itself would be a giant step in the right directtion.

There are so many things that an official must know and be able to do if he is to do the job right. These are some of the "musts" for excellence in judging as I see them: 1. Judges must have a real working knowledge of all the listed "A", "B" and "C" parts. A judge should know them by name. He should be able to recognize them on sight. He should know ex actly what is considered correct execution for every listed part. This is in itself, a gigantic task, but it is not enough. He should be able to determine on sight if an unlisted part falls into the "A", "B", or "C" classification.

U.S .A. can and should be higher than 6th place in international competition

2. The judge must know all of the standard deductions. This includes d eductions for technical faults as well as for form . Too often, a judge will only deduct for form when the form break was actually caused by a technical error. Too many gymnasts get by with faulty execution without penalty because their legs· are together and the toes are pointed. All judges will deduct for falling off the apparatus. How many also deduct for the technical fault that caused the performer to fall?

3. The judge must deduct for anything that is less than perfect. If he doesn't, how can a gymnast be given credit for perfection. A score of 10.0 means perfection.

Every time a gymnast performs a skill that is not perfectly done, there should be a deduction. How many times have you seen a perfectly executed individual skill? Too many gymnasts are getting near performances that are not near perfect. A judge should deduct every time he sees something that is not perfect.

4. Judges must only give credit (A, B or C) for skills that are properly and completely executed. A cross that is too high is not a cross, a shoot through a shoulder stand to a handstand is not a shoot to a handstand. An under bar somersault (Peach Basket) to a bent arm support followed by a press out to a handstand is not a Peach Basket. to a handstand. The judge mu~t be able to recognize a " faked move." There, often, is a fine line between a poorly executed skill and one that has not really been executed at all. A judge must be able to recognize this. In the case of a poorly executed skill, the judge should deduct accordingly. In the case of a "faked move," the judge should not give credit for completing a skill and in most cases should deduct for technical faults too.

5. The judge must accept the "FIG" rules.

The "FIG" rules may have many weaknesses and faults but regardless of their alleged shortcomings, the judge must use them as they are written a - he is to do an efficient and correct job.

6. Judges must not be fool ed by a name performer. Each person must be judged on his own merit. Deduct for all faults. Give credit for excellen ce not for a nam e. Too many times older gymnasts in the United States score 9+ for exercises on their way down when they would have had difficulty scoring an 8+ for a comparable exercise on their way up.

7. Judges must not give charity scores.

Too often a gymnast who is excellent in five events is over scored for his sixth event which is definitely .inferior. Judges seem to have their biggest problems in this respect with Side Horse, Still Rings and Long Horse. A judge hurts the United States

and the gymnast when he gives a charity score. Judges must forget what a gym nast scored in his other events and only judge what he sees.

There is much being done throughout the United States to put only qualified people in judging situations. Officials Associations are being formed throughout the' nation.

Gradually, only officials who pass written and practical examinations are assigned to meets. Most judges are form er gymnasts and dedicated to the sport. They are willing to give time and effort to do those things that will lead towards excellence in judging.

Through clinics and organized discussions the judge is seeking the kn owledge and "know how" that is required of excellence.

In the near future, a real National Association of Gymnastic officials must be formed . This association must give all officials common goals and objectives and set guide lines and devise methods for achieving judging excellence.

Excellence in coaching, excellence in research, .excellence in eq uipmen t, excellence in fa cilities and excellence in judging will do much towards developing excellence in performing skill and in the making of a real world power in gymnastics.

FLABBERGASTED Dear Glenn , I am k ind of flabbergasted by your arti cle "How much would yo u Give." I a m s till in a d a ze.

I imm e dia tely checked back on w h at subscription s you were receiving from Canada before I s tarted to write th e "Can adian Repdrt". I discover ed th e f igure was a b out 250 in one year this figure has doubled . I then went and check e d ou r s t a ndin g in co mparison to o ther gymnastic sectors a nd I qui ckly discovered we placed fOUl-th b ehind Californ ia, Illinois and New York .

My immediate thought was a n ywh e re Hig h School gymnas tics is strong, subscriptions are the biggest. I was ap pall ed a t stat es lik e Arizon a (the hom e o f the U.S .G.F.) Mi c higan with M.S.U. and Univ. of Michigan a nd a very active high school pnogramm e; Washington , Ohio, Ma.ss., Penn. a nd so on, a ll l on g time gymnastic s trongholds.

On a p e r capita basis w e have supported your magazine very ac tiv ely, if yo u com p a r e our e fforts to som e of your own p eopl e . I thin k t h ere is som e thing radically wrong with American gymnasts. It is b eyond understa nding that a wealt h y Dountry s u ch as th e U.S.A. could only mu ster 5,40 0 subscriptions to th is very excellent ma.gazin e when yo u conside r the amoun t of mon ey Ameri can yo uth spend on TRASH lite r ature, it is a sad r e fl ecti o n on m any peopl e.

Having a populat ion of 194 million peopl e and Canada h as a b out 20,000,000, as m any as th e state of New Yor k (18 milUon) or California with (18 million) I d on't feel t oo bad, Glenn, a bou tour 434 s ubscription s. In thi s comi ng year I w ill do m y best in increase this figure.

Gymnastically, J OHN NOONEY Canada ED. We have been very pleased with the growth of Gymnastics and MG subscribers in Canada due to your personal efforts .
