Linda Metheny, Olympic Comm . approval (injured) The top teh place winners along with Miss Metheny will train at South Lake Tahoe until Sept. 23rd at which time the squad under the direction arid leadership of Mrs. Mu riel Grossfeld and Manager Mr. Vannie Ed wards will be reduced to 7 members. It was again apparent and very obvious to the contestants , coaches , spectators and the press that the judging of the sport MUST be brought into line and the time factor expedited. This definitely must be accomplished if we are to maintain good friendly relations with the press correspondents and the paying public. As the saving goes "Wake Up Gymnastics" we need them , they don't need us. Again, thank you all for helping to make the 1968 Women 's U.S.A. Olympic Gymnastic Final Trials such a tremendous success.
