MG Interviews, continued from page 11
FRANK CUMISKY (Superior Judge): Side horse. That fellow McCanless, he was wonderful on the side horse. It appears to me that he doesn't need two pommels. One pommel is enough for him. His is probably the most outstanding performance that I've seen. OTTO RYSER (coach, Indiana University): The exciting thing to me is the number of topflight youngsters we have today in comparison ever to 10 years ago when we had 5 or 6 boys doing top routines ; now we've got 50 or 60 of 'em doing top routines. This to me is very exciting. ABE GROSSFELD (coqch , Southern Connecticut): The team competition was so close that I'd say that the climax of the team COlilpetition was the most exciting moment. I was very happy with Jim Amerine's performance. He really exceeded my expectations. I think, too, that the side horse work was phenomenal. DICK CRILEY (MG reporter): Moves I liked were Sanchez's 1l-2 twisting somie which was well-controlled; Amerine's method of getting from a rear support on HB to a front support position: he merely muscles a half tum on one arm to his left ; also Rick Simmons' piked Arabian front to a straight legged forward roll; Larry Bassist's handspring, front with full ; Barry Siotten's haridspring to full twisting dive roll and his back ff toe-touch to immediate front ff; Iowa's Dick Taffe used a rearwards jump with full twist to nice effect ; ISU's Bob Ito had good tumbling, including his double full , handspring to front, a high Arabian dive, as well as a couple well-done transition moves: from front support to the Valdez position (tum about body axis and bend one leg) to a banner move (resembles a Valdez but doesn 't go through handstand -looks as if he does a full twist on one arm, but not a diamidov , as he regains the Valdez position). Might also mention Emery's 1l-2 twisting dismounts on HB and PB. Then on Long Horse: a full twisting handspring by Arizona's Doug Boger (in practice) , the entire Iowa State long horse team performance, the overall predominance of Yamashita vaults, and Penn State's Paul Vexler's near end stoop which had nearly 7 feet of pre-flight (he's only 5'W'). And what about the large number of specialists in the finals this year?! ... I missed the name of the gymnast who gave me the following ring routine. Will he please claim it, if he can: Back kip, maltese , front uprise , L, planche, press handstand, reverse giant locked arm to handstand, lower to invested cross, to back lever, to iron cross, dislocate, full twist.
