as. SE as Don Lawrence * Sports editor * by Ken St.Amant A male gymnast must be prepared to compete in six events, all of which demand a reat deal of co-ordination and strength and stamina. In competitions such as the World Cup the order of competition is as follows: floor exercises, pommel horse, rings, vaulting, parallel bars and horizontal bar. I would like to briefly outline and discuss the various components that go into making up each of these events. Floor Exercises Each man's performance includes a varietv of tumbling, turns, leaps, acrobatics, balances and momentary pauses. The sequences should be original and reveal the Gymnastics Corner strength, agility, control and personality of the man performing them. Pomme! Horse The pommel horse event is composed of clean swings, without stops. Scissor movements are performed both forward and backwards, with one of them being executed twice in succession. All three parts of the horse are used as the gymnasts go through a seriés of moves. Rings This event contains elements alternating between body swing, strength and held parts. Without a movement of the rings the routine must contain at least two handstands on the rings--one executed with strength and one from a swing. Vault The vault event is judged on the basis of the difficulty of the vault completed and the perfection of its execution. Each vault attempted by a gymnast has a specified difficulty rating. Faults in execution--height, form, etc.--are deducted from the difficulty rating to establish the score in competition. Parallel Bars The parallel bars consist of swinging, flight, held and strength elements. Swinging and flight moves predominate in a_top class performance on the paralles bars. In executing moves, the gymnast is allowed no more than three stops. F Horizontal Bar The horizontal bar event is composed of clean swings, without stops, and movements of changing rhythm. As in all other gym- nastic events, self-discipline, courage and determination are the essentials that characterize an outstanding horizontal bar specialist. Conclusion Like the female gymnast, each of the men's routines are marked out of 10. Deductions are made for poor form and incorrect technical execution. Common mistakes to watch for are: poor position of body parts, stops in routines, falling off the apparatus, touching the body to the apparatus and handstands with bent arms.

The meet was won by the host club from Camridge, the team of 12 from Midland finishing in sixth place. 15 teams participated in the Cambridge October Swimfest. Many of Midland's swimmers had personal bests in the competition, and some came close to their best times. This year, the team is young and seems to bb doing very well considering their age of the team. Vogt was presented with the Individual High Point Trophy for his performance. The team will swim again this Sunday at the Midland YMCA, beginning at 10 a.m. and it will be the first meet hosted by Midland in competitive swimming this season. Spectators are welcome to attend.
