FROSH STEVE ROSKAM ON THE RINGS
Powerful Indiana St. looms
as Ducks set trip to midwest
By MIKE YORKEY
Of the Emerald
If the University of Oregon
athletic department was on the
Chinese New Year system, 1972
73 could clearly be referred to as
the Year of thle Freshmen. With
the varsity football and
basketball teams staffed by a
plethora of first-year men, it
comes as no surprise that
Oregon’s excellent gymnastic
team is equally being dominated
by a bevy of freshmen.
Coach Bill Ballester of the
Flying Ducks, in his second year
at the helm, is using a total of
nine freshmen in his thirteen man
squad, due to injuries to two key
upperclassmen, Trey McDowell
and John Lehmann. “We feel we
are the darkhorse team in the
Pac-8,” said Ballester. “We are
using a lot of freshmen like
Harter and Enright, and out of
the thirty events in our meets,
twenty-five are done by fresh
men.”
Don and Jim Lester are two
freshmen on the pommel horse,
along with Mike Luzny. Tom
Phillips and Steve Roskam, also
freshmen, compete in the all
around exercises.
With talent comes ex
perience, and to get that ex
perience, Ballester put his young
team through an “ordeal” last
Saturday. The Flying Ducks
traveled to Chico State in one
day, beating them rather easily
in the process, 154.15-190.20, for
their third consecutive win. They
immediately drove back that
night. “It was a good learning
experience for us. The gym was
standing room only down there,
3,500 people, they were
boisterous, and the meet was an
ordeal for us. The score was a lot
closer than I thought it would be,
but we came close to the school
record. I feel we improved
significantly from the week
before,” said Ballester.
The learning process could
produce dividends this weekend
when the gymnastic squad takes
off on an important road trip to
the Midwest States and Colorado.
On Friday night they take an two
teams at once, Wheaton College
and Ball State, two Indiana
contingents. This is all under the
guise of a “double dual meet,”
with each team trying to outpoint
each other.
Saturday night should prove
to be most interesting for the
Ducks, when they are pitted
against Indiana State, winner of
the NCAA’s last year, and the
number two team in the nation.
Ballester observed, “Those
meets in the Midwest serve a
dual purpose fen- us. We compete,
of course, but we also recruit
there.’’ Indiana and Illinois both
have a well-deserved reputation
of being hotbeds for gymnastics,
and for the Ducks, it is no ex
ception. There are five men from
Illinois and Missouri, and three
from Colorado on the gymnastic
roster.
