April 21, 1967 Rhythm action using ball skills offered in class Music, playground balls, and a classroom of girls constitute the new form of Swedish gym nastics that Miss Joan Egbers’ second and seventh period fresh man gym classes has begun. The form of gymnastics origi nated in Sweden and has be come more and more popular with school gymnastics courses, according to Miss Egbers. Borrowing the rhythm balls from Jefferson the girls’ P.E. classes are planning to present a demonstration in the gym show which is to be May 5-6. Movements are made usually in unison and in time to music with each girl using either one or two balls. The movement of the ball is often used to accen tuate the movement of the body, and therefore the rhythm ball is frequently used in modern dance moves. Tentatively Miss Egbers has set up the demonstration to in clude from 24-32 girls and hopes to use both classes, one on the first night and the other on the second night. Having only 3 weeks left un- til the gym show, Miss Egbers is in charge of making up the rou tine and seeing that the girls learn it for the performance, which will be done in unison movement to music. “The rhythm ball routines are being used experimentally and groups of girls in the classes have been figuring out and experi menting with their own rou tines,” stated Miss Egbers.

However, we would like at this time to offer him our sin cerest best wishes and en couragement in this endeavor. Although practice has been scarce due to inclement weather, the boys and girls golf teams have opened league competition under the supervision of Coach Vern Lowery. “If we play up to our capabili ties we’ll be in the top 3,” ven tured Coach Lowery who says he’s “usually pessimistic”. More playing rights plus $100 paid green fees will allow more golf ers to play. Leading the boys’ team are Gary Stroud, Carsten Museaus, Bill Smead, freshman Tim Myers, Kurt Heinze, Bob Jonas, Jeff Wo mack and Bob Cameron. Coach Lowery termed the girls’ positions as “hotly contested”, but as of now the top 10 girls are Jacque Hodges, sophomores Pat ty Jensen, Nancy Bottler and Barbara Leonard. Others include Judy Pierson, Marilyn Leonard, Mary Martin, Jan Scholian, Katy. Libke, and Nancy Martin. More teams than ever before will compete this year, 12 in the boys’ division and 9 in the girls’. Matches will take place at Rose City, Eastmoreland and the new Progress golf course. Madison appears to be the strongest boys’ team and will probably repeat as champion, but will be pushed by Benson, Lincoln and the Generals. Eastmoreland will host a match between Jeff and the Generals today at 3:30. erals will face tough competition in this dual city track meet, ac cording to Coach Mark Cotton. “For several years Marshall has been a tough school to beat but this year will be the toughest of alT. The meet could be decided by just 1 or 2 points,” stated Coach Cotton. Early in the track season both the Oregonian and the Journal picked Marshall to beat the blue and gray in the dual city meet. The team will have tough com petition in distances, the pole vault and high jump. Both the 1 mile and 2 mile races will also be hard but important events. According to Coach Cotton both the shot put and the discus will be the key events in the meet. “Although Marshall has never defeated the Generals they will be our toughest team this year because they have several of last year’s team-mates handed down this year,” stated the coach. In' other recent track events the Generals have done well. In the “A” discus and javelin meet, Walt Erikson took a second in the javelin throw and Jim Houghton placed third in the dis cus. Relays held last Friday at Madison gave the Generals their first poor showing as they lost the meet to Marshall.
