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.

half and will invade the Gener

Prahl, Mike Hoffman, and Bal

11-hit onslaught.
Traveling to Jefferson, the

win and John Pachot socked a
homer in leading the victory.

Because we were unable to
obtain an interview with Chris
Hawkins in reference to his
new publication we can bring
you no information about it.
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.
