Page 6 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, November 24, 1946 Charlie Miller Revives Gym Sport for Scarlet BV DOC RINGLER Tull up o chair next to Charlie Miller sometime and let him tell you about the gymnastic enter prise he directs at Nebraska U. Gymnastics, to the muscular, dark haired Miller, is simply a hobby. Right now, however, he's groom ing his charges for another year of competition, and that's no small job. "It takes endless hours of daily practice to develop the grace and poise needed in this particular sport," Coach Mil ler remarked, "Just look at the length of time the boys put in for a comparatively short season. They start working; out in Sep tember and are still hard at work when school closes in June. Even then you cannot say that anyone attains perfect form." Conch Miller is not only inter ested in turning out a winning team, but puts definite emphasis in the confidence, friendship, and sportsmanship they should gain from this sport. War Intrrupts. Coach Miller had just begun to put the Nebraska gymnastic team im the map when the war struck. He will again start from scratch, with all the present material being green and with little or no pre vious experience. It will take time to build the team up to pre-war standings, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be done. Mil ler was a captain in the Army Air Corps and received his dis charge in February, 1946. Ne braska has had no gymnastic team since the 1941-42 season and Mil ler is once more faced with the task of rebuilding his team. Let's turn back a few pages and look at what Miller has accomp lished during the past years. Miller started his "dream" back in the winter of 1935. He received no pay for his long: hours of tutoring: and all ath letes that competed bourht their r; Courtesy Lincoln Journal. own uniforms and equipment besides paying for their own transportation. Gradually, Nebraska's depart ment of athletics began to take an interest in the sport. Mainly because of the efforts of Major "Biff" Jones, former director of athletics, gymnastics now has a spot on the athletic budget. Only Loop Team Miller has given Nebraska the only gym team in the Big Six Conference. In overall competi tion the Huskers have won 27 meets while losing 20. This in cludes the six Rocky Mountain A. A. U. titles the Huskers have captured. Miller's main problem so far has been to find athletes with previous experience. This has been difficult to do because few schools in the state offer the sport in their athletic programs. This problem has been worked on before the war and has been resumed again this year.
