Gymnasts look to Big 8 Conference meet with optimism
Bv Jim Kay
If things go like UNL gymnastics coach Francis Allen
said he thinks they will, everything will be coming up
roses for the Husker gymnastics at the Big 8 Conference
meet next Friday and Saturday.
Allen said the Big 8 meet, which will be in Allen Field
house in Lawrence, Kan., would be approached by the
UNL gymnast? with a new optimism.
"They're easy to coach right now because they're moti
vated and inspired," Allen said. "At the present rate of
improvement I think we're going to win. We had shabby
practices before most of our meets this year. There was
no confidence. But practice is going well now and if that's
any indication it will be a helluva meet."
Team compulsaries will be performed at 7 pjn. Friday
with the team optionals at 1p.m. Saturday. The team
champion and all-around champion will be decided at this
time. Individual champions in each event will conclude
the meet Saturday night at 7 p.m.
"We won't shoot for a score, but performance, at the

conference meet," Allen said. "The pressure is on Iowa
State (University) and the (University of) Oklahoma.
What's good is they think they can beat us, but they
can't."
The winner of the Big 8 meet automatically qualifies
for the NCAA meet in Tempe, Ariz., in April. But Allen
said the chances of qualifying three Big 8 teams for na
tionals, which is uncommon, could happen this year.
"A few years ago a team score of 400 would qualify
a conference champion for nationals," Allen said. "But
this left too, many jood teams at home. Today you're not
seeded unless you score a 417. This year it looks like no
body in the Big 10, Western Athletic or Western Inde
pendent Conference can score 417. So there is a chance
that two teams in the Big 8 who can hit could qualify on
a wild card for national." "' '' '
Allen added that he thinks the top three places in the
Big 8 meet would be separated by as little as four points
and that the Cig 8 champion would be the top-seeded
team at the national meet.
Performing in Allen Fieldhouse may turn out to be a
plus for UNL, Allen said.
"KU is a good place for us," Allen said. "Lawrence,
Kan., seems to like us and so do the people of Kansas. If
there is such a thing as a home team advantage, we have it,
because Kansas certainly does not have a contender."
Only UNL, Iowa State, Oklahoma, th,e University of
Kansas and the University of Colorado have gymnastics
teams in the Big 8.
said. "We've had too many missed routines because of
nerves, falls on the rings or misses on vaults. All they need
is enough confidence to say to themselves,- 'Even if
the ceiling falls on me 111 still score a 9.2 or 9.3.' "
