Gibson said the men's four-man boat team "has a good chance of placing" but the cljht-man boat ' team is "questionable" and "untried."

But after viewing the intrasquad match held that day, Allen said he b now sure. "I really think well put together a national con tender," Allen said. That could be bad news for the rest of the NCAA, as Nebraska has won the last five national titles. The Cornhuskers open their season in Lincoln Nov. 5 against Oklahoma and Iowa State. Although the Huskers no longer have all Americans Scott Johnson and Phil Cahoy, they do have some experienced gymnasts. Sophomore Chris Riegel returns, as does senior Jim Mikus. Both earned All-America recognition in 1982-83. In addi tion, the,Huskers have sophomore Wes Suter on hand, while junior Mike Bowers, and freshman Neil Palmer could be this year's "secret weapons," Allen said. "Mike's stronger this year, and is developing a more positive identity as a gymnast," Allen said. "He was one of the best gymnasts in the country coming out of high school ... I expect him to help us a lot this year." Allen said more help should come from senior pommel horse specialist Frank Illbbitts. One of the keys to the NCAA race this year will be the eligibility of UCLA star Mitch Gayiord, Allen said. The NCAA declared Gaylord ineligible to complete last season because he traveled with a professional gymnastics tour, and received a stipend for his ser- EEFORE CR AFTER THE KAK3AS STATE ,r .V-i--.-t,v ?

Allen said the NCAA may declare him ineligi ble aain thb season. "If he's eligible, it should be between us and UCLA . for the championship," Allen said. "If he's not we should be a shoo-in." Allen said he expects Penn State, Ohio State and Iowa State to field strong teams thi3 year. Rich Bergolucci, assistant sports information director at UCLA, said he knows of no reason why Gaylord would not be eligible for the upcoming season. . "He was given a one-year suspension by the NCAA, that was the ruling," Bergolucci said. "I cant think of any reason that Francis Allen would think he wont be eligible." ' ' - ' ;V' ... "WeVe got the horses this year, in contrast to Nebraska, who has a young team," Bergolucci said. "Nebraska should be strong, and so should Penn State. I think well be riht up there." Although the Bruins lost two-time NCAA all around champion Peter Vidmar to graduation, the Bruins return several experienced gymnasts, Bergo lucci said. In addition to Gaylord, who is a senior, the Bruins return all-around performers Tim Dag , gett, Mark Caso and Chris Caso. At Penn State, things are looking good, graduate "We look to be very strong" Jepsen said. "WeVe got a let cf depth, and people seem to be pretty hungry." Jepsen said he thinks the NIttany Lions have a chance to win the NCAA title. .. "UCLA should be very strong, and so should Nebraska, but weVe got the capabilities to do it," he a pzrco;:zl in il: 2
