The Maine West musclemen bowed to Glenbrook South last Saturday as the Titans ousted the willful Warriors by a score of 119.47 to 80.74. Competition was within a few points until the end of the meet when the Titans pulled far ahead from the disappointed Warriors.

On a 10‑point system top scores from Maine West in each event were a 6.0 in free‑exercise and a 4.5 on trampoline from Steve Schwab '72. All-around man Rich Dancaster '71 scored a 5.5 on still rings, and a 6.2 was accomplished by senior Dean Koltz on high bar where he performed a difficult double‑somersault dismount.

On the side‑horse Jay Jacobs '71 scored a 5.4, and finally on parallel bars Mike Redmond '71 succeeded with a 5.8. John Leer '72 generally performing on free‑ex and tramp was absent from this meet due to illness.

One member of the gymnastic team who wished to remain anonymous commented that some of their problems would be solved if more publicity, recognition, and participation were given to the team.

On the freshmen level last Saturday things were looking up. The freshmen took Glenbrook in by narrowly edging them 35.1 to 32.1. Because there is no actual sophomore team at Maine West, Glenbrook's sophomores performed an exhibition level.

Pushing the 100 mark was a pleasurable experience for Coach Sid Drain when Maine West met Proviso West in a non‑conference meet December 18.

This was the first time in nearly two seasons that the gymnasts have been in the 100 field. But their luck ran out when they lost to Proviso 103.88 to 101.25.

In the Wheeling meet on December 22 the musclemen dropped their meet 92.8 to 112.4.

The Thornridge Invitational held December 29 consisted of 12 schools including Maine West. The gymnasts came in eighth.
