Musclemen Take Two Out of Three
The Maine West varsity gymnastics team will host the Forest View Falcons tomorrow afternoon in B‑Wing gym at 2 p.m. in the Warrior musclemen's second Conference meet.
In the last two weeks, the gymnasts have had three meets. They defeated Glenbrook North, in the Conference opener for both teams, 71 1/2 - 60 1/2, and swamped East Leyden, in a non-Conference meet, 83-49. Last Saturday, however, they dropped a heartbreaker to Waukegan 68-64.
In the Waukegan meet, the gymnasts started off by tying on the trampoline 11-11, and then came back by taking the side horse event 12-10. In the high bar event, the Westmen hit bad luck, being swept 16-6. In the next two events, parallel bars and rings, the t w o teams traded scores of 12-10, with the Warriors taking parallel bars and Waukegan the rings. In the final event, tumbling, West needed a sweep to win the meet, but fell short winning the event 13-9, Waukegan thus taking the meet, 68-64.
