Kansas at Oklahoma Chalmers-Stinson—even
Miss Stinson has been lauded for her improvement over last year and her good attitude. She competes on the uneven parallels and in the vaulting event.
Freshmen figure prominently in challenging the upperclassmen for the top spots on the squad. Barby Murrow, Topeka freshman, was a standout prep gymnast and is expected to be one of the best all-around competitors in the state.
Depth is another aspect of this year's team which has Mrs. Catlett smiling. Behind Miss Murrow in the all-around competition will be top prospects Janet Helfrich, Wichita freshman, and Janice Baker, Lake Quivera freshman.

KU's women's gymnastics team is entering its second year of competition and according to Mrs. Gale Catlett, coach and advisor, "the girls should have a good team, one of the best in the state."
Sophomores Sue Tagg, Sioux City, Iowa, and Debby Stinson of Lawrence are expected to be top competitors for this year. With Miss Murrow and Miss Tagg on the balance beam, KU boasts two of the best in the state.
The team is composed of mostly sophomores and freshmen, and squad size has increased from eight last year to 16 this season. Four girls return from last year's team.
The differences between the women's and the men's gymnastics events are slight. They both involve coordination of fluid movements but, whereas the men rely more on strength, the women use more balance and finesse in their routines.
There are four events in which the women compete around the country: the uneven parallel bars, vaulting, floor exercise, balance beam, and sometimes the tumbling and trampoline events are added.
This weekend the team will travel to Kansas City for a clinic, sponsored by women's Olympic coach Dick Mulvihill and Olympic finalist Linda Metheny.
"The girls don't compete but they do get a chance to work out and get expert advice for improving their routines," Mrs. Catlett said. "We have two workshops such as this in preseason before our first meet on Feb. 7."
Mary Lou Kraft, Overland Park sophomore, competes in the floor exercise and was also optimistic about this year's team.
When asked what it was that excited her about gymnastics, Miss Stinson replied, "I think it's a thrill to control my body in the air on the apparatus. It gives me an ego boost to know that I can do things with my body that most others can't do."
Replying to a question asking about the team's outlook for the year, Miss Stinson said, "I think we'll bomb everybody. The team this year is much stronger than last year's."
"Gymnastics is a beautiful sport," Miss Kraft said. "I had no experience in high school and my first contact with it was in class last year.
"It takes a lot of time and a lot of hard work to master even one trick. But it feels great after you've done it. I get a lot of satisfaction out of throwing a good routine. It's hard to describe but it really gives you a tremendous feeling of achievement," Miss Kraft said.
The KU women's gymnastics team is a relatively new sport on the campus scene, and it is a beautiful sport. It could be a beautiful sport for men, too—just by watching.
