By DAN BOWERMAN
Associate Sports Editor
Coach Paul Ziert and the Oklahoma gymnastics team knew they had the best team, but they had to overcome a strong challenge from Nebraska and perennial champion Lloyd McKinnon. Gymnastics Championships on Friday and Saturday in Allen Field House.
The Sooners scored 427.55 points after Friday's compulsory session and Saturday's optional session to heat the Cyclones at No. 1. The No. 2 Heat was 428.90, and Nebraska was third at 423.90.
"We didn't look at Iowa State or Nebraska at all." "Zilliam sat on Saturday night's individual finals. "We came here knowing we the best team on paper. We knew if
Ringman John Nunley
we hit we win, so we just looked at ourselves, not the other teams."
Kansas took last in the five-take meet with 299.55, and Colorado was fourth at 347.68.
KU's only bright spot in the two-day meet was John Numley who took sixth on the still rings. Nunley, one of three seniors on the KU squad, was the only Jayhawk to make it individual finals and the only gymnast in one of the top three teams to take a medal.
However, gymnasts from the top three schools stole the show from the host school.
AIAW tough on swimmers
The KU women's swim team was among the top 20 finishers in two relay events at the AIAW national meet in Providence, R.I., where they had individual events entered, aailable.
The 400-yard freestyle relay team of J. K. Walters, Cathy Call, Maureen Sheehan and Debbie Bunker placed 18th in the competition involving schools from throughout the country. That foursome also swam the 400 freestyle relay team which finished 20th.
Coach Gary Kempf said KU's 400 freestyle relay was seeded in 15th but its time of 3:39.3 was slower than previous times for the Jayhawks in that event. He said the competition was stiff, with the difference between ninth and 20th place in that relay being just 2.5 seconds. The 800 relay team turned in a rate of 8:00.0.
Bunker swam the 100 and 200 freestyle and Laurie Propt represented KU in the one-meter diving, but the results of their training could have saved both thought both would finish about 38 or 40th.

In addition to the race for the team title, a battle for the all-around title added the onslaught of the season.
Bart Conner, competing for Oklahoma and a member of the 1976 United States Olympic team, won the all-around competition, scoring 109.75 of a possible 120. He won over defending champion Larry Johnson (108.75) and Conner's teammate Mike Wilson, sophomore, was third in the all-around with 106.50.

But other gymnasts kept the excitement going during the finals by turning in outstanding performances in the individual events.
Conner, a freshman from Morton Grove, Ill., had only one flawed routine out of the 12 he performed during the compulsory and optional sessions held Friday and Saturday afternoon. However, Gerard, a junior, gave the better show Saturday night in the individual finals when Conner had major flaws in three of his six routines.
Ziirt said Conner was exhausted from the team and all-around competition and from competing for the United States in the 1976 Olympics. He moved to Madison Square Garden in New York.
Duane West, Nebraska, scored 18.55 of 20 possible to win the floor exercise. Gerard was second, and freshman Les Moore, Oklahoma, was third.
Sophomore Paul Black, Oklahoma, had three solid routines and won the pommel horse competition with 18.425. Black was third on the horse last year. Mike Cogrove, Nebraska, was second, and Bob Powers, a freshman from Iowa State, was third.
Doug Wood, Iowa State senior and defending national champion, won the still rings with 18.900. Gerard took second, and Kurt Mackie, Nebraska, was third.
Mark Trippel, Iowa State, successfully defended his first place title in long horse vaulting. He had the highest total of the four state titles he won, Scott Evans, Iowa State, took third.
Freshman Stacy Maloney, Iowa State, vaulted into first place on the parallel bars after both Conner and Wilson had problems with their routines. Wilson was the defending champion on the event but was second going into finals behind Conner. Maloney won it with 18.325. Wilson still managed second, and Trippel took third.
Gerard won the horizontal bar event easily with 18,875. Maloney took second, and three were knocked out.
Ziert said he was pleased with his team's performance in team competition but wished the Sooners would have performed better. We put our ourselves out to win the team title.*
KU coach Bob Lockwood said he was pleased with the meet also.
"I thought it was a good meet from an organizational standpoint," he said. "I was disappointed in the finals because some of us didn't win, but having three teams so close was nice."
"We scored 184 in optionals and didn't enter a full team in compulsions. We didn't hit real well, but we haven't been consistent all year long."
Lockwood also said he was pleased with Nuley's performance and noted that Nunley came from a tie for seventh place to win the sixth place medal.
"I was certainly happy with John," he said. "He didn't miss a routine all season."
Besides Nunley, seniors Jody Summers and Ford Culbertson competed in their last game.
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Jim Colburn hurled his second scoreless five-inning stint yesterday, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Son, 14-2, in an exhibition baseball game.
Steve Stone, who also had worked 10 scoreless innings, was forced to retire with a sore shoulder in the second inning after he had Job Husse tagged him with two-run singles.
Al Cowens led the Royals' 17-hit attack with a double and two singles. Cowens and Al Cowens tied for third.

Soccer Club drops three
The KU Soccer Club lost three of four games during its spring tour that took the Jayhawks to the North Texas State Invitational tournament in Denton, Texas, and to Matamosos, Mexico, during spring break.
The Jayhawks, who finished sixth in the North Texas tournament, dropped their first game to Richland Junior College of Dallas, 2-1, in a game that was hampered by strong winds, with gusts up to 40 miles an hour.
The KU goal was scored early in the game by junior Felipe Santos.
Friday, KU had a rematch with Matamoros, and KU won. 2-1, amid cheer from the crowd of "campion Kansas" meaning Kansas champions.
This game also was marred with controversy, when the official keeping the time didn't end the second half at the regulation time. The game also ended the game run an additional seven minutes.
"Despite our showing, I believe that on day we would have defeated an of the team by 10 points."
the teams KU met were probably better than those KU would play in the Big Eight.
In the second game, KU was defeated by the University of Houston, 4-0.
A career in law without law school.
But in the second half KU's defense let down, and KU lost the game, 3-1, before a capacity crowd in the city's municipal stadium.
Mullin hiself missed most of the second half when an early call by the officers led to an argument, resulting in Mullin being kicked out of the game.
KU played the game six men short because the player missed, drew, and KU became the winner.
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an undergraduate education and a challenging, responsible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do work traditionally done by lawyers.
Mullin commented on the tour saying that
