' Ben Garcia, Jeff Noland, and Steve An- derson formed the nucleus of the team, which was mainly underclassmen. Garcia and Noland were considered all- around men for the team. Specialists. such as Sheldon Clark, Robert Patze, and Steve Rueter were expected to pro- vide high scores in their competition. The ring team, the strongest in the city, is perfecting routines that have some very 'difficult maneuvers. Such routines are back uprise, hand stands, shoot hand stands, and double back off, explained varsity gymnast Steve Anderson. Ben Garcia, the number one man on the team, was in top contention for the city title as all-around champion. He also was predicted to take high ratings on the side horse, parallel bars, and the still rings. S PORTS 145

This season we should win all of our matches, said Golf Coach Dick Arnold. Most of the city powers have lost alot of their best players. Returning players include Chris Gua- rino, Phil Brown, Mike Robbins, Doug Mark, and George Whitaker a late star- ter from the basketball team. Look- ing forward to positions are Ken Ev- erett, Dave Dluehosh, Scott Rovan, Bud Rudolph, and Dennis Harvey. The golfers practiced each day at 49 er's Country Club, a difficult and demanding course which requires both distance and accuracy. Our program has really grown this year, said Larry Campbell coordin- ator of the Sahuaro intramural pro- gram. Our program gives everyone a chance to participate in athletics whereas varsity sports do not. This year there were intramural wres- tling, tennis, softball, and basket- ball teams as well as a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day where boys ran a two mile course forturkeys. S PORTS 147
