Thrilling Gymnastics

Five members of the Huskies Gymnastics team, from the University of Washington, U.S.A., thrilled a capacity crowd in the Y.M.C.A. stadium with a display of precision gym work.

Fresh from victories in the Australian and New Zealand championships, the Huskies were in top form, as was demonstrated by Bob Hall when he bettered his own record with 47 successive double-legged circles on the pommel horse.

In addition to serious gymnastics, the team delighted its audience with several comedy and musical items.
