In the cur- rent year, 1968-69, the NCAA will sponsor 15 National Collegiate Championships, plus another nine national championships on the Col- lege Division level. Two more championship events, water polo and volleyball, will be added next year. This year 190 champions will be crowned. This includes members of first place teams in championship competition.

The Committee also approved the shifting of the Mideast Championship, to Baton Rouge, La. The realignment will set bound- ary lines for both the College Divi- sion and third division games. A map of the new regions is shown elsewhere on this page. On the basis of the realignment in the College Division. 42 teams are eligible in the East, 38 in the M.ld- east, 49 in the Midwest and 39 in the West. The Football Committee feels that the new alignment will bring about equality both in quantity and qual- ity of teams involved. There is overlapping of confer- ence lines in two instances and the committee has ruled that teams will play in the geographical areas in which they are located.

San Fernando, Cal.-San Fernan- do Valley State College made it two straight in College Division Gym- nastics Championships, sweeping to the title behind sensational Rich Grigsby. SFVSC scored 151.80. Following SFVSC were South- ern Connecticut with 145.575 and Springfield Co 1 le ge with 145.575, which just switched positions from last year. This was the second annual cham- pionship. Grigsby was the gold medalist in floor exercise and horizontal bar, and shared the First place honors on the side horse and long horse. He was second in both parallel bars and still rings, and fourth in the all- around, turning in the highest score in optional competition, but not competing in the compulsories. His teammate, Juan Sanchez, shared the long horse crown and was second on the horizontal bar. The only “foreigner” able to break into the winners’ circle was John Ellas of Northwest Louisiana who won the all-around competition and also took the first place medal on the parallel bars, and tied Grigsby for the honors on the side horse.
