give each director an assistant, as
I see it."
But Riskey's dedication to
sports extends beyond his office
duties. He turned one of his hob-
hies-graphics-into a profitable
one, designing charts for every-
thing from setting up a paddleball
tournament to diagrams demon-
strating the techniques of diving.
His greatest endeavor, however,
began as a decision to fill the
blank wall in the new Sports Ad-
'ministration Building.
Four years of intense research
have produced a history of Michl-
gan football including such' fact&
as the 1904 varsity game with the
College of Physicians and Sur-
geons, which lasted 221/2 min-
utes-the score was 72-0 in favor
of Michigan.
Stay Here
Though Riskey is retiring, he
plans to live in Ann Arbor; "I
have no desire to go anywhere
else. I'll come back to play paddle
ball-if they will let me in."
First, though, he will find time
to take a canoe' trip with his wife
to the Maritime peninsula. Mrs.
Riskey learned to like the outdoors
during the 20 years they ran a
private boys camp in North Bay,
Ontario.
Huntsicker perhaps sumned up
hickey best when he called him
"a lucky fellow who found a place
early in life that he throughly
enjoyed and that he could make
a living out of."

A fine intramurals program bas
long marked this campus. Riskey,
however, is first to acknowledge
that it has diminished in recent
years, and he lays the blame with
a lack of facilities.
"We had 250 basketball teams
this year," he explained, "but we
could have had 500. We need an-
other building and more fields."
"I don't think the new re-
organization will make much dif-
ference," he continues. "They just
