There are two let- termen, Jay Mahler ° and John Robertson, who emerge as the top Wolverine performers in the event. Stager states that "neither of them is exactly superlative and we don't have any good young ones coming up."

Tom Mertz, a sprinter switched on to the backstroke, will aid Dorney in a never-ending search for victory. "Dorney is good, good, real good," declares Stager.' "Maybe one of the best in the nation. His only problem is in- experience." The sprinting chores for the most part are left for yet another untried group of sophs. The one swimmer not of the most part is the other half of the senior delegation, John Salassa. Salassa has been an excellent team man for the last two years, swimming primarily in the relays. Salassa would be a third of the seniors if freestyler Ken Wie- back had not been removed from the squad for disciplinary rea- sons. Sophomores Bob Harmony, Jim Burns, Roger Keats, Bob Kircher, and Tim Sullivan will form the heart of the sprinting group. The man in the spotlight in the AP Selects Top Gridders Michigan halfback Ron (Flip- per) Johnson, who set a Michigan' rushing record this season by bet- tering Tom Harmon's mark of 886 yards, was named to the Asso- ciated Press second All-American team yesterday in New York. Four other Michigan players re- ceived Honorable Mention. They were: Captain Joe Dayton at cen- ter, end Jim Berline, middle guard Dennis Morgan, and defensive back George Hoey. Johnson and Hoey, will be returning to the Michigan team next season. This year's first team includes one of the greatest backfields ever. Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban leads the super backfield that includes USC's peerless O. J. Simpson and Purdue's Leroy Keyes at the halfback positions, and Lar- ry Csonka of Syracuse at fullback. Notre Dame's massive defensive end, Kevin Hardy, leads a defen- sive unit that includes his team- mate Tom Schoen in the defensive backfield and Nebraska's Wayne Meyland at Middle guard. SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: HUD ENGLEHART distance grinds is Mike O'Connor. O'Connor took fourth in the Big Ten 1,650-yard race, fifth in the 500, and seventh in the 200 last year. The international flavor of Stager's Stalwarts is spiced by Peruvian Juan Bello, an athlete proficient in all strokes. Another all-around man who may get the call for the individual medley is Gary Kincaid. Bello may help out in the backstroke and breast- stroke if needed. Kincaid could also possibly appear in one of the distance contests. Rounding out the squad are still more promising divers dis- guised as Bruce McManaman, finalist in the NAAU, Paul Mc- Guire, and Jim McKee. The team's first scheduled com- petition will take place in Bloom- ington on January 6 in the an- nual Big Ten relays. The team will prepare for their baptism by working out in Florida during the studying respite brought about by the national giving holiday. The team members are financing the trip out of their own pockets. "We've got a pretty good dual team," summarizes Stager. "We'll have trouble in the championship meets because we don't have lots of first place winners. But we do have good balance and strength across the board and that's what you need for dual meets." When asked about how his boys shape up against archrival Indi- ana, Stager admits "I'll have to say they're better than we are right now, but we'll still give them a good meet." Stager says of Mich- igan State, a strong contender in the last few years, "They lost some great swimmers and our freshmen team beat them last year. We should beat them." Stager has approached practice in a different manner this year in a move prompted by the youth- fulness of his team. "The team is swimming at least one-half mile more per day than last year," he says, "and they're tolerating it well. They'll be in shape." Further prognostications? "They'll get lucky or they'll get good." SWIMMING SCHE16ULE Jan. 6 Big Ten Relays Bloomington, Ind.
