Quite a flamboyant appraisal of two gentlemen who occupy the seemingly sedate position of diving, coach. Z But then, these two gentlemen are not dwellers in the mundane. They are "Billingsley and Kimball - Aqua Varieties . . . The Best Water Show in America." They are Billingsley and Kimball, diving coaches for Indiana and Michigan, respectively.

"He A roster of Michigan talent is is a real tough, strong competitor, at least as impressive, Junior Dick Rydze ranks as the Wolverines' number-one springer, and rates as an excellent tower man as well. In his sophomore year, he fin- ished behind Henry and Young in the high board event at the NCAA's for third place, and took ninth t the low board. Last sum- ': s AAU tower event was his specialty,. and in dual meet and relay competition this year he has performed consistently well. "Dick is the top man in the tow- er event, and he is constantly im- proving on tha boards," viewed Kimball concerning his star per- former, "lie stays up under pres- sure, delivering his set of dives with regular precision." Another starter who has figured high in season scoring is junior Al Gagnet, described by Kimball as "an extremely strong diver. He has taken great strides in developing 'By The Associated Press I CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Al Henry's basket with two seconds to play gave Wisconsin its only lead of the game and a 66-65 Big Ten bas- ketball victory over Illinois last night. the loss was the first of the season for the Illini in confer- ence play after five straight vic- tories and a loss was the first in two years for the Illini at home. Illinois took command 53-43 in the second half and then scored only four points in a period of 9 l minutes as the Badgers crept within three points at 57-54. Illinois managed to hold its lead and went ahead 65-61 with less than two minutes to play on a, basket by Jackson. Clarence Sherrod, however, hit three straight free throws includ- ing one on a techiical foul on Price, to lift the Badgers within one point at 65-64. With eight seconds to play, Rick Howat missed a free throw attempt and Wisconsin gained pos- session. The Badgers then took the ball out of bounds and Henry scored his winning basket. * * * Mount, Purdue roll LAFAYETTE, Ind. - R i c k Mount went over the 2,000 point mark fo his career last night, tal- lying 41 points in Purdue's 105- 86 Big Ten basketball victory over Michigan State. The Boilermaker AlI-American finished the game with 2,020 points, 54 short of the all-time school record held by Dave Schell- has°. He made 16 of 26 field goal attempts and nine of 15 free throws as Purdue scored its fourth conference victory in six games. Michigan State, 2-4 in the race, was led by sophomore Ralph Simp- son, who had 35 points. The Spar- tans made 50 per cent of their field goal attempts, but Purdue shot .519.

FLOOD IN QUESTION boardwork and finesse.' Senior Bruce McManaman re- mains strong in required dives, as evidence by his fine showing on both boards in the NCAA's, but his pace in the freer format of the dual meet has been a little off. Together with senior Paul Mc- Guire, these four will form the nucleus of attack against Indiana. Freshman Joe Crawford, a na- tional prep champ on the tower< and a promising addition to Mich-7 igan's fleet, won't be able to make1 the trip to Bloomington. Crawford3 contracted the measles this week and will be out for a while. When the two teams do finally ( join in battle, Billingsley and Kim- ball. sportsmen that they are, have agreed to let a diver compete in only a single event. In one of those events, Henry and Rydze will face each other in a fairly well-match- ed duel, and the battle lines will shape up from here. Besides their professional show- manship, Billingsley and Kimball attained high stature in amateur athletics, both performers and as coaches. Talent such as this will attract similar talent, working in a mu- tual effort toward perfection. And talent will beget ideas that will aid the effort. Kimball has de- veloped a means for speeding up practice while reducing the chance of injury. The operation consists of a diving board, a harness at- tached to guy lines, and a mat. The diver springs, Kimball picks up the slack from the lines, and the dive is executed without a single splatt. This year Kimball has set up 'he harness so that it can be used of f the diving board, simulating atual diving conditions to an even greater degree.
