Kinlkead eyes career 3022 Packard * Ann Arbor, Michigan Telephone: 313 971-5700 By NORM SCHERR For the past thirteen years swimming has been a way of life for Gary Kinkead. Now the senior star, captain and cornerstone of his team, reflects on his carreer in a somewhat wearied tone, noting, "I'm happy that this is my last year." After three years of carrying a heavy load on the varsity, the burden has caught up with him. "I'm retiring following the NC- AA's. The pressure has been tough. I've become a little sick of it." With the graduation of Carl Robie, Russ Kingery and Paul Scheerer, soph Kinkead and team- mate Juan Bello found themselves filling some extraordinary large shoes.

So are we, and we're doing something about it at: CaenQ ;e P AK I A U ST IN As juniors, they had becomeI the backbone of the team. Their versatility, Kinkead's chiefly in the distance freestyle, the individual medley and the backstroke, gave Coach Gus Stager a variety of tac- tical moves. Because they were dependable and enduring, they were called on repeatedly. In his senior year, Kinkead can look back on much of the same. With his added duties as captain, he feels that he's "only doing my share for the team." Stager ad- mires him as "a though man who knows how to give and take." Kinkead can trace his hard- driving power to his early boyhood swimming days. "During the Win- ter, we used to practice in a 20- yard YMCA pool in Indianapolis. But in sumnwr, we would head out to an old stone quarry and swim back and forth along its half- mile length. It gave you quite a workout." As a kid, the All-American-to- be made his first splash at eight and gained national notoriety by nine in the 50-yard butterfly. At ten and eleven he graduated to national champ in the 100-meter 'fly and the 200-meter individual medley. But then the rising youngster fell into a slump and remained there for three years until his family moved to Huntington and he was introduced to YMCA coach Glenn Hunmmer. Under Hummer's excellent guidance, whose coach- ing achievements' include Gary Dilley, Olympic silver medal win- ner in the 200-meter backstroke, Kinkead's self-confidence was re- stored. Although he never swam in high school (for lack of a pool there), Kinkead received scholarship of- fers from Michigan State, Purdue, and Michigan. The Wolverine bid came on the advice of Diving Coach Dick Kimball, who spotted him in a YMCA national cham- pionship in Kalamazoo. Asked why Indiana hadn't tend- ered an offering for a home-grown boy, Kinkead replied, "Coach Doc Counsilman and I have knowr each other for a long time. I th At Michigan, he didn't meet Stager until the first day of class-I es, but he was already impressed by the straightforward recruiting of Kimball, "a fantastic coach," and the opportunity to work in the shadow of the Robie-Kingery- Scheerer gan. In his frosh year Kinkead set about the task of honing his pre- cocious talent under Stager's crit- ical eye, setting a prevailing record in the 500-yard freestyle during the Big Ten Freshman Champion- ship meet. His sophomore year provided observers an inkling of even great- er things to come. He took his place among the veterans, per- formed regularly well throughout the dual meet season, and gainec All-American status in the 200- yard backstroke, the 500-yard freestyle and the 400-yard in- dividual medley at the NCAA's. During the summer he tried ou for the Olympics, but fell short. "Although I swam okay in the trials, I really felt down because I didn't make the squad. I was very disappointed." But as a junior Kinkead re- bounded and continued to be an integral part of the squad. Stager manipulated his blossoming talent to the dictates of each meet's strategy, entering him in two or three crucial events a meet. "Gary has a lot of spunk and stamina," says Stager. "After grinding out a thousand (yard freestyle), he can bounce back and swim a quick race in the i.m. (in- dividual medley) or backstroke." In last year's NCAA Finals, Kinkead placed second in the 400- yard individual medley and third in the 200-yard backstroke to aid his team in edging out Yale for fourth ranking nationally. As senior captain, Kinkead views his actions as part of a personal B.:Illboard There will be no freshman basketball game Saturday be- fore the varsity contest.

You can't just stand on the side and order them around. You've got to keep them up by your example, your best effort all of time." Stager sees Kinkead as "an ex- ceptional leader who does things in a quiet manner. Although he's sometimes reticent, he gets things done. He really shines through his fine example." As for a best performance so far this season, Kinkead smiles, "I wanted to make my final ap- pearance with Michigan State something special." Kinkead fin- ished the meet a triple winner in the 1000 and 500-yard freestyle and the 200-yard individual med- ley, a somewhat Spartan effort. And futurue plans when he gives up swimming? "I'd like to coach. Some high school some place, for a while. Then college, when I can make it." The education major certainly has had a fine group of teachers.

When the referees weren't handing out two minute minors or ten minute mis- conduct penalties or disagreeing among themselves, some ice hock- ey was played with the results be- ing a 6-3 victory by Michigan on Friday and a lopsided romp by the green and white of Michigan State by the count of 7-1. For the fifth straight time the two teams came away from their home ice with defeats. But this weekend saw a slight deviation from past performances. Michi- gan completely dominated play, whatever there was of it, in the Friday contest at East Lansing as they built up a 5-0 lead on route to their ninth win in 19 confer- ence games. including: Wild Flower The Inexpensive Boutique *DolIt Handmade and Moroccan Goods Plaza Leather Works Leather Goods to Sell or Trade Eden Organic Food Store Specializing in Macrobiotics sUnivers y-AMOND 1209SUnvriy 663-7151 I $10 per month FREE Service and Delivery ---NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED--- CALL: Nejac TV lieitals 662-5671 SERVING BIG 10 SCHOOLS SINCE 1961 A complete turn-about occurred the following night in a some- what more subdued meeting. Michigan coach} Al Renfrew at- tributed the reversal to the fact that, "Michigan State just wanted to win more." In all the earlier match ups between the two clubs neither team could get the upper hand and breaks determined the outcome. Renfrew indicated that the numerous infractions of the rules were in part due to closer calling of penalties by the officials and in part due to the emotional as- pect of the game. Emotions gen- erally play an important part in any Michigan - Michigan State g a m e . Sophomore defenseman Punch Cartier was suspended for the third time this season after an encounter with Spartan Bill Watt Friday evening, as t h r e e fights brought on most of the pen- alties. The Wolverines put on a fine' display of passing for the Spar- tan fans, but avoided any semb- lance of a passing game like the plague when they returned home. In addition, the infamous, inef- fective Wolverine power play was consistently foiled. Renfrew re- marked, "We were off in every department . . . our defense was weak, and we didn't hit anybody." Cartier's a b s e n c e Saturday didn't helpthings as the Michi- gan defense was exceptionally poor, and provided little protec- tion for freshman goalie, Doug Hastings. Hastings was pulled af- ter the first period in which he gave up four scores. Karl Bagnell came in and gave the Wolverines a lift with several superior saves, especially one on a solo effort by Michigan State's Don Thompson just after Bagnell had entered the game. Thompson scored 5~ times in the contest. But Michigan w a s frustrated most of the time on Saturday - even in the offensive department. The Wolverines were in the Spar- tan end of the ice for long per- iods of time, but couldn't put the puck in. Overall, the problem Sat- urday was a lack of skating and moving the puck in near the net. Renfrew hasn't lost confidence in either goalie, but he is not sure whether he will continue to rotate Hastings and Bagnell as he has done in the past few series. The Michigan mentor also plans to work more on the power play des- pite the fact that Michigan "scores enough when we're even." Although the Wolverines played the worse game in many years ac- cording to Renfrew, they came away from the series without any injuries. Even a healthy Wolverine squad should be w a r y of this week's journey to Denver to play the second ranked team in the conference. Denver swept Michi- gan Tech 5-3 and 4-1 as they have won 8 out of their last 9 games. A 'much improved Michi- gan performance will be needed to just stay in the same rink with Denver. And Renfrew warns that he may 'rest' some players ". . . if they don't skate any better than they have been." 4~ fU JOB IN EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGE For Graduate Students who are-Radically Reac- tionary, Liberal, Moderate, Manics to deal with depressive types-and vice versa ROOM AND BOARD PLUS TOKEN SALARY Contact NORM SNUSTAD Main office Residential College-Deadline March 1 Brown rice 30c lb.
