Friday, November 8, ,] 968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Eleven Friday, November 8, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Eleven Seymour tackles name fame U.S. COACH COMPLAINS: Olympic diving judges blasted By PAT ATKINS Phil Seymour does not care much about who won the election, maybe because things like that tend to get obscured by the much more resounding triumphs of the Wolverine football team. Although he, won't single out the Michigan defense as the key to the team's campaign success, Sey- mour: is a member of a defensive unit which has already intercep- ted nine aerials. He is second on the team in unassisted tackles, racking up 44 in Michigan's sev- en games and has made seven big tackles involving losses or fum- bles. At 6'4", his 193 pounds have lots of territory to hover. With his lanky frame Seymour looks more like a basketball star than a foot- ball player. During the winter he does play basketball in the Intra- mural program. From Berkley, a northwestern suburb of Detroit, the starting de-, fansive end is one-fifth of the Seymour family football contin- gent. "Two of my cousins play- ed at Notre Dame, but they didn't letter," he says. And then there are his other two cousins, brothers Paul, of the Wolverine frosh team, and Jim, of Notre Dame. SEYMOUR BLOCK "We all lived within a couple of blocks of each other in Berkley, when 'we were growing up," Sey- mour notes, "but we don't see much of each other anymore." At Salesian High in Detroit he play- ed his first two years as a defen- sive end under Coach Glenn Donahue. Then during his senior year, he moved between t i g h t end and linebacking. On the Michigan freshman team, he was switched back to de- fensive end. He's been there ever, siice, totaling up 202 playing min- utes last year for a letter. daily 'Sports NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL BROWN "Jim and I don't have a rival- ry," he states. But then with an amused smile he adds, "I get a lot of that 'Jim- Seymour's cousin' talk." ECON MAJOR An economics major, he has courses in English, history and business law. One of his class- mates said of him, "Although everybody's trying to talk to him, he doesn't talk back. When he's called on, he just says the an- swer. And he doesn't seem to fool around a lot with the guys." After graduation, Seymour, a Sigma Alpha Epsilon junior, would like to enter the business school at Michigan. "I'd wanted to be a lawyer, but now I'm think- ing of business law," he explains. Normally non-commital, he slips out of his 'reticence, when the talk turns to football. "I still g e t nervous before a game," he says, "but not as much. I guess it's the experience. "It's really impressive to come out into the stadium the f i r s t time. Now, it doesn't look as big." With 101,000 fans watching as in the Michigan State game, impres- sive somehow sounds inadequate. "On the ground you hear the crowd as a unit. But in the Mich- igan State game they were es- pecially noticeable when Mich- igan was going for the s e c o n d touchdown," Seymour comments. OFF HOURS In summer, the football off-sea- son, Seymour works. Between hours as a file clerk for F i s h e r Body last summer, he went out to the golf course. "When I joined ,he football team, I was surprised to find out the number of guys who golfed. It's a good condition- er," he says. Michigan's drive for the roses will rest on the continued ability of the defense "to put on a real' good rush," as Seymour says. "The quarterback hasn't been having time to pick out his receivers." And Michigan's drive for the roses will. rest also on quiet defensive ends like Phil Seymour. "You try naturally to look only at the game- coming up," he says, "but you can't help thinking of the final game." And Phil Seymour, like the rest of the Wolverine fans, is hoping that Michigan doesn't peak before the race comes down to the final fatal day. "s k PHOENIX, Ariz.

Led by the ever running an- nouncing of Coach Newt (Show- man) Loken, the team put on an impressive performance before a crowd of over 150 people. Judging from their routines, many persons were led to com- ment that "the Big Ten title is already wrapped up." Even though Michigan will be hampered by the elimination of the trampoline as an event in na- tional competition, it is expected they will still sweep the confer- ence. Outside of one trampolinist and vaulter, Wayne Miller who grad- uated, last year's team will re- turn intact. Unlike last year, when the team's problem was depth, Coach Loken is unable to decide which gymnast to use where. A huge number- of sophomores provide a pool for Loken to dip in. Coupled with an extremely strong returning core, the gymnasts should be stronger in every event, The strongest events for the Wolverines probably will be the rings, the parallel bars, and vaulting. These three events were very solid last year and will be further bolstered by the sopho- mores.

The high bar, one of the Wol- verines' problem areas last season, should be much improved. The gymnasts' nemisis, the side horse, won't exactly be Michigan's strongest event, but it should be able to hold its own. If the sophs in this event can live up to their billing, it might be one of the team's unexpected bonuses. Smith, who at one time or another coached six of the 11 divers on the team in their pre-t Olympic days, said Russell was the last diver and "had a chance atk even a gold medal, if he got some nines and eights. "He knew he was not in the favor of the judges," said Smith. "He knew he had to come backc from a sub par dive just before."l The coach said Russell respond- ed with a forward one-and-a-half somersault and triple twist which changed the catcalls he had been getting from the fans to an ova- tion. Smith said the crowd, which had been booing and whistling during Russell's earlier dives, turned its wrath on the judges when they announced their 1o w scores.

The Wings spotted the North Stars a fast lead by Danny Grant, who turned in Claude 4.Rose's pass at 1:32 of the )first period and didn't get a shot themselves until 51/2 minutes had elapsed. But then Detroit got in gear and now has won four and tied one of its last six games. The Wings accomplished most of it with- Gordy Howe spending nearly two periods on the bench. Howe assisted on Delvecchio's first goal, the go-ahead marker at 19:17 of the first period, for his 1,600th regular season point. Then after one snift at the start of the second period, he sat out the remainder of the game. Howe sustained a muscle spasm in his back just after scoring his second goal in Chicago Wednesday night.

And since these strips are also porous, they help absorb beer's natural "edge," giving Budweiser its finished taste.
