for a second, and then a third
consecutive crown.
Hanley then came to Michigan,
and as a member of the freshman
team, participated in the great-
est shellacking ever given the var-
sity. At the end of his freshman
year, Hanley traveled to Yale for
the National AAU championships.
Swimming in his first AAU
meet, the youthful Wolverine
moved into the spotlight as one of
the "greats" in the nation. He
whipped the veteran star, Ford
Konno, in the 220-yd. freestyle
for the first of his five national
championships.
Sets Records
The next summer, Hanley was
still on the rise; first he set a new
world's record for the 100-meter
freestyle with a dazzling :56.3;
then he went on to Detroit and
qualified for the American Olym-
pie squad and the trip to Mel-
bourne. For three months Hanley
trained in Hawaii and Australia.
Against the greatest swimmers

in the world, he won a second
place silver medal for the 800-
meter freestyle relay, and finished
well up in the 100-meter event.
More Records
Returning from "down under,"
Hanley hadn't finished with the
record book. In the Big Ten
championships at Minneapolis, he
swam perhaps his finest race as
he broke both the worlds' records
for the 220-yd. and 200-meters.
Then came 1957, a year in which
Hanley didn't faintly resemble the
Hanley of previous years. A frank
and outspoken athlete, Hanley
said, "I was just fed up with
swimming. If the desire and en-
thusiasm are gone, so is the great-
ness."
Not "Over the Hill"
When asked if he thought he
was on the decline, he comment-
ed, "I don't believe it is possible
for a swimmer my age to be 'over
the hill.' Each year it becomes
harder and harder to get in shape
and harder to get interest aroused,

DICK HANLEY
.. .out to regain form

but I'm stronger than ever before.
With the '60 Olympics coming, my
desire to swim should increase
more and more."
Speaking of the present and
Michigan's chances, Hanley con-
cluded, "I don't see how this team
can possibly be beat." With a
strong and successful Hanley, one
indeed has to wonder . . . how?

Lack of Depth No Longer Problem
Facing Stager 's Swimming Squad

By DICK MINTZ
Lack of depth, a problem faced
by swim coach Gus Stager in the
opening months of last season, has
apparently vanished this year as

an awesome Wolverine squad
readies itself to defend the NCAA
and Big Ten titles.
Speculative Matter
In '57 Cy Hopkins and Dick
Hanley were expected to be the
team's big point getters as evi-
denced by their tremendous efforts
the previous year. Dick Kimball,
NCAA diving champ that year,

John Smith, Pete Fries and Al-
varo Gaxiola turned in superlative
performances in the Big Meets.
Tashnick alone among them, how-
ever, was able to garner first
places in his favored butterfly
events.
The graduation to the varsity of
a highly touted freshman squad
will mark this one of the most

"The Big Ten and NCAA cham-

3 good wishes

. . . because things change . .. world events shake us ...
sometimes disturb our faith . .. the symbols of the Christmas
Season become more valuable each year Even those who are
not of the Christian faith will share this joy because Christmas
symbols have become universally beloved.
3 crowns-3 kings--3 good wishes. Three crowned kings
paid homage to the man of humble birth, each expressing
with his gift, his wish for the future of the Bethlehem child.
At this joyous holiday time, all of us reflect upon the source
of our joy, and we find it stems from the honor we pay to the
humility of a king. We re-pledge a vow to emulate his humility
--pull our family ties a little closer-renew affections through
sending good wishes to friends.
The holiday season is rich in rewards for everyone of every
faith. Greene's sends to you its wishes for a happy Christmas
day, and its hopes that the symbols of Christmas will continue
to grow in meaning for you and your family.
