By CINDY LEATHERMAN
"You're not too impressed with
him at first. You have to get to
know Lee Bisbee to understand
the quality in him," noted Coach
Gus Stager.
Bisbee is the captain of the Wol-
verine swimming squad this year,
and deservedly so. But he is the
first to explain that he 'doesn't
like to be called "captain." "I feel
it's more of an honor-all the
other seniors on the team are cap-
tains in their own way," he com-
mented.
But there are some special quali-
ties in Bisbee that connote a more
than ordinary leader. And Stager
is probably more aware of these
attributes than anyone.
"Lee makes it easier for himself
in leading others by performing
well pra.ctice-wise," Stager ob-
served. "In fact, he works so hard
in practice, he's sometimes a little
run down for the meet.
"But he's doing what we want
him to do," Stager continued. "He
keys the guys up when it's needed,
for example.- But more important
than this, Lee helps with the dis-
cipline on the team. You very
rarely find a captain who would
have the 'guts' to do this. The
better he does his job, the easier
4 my job is made."
If it's an example to follow that
marks a good leader, Bisbee is
certainly doing his job. Swimming
since the seventh grade, his high
school career in Jackson, Michi-
gan, was outstanding. He won the
conference championship every
0 year as well as All-State and All-
American honors his senior year.
Bisbee's specialty is the butter-
fly. "I swam backstroke in junior,

"My Dad wanted me to piBch,
and my brother to catch-prefer-
ably for the Washington Sen-
ators," he reflected. But a brief
Little League career and a crucial
inning in which he walked thir-
teen men quickly brought an end
to any aspirations Bisbee might
have hadsabout becoming a b se-
ball great.
The summer after his freshmtan
year at Michigan, Bisbee perform-
ed well enough at the AAU's to
win a trip to the Middle East.
"That was one of my biggest re-
wards from swimming," he said.
"We spent six weeks in Algeria,
Tunesia, Afghanistan, Lebanon,
and all around there."
His sophomore year saw hin

STRIKE TALKS S-TALL:
Kuhn to seek structui
By The Associated Press
BOSTON - Bowie Kuhn, base-
ball's new commissioner, says one
of the major objectives during his
r term in office will be the restruc-
turing of major league baseball.-
"There'll alwLys be an American
League and a National League,",
Kuhn )said, "but, in the future
they will have less impact on the
game gs separate entities."
Kuhn, a tall and articulate
New York attorney, said the game
itself has been under quite a bit
of criticism lately, and this, too,
will come under his restructuring
program.
I "But," he added, "baseball is
more apple pie than apple pie. It
still has a stronghold in t h I S
country and I don't think it is
anything less than a sensational
part of the American scene."
, As to the threatened players
strike, Kuhn said he is confident
owners and players will, come to
terms before spring training be-
gins. He said he has "no inten-
tion of being a compulsory arbi-
trator" in - the dispute.

"We've hit a snag," said John4

Gaherin refused to reveal what,
the new problem entailed but ad-
mitted that the talks had at least
temporarily stalled.I
"We are continuing to talk," heI
said. -"We've made progress in
the last several meetings, but I

The first test of the threatened

WASHINGTON - Vince Lom-
bardi named a six man coaching
staff yester.day to help him try to
4rebuild the Washington Redskins
of the National Football League.
The crew includes two former
head coaches and. two Redskins
holdovers.
Lombardi tapped Harland Svare,
former boss of the Los Angeles
Rams, to take charge of the Red-
skins' defense.
Bill Austin, deposed Pittsburgh
Steelers coach, will have over-all
responsibility on offense.
Other staff members will include
George Dickson, who will handle
the offensive backfield. Dickson
has been in charge of the offense
for the New Orleans Saints theI
past .two years.
Lew Carpenter will also work
on offense with his specialty being
the ends. Carpenter is one of Lom-
bardi's former players ind has
coached with Minnesota and At-
lanta.
Mike McCormack and Don Doll,
both Redskins holdovers will join
Svare on the defensive staff. Mc-
Cormack was once an All-Star

A minor surprise resulted when
former Atlanta head coach Norb

bardi are expected now for some
time, if at all.
