Allen's success
stuns
all
By CINDY LEATHERMAN
As a senior at Palo Alto (Cali-
fornia) High School, Mike Allen
surprised quite a few people by
capturing the eCntral Coast Sec-
tion championship in the 200-yard
freestyle with a time of 1:45.
His best time previously had been
1:49.
As a sophomore at the Univer-
sity of Michigan, Allen did it
again. Only this time, it was in
the 200-yard butterfly for the
Big Ten championship March 1st.
Before this meet, his best time of
the season had been 1:58.9-Al-
len won the event with a 1:53.49.
He not only surprised the spec-
tators in Bloomington, but his
teammates (particularly Lee Bis-
bee and Tom Arusoo, Michigan's
powerful butterfly duet who fin-
ished second and third), his coach
(Gus Stager, who felt he might
be able to capture third at best),
and especially himself.
"It was a surprise," Allen com-
4mented, smiling. "I never swam
butterfly in practice - the last
time I did was my freshman year."
Coach Stager was pleasantly as-
tounded with the 6'4" sophomore.
"We had no idea at all that Mike
would win. I didn't think he was
good enough to beat our two but-
terfliers (Bisbee and Arusoo).
"But he swam a tremendous race,"
Stager continued. "I'm very pleas-
ed with Mike's performance."
There are a lot of factors in-
volved in such an improvement-
a drop of five seconds is quite
significant in swimming times.
The fact that Allen was shaved
down (hair removed from t h e
arms and legs to reduce friction
in the water) can lower a time
as much as one second.
Allen also observed that "every-
one else drops in time too. That's
the way you plan it-to take a big
drop at the big meets: You're justI
too tired during the regular sea-
son."
Certainly practice and atti-
tude have a lot to do with an
athlete's improvement. Allen
swims at least two-and-a-half to
three hours every day. "When the
stroke feels good," he said, "it's
worth it.
"Trouble is, it takes so damn
long. I didn't work out at all last
summer, and I haven't felt good
all season - until the Big Tens."

ford doing research on a collection

Boston
By PHIL HERTZ
One year ago the National In-
vitation, Tournament decided to
increase its field from fourteen to'
sixteen teams because of the abun-
dance of top-flight teams across
the nation. In this year of fewer
top-flight collegiate fives, the NIT
decided to cut four teams from
its field in an attempt to stage
nothing less than a first rate tour-
nament.
Unfortunately for the tourna-
ment directors, their attempt
seems to have fallen short of the
goal as this year's field will further
illustrate the decline of the NIT
which has been continuous since
the early fifties. Then it was open
to all NCAA entrants and at-
tracted iall the top cage quintets
in the country. Now it is limited to
conference runners-up, rejects
from the NCAA tourney, and the
stronger teams from the New York
Metropolitan area.
The 1969 NIT includes seven
second place finishers, Temple
(18-8) from the Middle Atlantic
Conference, Tennessee (18-6) from
the Southeastern Conference, Wy-
oming (19-8) from the Western
Athletic Conference, Ohio (16-8)
from the Mid-American Confer-
ence, Kansas (20-6) from the Big
Eight, Louisville (20-5) from the
Missouri Valley Conference, and
South Carolina (20-6) from the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
College heads
NIT
There are also four New York
area teams, Rutgers (20-3), Ford-
ham (17-8), St. Peter's (20-6),
and Army (16-8). None of the
teams, however, played a really
strong schedule,
Three NIT participants, West
Texas State (17-7), Southern Il-
linois (16-7), and Boston College
(21-3) were independent powers
rejected by the NCAA tournament,
and two other entrants, Tulsa (19-
7) from the Missouri Valley Con-
ference and Florida (18-8) from
the Southeastern Conference, were
only able to finish third in their
resective leagues.
Only four of the quintets in the
tourney received mention in the
final Associated Press Poll. South
Carolina was rated thirteenth,
Louisville fifteenth, Boston Col-
lege sixteenth, and Kansas nine-
teenth. kansas, Louisville, and
South Carolina all have suffered
defeats since the poll was publish-
ed, and Kansas has been downhill
since February when the Jay-
hawkers' top ballplayer, Jo-Jo
White graduated. -
Pre-season decisions by the
NCAA, which barred La Salle and
St. Bonaventure, two top Eastern
powers, from post-season tourna-
ments because of rule violations
further weakened the potential, at
least indirectly, for a strong NIT
field.
As things stand now, only Bos-
ton College, which defeated NCAA
bound Duquesne by 20 points last
week, has the talent to dominate
the 1969 NIT; however, even Bos-
ton College will have to be wary
of the cinderella teams, that have
become to prevalent in recent
tourneys.
Two teams that made surprising
showings in the two most recent
tournaments are entered in this
year's NIT; Southern Illinois
which stunned Eastern basketball
writers by capturing the tourna-
ment crown last season when it
competed as a smallcollege team;
and St. Peters, co-champion of the
Metropolitan Conference.
That year the Salukis were led
by Walt Frazier, who went on to
stardom with the .New York
Knicks, and a sophomore named
Dick Garrett, who has achieved
all-american status this year. Gar-
rett, a 6'3" forward, who has oc-
casionally played guard, has aver-
aged 20 points a game for each of
his three seasons. He leads a bal-
anced team which' features four
I starters who average in double
figures. Coach Jack Hartman's
squad has also been aided by a
strong defense that has yielded
only 63 points a game, good
enough to place the Salukis thir-
teenth in the nation in that cate-
gory.
Over the regular season, South-
ern Illinois was inconsistent, but
the Salukis did finish the cam-
paign by winning four of their
last five contests. The Salukis may
be gaining the consistancy they
lacked all year, if so, the so-called
power teams of the NIT will have
to contend with them.
St. Peter's, also must be counted
as a threat. -Last year the Pea-
cocks stunned the sport world
when they trounced a strong Duke
squad, 100-79, and then went on
to capture fourth place in the
NIT. Then St. Peter's featured a
strong, fast ball club, which, was
one of the top offensive teams in
the country; however, St. Peter's
lost four of its five starters, and
Peacock Coach Don Kennedy was.
forced to build his team around,
the one returnee, Elnardo Webster.
Webster, however, was no or-
dinary ballplayer. As Kennedy
says, "Webster is a tremendous
player. St.Peter's has}never had
a ballplayer like him before." Last
year Webster averaged 25 points
and 13 rebounds a game. He also
set an NIT scoring mark of 51
points when St. Peter's defeated
Marshall. This year the big "El"
has been averaging 23 points and
15 rebounds.

night at Madison Square Garden.
