Chili Co. :.. P.O. Box 747A "^ Dearborn, Mich. 48121 By NORM SCHERR It's spring again. Green will re- turn, flowers will bloom, and In- diana will probably capture the NCAA swimming crown. As con- sistent as the seasons, the peren- nial powers, Indiana, Yale, Stan- ford, USC, Michigan, UCLA and SMU, will compete for top honors in the NCAA Championship Finals at Bloomington, Indiana, today, and Saturday. According to Michigan Swim- ming Coach Gus Stager, "Indiana has the depth to retain the title, but Yale might make' the waters a little rougher." The Elis have won 52 consecu- tive dual meets, including a 71-42 swamping of Stanford, and are strong in the relay events. But Indiana will have the advantage of familiar Royer Pool, where the Hoosiers have never been defeated, and an outstanding freshman crop, now eligible under a recent Big Ten ruling, to strengthen the ranks of their varsity stars. "Even Yale's second-place posi- tion isn't completely secure," com- mented Stager. "Stanford and USC will make their challenge, while the remaining top spots will be contested by Michigan, UCLA, SMU and Long Beach St." Although Michigan is not in contention for the title, the Wol- verines will seek to regain at least fifth place from SMU, who dis- placed them from that slot by a slim one point margin in 1968.1 Michigan's determination is im- pressive. "Enthusiasm has been the key- word in practice leading to the finals," claimed Stager. "We've been putting out the extra effort needed. Lee Bisbee and Tommy Arusoo have turned in their best practice sets ever, and I can ex- pect good performances from Gary Kinkead and Mike Mahoney. "This enthusiam is essential," Stager continued, "because keen competition ended with the Big Ten Finals a month ago. The time lag and the fact that West Coast finals ended just two weeks ago STANFORD'S RICK EAGLESTON wins the 50 freestyle against UCLA, in a meet earlier this season. Eagleston will also be a major threat at the coming NCAA Championships in Bloomington, Indiana. The University of Indiana is favored to take the crown this year and will have ,the home pool ad- vantage. Michigan will also be there, but isn't expected to raise any eyebrows. points to the importance of keep- ing morale and drive high." i Other Michigan tankers partici- pating at Bloomington include Greg Zann, Mike Allen, Mike Casey, and Juan Bello, who has a good chance to take the 200 free- style and will serve as anchor man for the promising 400 medley re- lay along with Kinkead, Mahoney and Bisbee. Freshman Greg Gos- horn will fill the backstroke posi- tion. The Wolverines' entries will be about the same as in the Big Ten Finals at Wisconsin, which In- diana dominated as usual, with Michigan in its customary second slot, a position it has held for the past eight years. Not to be overlooked is the diving competion, which Michigan Diving Coach Dick Kimball de- scribes as a "Big Ten sport." "In the 1968 Championship, Big Ten schools took nine out of twelve places in one meter com- petition, and 10 of 12 in the three meter," Kimball stated. "This year's Michigan contingent will include Jay Meaden, who placed eleventh last year, Dick Rydze, Bruce McManahan and Paul Mc- Guire." If diving is a Big Ten sport it is' also an "Indiana sport." In last year's competition, the Hoosiers scored a first, second, third, fourth, two fifths and sixths, an eighth and a twelfth. Returning will be Olympic Bronze medalists Jim Henry and Win Young, along with a crop of promising soph- omores. If diving is an Indiana specialty, then swimming is the Hoosier's forte. The Hoosiers' roster glitters from a cache of Olympic metal. Heading the list is superfish Char- lie Hickcox, Indiana's most ver- satile merman, who holds gold medals in the 200 and 400 meter individual medleys, a silver in the 100 meter backstroke, and ,wam on the winning 400 meter medley relay team. At the '68 NCAA's, he captured the 200 individual med- ley, and the 100 and 200 back- stroke. Teammate Don McKenzie cap- tured gold medals in the 100 meter breaststroke and the 400 meter medley relay. Mark Spitz, who owns four Olympic medals, will compete in the freestyle events. One of his opponents will be Michigan's Bello, himself an lip Olympic winner. Including Cana-! dian Olympian George Smith, In- diana can boast 12 medals in swimming alone. Despite this formidable wave of talent, Yale has some reason fors its challenge. In 1968 Champion- ship swimming events, Yale actu- ally outscored Indiana 253-249, but failed to take a point in diving. Even with the loss of Schollander, the Elis still retain much of their muscle, particularly in the freestyle events. Captain; Robin Waples and Steve Job head the sprinters while Olympian John Nelson and Mike Cadden cover middle and long distances. Yale also features Olympian Phil Long, defending NCAA 200! breaststroke champ, backstroker Ed Bettendorf and Olympic win- ner Dave Johnson in the 200 in- dividual medley. The West Coast attack will center around Stanford's John Ferris and Brent Berk, Olympic team members, sprinter Rick' Eagleston, together with strong relay squads, and USC's free- stylers Andy Strenk, Greg Fink, and Greg Charlton, who took the 500 freestyle event last year. Wayne stte star to travel; Hayes captures scoring title By The Associated Press 0 DETROIT - Wayne State's bearded tennis player, Kenneth Meyers, has been permitted to join his teammates on a pre-season tour through the South. But a university spokesman said no decision has been made yet on whether Meyers will be allowed to stay on the team. The 22-year-old player called a news conference last week after the school's tennis coach and athletic director told him he would be dropped from the team if he didn't shave. Prior t othe incident, Meyers had been rated the top player on the team. If he is dropped Meyers would lose his $400 yearly ath- letic scholarship. ! NE YORK - Elvin Hayes, the Big E of San Diego, became the first rookie in nine years to win the individual scoring champion- ship of the National Basketball Association. Fnal statistics released by the league yesterday showed the 6-foot-9 star scored 2,327 points in 82 games for an average of 28.4. Not since Wilt Chamberlain, then with Philadelphia, did it in 1960 has a rookie won the NBA scoring title. Chamberlain scored 2,707 points in 72 games that season. Chamberlain, now with the Los Angeles Lakers, had the best field goal percentage, .583, and Larry Siegfried of the Boston Celtics was tops in free throws with an .864 percentage. Chamberlain was the leader in rebounds with 1,712 for an av- erage of 21.1 per game while Oscar Robertson set the pace in assists' with 722 for 9.8 per game average. ! LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The decision by the rules committee of the National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada to retain a no dunking provision has drawn disdainful reactions from several coaches. John Dromo, University of Louisville coach, said he thought the committee was "missing the boat" by not rescinding the rule, which prohibits players from leaping into the air and stuffing the ball through the hoop. Several new rules and refinements of old rules also were adopted by the committee to take effect next season. The panel decided a jump ball shall be called when any closely guarded player in the front court holds the ball for more than five seconds. Fagan said this eliminates a previous, ruling which freed the post man from the five-second requirement if he was waiting to throw the ball to a cutting teammate or some other player. * * * * *!BOSTON-Promoter Bill Veeck is wasting no time making the most of the girl jockey fad currently sweeping the country.
