"Yale peaked when it outswam

same can be said of SMVIU when
they defeated us in a dual meet."
In the finals USC finished sec-
ond, Stanford third, Yale fifth,,
and SMU did not even place in
the top ten. Last year Yale was
second and SMU fifth while
Michigan ranked sixth.
"Not only were final times
extremely competitive, but the
preliminaries were equally as
tough," said Stager. "On the first
day we weren't ready for the kind
of times that became necessary.
We had to readjust our thinking."
On that first day Indiana soared
to a quick lead. Hoosier freshman
Mark Spitz set an NCAA record
in the preliminaries for the 500
freestyle, and later took the event.
Yale's Olympian John Nelson se-t

the other teams who had been out-

Indiana's precocious Spitz add-
ed to his honors by being the
meet's first double winner, taking
the 200 freestyle with a record
setting 1:39.5. In the runner-up
spot was Michigan's Bello, clocked
at 1:40.6, more than a second
better than the record set by
Don Schollander a year ago, to
whom Bello also finished second.

in the country. Michigan's other
game was against Wyoming, and
pitcher Ton Fleszar handily beat
them, 10-0.
One of the goals of the spring
trip was to play some games in
good weather. Thus, it was the
team's spring training, preparing
them for the Big Ten season
which starts in two-and-a-half;
weeks. f
This was not a spring training
period, however, for the oppo-
sition. Both the Sun Devils and
the Wildcats enjoy warm weather'
all year around, so they have the
benefit of pre-season outdoor
practice. In fact, Arizona State
met Michigan for its sixteenth
game of this season while the
Wolverines were playing their sec-
ond.
Another purpose served by this
trip was that it gave Coach 'Ben-
edict a chance to see the per-
sonnel. Wolverine fortunes this
year rest upon a solid infield, a
strong catching corps, and a pitch-
ing staff and outfield which lack
depth. It was this last faction
which gave Michigan its trouble
last week.
Pitching had to be the biggest
problem. "The most disappointing
part of the series," commented
Benedict, "was the control prob-
lem, the failure of the pitchers to
find the plate. They walked too
many men, were behind too many
hitters, and had difficulty with
their breakers. Sophomores Jim
Burton and Fleszar did pretty
good jobs, though, taking every-
thing into consideration." Un-
fortunately the Wolverines proved
that pitching is the name of the
game.
The rest of the defense, sparked
by senior third baseman Glenn
Redmon, did a fairly good Job.
"Redmon was outstanding," com-
mented Benedict. 'He hit very
well (currently leading the team)
and is a good instinctive ball
player. This was his best spring
trip by far."
Benedict was quick to note the
fine performance made by other
infielders Chuck Schmidt, short-
stop; Jim Hosler, first baseman;
and Captain Pete Titone, catcher.
"The outfield," admitted the
coach, "is still a little weak."
Hitting was not the trouble for
the Wolverines. They were not
stopped by Gura, scoring three
runs against him. He had only
given up a total of two runs in his
six previous games, boasting an
earned run average of 0.48.
Arizona could not stop the Mich-
igan sluggers, either. Though the
Wolverines only salvaged one vic-
tory in the five-game series, they
out-hit .the Wildcats in three of
those games.
Thus it seems that our young,
inexperienced pitching staff will
determine the fate of the team.
Once again the pro-draft has left
its mark.,
Michigan will return to Mid-
west competition in the home
opener this Saturday against the
University of Detroit.

MIAMI - ROBERTO CLEMENTE of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, plagued by injuries and a spring showing far below his super-
star status, says he gets a bad press when he's injured because he's
black. The press, Clemente says, "thinks I'm faking my injuries be-
cause I'm Puerto Rican and black.
"They say Mickey Mantle's a superstar. He's limping. They say,
'Poor. Mickey.' I play with four stitches in my feet. They don't say
anything about it," Clemente said.
MIAMI - Former heavy weight champion CASSIUS CLAY,

his bills.,

Globetrotter extravaganza in the Events Building. Lemon, (on the left, of course) features a voice
slightly higher than Tiny Tim's falsetto while leading the Harlem ghetto's richest residents in
showing the rest of the world how basketball isn't played. The victims, as usual, were the non-

player on the right). The "contest" drew about 10,000 and the score, if anybody'cares, was A10-97.
