"Yale peaked when it outswam Stanford during the season. The 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 cured a mere fourteenth place. Indiana then swept one meter diving, the 400 medley relay, and! the 200 individual medley. Winner Charlie Hickcox, Indiana super- fish, barely took the event from! Michigan's Juan Bello by a tenth of a second. Wolverine Gary Kin-, kead ranked eleventh. "On the second day we had re- adjusted," noted Stager. "We were up for the preliminaries and swam! much better. Some swimmers on! the other teams who had been out- standing during the regular ea- son failed in the finals. They didn't adjust." 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.

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. -Daily-Larry Robbins Lee Bisbee, Juan Bello, Gary Kinkead, and Dick Rydze (l. to r.)

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, who prefers to be known as Muhammad Ali, says he will bow to the wishes of Muslim leaders and give up talk of a ring comeback, the Miami News reported Monday. Ali was slapped down by Elijah Muhammad, head of the Muslim sect, after Ali said he wanted to fight again in order to pay ,some of his bills., 9 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Los Angeles Dodger Center- fielder WILLIE DAVIS suffered a hairline fracture of his right arm when he was struck by a pitch by Atlanta relief hurler Claude Ray- mond, it was learned Sunday.
