q PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATUBDAY.,FEBRUARY 5,1966 IN MINNEAPOLIS: Swim Team Battles Gophers in Dual Meet By BOB McFARLAND The Wolverine tankers launch their powerful flotilla again today in an attempt to sink their Min- nesota foes and rack up their fourth dual meet victory of 1966 without a defeat. Michigan will be facing a young Gopher squad in Minneapolis, de- void of such stars as Wally Rich- ardson and Mike Stauffer who led Minnesota last year. As their head coach Bob Mowerson terms it, "I'm afraid we'll be down a bit this year." Only eight lettermen returned this season for the Gophers. Buoy- ing up the inexperienced Min- nesota swimmers are co-captains Jim Dragon and Don Spencer, along with diver John Romstad. Not Musch Sweat "Minnesota shouldn't be too tough," Michigan coach Gus Sta- ger said yesterday. "We're taking a small group, only eleven swim- mers and two divers, but every- one we're bringing along is a good swimmer," Stager noted. "Everyone will have to swim in two or three events, and put out a good effort. But we're expecting to win," Stager continued. Stager reported that Spencer's best time this season in the 200- yard butterfly, his specialty, is "around 2:03 or 2:04." Michigan's Carl Robie has turned in a 1:55.6 for the distance this season in comparison. However, Robie didn't make the trip today, and it's up to Tom O'Malley and John Salassa to take care of Spencer. Regarding Romstad, who placed 10th nationally last season in div- ing, Stager's opinion was that "we ought to be able to handle him." Bruce Brown and junior Bob Walmsley will be representing the Wolverines in that depart- ment. Number One!' Romstad, Spencer, and the re- mainder of the Gopher squad, many of whom are untested soph- omores, will be meeting in the Wolverines the nation's number one ranked team, according to the inost recent Swimming Magazine ratings.

And it was far and away the most exciting match-up, the wildest thriller, in all of Michigan's his- tory as a basketball power. The Hoosiers had it all wrapped up. They had cut the undefeated Wolverines down in their only Face closer to the truth than they had ever desired.

Little 5'10" Vern Payne, shoot- ing .449 from the floor, could only keep Indiana within yelling distance at Yoste Fielde House (no youngster itself) with his season's high 25 points. Back Home in Indiana But back home in Indiana, where they dreamed that they could see the championship wrap- ped up last year, feelings run high have shown their individual abili- ties to score big. They have just never put it together . . . yet. Hoosiers don't take their basket- ball lightly. They never have. They never will.

Minnesota had a fair 4-4 record last year, and is now rebuilding, but the Wolverines will head into the meet with just 11 men to pro- tect a perfect 3-0 dual meet record for this year. dividual members of the Wol- verine squad. Russ Kingery, who will be teaming with Tom Wil- liams as the Michigan entries inj the 200-yard backstroke today, was listed as third in the country' for his 1:59.4 effort. Olympian Bill Farley, who will be swimming in the 100-yard free- style and 500-yard f r e e s t y l e against Minnesota, placed third in the 500-yard ratings. Williams will also be participating in the 1000, while Farley will be backed up by Rich Walls in the 500. The Wolverines' 400-yard free- style relay team has turned in the top time of the season with a 3:12.5, and Michigan's 400-yard medley relay squad ranks second, right behind Indiana. Robie's 1:55.6 is :00.4 better than the second place time, owned by Kevin Berry of Indiana. The breaststroke also has a Michigan representative, Paul Scheerer, who is rated second. Taking into consideration the Wolverines' formidable national! recognition, the Gophers may havej a rough task even denting the Michigan record today. One thingI that the Wolverine natators can accomplish in a meet like this one, even if the competition does not rate among the best, is im- provement of their times, and perhaps qualification of a few more swimmers 'for the NCAA Championships. 'Must Be Faster' "The times have got to get better if we're going to accom- plish anything in the Big Ten Championships," Stager pointed, out. "Our next two big peaks are the Indiana meet and the Big Ten's." Many of the Michigan clockings already qualify tankers for the NCAA meet, which Stager regards as the rougher of the two na- tional gatherings, the other being the AAU meet. "The NCAA's have much greater depth," Stager ex- plained. The break-off time for qualify- ing is prefigured every year, based on the fifteenth best time in the nation the year before. Stager was instrumental in the adoption of this system which replaced one in which each school could enter an unlimited number of swimmers in the NCAA Championships. Unmanageable "Under the old rules, you would usually havetabout six heats, which gets pretty unmanageable," the Michigan mentor explained. "At times, you would have good swimmers failing to qualify for the finals because they were plac- ed in a slow group. Now, we try to keep it down to three heats for each event." Also, the first three placers in each event of the Big Ten Cham- I pionships qualify for the meet automatically. meeting of the year.

It took them 45 seconds to do it. If McCracken had been a cigar man he would have choked on it. How Now? The overtime period started badly for the Wolverines. The crowd was sure this time. This was it for Michigan. Lightening can't strike twice in the same place, and especially not in In- diana's venerable old firetrap. They were sure that Michigan couldn't make up six point in less than a minute again, even with their press. But not that sure. They were loud, yes. But seeing is believing, even for the impos- sible. Well they'd just seen it, and they were taking no chances on another embarassing situation, no matter how slim the chances of a comeback were.

(P) - The latest round in the battle of the sexes was fought yesterday when the male managing editor of the Yale Daily News trounced his fe- male counterpart on the Harvard Crimson in a game of jacks. John Rothchild, outfitted in a tuxedo for the occasion, hardly worked up a sweat as he went all the way from onesies to tensies in only five tries. Jack in the Basket He reported this feat using the more difficult "eggs in a basket" method while Miss Linda McVeigh was still working on her first sixies. The match was the result of Miss McVeigh's being appointed the first female managing editor of the Harvard student newspaper. In challenging Miss McVeigh to the traditionally female sport, Rothchild had said, "I suspect that you, like other fair sex co- horts, have become so good at be- ing male that you could beat me easily in any sort of wrestling or drinking bout. So I challenge you at your ininity." SRO Crowd The entrance of Miss McVeigh. into the jacks ring was heralded by a troup of young boys distribut- ing balloons to the approximately 200 observers. Rothchild was seconded by his paper's executive editor, Winthrop Conrad, who presented Miss Mc- Veigh with two sets of jacks and balls on a silver platter. Miss McVeigh chose the set closest to her for the competition. Fight Harvard Fiercely When Yale had reached tensies for the first time and was pre- paring for "eggs in a basket," Miss McVeigh predicted, "I'm going to get whipped." When the final whistle was blown by the referee, Polly Pre- linger, 8, of New Haven, and Roth- child was declared the winner, the partisan audience of , Yale stu- dents broke into a spirited rendi- tion of the Yale fight song. weakest point - fem- the match, Miss McVeigh said, "I don't think the loss makes me any less feminine; it just proves that John is more feminine." The Radcliffe junior became more kindly disposed toward her former opponent a few minutes later, however, when he demon- strated his masculinity by kissing her several times, presumably for the benefit of cameramen. A Real Sport After the sportsmanliks demon- stration, Rothchild issued a state- ment through his second which read: "I won the jacks match, but my truthful admission is I lost the war. "Miss McVeigh's obvious fem- inine charms are not without evi- dence. I concede to her' feminin- ity, as well as her ability to boss around those poor hapless males in the Marvard Crimson news- room.
