Scheerer
By DOUG HELLERr
It's an average size apartment r
building, quite well hidden (almost
lost) not too far from the Coli-
seum. But in it resides a large por-
tion of the guts of this year's
swimming team : Captain Carl
Robie, backstroker Rus Kingery,
sprinter Ken Wiebeck, and the
breaststroker who Coach Gus ?
Stager says "should be thinking
about the American record. In-
stead he's just satisfied if he wins
meets.'
Paul Scheerer is THAT breast-
stroker, and record or not, his
credentials are quite impressive.
He was in both 1965 and 1966 the
Big Ten 100 and 200 yard breast-
stroke champion, the National
AAU 100 yard breaststroke cham-
pion in 1965, the NCAA 100 yard
champion in 1966, and was on the
Big Ten champion medley relay
team. In addition, he was All-
American both years.
Scheerer is also a rarity in that '
he started in organized swimming
when he was 15. Since most swim- SENIC
mers of his caliber begin at six or to ano
seven, this is comparable to a base-
ball player making the major and t)
leagues after learning the game to a p
at age 28. Scheerer says "I didn't Schee

arms were tightening up. It seems
that the warning most athletes are BIG
given not to swim is ironic. Swim-
mers shouldn't do anything else.
Despite his Johnny-come-lately
plunge into the sport, this senior
natatory doesn't think he is at any
disadvantage whatsoever to all
the 15-year veterans running CHICE

As evidence, Stager cites Scheer-
er's failure to win the National
AAU's last year, where right after
a top level performance he just
"punked out."
Scheerer counters this with the
statement that he is only at his
peak for a small part of the season.
Not only that, but he feels that

Scheerer also takes some pride
in the overall academic average
of the swimming team, which is
close to 3.00 despite spending two
to three hours per day practicing.
The swimming team this year is
so academically oriented, in fact,

As far as any diversification is
concerned, unlike many members
of the team. Scheerer is only a
breaststroker and will remain lust
that, explaining that he really was
never very fast in anything else
Coach Stager's criticism is an
attempt to aid a good swimmer in
becoming great. "Scheerer has a
lot of talent but is afraid of it."

Northwestern has had three
straight home games since open-

Saturday the Wildcats may start

two of their starters in the Illini
slush fund scandal they've been
benefitting from an intangible fac-
tor that's hard to measure. They-

The Wildcat-Illini second meet-
ing matches the one-two scoring
teams and two 24-point shooters
in Big Ten play.
Northwestern's pacesetting con-
ference average of 96.8 points is
followed, by the Illini's 89.0. While
Iowa's Sam Williams continues as
the Big Ten's top individual scor-

son of Illinois is second with 24.8,
closely trailed by Ohio State's Bill
Hosket with 24.4 and Northwest-
ern's Jim Burns with 24.3.
Second-place Michigan State,
3-1, leads on defense with an av-
erage yield of 71.5 points, follow-
ed by Purdue, 2-2, with 76.5.
