Washington OPEN MON. & FRI. NITES 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.

He easily a stopped when he realized that his 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 around.

Leagu 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 the dual meets during the year upset training.

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." I A q TEN SPOTLIGHT: Northwestern Heads for Road, Trouble PRICED '2 OFF AT.

The conference home court advantage now is 14-7. For non- conference play, the home floor margin is a whopping 31-6. Northwestern has had three straight home games since open- ing with a 93-73 win at Michigan. Saturday the Wildcats may start finding out about the facts of basketball life on the conference road. They play a matinee at Illi- nois which gave Northwestern a scare at Evanston, before losing 104-96 on Jan. 10. Illinois now has ,a 2-2 mark. Solid Slush Commented Wildcat coach Lar- ry Glass: "This is a solid Illinois SPECIAL GROUP team we're facing. Since they lost 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- 're a spirited team with the po- tential to beat anyone." 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- er with a 27.5 average, Jim Daw- 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.
