There's trouble in East Lansing.
And it isn't only because Mich-

Indiana tankers are the biggest
threat in the Big Ten Swimming

the Spartan pool.

ages for Michigan posed by indi-

stance, Indiana's sprint superiority
over Michigan could have no sig-
nificant total point effect if Pur-

And maybe Ohio State's diver
Chuck Knorr could neutralize
Sitzberger.
Maybe.
This is also the time for cer-
tain specialty swimmers to show
off. Take Michigan butterflyer
Tom O'Malley, who shines at 100
yards, enough so that he was sec-
ond in the nation last year. Un-'
fortunately, there is no 100 yard
butterfly in dual meets, and
O'Malley has not been prominent
yet this year.
It must be a world's record not
to have mentioned Carl Robie in
a Michigan swimming story up to
now. The indomitable Wolverine
captain is set to go in the 200 yard
butterfly and the 500 yard free-
style, according to Stager, but the
third event he will participate in
is a secret, so nobody can stack
their lineup against him.
It's just possible Indiana isn't
that much of a shoe-in.

However, if it looks as though
Indiana can take it all, at least
on paper, the biggest attempt to
break the traditional Indiana-
Michigan swimming monopoly will
come from the Spartans. A serious
challenge to Michigan's annual
runner-up position suddenly be-
came a reality when State bumped
off the Wolverines, 63-60, on
Jan. 21.
According to Stager, this may
be the real dog fight of the meet.
Only if Indiana stumbles, can it
turn into a legitimate three-way
fight.
