With three-time NCAA breast-
stroke champion Dick Nelson hav-
ing used up his college eligibility
Coach Gus Stager is depending
heavily on Geza Bodolay in this
department.
At the start of the season Stager
had three breaststrokers. But now
Jon Baker is ineligible and sopho-
more Steve Rabinovitch and Bo-
dolay must carry on themselves.
Actually Bodolay was Michigan's
only bona fide breaststroker in last
Saturday's meet against Purdue as
Rabinovitch had been suspended
from the team for that meet only.
Geza, who came to this country
from Hungary during the 1956
revolution, attended high school
in New Jersey where he worked
full time at a tool and die factory
to support himself. He didn't start
swimming competitively until he
came to this country.
Swims Heats
During the qualifying heats of
the 1958 indoor NAAU Meet Sta-
ger first saw Geza and persuaded
him to enroll at Michigan. "I ad-
mire Coach Stager for taking my
word that I'd do my best" said
Geza. Stager commented, "Geza
is a fine competitor. I guessed
right in recruiting him."
Geza is now a senior and has a
fine record of past performances
behind him. In the 200-yard event
last season he swam to a sixth
place finish in the Big Ten Meet
and took a third with a 2:18.1
time in the NCAA Meet.
Against Purdue he turned in his
best time of this season (2:18.8)
to win the 200-yard breaststroke.
This is near the time he was doing
at the end of last season so he ex-
pects to improve his time consid-
erably in the two months that Ore
left of this season.
Geza's toughest competition this
4
season comes from the flock of
outstanding breaststrokers at In-
diana. In Michigan's dual meet
with Indiana two weeks ago Geza
was beaten by Tom Treatheway
and Pete Anderson both of whom
qualified for the finals of the out-
door NAAU Meet last summer. He
will have another opportunity to
try and beat this strong twosome
on February 27 when Michigan
hosts Indiana.
At the present time Geza is try-
ing out a different type of stroke
similar to that of former Michi-
gan swimmer Dick Nelson and
world recordholder Chet Jastrem-
ski of Indiana. "I'm experiment-
ing with it now," said Geza. "It

feels strong and I'm sure it's
faster."
Basically this variation in stroke
consists of delaying the breathing
until after the backward motion
of the arm stroke is complete.
With the head down during the
power motion of the arms, a much
greater force may be exerted.
One big advantage of this type
of stroke is that it allows and al-
most forces the swimmer to
breathe on every stroke instead of
every other stroke as is usually
done. A more important conse-
quence is that it permits the swim-
mer to employ a faster stroke ca-
dence which df course means that
he travels faster in the water.
