15, H196 15. 1961 THE MICHIGAN JDAILY.P( PAGE WOMEN SET RECORDS: Swim Club Gets N( (4 By JAN WINKELMAN Women's competitive swimming .s coming into its own this year at the University. Two reasons for the newfound importance- of women's speed Swimming on campus are the numerous record performances of University swimmers during the past season, and the addition of many new, talented freshmen to the University of Michigan Speed Swim Club. The University of Michigan Speed Swim Club is sanctioned and sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association and repre- sents the University in women's swimming circles. The club's coach, Mrs. Rose- mary Dawson, is quick to em- phasize that not all the club's affiliates are stars. She says that "The club strives to help any- one interested in competitive swimming at the University." The records have been estab- lished mainly by the versatile 250-yd. women's indoor breast- stroke recordholder, Susan Rogers. She finished second only to Chris Von Saltza in individual points at the Women's Nationals held last April. In addition Miss Rogers holds the American record for the 100-yd. breaststroke Indoor event. New freshmen entering the Uni- versity and expected to compete for the University of Michigan Speed Swim Club are plentiful. Eliminate Bowl Games, MS U's Daugherty Says f soriated Press Sports writer Duffy Daugherty, football coach of Michigan State, thinks they ought to get rid of bowl games. He would replace them with an orderly program of NCAA play- offs and a series of all-star games. There are too many bowl games and their elimination would re- move objections some educators have toward prolonging the foot- ball season to January, says the Michigan State coach. His suggestions are for an NCAA playoff to name a legiti- mate national champion within three weeks after the regular season ended and senior bowl games between all-stars of the various conferences, rather than the multitude of bowl games which now crowd the calendar. Spread Revenue The television revenue from playoff and bowl games should be spread through the country, he says. "Eventually I hope the NCAA adopts a football playoff like the one in basketball or baseball," Daigherty declares. "They have playoffs in nearly all the other sports, so why not in football? We could complete them in three weeks and have an established na- tional champion. Polls don't de- termine which team is the best in Home Game Tickets Left By JAN WINKELMAN "Contrary to widespread popu- lar opinion, tickets are still avail- able to all home football games this fall." Don Weir, University ticket manager, had this heartening news for many students who thought themselves unable to pur- chase extra tickets for family members and friends. Weir em- phasized that there are tickets available for both the Michigan State game, Oct. 14, and the Ohio State game, Nov. 30 during Thanksgiving vacation. 'Although we are way ahead of last year's sales," commented Weir,. "many tickets are as yet unpurchased for most home games." Scarce for Two He went on to add that tickets are scarce for only two games, those against Michigan State and Ohio State; yet, despite the fact there are not numerous tickets remaining for these games, seats can be purchased at the ticket office., "There is much space remain- ing for the two traditionally popular occasions of Homecoming and Band Day," said Weir. Band Day, in which 197 different school bands will participate, is Sep- tember 30, when the Wolverines tackle UCLA. The Band Day pa- gent has become increasingly popular each year as the caliber and size of the colorful halftime performance increases. Homecoming this year ,will be against Purdue, October 21. Many good seats remain unclaimed for this classic which comes at the climax of the football season. Perfection in smoking qualities dnd workmanship ' the country. The only way to find out is to have them play." Major Champs He added that "we could take the champions from the six major conferences-the Big Eight, thej Southeastern Conference, t h e Southwest Conference, the Big Ten, the Atlantic Coast and Pa- cific Coast-and add two teams at large to take care of the pow- erful independents and other strong teams that might come from places like the Big Six. "The first week after the reg- ular season, there'd be four play- off games. They could be held at the Cotton Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl, for example. The second week there'd be two games be- tween the semi-finalists. The third week we'd have the cham- pionship game." He said that if bowl games still were wanted they could be played as senior bowls-maybe have the seniors of the Southwest Confer- ence play the Big Ten seniors 'in the Cotton Bowl and games like that. They'd use players who had completed their eligibility. "Bowl games are promoted by civic minded committees who want to bring people into town and pro- mote their cities," says Daugherty. "They don't keep the money. In- stead of losing their games the big bowls would actually be gain- ing a game or two by having the playoffs and the senior bowls. Al- so you wouldn't have the same teams grabbing the big bowl plums every year. The same teams would very seldom get to the finals." Daughtery would like to see the TV revenue split between all the teams participating in the play- off scheme. That could amount to more than 100 schools. "It would bring in revenue which is sorely needed by many schools to operate other sports which don't make money the way foot- ball does," Daugherty observes. ew Stars Sue Clifford of Miami Shores, Florida, is counted on by the swim club's coach, Mrs. Dawson, to bolster the swim club's al- ready fine freestyle relay team. Besides swimming the 100-yd. freestyle in :58.0, Sue has done the 100-yd. backstroke in 1:06. Barbara Nullmeyer from New York barely missed making the Olympic team last year, losing a berth on the squad by a mere tenth of a second. She has been in the finals of the Women's Na- tionals in both freestyle and backstroke. Local fans are familiar with another entering freshman swim- mer. She is Sue Thrasher of Ann Arbor who has previously been a standout performer on the Ann Arbor Swim Club, also coached by Mrs. Dawson. Placed Second Miss Thrasher was second in the national long distance (three miles) freestyle by less than a second. She placed in both the 100 and 200 meter butterfly events at the outdoor women's nationals which were held at Philadelphia August 8-11. June Mori from Japan, Becky Walther who is Ohio Women's diving champion, and Sarah Watts from Washington, D.C., are all top notch divers who are enter- ing the University as Freshmen. Carolyn Coffman, from Wash- ington, D.C., is a national stand- out butterflier. Lejune Rogers from Detroit, according to Mrs. Dawson, "may be the first Negro swimmer to better one minute for the women's 100-yd. freestyle." Strong Nucleus The addition of so many tal- ented freshmen enhances an al- ready fine bunch of returning swimmers, which include Eileen Murphy who finished 4th in the 100-yd. backstroke event this summer at the nationals, Connie Mayzies, Marty Sinn and the speedy Jones sisters, Marsha and Sperry. Returning sophomore divers who all were National semifinalists in- clude Karen Ryan, Gretchen Groth, and Linda Lyle. Besides the many well-known women swimmers who have com- peted for the swim club, the Uni- versity also has in attendance as a sophomore Olympic gold medal winner, Joan Spillane. Women's Meets Held A third factor which should greatly popularize women's com- petitive swimming at the Univer- sity is the innovation of inter- university swim meets between the University of Michigan swim club and the University of Toron- to, Bowling Green, Western On- tario, and Michigan State. Swim club coach, Rosemary Dawson is the daughter of Matt Mann, predecessor to present men's varsity swimming coach Gus Stager. Mrs. Dawson spent the summer coaching swimmers in Japan and Puerto Rico and opti- mistically looks forward to taking her swim club to the nationals in April. White Sox Sign Joyce For Bonus By JIM BERGER Mike Joyce, star sophomore hurler for the Michigan baseball team last season, has signed with the Chicago White Sox for a bonus of approximately $45,000. Joyce joins last year's Michigan standout, Bill Freehan, in the pro- fessional ranks. Freehan signed earlier this season with the Tigers for a $100,000 bonus. Michigan baseball coach Don Lund learned of Joyce's actions only after the contract had been signed. "I wasn't completely sur- prised with Mike's signing," said Lund, "although I didn't know about it officially, I heard it from the grapevine. Own Decision "It was a decision Mike had to make for himself," continued the Michigan mentor, "he has always wanted to make his career ini pro- fessional baseball; he discussed it with his dad and that was it." Freehan and Joyce, both from Houston Tops but AFL Race Tighter i E Z t t t t C E E t t f c t I E after its head start on the rival National Football League last week. In last week's games, the Hous- ton Oilers, defending AFL cham- pions, swamped the Oakland Raiders, 55-0; the New York Ti- tans squeaked by the Boston Pa- triots, 21-20; the Denver Broncos downed the Buffalo Bills, 22-10; and the San Diego Chargers sur- prized the Dallas Texans, 24-10. This weekend, Denver will face Boston in a Saturday night game and New York and Buffalo, and Oakland and San Diego will square off in Sunday afternoon tilts. Cannon Back Houston's offense still centers around Billy Cannon and aging quarterback George Blanda. Also, the Oilers hope to get a full sea- son of action out of former Ohio State All-American fullback, Bob White, who was hobbled almost all of last season with leg in- juries. If they are to repeat as champions, however, they must improve'their offensive line, which was singularly ineffective during the second half of last season on running plays. The Buffalo Bills had the league's best defense last year but finished third in the Eastern di- vision, principally because of of- fensive difficulties. With the re- tirement of Tommy O'Connell, the Bills will go all the way with. By PETE DiLORENZI former Penn Stater Richie Lucas Only three games are on tap at quarterback. Rookie running this weekend as the American backs Art Davis from Syracuse, Football League takes a breather and Fred Brown from Georgia are expected to beef up the Bills' ground attack. ' Defensive Problems The New York Titans, on the other hand, face exactly the op- posite problem - they scored more points than any other team in the AFL yet finished with only a 7-7 record. Heading the free-scoring offense is quarterback Al Dorow, former Michigan Stater who com- pleted 26 touchdown passes !astj year. Other offensive sparkplugs are halfback Don Maynard, ends Art Powell, and Joe Biscaha. In order to hold their ground in the Eastern Division, however, the Ti- tans must make considerable de- fensive improvements. The Boston Patriots plan to in- stall a great many newcomers on both their offensive and defensive teams in an attempt to improve on their poor 5-9 showing of last year. Babe Parilli appears to have taken over the starting quarterback slot from the ancient Butch Songn. Injuries Hurt Injuries kept the Dallas Texans down to an 8-6 record last season. In addition to the fact that the Texans lost three games by a total of four points.

They will room together1 for the first semester this year atf Michigan. Both plan on continu-v ing their education.f Knew Intentionst Although he was not completelyt aware of the signing, Lund had known of Joyce's intentions of playing professional ball. "I dis- cussed the pros and cons of play- ing pro ball with Mike and I pointed out the benefits of an education," said Lund. Naturally, with the loss of the' star hurler and the star hitter, Michigan's baseball future doesn't look as bright as it did at the conclusion of last year. Joyce finished last season with a record of eight wins and one loss. He and Freehan were named to the district all stars, which were selected before the NCAA elimina- tions. Joyce will report to Sarasota this spring for training. Dick DeLamielleure, senior rightfielder, and first baseman John Halstead also signed major league contracts this spring. De- Lamielleure became the property of the Washington Senators and Halstead, also a senior, inked a pact with the Detroit Tigers. Both played minor league baseball this summer.
