KO (AP) - Professional basketball will have a new Look in the American Basketball League, which starts operations in the fall. "We plan' to pain t an area 25 feet in front of the baskets and a field goal from behind it will be worth three points. This should be as, interesting as a home run in baseball. It will get the good, little man in 'position to shoot- and the fans will see the ball going through the air and swishing through the hoop," said acting commissioner Abe Saperstein;. By FRED STEINHARDT Southern California is expect- ed to. ward off a Michigan chal- lenge and keep its title at the NCAA swimming championships which begin Wednesday at Seat- tle, . Nearly all of the stars .who led the Trojans to the 1960 crown are back, including Lance Larson, Chuck Bittick, Dennis Rounsa- velle, Murray Rose, and Gary To- bian. Powerful Indiana, the Big Ten champs who might have posed a serious threat, will not com- pete. The Hoosiers are serving a four year probation because of football recruiting violations. Michigan should have no trou- ble taking second place and could make a run for top money if everything goes right at once. "Yale, Ohio State, and possibly Harvard should fight it out for t h ird," commented Michigan coach, Gus Stager. "Michigan State could also be in contention. Ohio State should get points from divers Lou Vitucci, Tom Gompf, and Juan Botella. Vitucci won the one and three meter Big Ten titles. The 12 man Michigan contin- gent includes Ron Clark and Dick Nelson, breaststroke, Dave Gil- landers, butterfly, Alex Gaxiola and Fred Wolf, backstroke, Frank Legacki, Bill Darnton, Warren Uhler, John Dumont, Win Pen- dleton, and Steve Thrasher, free- style, and Bob Webster, diving, 'M' Titles? Clark (200-yd. breaststroke), Nelson (100-yd. breasastroke), and Gillanders (100 and 200-yd. butterfly) must be rated as favor- ites to win at their specialties, although no one isreally ashoo- in hat an NCAA meet. Southern Cal should get firsts from Chuck Bittick in both 100 and 200-yd. backstroke, -Rose in the 440-yd. and 1,500-meter free- style events, and possibly Rounsa- velle or Larson in the 200-yd. in- dividual medley. The sprints, relays, and diving events are all tossups. The Wol-' verines would have to win almost all of them if they were to over- come Southern Cal. Anybody's Race The 50, 100, and 220-yd,. free- style races are all wide open.; Bruce Hunter of Harvard is the defending champ in the 50 and has done under :49.0 in the 100. Southern Illinois' Ray Padovan has recorded a phenomenal :47.9 in the 100 and :21.6 in the 50. Steve Jackman, the Minnesota Streak who :zoomed to two Big Ten titles could do it again. His :21.4 in the 50 is the fastest ever and he also did a :48.3 in 100. Michigan's prime sprint con- tender will be Captain Frank Le- gacki who won the N'CAA 100-yd. freestyle race as a sophomore two years ago. A great competitor, Le- gacki thrashed to a :47.6 100 freestyle anchor leg in the free- style relay finals at the recent Big Ten championships. The 220 should be a battle be- tween Rose, Tom Winters and Bill House of USC, Darnton, and Jim Spreitzer of Illinois. Tobian won the Olympic three meter diving event and will be tough to beat in that event. But Gompf, Webster, Botella, or Vi- tucci are all capable enough should Tobian falter. The same five should battle it out on the one 'meter board, Harvard's freestyle relay team has been clocked at 3: 17.7 and, must be favored to win, at least on time. Michigan and Michigan St. are potentially strong challen- gers. Legacki, Thrasher, Darnton, and Dumont will probably make up the Wolverine quartet. In the medley relay, the team of Gaxiola, Nelson, Gillanders, and either Thrasher or Legacki will have to fight off a strong Michigan State foursome. Points are awarded for the first six places. Individual events run 7-5-4-3-2-1 and relays 14-12-10- 8-6-4. WE lit. . n's hi ided h nmod skiers ever ,800 ft. double. .on~e of' ghest. New lodging ates IT iAv.

Winning only two of 14 out- ings, the Wolverines were out, of the basement only once during the course of the entire season, and then for only a few brief days after their victory over MSU at Yost Field House. Yet, despite Michigan's last- place finishes the past two years and the loss of Captain John Tid- well, who practically rewrote the records books during his three year tenure, Coach Daye Strack is fairly optimistic about next year's prospects. At the conclusion of every ath- letic season, whether it concern a major or minor sport,ithere will always be heard the familiar cry, "Wait 'till next, year! " Strack's enthusiasm hasn't quite reached those proportions yet, but the yoi"thful mentor who Just fi- ished his first season certainly isn't going to run and hide, or even shudder, at the prospects of playing a season without the scor- ing punch of the talented Tidwell. Only two of this year's team members are seniors (reserve Rich Donley joins most-valuable- player Tidwell in that category) and in addition to having six one- time starters returning, Strack will have a host of talented sopho- mores (now freshmen) and trans- fers to choose from. Transfer Prospects It's the newer additions to the varsity squad that are making Strack so enthusiastic. Referring specifically to "half a dozen or so" newcomers, Strack xemarked re- cently, "We'llbe deeper next year, 1 t and will have better overall speed." Three transfers will be among those counted on by Strack to bolster the team's offensive and reboundingstrength next year. They are 6'4" John Oosterbaan (no relation to Benny Ooster-' baan, . former Wolverine football coach), 6'6" John Harris, and 6' Danny Hoag. Oosterbaan appears to be the standout of the trio. Hailing from. Kalamazoo and transferring to Michigan from Hope College, Oosterbaan is a determined, eager youngster possessed with a lot of ability. "He could have started this year," Tom Jorgenson, the Wolverine Frosh coach, said re- cently. Harris, a transfer from Alcorn College in Mississippi, is known primarily for his rebounding abil- ity. Assistant coach Jim Skala of the Negro forward-center said that he "needs only to add varie- ty to his shooting" to become a regular with the Wolverines. Har- ris' best shot now is the, jump- shot. Hoag came to Michigan. from Idaho, where he played under Strack, then in his freshman year as a head coach. Although. not as highly rated as Ooster- baan or Harris, Hoag is being counted on to add depth to the 1961-62 squad and should im- prove with experience.' Jorgenson's '61 hreshman squad, considered better than average; should produce several good var- sity candidates. Most prominent are a pair of small but speedy guards, 5'10'' Doug Herner from Lansing Sexton's, two time Mich- igan Class A champs and 5'10" fireball's Bob Cantrell, who hails from Washington High in East Chicago, Ind. Both are good shooters who will make the guard spots the deepest position on the team, with first-stringer Captain- elect; Jon Hall and sixth-man Steve Schoenherr returning. Other freshmen with. a chance to , stick with the varsity next year include 6'4", 210-lb. Barry Andrews, 6'3" Bob Yearout, 6'1" Hiram Jackson, and 6'6" Doug Greenwold. Yearout and Jackson are out-of-staters, coming from Cincinnati and from Springfield, Ill., respectively. Andrews and Greenwold hail from Escanaba and Grand Rapids, respectively. All are front-line men but Jackson, who is converting to guard from his high school pivotman days, adding more backcourt depth. Add tthat list the name of Don Petroff, who became schol- astically ineligible after compiling a 10.5 scoring average in 15 1960- 61 games and you can see why Strack is optimistic about Michi- gan climbing up the Big Ten lad- der next year.
