Gus Stager yesterday. "We

a championship meet you
want the other schools to
hurt you-to get your swimmers
out of the finals. In every event
there are many swimmers who can
qualify for the finals, especially in
the shorter races. W9 swam best
in the preliminaries.
"We went out there with the
idea that we would win if we
could. We were strong in the con-
ference, but we were even better
in the NCAA's. We just capitalized
on breaks." '
Comparing the meet to the bas-
ketball championships the same
weekend, Stager said, "If you went
out and asked any man on the
street which was the best basket.
ball team in the nation, you know
as well as I do what they would1
say--it's Ohio State. But some-
body managed to capitalize on a
few breaks, and Cincinnati won
the championship game."
This is the fourth NCAA cham-
pionship in the last five years for
Stager, who has coached' the team
for the last seven years. Under
Stager the Wolverines first won
the national championship in 1957
and proceeded to a three - year
championship streak before being
dethroned by this same USC squad
last year, 87-73.
Others Help
"Of course we got help from
some other teams which pushed
some of SC's swimmers out, but
then Southern Cal wasn't pushing
hard enough and it was their own
fault."
How was USC favored over
Michigan by ten or more points
when the Wolverines won by 23
points? Analyzing the meet, Stager
compared the pre-meet favorites
with the winners: "In the indi-
vidual medley, either Dennis
Rounsavelle or Lance Larson, both
of SC, were favored, but John Kel-
so of Denver won, Larson got see-
ond, and Rounsavelle managed
only a sixth. In the 220-yd. free-
style, Rounsavelle, who won the
race last year, was again favored.
He didn't even qualify. Gary To-
bian, national springboard cham-
pion, was naturally figured to fin-
ish above Bob Webster, but Web-

ster beat him in both the one-
and three-meter springboard div-
ing. And then they were counting
on good showings from their other
men, such as Bob Mealiffe in the
butterfly and individual medley
races." Mealiffe pulled a fourth in
the 100-yd. butterfly, but he failed
to qualify for the medley.
What about USC's relay teams?
"They just didn't have good
enough teams. They had 17 men to
our twelve, but they didn't swim
their best men. You can't win a
championship without those
teams." A win in a relay counts
double the points of an individual
win. Michigan qualified in both
relays and captured a second and
a fourth.
Michigan's Ron Clark, Dick Nel-
son, and Dave Gillanders fulfilled
pre-meet expectations by winning
the 200-yd. breaststroke, 100-yd.
breaststroke, and 100- and 200-yd.
butterfly respectively. Other ex-
pected winners, Chuck Bittick and
Murray Rose of Southern Califor-
nia, pulled in their victories. Wol-
verine captain Frank Legacki and
Rose pulled surprise victories in
the 50- and 200-yd. freestyle.
Michigan and USC both won
five individual titles, but it was the
seconds through sixths that won
the meet. Bill Darnton from Mich-
igan finished second in the 220-yd.
free and third in the 440 for nine
points. Fred Wolf and Alex Gaxi-
ola both scored points in the 200-
yd. backstroke, with Wolf adding
another mark for a sixth in the
100-yd. backstroke. Legacki also
received a second in the 100-yd.
free for another five points. The
Trojans just couldn't make up the
difference.
In any case, by foresight, plan-
ning, and capitalizing on. some
mistakes and some self - made
breaks, to say nothing - of long
hours of hard training, Michigan
again became the NCAA swimming
