THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'M' Swimmers Invade Indiana fti1 SPO 1 by HAROLD APPLEBAUM C freestyle relay, 200-yd. breast stroke, 200-yd. individual medley, and 220 and 440 yd. freestyle races loom as the deciding factors. Relay Could Decide In the freestyle relay, the last event on the program, Coach Gus Stager will choose his four swim- mers from a group including Cap- tain Frank Legacki, Dave Heizer, John McGuire, Steve Thrasher, and Owen Klienschmidt. Indiana's foursome should include Pete Sintz, who wonboththe 220 and 440-yd. freestyle titles in the Big Ten meet last year, Tom Verth, and sophomores Bill Cass and Jim Fitzgibbon. The relay events award eight points to the winner and four to the loser. The breaststroke race could be the most exciting of the evening. Indiana has sophomores Chet Jas- tremski and Ken Nakasone, but Stager has Ron Clark, who won the NCAA title last year. Swimming alongside Clark will be sophomore Dick Nelson. More of a threat in the 100-yd. breast- stroke where he holds the Ameri- can record, Nelson can be expected to set a fast pace. If the others falter he could take it all. Hoosiers Loaded Sophomore John Roethke of In- diana, who just gained his eligi- bility, swam a 2:05.2 in the in- dividual medley in his initial com- petition. With Jastremski, who has done 2:06.0, the Hoosiers are a threat to take both a first and second in spite of the presence of Fred Wolf of Michigan who is the defending Big Ten titleholder. The two distance races between Bill Darnton and the AAU titlest, Alan Somers could decide the out- come. In the 440, both have bet- tered the Big Ten record of 4:28.4. Sophomore John Dumont of Mich- igan who turned 'in a good race against the Spartans and should Other IM Scores Delta Sigma Delta 57, Alpha Omega 16 Phi Rho Sigma 42, Alpha Kappa Psi 31 526 Club 31, Prescott 23 Falcons 43, Delta Theta Phi 35 Bacteriology 37, POP "B" 22 Rockets 45, Crescents 24 Psi Omega 58, GA 18 Delta Sigma Pi 32, HKN 14 Raiders 29, Fredrick 23 Newman 55, CMS 14 .Gomberg Older Element 45, AFIT 30 pick up third place. In the 220, Darnton will have to contend with either Mike Troy or Sintz as well as Somers. Michigan's Bob Webster and Ron Jaco should have no trouble sweeping the diving competition and Legacki is favored in both the 50 and 100-yd. sprints. Dennis Floden, Dave Heizer, or Steve Thrasher will provide excellent support. Troy (200-yd,.utrl) rn McKiney (200-yd. backstroke) and Indiana's medley relay team ap- pear to be probable first place winners. In the butterfly, Dave Gillanders of Michigan, the Olym- pic bronze medal winner, is still a long way from catching Troy who recently lowered his Ameri- can record to 1:57.s. McKinney may get his stiffest, competition from teammate Dick: Beaver whose best time this year has been better than McKinney's. Michigan will coupter with Alex Gaxiola and Fred Wolf. In the- medley relay, the Hoosier's quar- tet of McKinney, Jastreski, Troy, and Pete Sintz has a phenomenal I time of 3:37.8 pending recognition as an NCAA record. Chiallenige IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS Michigan's swimmers have been de- feated only once in dual meet competition. After 33 consecutive triumphs, a small, but victory-hungry band from Indiana scuttled the Wolverines' win streak last February 20. Since then Michigan has built up a new win streak which now modestly stretches to seven, while Indiana has added victory after victory, until it now has won 15 meets without defeat. So now the tables are turned, Indiana has the long win streak and it is Michigan which is the challenger, the spoiler. Tonight these two titans of the swim world meet again, with two win streaks and national prestige on the line. What will happen when the two teams clash tonight? There are countless ways of looking at the meet and an equal number of possible outcomes based on these viewpoints. No matter whether you look at the meet optimistically, pessimisti- cally, on the basis of times, etc., there are certain facts which appear to be undisputable. No one doubts that Michigan will win the diving, while it is equally evident that Indiana should coast home in the medley relay and the backstroke. What is in doubt however is two intangibles 1) mental prepara- tion and 2) the ultimate abilities of many of the swimmers. In meets such as this, in which the competing teams are so closely matched, mental preparation can be of critical importance. Michigan captain Frank Legacki explains last year's loss in this respect: "We were complacent. We hadn't been beaten and were content to continue swimming at the same pace we had gone in previous seasons. As a result we weren't aggressive or tough anal we lost." If the Wolverines should be the aggressor tonight, as indeed they must be if they hope to win, and the Hoosiers be on the defensive Michigan could win handsomely. If both teams are "up," as should be the case, an even meet with records falling in nearly every event is more than likely. There are several instances in which both the current form and ultimate abilities of the competiing swimmers are in question. Can Bill Darnton beat Alan Somers in the 220 or 440-yard freestyle? Can Ron Clark defeat Indiana's one-two breaststroke combination of Chet Jastremski and Ken Nakasone? Can Fred Wolf beat either John Roethke or Jastremski in the individual medley? Answers to these questions ,are, at the moment, impossible. Late tonight, however, they will be known and the manner in which they have been answered will announce the winner of the meet. A LOOK at the individual events, particularly the pivotal events; 220-, 440-yd. freestyle, 200-yd. breaststroke, 200-yd, individual medley and 400-yd. freestyle relay, may however provide some clues to the eventual outcome.

JOHN DUMONT '.'M' freestylelr IM ACTION: Lawyers PEK Win By BOB WAZEKA After grabbing a quick 9-1 lead, the Lawyers fought off a deter- mined bid by the Nads and regis- tered a 26-25 win in professional fraternity and independent IM basketball action last night. Led by Dick Stylanski's 12 points, the Lawyers capitalized on their opponents faulty ball-han- dling and inaccuracy from the free-throw line. Phi Epsilon Kappa rolled to a convincing 81-28 win over Phi Chi. An alert defense, an effective fast break, timely offensive rebounding, and a balanced scoring attack proved too much for the Chi Phi five. Reid Bushong with 28 points and Gary McNitt with 19 led the PEK scoring attack. In other action, Nu Sigma Nu, riding the crest, of a 14-point splurge by Thompson Southwell, upended Phi Delta Epsilon 36-14. The Medics routed Phil.-Michigan 54-28. John McCarthy pumped in 12 points and his teammate, Joe Mc- Dade, a former Bradley first- stringer, added 11 to spark the Law Club to a 43-29 victory over Tau Epsilon Phi. Grabbing the spotlight for the TEP squad was Jim Coleman who netted 14 points. Featuring a red-hot shoot- ing, percentage. Phi Delta Phi coasted over Alpha Chi Sigma, 68-34. George Wells scored 25 points and Pete Tillot- son netted 18 to nearly equal the entire ACS output. Gerald Spray led the losers with 18 points...... 220-YARD FREESTYLE: Darnton 2:04.6 Kleinschmidt 2:05.4 Somers 2:04.5 Troy 2:0.4.

TO SCHEDULE GENERAL MOTORS- INTERVIEW FEBRUARY 23 & 24,1961 This should be one of the decisive events of the meet. Alan Somers is regarded as the outstanding American distance swimmer and is the AAU champion at 440-yards and 1,500 meters. Dariton, an Olympic teammate of Somers', is fit and ready to overtake the Hoosier. How- ever, re has only competed in one meet this winter and is not in top- flight competitive condition. Kleinschmidt, a former national high school record holder, has been improving rapidly and has a reputation for being a late season, clutch swimmer. However, with the Big Ten meets and the NCAA championships still far ahead he may not have heached his competi- tive peak. 200-YARD INDIVII*AL MEDLEY: Wolf 2:06.4 Roethke 2:05.5 Thrasher 2:10.0 'Jastremski 2:06.0 Beaver 2:07.4 Picking a winner here is a near impossible task. What the. Wol- verines must avoid, however, is an Indiana one-two sweep. Indiana might pull Jastremski from this event to rest him for the 200-yard breaststroke, but it is more likely that Hoosier Coach Jim Counsilman will use him here in a try for the sweep. 440-YARD FREESTYLE: Darnton 4:28.2 Somers 4:28.3 Dumont 4:32 Stager and Michigan swimmers are confident that Darnton can beat Somers in this race. Agd there is no reason why he shouldn't. The meet's outcome could.hinge on this event. 200-YARD BREASTSTROKE: Clark 2:20.5 Nakasone 2:19.7 Nelson 2:21.5 Jastremski 2:18.8 Clark is the American record holder (2:17.4), but his time this year trails the brilliant Hoosier sophomores. However, the rapid pace they set will aid the strong finishing Clark. Nelson will keep up with the pace, but may fade at the end. A victory by Clark! would seem imperative for a Michigan victory and an Indiana sweep would mean disaster. 440-YARD FREESTYLE RELAY: Michigan 3:22.4 Indiana 3:20 This final event could decide a close meet and both coaches will have to scramble to come up with a strong squad in this event, in which both squads lack adequate manpower.
