Surging Back to Top
Matt Mann Pool is expected to be packed Saturday afternoon as
Michigan's "worst" winter sports team of last season hopes to prove
it has what it takes to win a Big Ten and possible national.champion-
ship next month.
The occasion is a dual swimming meet with Indiana. Michigan's
swimmers earned the "worst" winter sports team designation by
finishing second to the Hoosiers at the Big Ten Meet last spring. TheyI
thus became the only one of the six Wolverine teams not to win a
conference championship. Coach Gus Stager's tankers were still good
enough to end the season ranked fourth in the country as a result of;
their performances in the NCAA Championships, but again they,
trailed behind Indiana.
, Call it the revenge motive, "being hungry," or whatever, the
Michigan team has been a runner-up to the Indiana champions
for four years and there's the natural feeling that it's Michigan's
turn again to bask in the championship limelight. In what could
be the country's top dual swimming meet of the year, there are
indications the Wolverines have the potential to beat the Hoosiers.
Stager and Indian's "Doc" Counsilman are continuing a few'
innovations in the meet which should interest the spectators who are
expected to pour into the pool for the 4 p.m. encounter after the
basketball game. Three swimmers, instead of the usual two, will be
entered by each team in each event and the best two finishers from
each team will be eligible to receive points. Also two events not usually
on a dual meet program-the 1000-yard freestyle and tower diving-
will be included in the meet.
There is some uncertainty about the meet because Counsilman
has not sent any dual meet summaries to Ann Arbor this season.
Therefore, Stager doesn't have any official times of the Hoosier
swimmers. However, Indiana performances of the past month may not
mean much since the Hoosier schedulde is riddled with weak teams.
Michigan is the first opponent to pose any kind of a threat of de-
feating Indiana which is riding on the crest of a 46-dual meet winning
streak.J
Stager feels his team is on-the way back to the top and might
even have made it last season if junior Bob Hoag had been eligible.
Also, Indiana may have its traditional depth but there are fewer
outstanding swimmers on the Bloomington campus than two or
three years ago. Stager points out that even last season Indiana,
with a 26-man team, lost to a 13-man Yale squad in the NCAA
Championships.
Michigan has two Olympic swimmers to oppose Indiana's three.t
An all-Olympic medal race was almost in store in the 200-yard but-
terfly but Michigan's Carl Robie, the silver medal winner, will stills
face Indiana's Fred Schmidt, the bronze medal winner. Hoosier
sophomore Kevin Berry won the gold medal for Australia but won't be
eligible for this meet, according to Stager.
The Wolverines' other Olympian is distance freestyler Bill Farley2
who took a fourth place in the 1650-meter race in Tokyo: Besidese
Schmidt, Indiana has Ken Sitzberger, a gold medal winner in spring-b
board diving, and Tom Tretheway, who didn't place in the breast-f
stroke event.t
. The .overall outlook for the meet is for Michigan to dominate in
the freestyle races and for Indiana to be slightly better in the othert
events. But the winning team can hardly afford to relax. Michiganf
travels to Bloomington for a meet on Feb. 26. The whole thing maya
not be settled until the Big Ten championships the first week inf
March.c
Cazzie Has Scoring Touch in Clutch
By TOM WEINBERG
Did Iowa stop Cazzie Russell?
Hardly.
True, the nation's seventh lead-
ing scorer was held to 19 points-
but the Wolverines won the 'game.
Cazzie is the first to admit
that he is not overly interested in
scoring as long as Michigan wins
the game. During the season he
has only poured on the points
in the games in which Michigan

was seriously threatened such as
the Princeton, Wichita, and Mich-
igan State contests.
When the rest of the team does
the job-like Monday night against
Iowa, both times against Purdue,
or in the Indiana State fiasco-
the 6'5%/" All-American becomes a
winner rather than just a hero.
"Take away his three or four
dunks and that gift basket he got
at the end of the game, and
Cazzie really didn't hurt us that
much," said Iowa Coach Ralph
Miller after a brief glance at the
scoring totals.
But Miller was quick to add
that you can't take anything away
from Cazzie. "He's a great ball-
player; there's no doubt."
Gerry Jones, an understudy to
Cazzie since Carver High school'
days, appeared to outplay the
Wolverine star statistically, col-
lecting seven more points, over
twice as many rebounds, and stuf-
fing three of his shots.
But even Jones praised Caf zie
in the locker room after the dame.
"Cazzie was the feeder. He played
a real fine game," Jones said.
But it was an Iowa substitute
who perhaps hit the nail on the
head when he commented that
"Cazzie's presence on the court
is enough to alter anybody's de-
fense. No matter what kind of
night he's having, you always have
to worry about him."
Whether or not it was Cazzie
the Hawkeyes were worrying
about, even Miller admitted his
"pressure boys" suffered from the
'tension of the game. "I guess
we were a bit nervous. And you
just can't play basketball when
you're tense."
Too Many Mistakes
Miller was referring upecifically
to his team's abundance of bad
passes, violations and mental1
lapses. "We made more errors
passing in this one game than
we've made in the last eight
weeks," he lamented.
Michigan's Dave Strack had the
same effect in mind but looked
at the cause differently-"it was
our defense. Pomey did a great
job . . . we were just ready for
their attack. We aren't as slow
,as many people think, and our
defense has been underrated all
year."
The defense that befuddled Iowa
and many of the veteran observers
of the Wolverines was actually no
different from usual according to
Strack.
"We just used our one-one-three
zone when we had the time to set
it up and then stuck to the man-
to-man when there wasn't enough
time," he says.
Hard Work
Strack naturally was oleased
with the result of the defense
and simplified the effort by say-
ing "Defense is just hard work
and we worked hard at it."
The offensive attack of the
Wolverines perhaps benefitted
from the defense's success and
was as balanced and varied as it
has been all season with four
players in double figures and two
who notched nine.
"We were able to work just
about everything we tried against
them," Strack says, citing the
cut-off plays, clear-outs and
straight patterns that contributed
to the effectiveness of the varied
attack.

FACE INDIANA NEXT:
Record-Setting Tankers Remain Unbeaten
By LYNN METZGER
Michigan's tankers are well on
their way to winning the Big Ten
Championships; only one thing
stands in their way-Indiana.
The Wolverines have competed
in four dual meets against Wis-
consin, Purdue, Michigan State
and Minnesota and have won all
of them. They also entered the
Michigan College Meet and the
Big Ten Relays and came out on
top in both contests'
This weekend they will face
their main competition,atheone
obstacle in the way of an unde-
feated season. What happens
against Indiana Saturdayacould
foretell the eventual Big Ten out-
come.
How have the tankers progress-
ed so far this season?
Stager Happy
Coach Gus Stager said he was
quite pleased with their progress.
He pointed out several swimmers
as key to the Wolverines' stand.

tioned was Olympian Carl Robie.
"Carl has fit into more positions
than I had expected. His versa-
tility has been and will be an im-
portant factor in the team's out-
come." Robie,, only a sophomore,
has already broken two varsity
and one pool record..
Against Michigan State Robie
broke the 200-yard individual
medley varsity mark of 2:05.4 set
by Tom Williams of Michigan
earlier in the season. The other
record he bettered was in his spe-
cialty, the 200-yard butterfly. The
previous record was 1:58.4, set by
Dave Gillanters of Michigan in
1961, Robie swam the fly in
1:55.4 in last Saturday's meet
with Minnesota.
Walls Regains Form
Next, Stager commented on jun-
ior freestyler Rich Walls. Last
year Walls was Big Ten champion
in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle,
But this season he started off very
slowly. Stager could find no cause
for his unexpected slump before
Walls suddenly snapped out of it.
"He's finally coming along,"
Stager said with a smile.
One pleasing surprise on the
team, Stager pointed out, is the
improvement of junior Rees Or-
land has been making. "He's do-
ing much better than I had earlier
anticipated," Stager said.
Sophomore Bill Groft has been
another high spot on the team
according to Stager. "Last year he
showed himself to be a good swim-
mer but this year he has come
along spectacularly."
Groft has already broken two
Michigan records and was on a
relay team which broke a third.
In the dual meet with Michigan
State he broke the 50-yard varsity
freestyle record set by Frank Le-
gacki of Michigan in 1961.
Legatki swam the 50 in :21.4;
Groft shaved .1 off that and
swam it in :21.3. Groft also set a
new 100-yard freestyle Matt Mann
Pool record of :48.2. The old mark
of :48.5 had been set by Steve
Jackman of Minnesotain 1963.
Lastly, as anchor man of the
400-yard medley relay. Groft
along with Ed Bartsch, Paul
Scheerer and Robie bettered the
old varsity and pool marks, by
finishing in 3:35 flat. Indiana set
the old pool record in 1962 and a
Michigan team of Russ Kingery,'
Scheerer, Tom O'Malley and Groft
set the old varsity record earlier
this season.
"Bob Hoag has also proven him-
self," Stager went on. In proving
himself he has also tied the 100-
yard freestyle varsity record. Le-
gacki held the old time of :47.8
alone before Hoag tied it. .
Michigan's other Olympian, Bill
Farley, has also been changing
the record books..In the meet with
Michigan State he set a Michigan
varsity record of 1:46.0 in the 200-
yard freestyle. And in last Satur-
day's meet with Minnesota he set
a new pool and varsity mark in
the 500-yard freestyle of 4:50.81.
The old mark of 4:56.83 was also
set by Farley last season.
