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 ! ichigan State Tickets Tickets for Saturday's basket- ball game with Michigan State at Yost Field House will be on sale to students, faculty * and staff all day today at the Ath- letic Administration Building ticket window for $I. 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. t CAREERS IN STEEL ST E Our representative will be on campus .1 ;; V -Daily-Kamalakar Rao CAZZIE RUSSELL STUFFS for two of 19 points Monday night against Iowa. He took only 16 shots, connecting on eight. Cazzie now has a 26.2 per game average which puts him seventh among NCAA major college players. MARCH 3 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.

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.
