WAGE LIGHT TILE MICHIGAN DAILY FRMAY, 8 JANUARY 1965 PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, 8 JANUARY 1965 N M' Swimmers Host Wisconsin, Big Ten Relays By LYNN METZGER Swimming coach Gus Stager said that this year's team has an excellent chance of ending up this season on top, and that the two meets this weekend could be an indication of the future. Tonight the Wolverines will host Wisconsin in a dual meet start- ing a 7:30 p.m. Tomorrow, the Big Ten Relays will be held start- ing at 2 p.m. Both meets will be held at Matt Mann Pool. "Wisconsin is a building team," said Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball yesterday. "They have just built a beautiful new pool and have added an excellent new diving coach to their staff. They have some fine swimmers, among them is Big Ten breaststroke champion, Bob Blanchard. Their main problem seems to be depth." Physically Fit Commenting on the condition of the Michigan team, coach Stager said, "The team on the whole is in pretty good shape even though they were not able to make a trip down to Florida dur- ing vacation to practice. They! did return early to Ann Arbor and they have been working.out daily." Carl Robie and Bill Farley are back after a semester's absence in which they participated in the Olympics. Robie won a second place silver medal in the butterful, and Farley finished fourth in the 1500 meter free style. Captain Ed Bartsch will be, heading the returning swimmers. Bartsch won the national AAU 200-yard backstroke crown last spring. Big Ten Champion sprinter Rich Walls is back along with Bob Hoag, a finalist in the na- tionalAAU 100-meter free-style race last summer. Hoag was in- eligible last year and will be a valuable addition to the team, according to Stager. Returning Home Also back is diver Ed Booth- man. He finished second in the nationals last year and Kimball feels his return, after missing a semester of school, will add some needed quality to the diving team. Boothman will not be ready to compete in the weekend meets but should be ready for all futureI contests. Participating in the Big Ten Relays will be Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Wisconsin and Southern Illinois. Indiana, a co-favorite along with the Blue, will not be at full strength. because its three Olympic swimmers Fred Schmidt, Ken Sitzberger and Tom Tretheway are not yet back in school. Indiana is on a two semester system so they will be unable to compete until February. Indiana coach James Counsil- man, who was also the Olympic swimming coach, rates the Wol- verines as favorites on Saturday. This is a change for Counsilman who is usually the soul of optim- ism as far as his Hoosiers are concerned. Depends on Sophs This year he is depending heavily on sophomores as he lost several of his star swimmers from last year's team. On the other hand, Michigan has been on the rise for the last few years and has a strong nucleus of veterans. Michigan will have two dual meets with Indiana, both of them coming after the Hoosier Olym- pians return. Last year Michigan lost both meets by scores of 81-42 and 82-42. The Wolverines also finished second to Indiana in Big Ten competition. This Saturday will give Michigan an opportunity to begin to even the score. Show Position Stager believes Michigan State' should place third in the relays. They have some fine swimmers but not enough to overcome the strength of Michigan or Indiana. Fourth and fifth should be a toss up between Wisconsin and South- ern Illinois. Stager feels they both have some good swimmers but they both lack the needed depth. The history of the Big Ten Relays dates back ten years. It was initiated by Michigan in 1955. At first it was not well received by other Big Ten teams, so small midwest colleges participated. In recent years it has gained in sta- ture until today, when almost all of the top teams in the conference compete. At MSU Last year Michigan was unable to take part in the Relays be-I cause of the changes made in the academic calendar. It was held at Michigan State under another name. Two years ago the Big Ten Relays were won by Indiana which also did not compete last year. I- LEADERS: Sig Ep, Wenley Aim at Title Baseball folklore has it that the teams ahead at the middle of the season will go on to take the pennants. While the Phillies and Orioles failed to uphold the tradition, the' current leaders in the intramural' leagues still have a chance to' make such predictions work. Returning from the semester break, residence hall leader Wen- ley and social fraternity pace- setter Sigma Phi Epsilon are both comfortably ahead of the opposi- tion. Wenley, with 983 points, has a 150 point lead over second place Huber, while Cooley and Taylor, are another 12 and 15 points be- hind. Sig Ep will enter second se- mester play with a 58 point bulge over Delta Tau Delta. The Delts have 786 points, only one more than defending champ Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Holding down the fourth spot among the Greeks is Theta Delta Chi. On the Agenda This semester's action will get under way on Monday when over 200 basketball teams in all divi- sions will take to the courts. Resi- dence hall bowling will start to- morrow. In all - campus tournaments, -Daily-uave Abinerl MICHIGAN'S OLYMPIC SWIMMER Bill Farley has regained his eligibility after a semester's absence in which he participated in the '64 Olympics. Farley finished fourth in the 1500 meter free style of Tokyo. Carl Robie, Michigan's other Olympic swimmer, will also be returning. 4 - 1 4§ § I § -- - 4~ 4 §§ QOOD CLOTHES! What do you mean?.

THROUGH THE BULL'S EYE by Bill Bullard Confusion Runs Wild As Fans 'Invade Coast Like the press box observer who thought Michigan fans were chanting "Let's Go Booze" before the Rose Bowl game, things were a little confused on the coast last week. With almost 4,000 students and staff not to mention over 10,000 alumni storming into town, it was bound to be so. University- sponsored tours provided much of the merriment. Transportation was cheap with service to match. One plane left 12 hours late because the pilot had sheared off a propellor after crashing into a fence. Another flight landed in Albuquerque, New Mexico on the way out after running out of fuel and made another unscheduled stop on the way back in South Bend when Willow Run was fogged in. Living accommodations were not luxurious but nothing out of the ordinary for students. It was like being in a quad room with four roommates. Several girls thought one hotel was going a bit too far, however, when they found out they were assigned to a linen closet. A prominent University official and his wife arrived at. their room and were happy to find they didn't have to share it with anyone else. But there was only one cot in the room. One hotel held a dance for the neighborhood teenagers and it was a dead ringer for the dance scene in "West, Side Story." One distraught young coed who had apparently been approached by one of the young men attending the dance was quietly assured by the manager of the hotel. "You're perfectly safe around here," he said soothingly. "All you have to do is scream." To Serve or Not To Serve... There weren't many organized activities for the students as it was assumed that the University couldn't sponsor any kind o a dance or a mixer where liquor was served and otherwise no one would come. The Michigan Band drove all the deviates off the park benches in Pershing Square one evening by giving a concert before several thousand spectators. It was a tremendous performance and so enthused the crowd that. everyone decided they wanted t go into the lobby of the hotel across the street and sing "The Victors" and generally make it impossible to move in, out, or within the hotel. Some of the band members had a different idea, however. They were instructed to report back to the buses taking them to the UCLA dormitories where they stayed in one hour. So naturally some of them set out to get loaded in that short period of time. It can be done. Back in the hotel, room service was still refusing to serve liquor to anyone in their rooms, regardless of age. One hotel official was heard to remark after overhearing a conversation among students, "What does B.Y.O. mean?" As usual, it was the alumni rather than the students who were causing the most trouble and embarassment. Like the two old grads playing football on the mezzanine. Or the alum who sat on his bar stool blowing a horn that you could hear in, the lobby. But it was mostly all clean fun. The only hotel which was forced to put up a notice that students would be forced to pay for damages was out in Hollywood where such things are taken in stride. Bus Stop in the Hills ... For sheer excitement the bus ride one group took from down- town L.A. to Pasadena to see the parade tops them all. The bus driver started out by casually telling a passenger, "By the way, I'm from Santa Barbara and I've never been to Pasadena before." It seems that someone was supposed to brief him on the best way to get to the parade. That someone, like many others that morning, didn't get out of bed. But at least the driver had a map. That is, until it blew out the window. So at one point, the group found itself overlooking Pasadena from somewhere up in the hills. The bus driver decided to turn around and after clipping a mailbox almost backed off a cliff. Needless to say, everyone on the bus panicked in a mad scramble to get off. Finally the group joined the million and a half other people who came to watch the parade. One lasting impression: on the Big Ten float the other schools have cute girl cheerleaders waving to the crowd. Who does Michigan have? Gymnastics captain Gary Erwin. It seems a bit odd to me but I guess tastes vary. 1 i I I IF YOU'RE NOT SATISiFIED . to look anything but your very best-you should be sending your dry cleaning to GREENE'S. . .
