There had been talk in swimming{
circles that Saari was not the
swimmer he could be in the trials
because he competed so heavily in
water polo for the team coached by
his father. Saari and Captain
Chuck Bittick of the Army are
reputed to be the best players in
the nation at the sport.
The exhausting game puts a tre-
mendous physical strain on an ath-
lete, but the 19 year old Saari dis-
pelled any thoughts that his stam-
ina might be taxed.

Strong Combo
The combination of Farley and
Robie should give Michigan swim-t
ming a sound one two combination
for the coming swim season. Swim-
ming coach Gus Stager also can <
boast of tw9 fine backstrokers who]
failed to make the Toyko team. Edt
Bartsch and Russell Kingery are
both highly touted swimmers.
Bartsch picked up a gold medal int
the Pan American games in 1962
but could not manage to make the1
finals. Kingery a sophomore placedt
sixth in the preliminaries of the
200 metertbackstroke Monday, but
could manage only eighth in the

Walt Richardson, the great Min-
nesota butterfly man broke his
own American record in the 100t
meter butterfly event with a time
of 57.5 in the preliminaries. He
then came back to win in the
finals thus gaining a spot on the
powerful American team.
In the women's events Cathy
Ferguson paced the prelims of the
100 meter backstroke. Sue Jones of
Los Altos topped the preliminary
times in the 0 meter ,backstroke
event which as specially held for
those girls who had not qualified
for the team in any other event.
Dr. Jim Councilman, head coach
of the American team, believes
that the more swimmers he can put
on the squad the more insurance
he will have against possible in-
jury or sickness between now and
the races in Toyko. He also does
not want to leave swimmers cap-
able of winninwg medals in the
Olympics back in the States.
