MEETS TROY:
Gillanders To Face Toug
4. >

THE MICHIGAN DAILY

By HAL APPLEBAUM
J. David Gillanders sat in the
third row of seats at Varsity Pool
hunched over a mathematics book,
oblivious to his surroundings and
the practice session which was in
full swing.
Working out an equation which
filled the width of his notebook,
the slight 5'11", 150-pound), be-
spectacled Gillanders, a Junior
honors student in Engineering,
looked like anything but a cham-
pion swimmer.
Only the blue sweatshirt with
the letters USA emblazoned across

the front, representative of parti-
cipation in the Pan-American
Games, gave an indication of his
athletic ability.
A few minutes later the swim-
mers in the water completed their
practice set and Gillanders and
the other members of the group
he. works with prepared to take
over.
Removing his glasses and neat-
ly folding his sweatshirt he, placed
them and his now closed book in
% carefully stacked position and
climbed over the retaining wall to
the swimming area.

Moments later, standing on the
diving blocks J. David Gillanders
the budding engineer became Dave
Gillanders, NCAA and Pan Amer-
ican butterfly champion.
Though transformed from the
world of the intellect to that of
athletics Gillanders remained
basically the same, intent, hard-
working and successful in his en-
deavors.
Success has come to Gillanders
in a big way in the last year (he
has won the NCAA 100- and 200-
yard butterfly championship and
swam a leg on Michigan's 400-
yard medley relay champions in
the same meet. He climaxed the
year by winning a first place gold
medal in the Pan-A m e r i c an
Games) but he will face his big-
gest challenge of the 1959-60 sea-
son when he meets arch-rival
Mike Troy of Indiana.
Summer Sensation
Troy, a Hoosier sophomore, was
not eligible as freshman last year
to challenge Gillanders for the
collegiate championships, but
this past summer, and open com-
petition found him to be the hot-
test thing in swimming.
First he set a world record for
200-meters butterfly while win-
ning the AAU championships in
California in July. Then, compet-
ing for the U.S. team in two dual
meets against the Japanese be
broke hid own record.
Returning from the Orient he
was rated the number one butter-
flyer in the world and became a
strong favorite for the Pan-Amer-.
ican Games title.
In the Pan-Am trials Troy
characteristically sprinted to an
early lead and then barely held
off the fast finishing Gillanders
to win the trials and retain his
number one rating,.
Turns Tables on Troy
However, Gillanders turned the
tables on Troy at the Game in
Chicago, wearing down Troy in
the stretch, to win the first two
place medals.
Now, Troy, who broke all in-
door records for the 200-yard but-
terfly ten days ago against Pur-
due with a clocking of 2:00.8, will
be seeking revenge Saturday when'
the Hoosiers attempt to break
Michigan's dual meet win streak
of 32 and wrest supremacy in the

hest Foe
collegiate swim world from the
Wolverines. -
No matter whether Gillanders
or Troy win Saturday's race theE
consensus of opinion is that the
winner will become the first man#
to ever swim the 200-yard butter- "
fly in less than two minutes.
Different Styles
"They have different styles.
Troy sprints at the start and tries
to go that way for 200 yards, r
whille Gillanders is a pace swim-
mer. Only time will tell whether
or not he can catch Troy again."
Michigan coach Gus Stager said.
"I can't say who will win, but
the records may well be broken,"
he added.
The pressure on both Gilland-
ers and Troy is great as the show-
down approaches. In a meet
where one or two points may be
decisive, victory is all important.
