By JIM KEVRA
The Michigan Wolverines are
going to lose a swimming meet
tonight.
Despite their 8-0 dual meet
record and a number of excel-
lent performers, the Wolverines
are simply no match for the In-
diana Hoosiers, tonight's oppon-
ent at Matt Mann Pool. Indi-
ana, has a string of 54 consecu-
tive dual meet victories going
for it, a string which extends
back to 1965 when Michigan up-
set the Hoosier tankers, 70-53.
The Big Red have been Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso-
ciation champions the last three
years and another victory this
year seems almost certain. The
reason is simple. Outside of
Olympic teams, Indiana has
probably the greatest group of
swimmers ever assembled under
one banner.
Four Hoosier swimmers stand
out above the rest. But, Indiana
coach Dr. James Counsilman re-
fuses to compare them. "I don't
like to try to pick one of my
swimmers as better than t h e
others," Counsilman said. "With
Gary -Hall, Gary Conelly, John
Kinsella, and Mark Spitz,we
have possibly the four best
swimmers in the world. At least
in the United States."
The records of these f o u r
swimmers has been nothing
short of phenomenal. A quick
list of their accomplishments
reads:
MARK SPITZ - S.pitz, a jun-
ior, is the old man of the group.

Already a four time NCAA
champion, Spitz holds world
records in the 100-meter free-
style, the 200-meter freestyle,
and the 100-meter butterfly. He
was voted the world swimmer of
the year in 1967.
GARY HALL - With Hall,
the Wolverines really get a
break. A triple w o r 1 d record
holder, Hall was so good last
year that he won't be able to
compete in tonight's meet. He
was voted world swimmer of the
year for the second time last
season and will be in Columbus
accepting the award tonight.
Hall accounted for 53 of In-
diana's 322 points in the NCAA's
last year as he took a first, two
seconds, a third and a fourth.
He holds world records in the
200-meter butterfly, the 400-
meter individual medley, a n d
the 800-meter freestyle relay.
JOHN KINSELLA - Kinsella
is only a freshman but may well
be the b e s t swimmer in the
group. He held two world rec-
ords before he enrolled at In-
diana, the 1500-meter freestyle,
and the 800-meter freestyle re-
lay.
Already this season, Kinsella
has set NCAA a n d American
records in b o t h the 500 and
1000-yard freestyle events. In
the 1000-yard event, Kinsella
clipped a mere 17.4 seconds off
Hans Fassnacht's mark as he
lowered the record to 9:17.6.
* On Kinsella, Counsilman says,
"He's really a much better swim-
mer now than he was last year.
He's really coming along and
learning a lot. We expect him to
go quite a bit under his Ameri-
can records in both the 500 and
the 1650 pretty soon."
GARY CONELLY - Conelly
is probably the outcast of the
group in that he doesn't have a
world's record to his name. A
great relay swimmer, Conelly
was voted to the All-American
team in f i v e different events
last year.
After these f o ur swimmers,
the abilities of the B i g Red
team change from superhuman
to merely tremendous. People

I i k e Larry Barbiere, NCAA
champion in the 100-yard back-
stroke, freshman Mike Stamm,
the best backstroker in the
country this year, and Santiago
Esteva, a Spanish Olympian,
could easily be standouts on any
team in the nation except In-
diana.
Although the Hoosiers should
have little trouble registering
another victory, a number of the
matchups should be interesting
because t h e Wolverines boast
some fine individual talent
along with excellent depth.
Diving, for the first time in
a number of years, is a Hoosier
weak spot. Five-time NCAA
champion Jim Henry has grad-
uated and the chores have fal-
len to Gary James, Jack Mc-
Laughlin and Don Muir. The
Wolverines so far this season,
have been getting strong per-
formances o u t of Dick Rydze
and Joe Crawford.
The breastroke is the one
swimming event in which the
Wolverines are favored. Bill Ma-
honey, Mike Whitaker and Stu
Isaac all have been swimming
well this year and Isaac has al-
ready turned in one of the top
times in the nation. Pete Dahl-
berg leads the Hoosiers but his
best time is still three-tenths of
a second behind Isaac's.
Michigan coach G u sStager
said that the butterfly event
"could prove pretty interesting."
Pat O'Conner a n d Duncan
Scott, a pair of freshmen, have
been swimming the butterfly
for Indiana, while Larry Day
and Byron MacDonald counter
for the Wolverines. Day has
turned in the second fastest time
in the nation so far this year in
the 200-yard butterfly, 1:55.0,
while MacDonald is less than a
second behind.
Again this year, the match
will include a number of experi-
ments to test possible rule
charges. "We always like to try
out new rules to see if t h e y
help," said Counsilman.
"The Michigan-Indiana meet
has been the beginning of most
rule changes in recent years. For
example, we introduced the "no-
touch" turn (in which the swim-
mer can touch the wall with his

feet rather than with his hand)
in the freestyle events and the
diving off both of the boards.
"This meet, we're trying out
the "no-touch" turn in the but-
terfly, the breastroke, and the
backstroke events. This means,
however,kthat any records set in
the meet won't be official."
Yesterday, Stager said that he
wasn't sure exactly what rule
changes would be made but that
he and Counsilman "would work
something out before the meet."
He added that "no-touch"
turns was a likely rule change
as was changing some of the
events. The 400-yard freestyle
relay would become an 800-
yard freestyle relay while the
200-yard IM changes to the 400-
yard IM.
The idea behind the changes
t was to give both squads a
chance to practice under meet
competition events which a r e
swum in the NCAA champion-
ships.
Stager added that he would
rather see his team face a school
like Indiana rather than a weak-
er team. "This is more fun," he
said. "When you want to better
yourself, you have to face the
better competition."

McGinnis ranks as
top Big Ten scorer

DAILY CLASSIFIEDS BRING RESULTS-USE THEM

CHICAGO (kP) - Indiana's super
sophomore, George McGinnis, still
is the Big Ten's best scorer, but
Henry Wilmore-led Michigan is
tearing up the form sheet in the
conference basketball race.
Also an exceptional soph, Wil-
more holds third in the individual
scoring column with a 31.5 aver-
age, compared with McGinnis' 35.3.
But the sensational Wolverine has
pacedhis club to the league's sole
undefeated status with a 5-0 re-
cord.
Official statistics also s h o w
senior Fred Brown of Iowa el-
bowing into the sophomore scoring
scrap between McGinnis and Wil-
more.
Last Tuesday, Brown tallied a
career high of 36 points in rally-
ing Iowa to a 92-84 upset of Illi-
nois and wrested the Big Ten run-
nerup spot from Wilmore with a
four-game average of 34.0.
Fourth in conference scoring is

Minnesota's senior Ollie Shannon
with 27.5. Northwestern's R o n
Shogar vaulted from seventh to
fifth with 25.2.
With Wilmore blazing ahead of 4
the sophomore pace of Michigan's
former All-American, Cazzie Rus-
sell, the Wolverines are only a
shade behind Indiana in confer-
ence team scoring with 92.2. Third
is Iowa with 84.0.
The league's top defensive team
with an average yield of 73.3 is
Ohio State.
With such preseason title fav-
orites as Illinois. Indiana and Pur-
due already anchored with o n e
conference setback, Michigan
could swell its perfect mark to-
morrow at home against winless
Northwestern 0-5.
At the same time, Indiana 2-1
and Purdue 3-1 come off exam-
caused respites from conference
play in a key television matinee at
Bloomington, Ind.
