Last week's loss, the first dual meet loss for Michigan since 1973, was to the number- one ranked team in the nation. "We were simply beaten by a superior team," Coach Newt; Loken said. "It was a real privilege for us to have com- peted against the No. 1 ranked team in the country."

Few of those names, however, would ring even the faintest bell in the memory of the Wolverine's most devoted trivia collector. They are the members of the Michigan chapter of the national honorary athletic fraternity, Sigma Delta Psi; an organization which has admitted only seven members here since 1970. The stated purpose of the all male fraternity is "to promote the total fitness of college stu- dents with emphasis on physical fitness." Mem- bership is attained by passing fourteen physical tests and attending at least two-year college or university. According to Sigma Delta Psi's Secretary Treasurer, Ben McGuire, "A man with a tra- ditional background or a great deal of agility, like a gymnast, will fare well in the tests." Among the requirements are that an ap- plicant must run the 100-yd dash in 11.6, put a 16-pound shot 30 feet, run the mile in six minutes, swim 100 yards in 1:45, punt a football 120 feet and throw a baseball 250 feet. Any one req'liremnent, except swimming, may be substituted for by a varsity letter or an intramural championship. Sigma Delta Psi ws founded in 1912 at In- 200 chapters across the country.

"I think he's developed since he's been in college. When he first came here he hadn't matured yet as an athlete," added Stager. Downie's main weakness, according 'to Stager, is that "he has a tendency to either swim a very intelligent race or a dumb one. "He's a terrific swimmer, though," continued Stager, "he has all the potential." "Obviously, he's an international swimmer," Stager con- tinued, "if he ever really got serious, he could win internation- ally." The Wolverines entertain Southern Illinois Saturday in Matt Mann pool at 4:00 p.m. The Salukis will pin their hopes on two excellent and versatile swimmers, Dave Swenson and Jorge Delgado. Freestyler Delgado has already posted outstanding times in the 500 and 1000 yard events this season. Ohio State has taken the national team competition for the last two years, which means that they inducted ten men whose total records bettered those of any other chapter with ten new members. The only other competition that Sigma Delta} Psi sponsors isthe national membership con- test, won by the school with the most inductees. West Point has won the title two years run- ning with 42 total inductions.I Since 1968 the number of men inducted an- nually has been decresing, but Sigma Delta Psi does not plan to lower its standards. "We do not plan to loosen the requirements for membership," states McGuire, adding that, "the athletes of today are in better shape than those of 1912. "We do think that ABC's superstar com- petition will lead to a resurgence in our fraternity as college students will begin to associate with the all-around super athlete. "However, with school systems across the country having economic problems, physical education programs are the first to be cut back and this will make a difference in Sigma Delta Psi." Presently at Michigan there are two students! trying out for the fraternity. In 1971 two Michi- gan men passed the tests and in '73 one man made it.
