With Michigan's emphasis on
football, basketball and hockey,
minor sports often seem to get
lost in the shuffle. While there's
magic in the name of C a m p v
Russell, you could live next drnor
to a talented minor sport ath-
lete and never know it.
For example, few persons
would ever suspect that south-Y
erner Steve Schenthal is a two-
time finalist in the AAU Diviog
Championships.
Schenthal, a junior, is an out-
standing diver on Michigan's five
man team. He holds two Louis-
iana high school championships
and many NCAA awards in ad-
dition to the AAU titles.
Called "The Fastest Spinner in
the World" by diving coach Dick
Kimball, Schlenthal began diving
at age nine in Metairie, Louis-
Loi-iana.
"In the South they don't stress
athletics in -school like they do
here," he said. "Most of the
activity is involved with the
Amateur Athletic Union, a n d
there are quite a few clubs.

"I started swimming at six in
inter-club competition. Then they
made me start diving because
the club was so small they didn't
have anybody else to do it,"
Schenthal stated.
At fifteen, Steve started work-
ing out with Dick Kimball, Mich-
igan's diving coach, at Kimball's
summer camp. Kimball holds a
diving clinic every summer in
Tampa, Florida.
Schenthal regards Michigan's
swimming mentor "as the ulti-
mate diving coach. He is capable
of showing us the right way to do
the dives. He is an amazing
man."
"I've trained with Kimball
every summer now except the
one in-between my senior year in
high school and my freshman
year here. That's because of an
intercollegiate rule," he contin-
ued.
Schenthal came north to Mich-
igan with ambitions of going to
medical school. He is major-
ing in zoology.
"I really admire this school
for it's athletic program. As far

as I'm concerned, it has the best
undergraduate program that I
know of. The only time that it
was difficult for me to adjust
was in the winter term of my
freshman year," he commented.
The freshman year is a diver's
most difficult year. The rookie
divers are closely supervised and
strenuously trained.
"Freshman have to dive twice
a day, for 2/2 to 3 hours a day,"
Steve remarked. "Every day ex-
cept Sunday is spent diving. We
got a few days off for the vaca-
tions, the most being five days
for Christmas."
He continued, "We begin to
look forward to holidays, like one
day off every three months. One
day a week we practice exclus-
ively on diving from the 7% met-
er (25 foot) tower. The other
practices are split up between
the one and three meter dives."
The following years are 1 e s s
intense. Practice starts in mid-
October, and continues twice a
day until April. Following t h e
AAU Indoor Nationals in April,
the divers vacation until mid-
May.
At that time the twice-a-day
practice resumes. This is in pre-
paration for the AAU Outdoor Na-
tionals in August.
There are five men who keep
this grueling schedule. T h e y
constitute the Michigan diving
team, competing in conjunction
With the swimming team.
Practice is co-ed, held with
women who are known as Mich-
igan divers, although they are
not eligible to compete. Some
notable Michigan divers include
Olympians Jan Ely and Captain
Micky King.
"In meets we're judge on our
approach, form, ability to handle
the tricks and our finish into the
water. A lot of the judging is
subjective; this was one of the
big difficulties in the Olympics,"
he said.
"I'd guess the ten meter tow-
er is my specialty," Steve con-
i -I
MICHIGAN UNION

tinued. "I do wall from t e n
meters because I perform better
in the air than I do taking off
the boards. Twister optionals are
specialty tricks for me."
Athletic and academic pressures
have limited Schenthal to a min-
imum of leisure time. In addi-
tion to the time spent with div-
ing, he has a major commitment
as captain of the football cheer-
leading squad.
"It's tough to dive, cheerlead,
and study all at the same time.
I don't get much time to sleep,"
he remarked.
"Kimball introduced me to
cheerleading when I was a
freshman, and so far I have nev-
er watched a football game from
the stands. I never knew that
the band marched out in an "M"
formation. From down there is
just looks like a bunch of people.
"Many of the divers for this
school have been associated with
cheerleading also. Even Kimball
was a cheerleader when he was
at school here," he mentioned.
"There have been some hard
times fitting everything in. Right
now I'm in the process of slowly
adjusting to academics and ath-
letics.
"There are still times when I've
felt that I couldn't do both. But
it always turns out that I do."

Netters place fifth in nationals

By LEBA HERTZ
Achieving a fifth place tie, Coach
Brian Eisner's Michigan tennis
team came out of the National In-
door Team Championship last
week-end with a definite chance
of becoming one of the top college
teams in the country. The top six-
teen collegiate teams competed in
this tournament, which was held
for the first time. The team that
gathered the most points out of
nine won the round.
In the first round, Michigan de-
feated . last year's Southeastern
