ATHARVARD FOR NCAA MEET: Tankers hope to make a splash BY JON MORELAND Ten Michigan swimmers, including junior All-American Fernando Canales, have splashed-down in the Ann Arbor of the East - Cambridge, Massachusetts - for the NCAA championships. The Wolverines will be trying to bat- tle back from the disappointing Big Ten Championships, when they finished a not-so-strong second to Indiana in Michigan's Matt Mann Pool. Canales has qualified in four events - the 50-, 100-, 200-, and 500-meter freestyle competitions - and is the Wolverine tankers' best bet to bring home an individual national champion- ship. MIM Gathering Place Every Night of the Week First year coach Bill Farley ex- pressed disappointment at only having ten swimmers in this year's finals, heldu on the Harvard campus. "We should have had a lot more qualifiers than we did," said Farley. "Indiana had a helluva meet (at the Big. Ten's), but we never should have lost to them by 150 points." Michigan placed second to Indiana by the score 752 - 602/2. Also representing the Wolverines are sophomore John Spaid in the 200- and 500-meter breaststroke, junior Robert Murray and senior captain Paul Grif- fith and the 50- and 100-freestyle, sophomore Tom Ernsting in the 100- and 200-breaststroke, and junior Robert Lazar and senior Dave Price in the 200- breaststroke. Noticeably absent from this list are any of the Wolverine relay teams. Almost unbelievably, none of Michigan's strong relays qualified for the meet, most notably the 800-freestyle relay.

This disqualified the relay team, and left its collective members in Ann Arbor this weekend. Michigan's strongest showing in the meet is expected to come from its diving troops.eThe Dick Kimball-led squad's three representatives are Ron Merriot, Kevin Machemer, and Ken Vigiletti.
