II ."I V .31 By STEVE ROEDER "When I first started swimming, I didn't want to get in the water, but they threw me in anyway, and I've stayed in since." Alec Campbell, an engineering senior and co-captain of the Michi- gan men's swim team, was All-State at Farmington High School where he still holds seven school records. He used to be a distance freestyle swimmer, but as a high school sophomore, he swam the 100-fly at a local meet in a time that would have placed him third in the state that year. Leaving the freestyle events behind, he went on to place i the top five at the state meet in the fly and 200-individual medley (IM). AT THE AGE of eight, Marty Moran's mother enrolled him in swimming lessons because "it was something to keep me active." At first, she had to bribe him to get him into the water. In a short time, however, the Pittsburgh native's talents surfaced and the swim in- structors encouraged him to swim for the local team. Moran chose Michigan over Cal- Berkeley and Southern Methodist because of the educational reputa- tion, Wolverine head coach Jon Ur- banchek, and the fact that the team was improving. Campbell chose Michigan over Virginia for similar reasons. "I al- ways had Michigan in my blood. I like being a team member of a win- ning organization rather than the best swimmer of a lesser team." Campbell had only the fifth fastest butterfly time on the team at the beginning of his first year, but by the end of the campaign, he was number two. Campbell's 200-fly time has since become the third fastest time in Michigan history. But, unfortunately for Campbell, he has swam in the same period as the top two butterfliers, so he has never claimed the number-one spot. ONE OF those two butterfliers ahead of Campbell is Moran. As a rookie, Moran required some time to adjust, as he had never really had a team to swim for before he arrived in Ann Arbor. Coach Bill McMaster allowed him to work out with the local United States Swimming team and then compete for his high school. "Everyone here wants to work for the Big Ten Championship," said Moran. "Working within the team concept helped a lot in terms of be- coming a better swimmer. I had never really been on a team, let alone a team competing for a cham- pionship." Another new experience for Moran was the annual trip to Miami for a brutal Christmas training camp. "I was nervous before the first workout since I didn't know what to expect," he said. "I had never been at a training camp before then, but I learned that there is nothing to be nervous about." The experience paid off. At the Big Ten Championships his first year, "I felt like a block had been taken off my back after my first race. I could get on with the racing and not worry about being nervous". Moran went on to final in all three of his events. AS A sophomore, Moran attained his preseason goals of finaling in the 200-fly at NCAAs (an impressive fifth-place finish) and winning both the 100 and 200-fly races at the Big Ten Championships. By also being a member of the winning 400-medley relay team, Moran now holds three all-time Michigan records. Campbell has remained in Ann Arbor every summer to train with the national power Club Wolverine Swim Team. "It provides a better atmosphere for training when you swim with national-caliber swim- mers." Although he went home after his first year, Moran stayed in Ann Ar- bor last summer, finding it benefi- cial working with Campbell. "Urbanchek's program is a proven winner," said Moran. "He knows the skills of the swimmers' best and makes it fun. Plus, training with Alec only made me better." Winning the Big Ten Champi- onship the last two years makes all of the work worthwhile for Moran and Campbell. Both have team goals of repeating as Big Ten Champions and placing in the top five at NCAAs (they were sixth last year). IN ADDITION, both have the individual goals of qualifying for the NCAAs and Olympic trials. At the Big Tens, they are strong candidates to final in the 200-IM, and have a strong chance to go one-two in the 200-fly. Moran also hopes to successfully defend his 100-fly title, and Camp- bell should be among the, confer- ence's elite in the 400-IM, an event in which he currently has the sev- enth ranking in Michigan history. Urbanchek is glad that Campbell and Moran lasted through the initial swim lessons. The two are now the best butterfliers on the the Michigan team, ranked sixth in the country. "I don't really know what I'd be doing if I hadn't been in tnose swimming lessons," said Moran. "I probably would have pursued foot- ball, but I wouldn't be this happy. Swimming has been a positive experience for me. Added Campbell: "They threw me in once, and I'm glad they did." GE T IT!

William Ann Arbor, MI 48104 (Between 5th Ave. and Division) 3 minutes from central campus DALLAS (AP) - The Boston Red Sox, whose faulty bullpen led to their 1987 collapse, put the heat on the rest of the AL East Tuesday by trading for hard-throwing reliever Lee Smith. In a three-player deal that caught even Red Sox Manager John McNamara by surprise, Boston dealt right-handed starter Al Nipper and reliever Calvin Schiraldi to the Chicago Cubs for Smith, 30, one of baseball's premier stoppers. The only National League reliever to register at least 30 saves in four consecutive seasons, the 6-4, 245- pound Smith had 36 saves this year, 20 more than the entire Red Sox staff. Boston's 16 saves by Wes Gardner (10) and Schiraldi (6) were a major-league low. McNamara had just told reporters here for baseball's winter meetings that the Red Sox badly needed bull- pen help. Boston General Manager Lou Gorman then pulled him aside to tell him of the deal. "We've given up a pitcher who has been as good as anybody the last four years," said Jim Frey, the Cubs' newly named general manager. "But we came to the winter meetings to do something with our staff. We wanted another starter and Al Nipper has been a consistent winner if not a big winner." Nipper, 27, has never won more than 11 games in his four-year big league career and has a 42-43 career record with a 4.61 ERA. Nipper had a 1987 ERA of 5.43 with a record of 11-12, his third straight losing year with 12 losses. Another deal Tuesday sent Dave Parker, a six-time All-Star, from Cincinnati to Oakland for pitchers Jose Rijo, 22, and Tim Birtsas, 27. "You don't replace a Dave Parker, but we felt we need some more pitchers," Reds manager Pete Rose said. Recently, when Parker appeared headed to the New York Yankees, he smiled at the thought of batting between Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield. Instead, he will join slugger's row in Oakland with Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. "We think he's going to give us a lot of pop, particularly from the left side," Oakland General Manager Sandy Alderson said. Parker, 37, hit 26 home runs with 97 RBI last season but batted a career-low .253. He has a .297 lifetime average with 273 homers and 1.,190 RBI. A minor trade sent Atlanta Braves shortstop Rafael Ramirez to Hou- ston for two prospects, third base- man Ed Whited and pitcher Mike Stoker. Both were with Houston's Class-A minor-league affiliate last year. 665-6676 _I The Mail Shoppe will PACK & SHIP your clothes, typewriters, TV's, stereo components, computers, framed pictures, books, housewares. * Professional, experienced packing specialists (over 35 years postal experience) * Handling UPS and US Mail (foreign and domestic) * We also ship to foreign countries (crating, Bulk Air Cargo, Ocean Freight) * Packing supplies available: BOXES and TAPE of all sizes available * We also ship pre-wrapped parcels * Package pick-up service available * ACTUAL RATES CHARGED (plus package surcharge) We are the only shop in town charging actual rates = Extended hours for Dec. 14-23 Mon.- Fri. 8a.m. - 9 p.m. Sat. 9 a.m. - 6bp.m .
