Stirring memories are kept alive'
in the mind of Michigan's wiz-
zard of the water, Matt Mann.
The British born coach recalls
the episodes in his career as a
swimming coach here at Michigan
very vividly. His accomplishments
have gained world recognition and
his rewards have been great. Here
are just a few scenes out of the

k

past decades with Matt Mann.

MARCH 27, 1932-It was a cold
rainy night and sleet was falling
on the windows of the Michigan
pool. Inside, the National Inter-
collegiate Swimming meet was
taking place. Stanford, a power-
ful team from the west, was heav-
ily favored to cop the title and,
the Wolverines were fighting for)
every point they could garner. I
The crowd was tense and a
deathly - silence prevailed' as
Michigan diver Dick Degener
climbed to the heights of the
diving board. He was compet-

swimming teams, the 1935 squad,
proved its power in a dual meet
with the Iowa Hawkeyes. The
Maize and Blue broke several rec-
ords and splashed its way to a
one-sided victory in what was
termed a "swimming carnival."
The 300-yard "medley relay
team, composed of Jack Kasley
(breast stroke), Taylor Drysdale
(back stroke), and Ogden Dal-
rymple (free style), began the
show. It sped to a 2:59 time
which was 4.4 seconds beneath
the old mark. Kasley continued
with a record-breaking 2:26.2
for the 200-yard breast stroke,
which eclipsed the intercolle-
giate mark of 2.29.
Then Drysdale took over. He
bested his old 150-yard backstroke
record of 3/10 of a second with a
time of 1:38.4. This was a new

records. The 400-yard free style
relay team set a new record of
3:37.9 for that event and Dal-
rymple picked up the 60-yard
sprint mark in :29.4.
Frank Barnard took the 220-
yard free style record with a
2:13.4 effort, erasing the old
time by six seconds.
And all that Coach Mann could
say was, "the boys just went
crazy."
* * *
MARCH 24-25, 1939-The Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso-
ciation swimming championships
were in progress with some of the
greatest swimming stars in his-
tory competing. Michigan was the
defending champion and relied on
such men as Charley Barker, Tom
Haynie, and Walt Tomski to re-
tain its title.

The day opened with Haynie.
the Michigan captain, takingf
the 220. Princeton countered1
with a 2:54 time in the 300-yard
medley relay to bring tremen-
dous applause from the crowd.
Barker beat out his teammate
Tomski for an upset in the 50-
yard sprint after Tomski tied af
record in that event in the
trials. Thus, the Wolverines
led at the end of the first day,z
34-30, over Ohio State.
Mann was pleased. He knew
that his squad was better at Sat-
urday's events. Princeton opened
the second day with a world-rec-j
ord by Richard Hough in the 220-
yard breast stroke.
In the 100-yard free style event
Barker was tied by Southern Cal's
Paul Wolf. Haynie wrapped it up
with a new pool record in the 440
and even a victory in the high
