Diving Important Factor
In Gym Captain's Success
By DAVE GREY
Diving boards to trampolines is
the simplest way to tell the suc-
cess story of Bill Winkler, cap-
tain of the 1954-55 gymnastics
team.
The similarity of skill involved
between the acrobatics of a man
on the trampoline and a diver off
the board is notable. The same
precision of form is necessary in
both sports, as well as similar
body motions. The high school
diving career of Bill Winkler gave
him a start in the right direction.
Stager Tells Mann
Winkler originally planned to
attend Western Michigan College
upon graduation from Grosse
Pointe High, but was spotted by
present Michigan swim coach, Gus
Stager. Stager told ex-coach Matt
M Mann about Winkler, and Mann
encouraged the young diver to
come to Michigan.
While taking a gym course un-
der the tutelage of Newt Loken,
gymnastics coach, Winkler became
interested in the trampoline. Lo-
ken asked him to come out for the
gym team.. The transition from
board to tramp was easy.
Winkler Leads
Since that time, through hard
work and natural ability, Winkler
has become top Michigan trampo-
line man. Last year in his first
season of varsity competition he
placed fourth in the Big Ten in
that event.
Loken expects his captain to
rate near the top again this sea-
son. "Winkler is a hard worker-
dependable--and sets a fine ex-
amle for the rest of the squad."
Besides being a member of the
Druids and head of the cheer-
leading squad, Winkler is a good
student and has aided Loken in
trampoline and tumbling exhibi-
tions throughout the state.

Ice Hockey
Originated
At McGill
The lightning fast game of ice
hockey has been in existence since
1879, when several imaginative
McGill University students thought
of putting the game of field hock-
ey on skates.
Although many people have felt
for a long time that our present
sport was derived from lacrosse
and the Canadian Indians, more
recently evidence proves that this
is probably not the case.
As Frederic Hague, a member
of the first McGill team, ognce said,
"To say that the Indians originat-
ed a game played on ice with
skates is obviously wrong because,
during the Canadian winters, the
Indians were too much occupied
with getting food to think of play-
ing games. The French Canadians,
until recently, dhid not go in for
sports to any extent."
The First Game
The first game of hockey played
in the area of Montreal was a
mixture of field hockey with a few
Rugby football rules "thrown in."
Teacs were established for nine
men on a side, but so many stu-
dents showed up that the contest
turned into a "Merry scramble"
with everyone who could find a
stick participating.
R. F. Smith, one of the sport's
main instigaters at McGill,: is
quoted as saying, "Our clubs were
a motley collection. Some boys
borrowed their father's walking
sticks. Others used stipped lacrosse
clubs . . . broomhandles or
branches cut from trees."
The first puck was the squared
off core of a hard rubber ball,
since the ball in its entirety
bounced around too much.
New Stroke May Force
Change in Tank Marks.
4-
By BOB JONES
An Olympic Committee rule
change, made in 1952 and origi-
nally considered the death-war-
rant of the breaststroke event, has
proved to be a shot in the arm
for the sport of swimming.
The first reaction of United
States swim coaches to the change,
which ruled out the overarm re-
covery of the "butterfly" stroke,
was one of indignation. America
3.t first disregarded the change.
The 1953-54 season saw no
change-over in Intercollegiate
Rules.wAmerican breaststrokers
still swam the butterfly arm-
stroke with the conventional kick,
and no one swam -the orthodox
under-water recovery.
This year thingschanged. The
Intercollegiate Rule Book now
recognizes two separate strokes-
the breaststroke and the butterfly
stroke. The underwater recovery
is the only one accepted for the
breaststroke.
Concerning the breaststroke
kick, the rule reads: "The feet.
shall be drawn up together, the
knees bent and apart ... Up and
down movements of the legs in
the vertical plane are prohibited."
Stroke Explained -
The butterfly rule demands an
overarm recovery "when the swim-
mer is on the surface." "Both arms

must be brought forward together
over the water and brought back-
ward simultaneously." Any simul-
taneous leg kick is acceptable.
This last allows for the use of
the so-called "dolphin" or "fish-
tail" kick-a simultaneous up and
down whipping of the legs. The
tremendous increase of speed
which this kick gives is best il-
lustrated by looking at the Euro-
pean 100 meter breaststroke mark.
The record with the fishtail still
illegal was in the vicinity of 1:05.0.
This summer a Hungarian, using
the new kick, lowered the mark
to 1:02.4.
Now Two Events
The separation of the old stroke
into two styles has given swim-
ming a new stroke. Addition of a
new event is a boost to any sport.
It gives athletes a new field in
which to establish records. Also
the colorful dolphin kick and the
overwater recovery of the butter-
fly give plenty of "splash"-some-
thing which pleases the specta-
tors.
Another attraction lies in the
fact tltat most spectators have
never seen an orthodox breast-
stroke race. This event is being
swum mostly underwater now. A
good breaststroker will go the first
fifty yards under the surface, com-
ing up only at the end of a lap
for air after the second turn is
passed.
The new rule also includes a
change in the distances involved.
The past few years, dual meet
competition has included only a
200 yard breaststroke event. This
rule will hold true, with swimmers
covering the distance in the orth-
odox style.
In the NCAA and Big Ten meets,
however, the old 100 yard event
will be discarded for a 200 yard
butterfly distance.
Stager Speaks
Michigan swimming coach, Gus
Stager, feels the new rule is
"great for swimming." He said
that Wolverine breaststrokers are
adapting very well to the butter-
fly stroke. Stager cited Bumpy
Jones, and Jack and Bert Ward-
rop as having picked up the fish-
tail kick quite rapidly.
Stager feels that butterfly swim-
mers will soon turn in times of
"about 53 or 52 seconds" for the
100 yard event. The record under
the old rules was :58.8.

shirts. We'll inoculate 'em all!

NEW YORK - Oct. 23, 1954 in
football-mad Columbus, O h i o.
There were 82,000 people in the
stadium to see the crucial game
between Ohio State and Wiscon-
sin for the possible Big Ten cham-
pionship and the Rose Bowl bid.
Wisconsin was trying for a sec-
ond touchdown when Howard
"Hopalong" Cassady snatched a
Badger pass out of the air arui
sped 88 yards down the sidelines
for a touchdown. That was the
key play not only of one game, but
of an entire season.
Fourteen of the football writers
and broadcasters participating in
The Associated Press postseason
football poll cast their votes for
Cassady's run as the season's most
spectacular incident.
