Swim starter: intersquad meet By J. Eric Jacobson S 858 Staff Writer With only six men, the Grine nell swimming team is prepar— ing to face its first opponents, Monmouth and Cornell, at home next Saturday. In explaining the situation, Coach Irv Silnone said, “We won’t have a swimming team this year. We’ll have a club. We'll call it the Barracuda Club and only the toughest can get in the club. six men have earned membership and we’ll get another at the semes- ter. We’re going to have fun in this club." The swimmers are Jim Adel- man, Jim Cross, Palmer Hart], Zal Lefliowitz, Ralph Pray and Jim Sable, Howard Schein will become eligible for competition lat the semester. IT TAKES a minimum of nine swimmers to present a full meet ‘team. Simone declines to indi- {Cate how he will use his six ‘men, feeling that it would be more strategic to keep it a (surprise. l Some indication of who willl swim what may be found by examining last year’s team Adelman and Pray swam dis tance events. Cross, Lefkcwitz and Sehein were sprinters and Hartl swam breaststroke. Soble is a first year man with the ad» ditional handicap of a broken hand that Will not Come out oft the Cast until tomorrow. Several Changes have been made in conference rule: this year. The 220 and >140 yard free- style events have been changed to 200 and 500 yards and a 200 butterfly race has been added. Relay scoring has been changed from 8 and 4 points to 7 and 0. Tomorrow the varsity will swim an intersquad meet with the freshmen. Spectators are in- vited to the meet which will be- gin at 3 pm. FRESHMAN swimmers com- peting will be Roger Abendroth, Les Hackett, Mick Hager, Eric Jacobson, John Kraai, Dave Lundberg, l-lugli Pennington and Tom Pester. Cagers preparing for opener By Phil King 5&3 Stafi Writer The Grinnell basketball team will open the 1962-63 campaign next Friday when they journey to St. Olaf. Missing from last year’s cham— pionship aggregation are stand- outs Bob Musser, George Gray, Bill Parsons, and co-Captain Ray Horton. But Coach John Piitsch boasts a fine group of sopho.. mores in addition to five return- ing lettermen. Good height, ex- cellent shooting and. rebounding, Brown named captain, MVP Grinnell’s fine sophomore dis- tance runner, Rod Brown, swept all postseason honors when he, was voted the most valuable run- not and captain tor next year by his teammates. A durable little plugger, he paced Coach Dick Young’s Pia oneers all season, finishing sec- ond in the Midwest Conference meet and failing to win a dual run only once. That time he was second to a teammate. His 15:20 in the threeemile conference go was the best evA er recorded by a Grinnelljran in this meet, by some 14 seconds. He also holds course records at Carleton and Grinnell. Best Fina in Town and Best- Service Too AHRVANO'S Open Till 12:00 PM. Daily 10:30 PM. Sunday Free Delivery and fair speed characterize the‘ new version of the Pioneers. THE VETERANS mentioned include seniors Gar Smith, Den- nis Asby and Kent hogerson. Smith. a 540 senior, has been a regular for two years and is the playmaker of the club. Asby and Rogerson, at 6-3 and 64, are strong rebounder and accurate shots. Juniors John Sundell, at 6~7 the tallest man on the team, and Jim Midlin, 6-3, will pro- vide much of the scoring punch, as they did last year. Other upperclassmen include seniors Jack Grinin, 6‘1, and Bob Shepherd, so, and junior Tony Schroer, 6-2. Eight sopho- mores round out the squad, These include Barry Anderson, 6-0, Don McWethy, 5.9, Tom Buchholtz, 6-1, Clyde Smith, 6-3, Larry Neal, 673, Randy Morgan, 5‘11, Dick Ulrich, sea, and Dave Sellergren, 5.10. Coach Pfitsch admits to be- ing “very happy with the whole team" at this stage or practice. Scrimmages have been spirited and competition intense, as everyone has shown well. Among the sophomores Pfitsch lpoints to Buchholtz and Seller— gran as being the outstanding candidates for the guard spots vacated by the graduation of Parsons and Gray. Clyde Smith has shown promise in the fore- court, 6:00—12:00 Pfitsch expects to, emphasize versatility again this year, con- tinuing the plan which brought the l961-62 team an 13-4 rec- 0rd. Mifilin and Asby are capa— ble of playing nearly anywhere in the patented Grinnell offense, and Rogerson and Sundell pro- vide ample height tor the post positions. Piitsch is very enthusiastic about Miiilin, who is expected to lead a well—balanced scoring attack. Each of the five return— ing lettermen had averages of around lo points per game last year. The coach points to a genere al improvement in the confer ence teams as a major obstacle to a. second consecutive cham- pionship, but concedes that the Pioneers have the potential and must be figured as CD- fnvorites in the running. All, By Jim Hermg 58:13 Sports Co-editor The Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference has put Life, Look, Sport and the rest of the Official AlleAmez’i- can football team pickers to shame. Where each of these magazines might pick a first and second team (22 play- ers), the MCAC has for its All-Conference selections 61105" en a first—team offense, 3 first-team defense, a second- "team offense, a second~team defense and 58 honorable melltions7102 players in all. Thus the MCAC has chosen 102 players as the best in it conference comprised of ten teams which can only have 110 playels on the field on any time during the five Saturday afternoon games. The crystal-ball gazers named three Pioneers to the starting offensive and three to the top defensive team, giving Grinnell 27 per cent of the starting teams. They gave Grinnell 18.2 per cent of the second teams and 17.7 per cent of the first teams, second teams and the honorable mentions combined. This means 18 out of the 102 named were from Grinnell. A mistake has been made. The MCAC is naming every good player in the Conference (and perhaps a few favon‘te sons who aren’t even good) instead of naming the best players. In 2t league of ten teams it’s deep within the realm of the absurd to name 102 players. 0n the mythical team Denny Asby was named to a stalting defensive tackle although he played little at that position during the season. Sophomore Dennis Homer-in played the defensive tackle spot for the Pioneers during much of the season. Beloit, one of the most impotent offensive teams in the Conference, picked up one starter on the offensive team iJohn Gomez, a burly tackle. And two Beloit backs, a. guard, and a tackle received honorable mention as offen» Sive players. How can stars be chosen from a team which went nowhere? Grinnell Sports a sixeman swimming team this year. This virtually eliminates the team from any chance of winning dual meets. Half of this year’s varsity consists of lettelmen, all fine swimmers. The other half is untried on the varsity level. The Tact that the once outstanding Grinnell swimming team is reduced to at six-man squad is Sad. Last year Grin- nell possibly had its strongest team ever but: lost in the Conference meet to an even stronger Carleton contingent. Moreover, Irv Simone, the Grinnell coach, has produced nine Conference champions in the last 11 years. Then this year several outstanding swimmers failed to come out for the sport they excel in. The backstlloker who finished second in the Conference last year and first the year before has quit. The finest all-event swimmer on the team last year has quit. The swimmer who was named the most improved for two straight years has quit. The Conference champion div- er has transferred. A transfer student who dove for the freshmen last year has quit. Others have quit. Last year Grinnell slm'mming publicity was filled with information about three sophomores who were advertised asefilrinllell's hope for the future. Two of them have re- tir . Why do these swimmers no longer wish to compete on the intercollegiate level? Some say they’re tired of ,swimming. Some say they don't get along with the coach. ‘Some say their grade point suffers when they swim. Some don’t wish to follow a rigid training schedule; they must if they wish to swim for Simone. Are these reasons valid? Do they have to be? I have no pat answer. No student is under any compulsion to par» ticipate in anything at Gl‘innell. I am not aiming an ang-ly blast at the swimmers or the coach. I’m only pointing out the situation which exists today. PHARMACY VARSITY NEWS
