"We could finish any place from second to fifth in the Big Ten meet," Counsilman said. "We ought to win a couple of first places, hut no one is going to beat Michigan." Counsilman said Indiana's major weakness is in diving and that "the swimmers can't make up the deficit." The I.U. coach said that he hoped a diving coach will be added to the lloosier staff by next year. He predicted that Indiana never will be able to win the national collegiate title without some top divers. He pointed out that the conference's perennial i mrr.ing powers Michigan and Ohio State a 1 a have good point-producers in the diving events.

HE PRFDICTID that the new indoor and outdoor swimming pools at Indiana will help out greatly in stimulating swimming interest. But, he still stressed the need for more attention to the tank sport in Indiana high schools, where swimming is all too often shoved into the shadows by other sports. Phillips, commenting on the Stevenson case at Seymour, said it's his opinion that if the courts can overrule the 1HSAA on eligibility matters, they also can tell the Big Ten, NCAA, American Legion, CYO and even the Little Leagues who is and isn't eligible. Judge Ernie S. Burke, club president, introduced Counsil man and complimented him on "the fine job he's done in attracting top swimmers and bringing them along at Indiana." J.C.

"There's no doubt about it," said Ferris, "the height was not measured after the jump as required by the rules." Thomas.

17-year-old Boston University freshman, made his iccord leap in the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden a week ago last Saturday.

"When John made the jump, iveryone was excited and con-g'atulating him. 1 noticed that the crossbar had not been measured after he went over.

"So I told the officials to measure it. But, in the meanwhile. Charlie Dumas (the world's first 7-fonter) was getting ready to jump. "I told him to hold up until it was measured. But he said to me: "'I can't.

That was the message given to members of the Indiana University Alumni Club nf Indianapolis yesterday noon by Jim Counsilman. the dynamic coach who appears well on the way to leading the lloosiers toward the top in the conference splash scene. FRESH FROM a great victory over Michigan State's favored team Saturday night, Counsilman urged the alums to help improve the high school swimming facilities of this state. Counsilman pointed out that the state of Michigan has 126 high school swimming trams while Indiana has lfi and some of them must use YMCA pools instead of swimming in their own. L.

Phillips, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, sounded a similar note. He said that whenever school and tax of i-(ials started trying to pare down the cost of a new hiph school, the first thing to go is the swimming pool. "I've long been embarrassed that we don't have a better swimming program than we do in Indiana." the MSAA chief said. He mentioned that when he took over the post, there was no real state high school swimming meet but merely an Invitational affair.
