ii THE M'CH'GAN CAT 'OL'C-March 5- 1964-1' THE MICHIGAN CATHOLIC-Merch 12, n-994-11 im Crown Three-Way Fighf For Second Spof t AUSTIN High's talent-laden swimming squad is an over- whelming favorite to retain Catholic Leagus swimming honors lor a fourth straight year and the fifth 'Dime in six years. Evidence' of the Frlars' su- periority was pointed up in Wednesday! prellminaries at Patton Pool. The three-time prep .swim monarch asserted itself in no uncertain terms by qualifying 19 individuals and two relay teams for Sun- day's finals scheduled for 2:30 p.m. .Coamh Mel Glovannuocfl Austin squad should never be headed. The real battle should evolva for runner-up honor! with Vlsltation, De- LaSa.llo and tho University of Detroit High battling it out Io: second place. The Cubs will be represent- ed in Sunday? 'title tests at Patton Pool by eight indi- viduals and two relay teams. DeLaSa1lo qualified seven na- tabors and two relay teams while Visitation has six indi- viduals and I relay team in the championship events. Jerry Gorlki, defending Class B 200-yard individual medley champion, and Tom Lees, Benedictine! High stel- lar swimmer, both shattered two reconds apiece in Monday and Wednesday trials. GORSKI broke his own mark in the 200-yard individ- ual medley Monday when the Visitation senior was timed in 2:15.8 bettering his previous record of 2:20.3. Wednesday he set another standard by winning the 100-yard breast- stroke in the remarkable time of 1:04. Lees added the 100-yardi freestyle record to his lllt Wednesday when he was timed in :52.5. He bettered the 50- yard freestyle mark Monday set in 1958 by Tom Kennary of St. Charles' when he was timed in :23.6 as cofmpaxed bo the old mark of :24.2. Austin High had one rloonl- setter in Miko O'Connor, whn splashed to the front Wednes- day in the 400-yard freestyle wit-h a superlative 4232.8 el- fort. Dick Zuba of Dearborn Sacred Heart, who finished second in this event, and Bob Kuhnlein of Visitation High, the third place finisher, both battered the old record.

SAME OLD STORY.-Getting dunked and receiving championship swimming trophies is old stuff for Mel Giovannuccl. The Friars mentor along with Capt. Mike 0'C0nn0r accept- I ed the Catholic League team title award last Sunday from Ralph Owen, executive director, for 'the fourth straight year. Austin had too many guns for its rivals and had little trouble posting 99 points in the finals. Its nearest rival was DeLaSalle with 50 points. 1MC,photo by Utyka-nskil . Friars Swimming Menfor Keeps Record Uniainfed WHO IS THE most success-' ful Catholic prep coach in the Archdiocese? How about the fabulous Mel Giovannucci? In fam' short years he has built Aus- tin' High into one of the state's prep swimming powers. When his Friars beat out eight other challcngers at Pat- ton Pool Iast Sunday to win the Cathdlic League swim- tming championship again, Giovannucci had his fourth straight titleholder in four years. He also maintained his perfect record against Catho- lic League opposition. Giovannucci, a former Bos- ton University swim ace, has guided his Friar charges to 44 straight conference dual vic- tories as well as four consecu- tive Catholic championships. His lads have lost only three dual meets over that span, but only to the' bigger public school teams. Depth has bden the key to Giovannucci's spectacular suc- cess. This was pointed up clearly in last Sunday's finals. The Friars had only three first-place winners as compar- ed tio Visitatioxfs four, but Austin picked up seven run- ner-up spots, four finished third. another pair ended fourth'and four more fifth. Austin piled up 99 points as compared to second-place De- LaSal1e's 50 counters. Visita- tion was next with 34. Other team totals follow: UD High, 30: Dearborn Sac- red Heart, 19: Cathedral, 14: Redford St., Mary's, 113 Bene- dictlne and Notre Dame, seven each, and St. Pau1's, five.. SIX RECORDS were written into the books. Jerry Gorski and Bob Kuhnlein. each racked up a pair of victories in the finals, to account for Visita- tion's four first-p,laces. Gorski, State Class yard individual medley champ, set a new mark in this event when he was timed in 2:14.4. He won the 100-yard breast- stroke in 1:O4.9. Kuhnlein set a new stan- dard in the 400-yard freestyle in 4:29.1, bettering the 4132.6 set by Mike O'Connor of Aus- tin in the preliminaries. John Skanze, another Friar ate, shattered the oldest rec- ord in the book with a win- ning 1:01.9 effort in the 100- yard backstroke in beating the 1:O2.7 set by Fred Michalik of Holy Redeemer in 1957. Y DeLaSaI1e's 200-yard, medley relay squad knocked one-sec- B 220- ond off the 1:55.11 registered' by Austin in 1962. Members of the Pilot 'squad were Ken Nardone, Steve Boney, Bob Dael and'Jim Gray. V I PAUL Down, who quarter-I backed Redford St. Mary'S, team last fall, pulled the big-i. gest upset when he beat Tom Lees of Benedictine in the 50- yard freestyle in :23.8. Lees had a record :23.6 in .last Wed-' nesday's preliminaries. Lees won the 100-yard free- style in :53.2 but he failed to? better his record 152.5 setin: the preliminaries. I Tom Szatkowski of DeLa-E Salle won the diving event.f while Mike O'Connor of Aus-'I tin topped me field inthe 100-I yard butterfly in :59.1.' Austin's winning 200-yard freestyle relay unit composed of Dick Gehlert, Frank Bagn- asco,.Owen Mark and Peter Wayne, was timed in 1:43. Only two schools have won Catho1ic.League swim titles. Visitation headed the' pgck six times,and Austin five in the llbyear' history of the title! meet. 1 1
