Young swimmers ' varsity team In spite of having only 13 returning swimmers on the team this year, Coach Cour- tney Porter was very en- thusiastic about the potential of the new varsity squad. Though lack of depth caused Porter to put junior varsity competition aside, the combination of upper and lower classmen should put the league title well within the grasp of the 19 member varsity team. ulndividual talent should more than compensate for lack of depth, Porter speculated. Indeed, with the talents of seniors Del Bechthold, Chris Doe, and Brad Leabo, who set a school record last season in the 500 yeard freestyle, teamed with that of fresh- man Alan Stender, All- American contender, the team should more than equal the accomplishments of last year's squad. The additonal efforts of sophomores Steve Galgiani, Daren Girsh, and Richard Townlin and freshman Steven Kurihara could make the difference in overcoming league rival Lincoln, who was favored to capture the title this year.

New head coach was Ed Pickering, who had been an assistant for three years. Outstanding swimmers for the season were Juli Hankins, Jan Parson, and Dinita Spracher in the freestyle events, and Shelly Dildey in the 100 backstroke. Pickering said his most valuable swimmer was junior Lori Dean, who had previously specialized in the 100 breaststroke but turned to the individual medley which requires strength and ability in all four strokes. 5 4.
