Swimmers capture

2nd in NLC meet

By GARY LEWIS For Wawasee’s swimming team, last week's NLC swim meet at Plymouth was another successful step for the Warriors in 1983. Wawasee ran away with second-place in the conference clash, the exact position coach Tim Caldwell expected his club to finish at the beginning of the season, and in doing so established the Warriors as a favorite in the upcoming Elkhart Central sectional that begins tomorrow (Thursday). On the strength of Greg Day s third consecutive record in diving; and two first-place finishes in both relays, the Warriors scored 223 points. At 14-2, thjs season's edition of Wawasee \ Warriors already established themselves as the winningest team in school history. The Warriors finished behind perennial powerhouse Goshen. “No secret that Goshen was going to win. People thought there would be more of a battle for second than there was. though,” said Caldwell. Wawasee finished well ahead of third-place finisher Concord. After Thursday’s events, only a few points separated Warsaw, Concord and Wawasee. But when the meet resumed Saturday, the Warriors started to walk away with sole possession of second. At Elkhart Central, the Red-

'Bear' Bryant remembered

By PETE FRITCHIE WASHINGTON, DC. - The best quotes in the press about the late Paul “Bear” Bryant, it seemed to me, were from Bryant himself, explaining why he left Texas A & M and went back to Alabama to coach, and one from a black fellow coach. Bryant’s: “It was like when you were out in the field and you heard your mama calling you to dinner.” he said. “Mama called.” The other was by longtime friend Florida A & M coach, Jake Gaither, telling how Bryant took small players, what he could get, and made them into winners. Bryant for some years at Alabama was known for having small, quick players — perhaps he couldn’t then get the Jt>est big ones, for in the years immediately before his arrival there, that school had a very poor won-loss record. Said Gaither: “He could take his and beat, yours, and he could take yours and beat his.” That worked against almost all football teams It didn’t work, sometimes, against bigger teams just as highly motivated as the Crimson Tide. The best example A of that is Alabama’s experience with Notre Dame in the bowls. In the 1973 Sugar Bowl Bryant took his smaller players into a. battle with Notre Dame, and lost

skins are expected to win its sixth-straight sectional crown and Caidwell knows it. “We're shooting for second, but Elkhart Central will be he said. At the level, however, host Elkhart Central is expected to give the Warriors all it can handle. The meet is divided into two-day sessions, similar to the conference meet. Two records were set at the meet. In the 200 freestyle, Tony Boyer's 1.49.92 first-place time broke a school record and Greg Day broke his own meet record with a 437.65 score in diving. That was the third straight year Day has captured the NLC record in diving. Tim Crum, Brad Overmyer. Bret Hite and Rob Green . tured the 200 medley relay. Bob Galloway finished fourth and Tim Crum sixth in the 2001. M.. Green placed 10th in the 50 freestyle and Andy Wysong third. Jon Morgan finished 12th in the 100 butterfly and Brett Hite placed eighth. Andy Wysong placed second in the 100 freestyle, Jon Shoemaker ninth and Overmyer 11th. In the 500 freestyle. Boyer finished second followed by Galloway in seventh. Crum finished second in the 100 backstroke and Benji Reed sixth. In the 100 breast stroke. Todd Smith placed seventh and Overmyer sixth and in the 400 freestyle relay the team of Boyer, Galloway, Hite and Wysong won the event with a 3.31.68 time.

23-24. Two years later, in the Orange Bowl, he lost again, by two points, 13-11. He lost his last major bowl game also, to Texas in the Cotton Bowl, in 1982,12-14. His last great bowl victory was in 1981, when the Tide trounced Baylor 30-2 in the Cotton Bowl, his fourth straight major bowl win. Alabama won three straight Sugar Bowls in the three preceding years — 35-6 over Ohio State in 1978,14-7 over Penn State in 1979, and 24-9 over Arkansas in 1980. But even in the past season be was capable of surprising results, and was the only winner over number-one Penn State. Frosh basketball team wins fifth The Wawasee freshmen, basketball team won its fifth game of the season at Rochester last week, downing the freshmen Zebras 42-36. Leading scorers for coach Galen Hershberger’s squad were David Kistler with 20. Jon Evans had eight rebounds. The win upped the team’s record to 5-10. In a “B” team game, Rochester beat the Warriors 24-23 for the squad’s 14th loss in a row. Craig Cobbum scored eight and Travis Reiff had eight rebounds.
