The intrepid "whirling dervish"
of the University said participa

cult as it appears.
HE SAID HE padded the in

to cushion the jostles, jolts and
bumps that are occupational haz

emerged from the dryer as the
unofficial national champion of
intercollegiate spinners.
SCHULTZ SAID, however, that
he would not attempt the feat

ephemeral as they may be.
Some observers said they feared
the new "sport," which they
termed "frivolous," would en
croach upon the popularity of
more sedate, standard pastimes
such as telephone booth stuffing.
