When you try finding a window which allows a look into the workings of an athletic team in hopes of diagnosing an ailment, there is a method that usually works. Take all the information, quotes, opinions, notes, letters and late-night dormitory discussions, and throw it on a soil screen. Then start to shake the theories and ideas and actual facts, and pretty soon the dirt will fall through and only the rocks will be left. These are the inconsistencies, the bugs, the problems. Penn State's swimming team has two stones left on the screen that just won't go through. They say Lion swimming coach Lou Mac Neill is inconsistent in his philosophy, and that he is insensitive to some of his swimmers. Not all of Penn State's swimmers will agree with that, but many (a half dozen have openly said it) would point to those twp problems. First there are the inconsistencies in his philosophy. Case in point: Mac Neill told his team when he cut it originally to 34 swimmers that there would be no more cuts. But in early January the team was trimmed again to 24 swimmers, two swimmers for each swimming lane in the Natatorium. Mac Neill says that when he decides who will swim an event he only looks at times unless he feels someone has been working exceptionally hard and deserves the chance However, his swimmers point to instance after instance where one swimmer has been passed over for another who *vfas neither a faster swimmer nor a harder worker. Likewise with the decisions on who goes and swims at away meets. Also, many point to the fact that Mac Neill spends most of his time with the swimmers who score points, something that doesn't jive with his stated philosophies on points and winning. Particularly the low people on the swimming totem pole point out that they are almost ignored by the head coach. Freshman backstroker Steve Gaydosh is an example. "He picks who ever he wants," Gaydosh said in reference to the prerequisites for getting into meets. "You can't trust him, he'll just turn around and do what he wants. If you're not a top swimmer. he doesn't give a damn about you. I like to swim. but this has taken all the fun out, He doesn't do what he says tie's going to do " Then there's the matter of not being sensitive to the needs and feelings of his swimmers. They aren't bothered by the fact that he doesn't shoot off cannons and pass out cigars every ime they come into the locker room, but some feel they are Foreman starts training HOUSTON (AP) Heavy- for a cancellation of a %%eight champion George scheduled 10-round benefit Foreman. in Houston for a exhibition bout Foreman had divorce action, will start scheduledFeb.2sinSanJuan, training here Friday for his Puerto Rico.
