With Only the Spain tournament this week it Tor Cjon remaining returns have been very Slaw. Only 1 1 boys coaches and 12 girls coaches have submitted recommendations. 1 realize there might be some schools who might not have any players their coaches deem All Europe Caliper. But the percentage submitting entries appears to be Way Loo Low. Perhaps several coaches have nut their gear away and forgot to mail their recommendations. I certainly Hope that the coaches from inc various conferences did t get together and decide that their All conference choices would suffice As the football coaches did. That was collusion then it would be collusion again.

I asked Chuck Vinch of the is Washington Bureau la Check with Dodds officials there regard ing letters for swimmers before 1 wrote last week column. Lie was unable to make Contact in time. Since then Vinch talked with Public affairs officer Kay Garvey. Here is the Dodds Washington rationale on Pic subject swimming is a classical sport in major High schools in the United Stales. Dodds can offer this sport in Only a few Sites whereas he european forces swim league has a Well developed swim pro Gram. The league has standards that meet or exceed those within the provisions of the United states swimming inc., rules and regulations. Therefore in a determined that varsity letters Tor swimming within the european forces swim league will be  the key words there of course arc in major High schools. Over Here swimming is not a sport in any High school. I Don t know what constitutes a classical sport. Have been involved with sports for More than 29 years 35 almost exclusively on the High school level and that was die fint time i had seen classical use Din thai connotation. Vinelt also asked Garvey about the possibility of athletes in other non Dodds sports gelling varsity letters. The awarding of varsity letters for inc european forces swim league will serve As a Pilot for such actions. At the end of one year this program will be evaluated. Based on that evaluation we will deter mine whether to extend the awarding of varsity Lei tors to other school year sports activities that arc unavailable within the Dodds  this completely contradicts the message conveyed to Dodds Germany director Joseph Blackstead who told me last week thai he had been assured by Dodds Washington people that the awarding of such inters would be restricted to swimmers.
