The full list of selections was
not released until the middle
of this week, but as of Mon-
day, Novetsky had not heard
from any team. Any high
draft choicewould have been
contacted by then. If he was
a low selection, he would pro-
bably not receive a bonus
comparable to the worth of
his scholarship.
Novetsky will begin his
summer season with the
Ferndale American Legion
team this Sunday. Novetsky
will pitch in one game of a
doubleheader against Royal
Oak at Ferndale High School,
beginning at 2 p.m.
At Oak Park High this
season, Novetsky was 5-2
with 120 strikeouts in 55 in-
nings. He posted four saves
and a 1.01 ERA. The Red-
skins were 14-12 overall, 13-5
in the Suburban Athletic
Conference. Oak Park concen-
trated on its league schedule
and finished second to Willow
Run.
Novetsky will likely study
political science and pre-law
in college, although he has
not officially declared a major.
"Maybe I'll want to become —
if I don't make it in baseball
— a sports attorney or
something like that," he said.
West Bloomfield
Closes Strong
The West Bloomfield soft-
ball team, under coach Stew
Bronstein, rallied from a 3-7
start to finish 18-11 overall,
12-2 in the Metro Suburban
Activities Association.
"The big difference," Brons-
tein explained, "was that we
started playing together as a
team . . . We just did
everything well. We played
defense well, we hit well. It
was just a combination of all
these things that helped us do
well this season."
Senior starting outfielder
Jodi Frankel and reserve
Heather Saks contributed to
the Lakers' stong season.

Senate Adopts
Anti-USSR Trade
Amendment
Washington (JTA) — The
U.S. Senate adopted, by voice
vote, an amendment to the
military budget bill that
would require the president
to certify in writing that the
Soviet Union or any other
country is "in substantially
complete compliance" with
the human rights provisions
of the Helsinki Accords before
it could receive the trade
benefits.
The House bill does not con-
tain the provision, but
observers expect it to go along
when the Senate-House con-
ference committees irons out
the differences in the two
bills. The amendment, intro-
duced by Sen. James McClure
(R-Idaho), goes beyond the
Jackson-Vanik Amendment
which withholds most favored
nation status for the Soviet
Union until emigration from
