JANUARY 31. 1~C8 -I W.# JL*,Npu J Arbitration Board To Present Findings Spartans Wreck Irish, 89-68 * * * * * * WASHINGTON (,P)-The Fed- eral Arbitration Board which is seeking to end a dispute over con- trol of amateur sports will make its report Thursday afternoon to vice president Hubert H. Hum- phrey. Theodore Kheel of New York, chairman of the committee, other members of the board, and mem- bers of Congress will hold a news conference at 3 p.m. EST in the Capitol to mate the report public. Details of the panel's recom- mendations are being kept secret but a source close to Humphrey's office said: "It is a final, definit- lve, summary judicial report ruling on every last point in contention. "The board says here is our re- port, it is binding and this is what we rule," he said. "The report couldn't be more decisive." Archibald Cox, former solicitor, general, a board member, and a Harvard law professor, will explain the legality of the report and what was called "their binding nature" an the groups who now control amateur sports. Lately, however, the two ama- teur sports organizations have said they might not be bound by the ruling of the federal mediation board. Brown Says He May Quit PHILADELPHIA (P) - Tim Brown, the PhiladelphiaEagles back who was traded yesterday to Baltimore, says that "unless the price is right" he will not play pro football ne;:t year. "I hate to put it that way, but it will take a lot to go over cer- tain things I've got working," Brown said yesterday night in an interview. He was traded for Baltimore de- fensive back Alvin Haymond in a telephone conversation between Eagles General Manager-Coach Joe Kuharich in Detroit and Balti- more Coach Don Shula in New York.

Big Poll Lead; yore Easy Wins EAST LANSING. Mich. (A) - Harrison Stepter banged in 17 points in the first half and Mich- igan State subdued Notre Dame by a handsome margin, 89-68. in a nonconference basketball duel last night. The Irish trailed by as much as 26 points in the second half, but hit 13 straight points while Stepter was resting on the bench to nar- row MSU's margin with about three minutes to go. Then the Spartans tacked on a few more points to secure the lead, Lee Laf ayette, who scored -16 points, did a strong defensive job on Notre Dame's Bob Whitmore, who has been averaging more than 23 points per game but got only 11 against Michigan State. The Spartans led by 14 points at halftime. much of it on Stepter's flashy shooting, including several driving layups, a couple of them after he had stolen the ball from the Irish offense. CLARK NORTON - tlkih9 Outi The .dick Vidmer Story Graduating college football players with urofessional ambitions had a right to be a bit nervous yesterday. Dick Vidmer, '68, sat quietly in his room.

Dick Vidmer will "probably go to Michigan grad school next year, unless I end up doing something else . .. ." He doesn't say what that might be. But you get the feeling that your guess is as good as his. Yesterday was a day when you could roll down your lar windows, fand it almost seemed a little like summer , It is August, and sweltering Ferry Field finds Dick Vidmer in a blue jersey directing the Wolverines in practice . . he is a pre-season All-America in the eyes of many . . . the Michigan quarterback in the eyes of all. January and the pro draft are many months away - a football season away, a season which promises to establish Vidmer as one of the top passers in the country, and assure him a spot in the hearts, and pocketbooks, of Vince Lombardi, Joe Schmidt, George Halas . . . . "In retrospect and looking at it objectively, you'd have to say the coaches made the right decision," Vidmer decides, and then repeats it again as if to convince himself as much as anyone else. "They had to make a change when they did . . . they had to do something to get the team moving ... the offense did pick up after- wards . . . I don't know if it meant we won any more games, but it probably did . . . the coaches like to go with one set of guys the whole time to give them a sense of security . . . I think I still could have helped in spots..." But for all practical purposes bne bad game-Michigan State, the third game of the season-and that was it. No action, just headphones. No dirty jerseys, except in practice. No blue jerseys, except at game time. No glory, just "Whatever happened to . . .." "... Dick Vidmier, numbei 27, replaces Dennis Brown at quarterback for Michigan. The Wolverines lead Wisconsin 27-14 with but minutes to go . . . " and Vidmer is listed in the official statistics for the fourth and last time in 1967. A i i I 11 MICIJIGANENSIAN ORDERS BEING TAKEN 2ND FLOOR, STUDENT PUBLICATIONS BLDG. 420 MAYNARD, ANN ARBOR 11 "I'm not sure how it happened," Vidmed shrugs. "I must have thrown too much.. I threw all winter, all spring, and all summer.. and ended up with a limp, dead arm. I couldn't throw the ball as hard * and crisp this fall as before .. . my arm just deadened out on me." Vidmer had always been rated an extremely accurate passer.. "I was still fairly accurate this year. Inexperienced receivers didn't help ...." ... But since being injured in his sophomore season four years ago had been slowed as a runner . . . . "I just wasn't a good ! runner this year. Even last year I ran fairly well toward the end of the season. When I came here I fit well into the scheme of sprint-out passing, because I was quick and could run, but then I got hurt .... I'd be better as a drop-back passer, because I'd have more time to set up, but Bump will never coach drop-back passing . .. it's a question of fitting the material to the scheme, rather than the scheme to the material .... I just didn't fit this 1 year ...." And the pro draft goes on.
