i Thursday, April 4, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Thursday, April 4, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine U Track WASHINGTON (P) - The na- tion's colleges, threatening to car- ry their track war to the courts, asked yesterday for a Justice De- , partment antitrust investigation of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) after turning down a Sen- ate-backed proposal for peace. Both the U.S. Track and F'ield Federation (USTFF) and its af- filiate, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), pledged, however, they would try to keep their bitter battle with the AAU for control of amateur ath- letics from imperiling the make- up of America's Olympic team. Three senators suggested that a settlement be written into law to end the long feud before the Oc- 4 tober games in Mexico City. Prof. Marcus L. Plant of the law school, president of the NCAA, all but conceded the dispute would have to be resolved in either the courts or Congress and said he had little hope for a voluntary Sagreement with the AAU. The USTFF president, the Rev. Wilfred H. Crowley, disclosed he has written Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark to ask for an antitrust in- vestigatiori of the AAU and vowed, "If we cannot get satisfaction there we will go to court." Asked how long he was willing to wait, Father Crowley said, "Oh, I guess he (Clark) is a busy man -maybe a week or so. USTFF attorney Philip Brown said, however, he didn't expect Tigers' Lolich Defeats Astros COCOA, Fla (R)-Mitckey Stan- ley's three-run homer in the third yesterday brought Detroit a 3-1 * exhibition victory over Houston. Mickey Lolich and Dennis Ribant combined to five-hit the Astros. Ribant. was trying to put the finishing touches on a shutout when he served up a home run ball to Jim Wynn to open the ninth. 1 He retired the next three men to wrap up the game. The difference was Stanley's 380-foot blow off Larry Dierker. It folowed singles by Ray Oyler and Tom Matchick. Feud MARCUS PLANT court action to come that quickly. Brown said he would seek to set up a meeting with the Justice Depart- ment. 1 Spokesmen for the attorney gen- eral said Father Crowley's letter hadn't been received and declined comment. In Maumee, Ohio, where he is attending the AAU boxing cham- pionships, Col. Donald Hull, exe- cutive director of the AAU, termed the anti-trust threat "ridiculous." He said, "I don't know much about the anti-trust act. I'm just a sportsman. I thought the anti- trust act was just for business- men. I don't see how it deals with a non-profit group trying to help the young athletes of America. "There is no monopoly in this country in the sports game. The AAU is open to everyone. I sure wish Mr. Clark would tell them to go ahead and spend their money. If they'd spend it on sports, we'd all be better off." TPe settlement recommended! by an arbitration panel set up, by the Senate and appointed by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey gave the lion's share of the com- promise to the AAU. It would have allowed the NCAA to con-! tinue student meets, but required the USTFF to meet AAU require- ments in itscompetition. The AAU accepted the settle- ment in February, but Father Crowley rejected the proposal, arguing that it would continue what he called an AAU monopoly over amateur athletics. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, (D-' Wash), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said his group would act quickly to start writing an enforced settlement into' law. "We'll take the board's recom- mendation and build around it a piece of legislation," Magnuson said. Two other bills -already are ,pending and Plant indicated the NCAA could live with either one of them, but not with the Mag- nuson proposal. One measure, by Sen. James B. Pearson (R-Kan.), would set up a new super group to oversee ama- teur athletics. Father Crowley said this parallels the USTFF goal, al- though he wants minor changes in the Pearson bill. The other proposal, by Sen. Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich.), for- bids stripping anyx athlete of eli- gibility for competing in a rival EXHIBITION BASEBALL National League Move organization's meet. It would em- power an athlete to go to court for an injunction if necessary. Sen. Griffin said: "It is unfor- tunate that this senseless war is continuing. It is time for Con- gress to move rapidly to make sure that the individual athlete will no longer be caught in the middle." Sen. Pearson added, "We can no1 longer jeopardize amateur athlet- ics in the United States because! of a power struggle between heads of competing organizations." Plant called the Griffin propos- al acceptable and said the NCAA would fight vigorously against1 any effort by Magnuson to con- vert the arbitration recommenda-1 tions to law. Father Crowley said Magnuson1 "has reacted in anger and made some ill-informed remarks - not1 for, the first time." The Los Altos, Calif., priest blamed the Senate Commerce Comimittee for the continuing' war, saying it had failed to con- sult the USTFF in setting up the arbitration panel in 1965. In New York, labor mediator Theodore Kheel, who headed the board, said he was "surprised, if not shocked," by the rejection. Hull added, "If the NCAA doesn't implement the board's ruling, I don't see how they can' keep athletes from losing their leigibility for national competi- tion and even the Olympic Games." Father Crowley said the USTFF would continue sponsoring meets, but said he didn't anticipate par- ticipation by any outside athletes whose presence mightscause the AAU to renew threats to take away the eligibility of others com- peting. Plant said, "I don't think there is any event, coming up between now and Nov. 1 that would bring this into issue." When the moratorium expires, however, on that date three days after the Olympic Games, Father Crowley said the USTFF would resume sanctions on meets. He threatened to keep college ath- letes out of AAU competition if no settlement has been reached. "If they don't follow our rules, they aren't going to have our: athletes," he said. He said the USTFF, with the NCAA as its largest member, in- cludes 90 per cent of the nation's amateur athletes. He argued that, the AAU had no right to monop! oly over the meets in which they compete. In his letter to Clark, Father Crowley asked him "to investigate! violations of the Sherman Anti- trust Laws on the part o f the Amateur Athletic Unionby mon- opolistic rules and practices un- duly restricting track and field competition in the United States." Brown said AAU denial of eligi- biilty to five Iowa high school girls who had competed in a USTFF meet could be made a test case in the courts. The USTFF already has voted to reject the arbitration panel's findings and the NCAA Council will meet in Denver, Colo., later this month. Plant said he would recommend formal rejection and gave every indication he expects his recommendation to be fol- lowed. !i I *1' ing rising r arkets. basis rience. ilesmen ISSMAN, U * * * * * NBA Holds Eardy Draft. Toward NEW YORK (P) - With All- American Elvin Hayes safely tucked away, the National Bas- ketball Association announced its first-round draft picks yesterday and determinedly set out to beat the American Basketball Associa- tion to Westley Unseld and a host of lesser-known players. The San Diego Rockets, who had first choice in the draft, se- lected Hayes last week and signed him, reportedly to a four-year contract worth $440,000. The player of the year from the Uni- versity of Houston also was sought by the Houston Mavericks of the their picks Monday on a telephone hookup and the league disclosed the selections yesterday, The Baltimore Bullets, who lost a coin flip to San Diego for the No. 1 pick, chose Unseld, two-time All-American from Louisville. "'We're going to leave no stone unturned to sign Unseld to an NBA contract," General Manager Buddy Jeannette said. "Our own- ers have pledged themselves to bring Unseld to Baltimore in a Bullets' uniform." Meanwhile, the Kentucky Col- onels of the ABA offered the 6-' ABA.' foot-8 star a four-year The other NBA teams made! worth $500,000.

"Her potential is unlimited-she can become another Sonja Henie," said Bob Banner, West Coast television producer who joined with the National Broadcasting Co. in tying up the world's figure skating queen to what they called a long-term agreement. ** * 0 BOSTON-Tony Conigliaro of the Red Sox suffered minor injuries early today in a two-car collision only hours after re- turning to Boston from spring training to undergo eye tests. The accident occurred in the nearby suburb of Somerville and the young outfielder was taken to the city hospital for treat- ment of bruises. He was released a short time later, a hospital spokesman said. * * * !0 DETROIT-Joe Louis, former world heavyweight boxing champion, said Tuesday that the elimination tournament to determine a successor to dethroned champion Cassius Clay "is ridiculous." "As far as I'm concerned, Clay is still champion, at least until he goes to jail or retires," he said. "I think he made an awful mistake by not going into the Army. He threw away a brilliant career." * * * *0MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Larry Costello, a wily veteran of 11 professional seasons, was named head coach of the new Mil- waukee entry in the National Basketball Association Wednesday. John Erickson, coach at the University of Wisconsin for the past nine was named general manager. The Milwaukee entry-still unnamed-will begin play next fall. Costello, forced to step down as a player with Philadelphia because of a torn achilles tendon, said he will remain with the 76ers as an assistant coach through the NBA playoffs. He said there was a possibility he would be a player-coach with Milwaukee. Just what kind of contracts might be offered other No. 1 choices was not known, but most of the other first-round players lack the glamor that has built up around the names of Hayes and Unseld. Seattle was third in the draft and selected 6-8 Bob Kauffman of Guilford. Chicago followed with 7-foot Tom Boerwinkle of Ten- nessee, Cincinnati with 6-8 Donj Smith of Iowa State and Detroit with 6-11 Otto Moore of Pan American. The two new teams selected next. Milwaukee took 6-8 Charles Paulk of Northeastern Oklahoma and Phoenix grabbed 6-7 Gary !Gregor of South Carolina. San Francisco selected 6-3 Ron Williams of West Virginia; New York, 6-8 Bill Hosket of Ohio State; Los Angeles, 6-6 Bill Hew- itt of Southern California; Bos- ton, 6-5 Don Chaney of Houston; St. Louis, 6-1 Skip Harlicka of South Carolina, and Philadelohia, 6-5 Shaler Halimon of Utah State. The Lakers immediately an- nounced they had signed Hewitt! to a three-year contract but would not divulge terms. Hewitt said he had been quite close to signing with Denver of the ABA. There also was a report Tuesday that Kauffman, a Little All- American, already was signed by Seattle. In Minneapolis, meanwhile, ABA commissioner George Mikan said the NBA's telephonic draft was more or less a declaration of war. "This puts us in a terrible spot." Mikan said. "I guess we have to, enter into the unholy war cif go- ing after these ballplayers. What about their pledge to allow these ballplayers to play in the Olym- pics? "They're going out and signing: all these fellows. Now we'll have to go ahead and try to sign them."
