TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, x967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Student Ticket Prices Slashed Basketball Tickets Cut Fift Cents By JOEL BLOCK Student ticket prices for bas- ketball, hockey and swimming' were cut in half by the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athlet- ics in a meeting held last Friday night. Athletic Director H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler told The Daily yesterday that students and staff members could buy season tickets for bas- ketball for 50 cents a game or in- dividual game tickets at the usual one dollar price. Hockey. and swimming tickets will be sold for 50 cents apiece on a game-by-game basis. Crisler gave the board's reasons for the price cut. "We want the students to have the full advan- tage of the new University Events Building. We plan to have the building ready for this year's bas- ketball season which means there will be 7,000 more basketball seats than last year." Reserved Seats All 14,000 theatre seats in the arena will be sold on a reserve basis for both season and in- dividual tickets. The board has not developed specific plans on how to distribute the reserve tick- ets or whether or not they will be given out on a priority basis as is done in football. Another ,reason for the ticket price cuts is this year's raise kn tuition. "The board feels that the increase in student fees was just another monkey on the student's back," said Crisler. "We are ;going to try to re- lieve some of the financial burden on students with price cuts in hockey and swimming in addi- tion to the one in basketball tick- ets." The general public will pay $24 for a season ticket covering the 12-game home basketball schedule and two dollars for individual game tickets. General admission for hockey games and swimming meets will be $1.50 and reserved hockey tick- ets will sell for Cuts May Not Come There is a possibility that the price cuts may not come about for another year. The recent wave of strikes against the University has brought work on the new Events Building to a standstill. "This latest strike has thrown our timetable all off," Crisler stat- ed. "The picket lines have prevent- ed any of the tradesmen from working on the structure. Even if the pickets leave tomorrow, the contractor will have a hard time in getting all the workers back on the job." Without the Events Building, there will be no season tickets, and without season tickets, there will be no price cuts. In Crisler's words, "We can't possibly handle all the students on a season ticket basis in Yost Field House." * * * * * * FRATERNITY Twins Rally, Rip Senators, 13-5 By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Minne- sota Twins spotted Washington five unearned runs in the first inning yesterday, then stormed back with a 15-hit attack led by Bob Allisonandrtrampled the Senators 13-5, protecting their slim American League lead. j The Twins' third straight vic- tory sent them one game ahead of the second place Boston Red Sox.

[ofich Has l'Hih Hopes' By The Associated Press DETROIT-Mickey Lolich says it's a whole new world to be fight- ing in the tightest American League pennant race ever, but he likes it. The Detroit Tiger pitcher, now 10-12 after a horrible 16-game losing streak, has won five straight and thinks the Tigers have as good a chance as anyone, despite being 1%/2 games out yesterday. "We're still within striking dis- tance," he pointed out. "Sure, the team feels the pres- sure, but it's made a better club out of the guys. The play has im- proved. We're making better de- fensive plays. The pitchers are throwing more carefully. Petty differnces are ?????," the chubby left-hander said. Lolich was 5-2 when he hit a sour spell and ran his record to But during the losing streak, I was pitching pretty good base- ball," he said. "I was throwing in tough luck. We were shut out three times and got only 18 runs in those 10 games. "I'm not throwing any different- ly now, we're just getting runs." With five straight victories under his belt, Lolich said, "My confidence has gotten built up.1 Having confidence makes me a better pitcher, It's hard to de- scribe, but I'm pitching better without throwing any differ- ently." The likeable 27-year-old Lolich will' pitch against the Baltimore Orioles here tomorrow in a game transferred from Baltimore. i YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Minnesota 13, Washington 5 Baltimore 6, Chicago 1 Only games scheduled TODAY'S GAMES Cleveland at Chicago (2, t-n) Minnesota at Washington (n) Baltimore at Detroit (n) California at New York (2, t-n) Kansas City at Boston (n) NATIONAL LEAGUE SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: ANDY BARBAS ----- - - - - - WELCOME STUDENTS! 0 DISTINCTIVE COLLEGIATE HAIRSTYLING for Men- And Women- OPEN 6 DAYS THE DASCOLA BARBERS Near Michigan Theatre I I St. Louis, x-San Francisco Cincinnati Chicago Philadelphia Atlanta Pittsburgh x-Los Angeles Houston New York w 90 78 79 79 74 72 72 65 54 54 L 55 65 66 69 68 71 73 77 88 89 Pct.
