The Badgers took a 36-35 lead
on Chuck Nagle's two free throws
with slightly more than two min-
utes gone in the second half and
were never headed.
Kansas battled back from a
O nine-point deficit and pulled to
within two points, 62-60, on a
basket by Bruce Sloan.
But Sloan missed a free throw

A second sophomore to compli-
ment the new team effort is Rod
Ford, a 6'4" forward from Ham-
mond, Indiana. In last night's
game he poured in 16 points and
gathered in nine rebounds, placing
him second on the team in both
categories for the game.
Ford led the team scoring as a
freshman with an average of 21
points per game and was noted for
his rebounding skill.
The third newcomer to the
Michigan lineup is junior transfer
Rich Carter. A 6'1" guard, Carter
transfered from Fort Dodge Junior
College in Iowa, where he aver-
aged 21 points and 11 rebounds
in his second year.
Nicknamed "Bird" because of
his weight and elasticity as a jum-
per, Carter is a versatile player in
both the front and back court and
has great quickness.
NORTHWESTERN PRODUCT
Carter is a product of North-
western High School in Detroit
where he played for Snowden.
Snowden was the deciding factor
in directing Carter's transfer.
As Snowden explained it, "Car-
ter visited several other schools
before he decided on Michigan-
schools such as Northern Illinois,
and the University of Iowa.
"He thought about coming here
last summer when we got to-
gether to talk about his future
plans.
"When he heard I was coming
to Michigan he decided he wanted
to come here also."
Tim Nicksic, 6'5", Tom Lund-
stedt, 6'4", and Mike Rafferty,
6'4" all forwards, are three more
sophomores with accomplished
ability.
Lundstedt and Rafferty were
also standouts on the freshman
baseball squad, although Lund-
stedt has not been playing at full
strength yet, due to an injury in-
curred during fall baseball prac-
tice.
Commenting on the new person-
al, Snowden remarked," Monday
night's game proved that the soph-
omores have adjusted quickly and
can perform well under duress."
He went on to add, "the soph-
omores have added the depth we
must have to be a contender. Fife,
Ford, Carter4, Lundstedt, Nicksic-
theyall can give the balance
needed to be a solid club."
DAN FIFE
strong additions to the team this
year-most notably 6'2" guard
Dan Fife.
A standout both offensively and
defensively against Northern Il-
linois, Fife scored nine points and
made two rebounds. As a fresh-
man he was one of the two team
scoring leaders with an average
of 20.3 points per game.
Head coach John Orr spoke
highly of Fife's performance in
the 93-85 romp over the Huskies:
"I though he played a terrific
game, especially in handling their
guards. He told me before the
game he was tight, but he got
over his nervousness quickly."
An all-around athlete, Fife is

SAN FRANCISCO (A) - N i n e
players, including shortstop Zoilo
Versalles, third baseman D e r o n
0 Johnson and pitcher Dave Giusti,
changed hands yesterday in four
trades.
The biggest trade in numbers
and the most unusual took place
between National League champ-\,
ion St. Louis and the new San
Diego clubs as the Cards reacquir-
ed Giusti in exchange for f o u r
players.
Giusti was first acquired by St.
Louis in a trade with Houston just
after the past season but was
taken off the Cardinal roster by
the Padros in the expansion draft.
In the trade that returned him
to St. Louis, the Cards parted with
Ron Davis, who platooned with
Roger Maris in right field last
year, utility infielder-outfielder
Ed Spiezio and two minor leaguers
--pitcher Phil Knuckles and
catcher Danny Breeden.
The Cardinals also were invol-
ved in an even player exchange
with Boston, again acquiring a
pitcher, Gary Waslewski, whil
sending utility infielder Dic
Schofield to the Red Sox.
But the biggest trade in names
involved Versalles and Johnson,
two players who were on top o1
the baseball world three years ago.
Versalles moved to Cleveland and
Johnson to Philadelphia.
Versalles, who won the M o s t
Valuable Player Award in th
American League for leading
Minnesota to the pennant in 1965
was acquired by the Indians from
San Diego as part of a deal in
which Cleveland sent first base.
man Bill Davis to the Padres.
The Indians also will have to
deliver another player to the ex-
pansion club later to complete the
transaction.
Johnson, who was the Nationa
Senators sold for $9 million
WASHINGTON (A') - T h e
Washington Senators Baseball
Club was sold yesterday to Robert
E. Short, Democratic Party na-
tional treasurer.
Short, former owner of the Los
Angeles Lakers of the National
Basketball Association paid a re-
ported $9 million for the baseball
team, which will remain in the
nation's capital.
Owners rejected a rival offer
by comedian Bob Hope for the
last-place American League club.
Frost confirmed reports of the
sale were "substantially correct."
Short, 50, is a Minneapolis ho-
tel and' trucking executive. He
handled the fund-raising to fin-
ance Hubert H. Humphrey's vice
presidential campaign.
James H. Lemon, Washington
investment banker, put the club
up for sale at the end of the sea-
son.
The sale had been expected last
week but was delayed by a ninth-
inning offer from Hope.
Frost confirmed the Hope bid
was turned down yesterday.
The present owners will keep
the $1.05 million paid to the Sena-
tors for players drafted in t he
American League expansion next
year. Short will pay roughly $9
million for the club, giving the
present owners about $10 million
from the sale.
The sale will need court ap-
proval, since half the stock is held
by the estate of James Johnston
Lemon's investment partner wh
died last year. But the court okay
is expected to be routine.
In Washington, the Senators
play baseball's annual presidentia
opener and will be host next year
to the All-Star game.
Ironically, the man due t
throw out the first ball of Demo-
crat Short's first season will be

tial victor over Democratic nom-
