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 on a combined basketball-baseball -Daily-Eric Pergeaux RICHARD "BIRD" CARTER reaches up for the ball in Mon- day night's 93-85 opening game victory over Northern Illinois. Carter, a junior college trans- fer students, is expected to add a lot to the Wolverine attack this year as he did Monday night by scoring 12 points. Other newscomers who will play a lot for the Wolverine varsity are starting sophomore guard Dan Fife and startingrsoph- omore forward Rod Ford.

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 Richard M.
