THE MICHIGAN DAILY Olympic Leader Tokyo Favorite Wolverine Baseball Team Faces Notre Dame Today She means so much to you! Tell her so on her special day SUNDAY, MAY 10 with don't want to pay the heavy ex- penses to send their teams to Japan. European nations are still recovering from losses spent on their trips to Melbourne in 1956. Detroit's delegation, which lists Roby as one of its leaders, will of- fer to help subsidize the visiting teams' food and housing bills, if Detroit is selected. Detroit To Subsidize "I think Detroit will ask for only seven dollars per person," speculated Roby. "The actual cost would run about 12-15 dollars." Roby said Detroit's biggest drawback is -recent reports that many South Amreican representa- tives will ngt attend the Munich meeting. "I think we woul1 have had most of their votes," he continued. Americans May Oppose Actually, Detroit may not even get the other two American votes. Garland, a native of Los An- geles, has expressed himself be- ing against Detroit because he wants his city to get the 1968 Games. Brundage, who is also the IOC president, is known to vote impartially on such matters. "Detroit can be sure of my vote," declared Roby. "I've been trying to get the Games there for '20 years." His first attempt was in 1939 when he went to London to bid for the 1944 Games. However, the war interrupted all plans. Knows Detroit's Opposition Roby admits he knows what De- troit is up against in its hopes for 1964; he toured Tokyo last May with 31 other IOC members., "Tokyo did a terrific job of sell- ing," he said, "from =the Emperor on down the ranks. "They have wonderful facilities, many of them built for last year's. Asian Games. They have a sta- dium that will be increased to seat 110,000." Detroit is backed by a Congres- I sional resolution, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams, and the city government.

Lund has named sophomore lefthander Joe Brefeld to do the pitching today. He plans to save frontliners Al Koch, Nick Liakonis and Bob Marcereau for the Friday game with Indiana and the Sat- urday double bill at Ohio State. Brefeld will be makin his first start since being hit hard on the southern trip during spring vaca- tion. He will be facing a strong Notre Dame team. The Irish have a fine spring record and already hold two wins over Indiana, Michi- gan's next opponent. Split Last Year Last year the two teams split in two games, the Wolverines winning here and the Irish at South Bend. Both of last year's games were slugfests. In the game here Wolverine hit- ters pounded out 11 hits and got numerous walks in a 13-7 triumph. At South Bend the Irish reversed' the story as they slaughtered six "M" pitchers in their 18-11 win: Hitters' Duel Today contest figures to be an- other hitters' battle. Lund's forces have found hits in their bats of late while Notre Dame is also noted for its powerful hitting. In games played this spring they have piled up winning scores of 14-1, 11-7, 9-2, and 12-5. Lund's squad, although not over- powering with the bat, did get 33 hits. in last weekend's three- game series with Michigan State. While today's game is not as important as a Conference game, it should give the "M" nine the tuneup they need for the heavy Big Ten slate this weekend. NCAA Hits'. Cincinnati, NEW ORLEANS (R) - Work- and-learn education and money help to athletes combined yester- day to dip the University of Cin- cinnati into hot water with the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation. The powerful 18-man NCAA advisory council also slapped a one-year probation on Gustavus Adolphiis of St. Peter, Minn., for playing in a non-certified post- season football game last year. Walt Byers, Executive Director of- the NCAA, explained the Cin- cinnati probation will not keep its athletic teams out'of post-season events or NCAA championships. ** i 1' 1 NIL, MOTHER'S DAY CARDS "When you care enough to send the veer best" BOCE' PHOTO 723 N. University NO 3-4514 "It's just the way the ball bounces" is the cliche Don Lund used to describe the plight of his former teammates, the Detroit Tigers. Now in his first year as Michi- gan's head baseball coach, Lund had words of sympathy for the cellar-dwelling Bengals, who have won just two of their first 14 games. Over a 12-year period, Lund had been an outfielder, scout and coach in the Detroit organization before returning to his alma mater last winter. "Things just haven't jelled for Bill Norman, but with all the potential of the club, I am sure it will start winning plenty of ball games soon," said Lund, However, Detroiters are not as patient as Lund and haven't been anywhere near as sympathetic. Disgusted with the miserable showing of the home team, fans and sportswriters alike, have been tagging the Tigers since opening day. No one in the Detroit organiza- tion has escaped the wrath of an- gry Detroiters, who haven't seen a real pennant contender since 1950 despite the yearly promises and changes made by the club. Supporting the Bengals Lund said, "None of the recent hot- headed changes suggested would help the club. It is just having a bad slump, something that hap- pens to every ball club during a season." "I am sure the front office is doing all it can and that the players are giving- their all. After all, no one likes to lose. In fact with all the tension building up about the losing streak,. the play- ers are probably trying twice as hard, and it is having a reverse effect." "The Tigers have a good team, good enough to win over half of their games-they showed that in Florida. They are bound to break out soon and after all, there are still 140 games remaining."

MAY IS BIG MONTH: Meetings To DecideImports'_Fate ath- getting its legislation passed be- fore this year's Pan American Games and the 1960 Olympic Games, when recruiting is ex- pected to be at a higher peak than ever. Expects Lively Discussion Doug Roby, of Ypsilanti, ex- pects the IOC to reach a "lively point of discussion" on the mat- ter. He said that the problem is projected because "according to Olympic rules, Americans are pro- fessionalizing the foreign ath- letes." lHe pointed to scholarships - the big drawing card of the im- ports originally - as the major fault. "IOC rules say that the athlete is entitled only to 'travel and keep' while he is en route, or at, a meet," declared Roby, "Thus, even the Big Ten program is not in bounds with the rules." Want Free Education Most athletes are drawn to America because they want a free education along with better coach- ing, facilities and competition. The United States is the only !country in the world that gives athletic scholarships. Kenneth L. Wilson, President of the American Olympic Commit- tee and Big Ten Commissioner, added that the IOC would prob- ably just bar imports who received athletic scholarships. The possible NCAA legislation, mainly concerned with foreign domination of American cham- pionships, will take place next week when the governing Council of the organization meets. Wilson reported: "They (the NCAA) will con- sider suggested legislation that any foreign athlete must be in residence in the United States for three years before he is allowed to compete. "It is further suggested that because of the proximity of Ca- nada and Mexico, where there is a normal exchange of students, NEED A CAR IN HURRY? L. k ..... J!. Y , S r ti $ e ".. k. 5 § .
