PHILADELPHIA (A') ---Jerry
Wolman, financially t r o u b I e dl
owner of the Philadelphia Eagles,
said yesterday he has agreed toi
sell the National Football League
team, reportedly to a Norristown,
Pa., trucking executive, on a con-x
ditional basis.
"I want it understood the con-
tract is strictly conditional andI
not worth the paper it's written
on if I pay off my creditors,"j
Wolman said of the reported con-
tract with Leonard Tose.
Although Wolman confirmed
from his Silver Spring, Md., home
that he had signed a conditional
sale contract in excess of $15 mil-
lion, he declined to- confirm that.
Tose was the purchaser.
Tose was not immediately avail-
able for comment.
"The guy I'm selling to is a real
fine gentleman and would be an
asset to the citya ofuPhiladelphia,"
Wolman said. "I'm sure he will beI
acceptable to the National Foot-
ball League owners."
Wolman, who owes about $35
million to creditors, had to come
up with a contingent buyer under
an agreement filed before Joseph
0. Kaiser, a federal bankruptcy
referee in Baltimore.
The principal creditors are the
Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. of
New York, whom Wolman owes;
about $2.5 milion.
Wolman stressed that if he can

pay off his creditors, he will
have to proceed with the sale.

STEVE HOWELL (12) AND DAVE SORENSON (15) will lead the
Ohio State Buckeyes into Ann Arbor today for a key test with
Michigan at the Events Building. Sorenson is currently number
four in the conference scoring race with a 22.5 average while the

muscular Howell is in the fourteenth spot with a 17.5 mark. Both
players were starters for coach Fred Taylor on last year's Big
Ten champs and are the two men that the Wolverines must stop
if they are to pull out a victory today.

Taylor will start Captain Den-
nis Meadors and Jody Finney on
the backcourt positions. Top
sophomore Jim Cleamons will
start at the other forward posi-
tion.
Four of today's starters w e r e
regulars on the team that last
year came back from a second
place when top-ranked Iowa lost
to Michigan in the final game of
the season. In a play-off game
Ohio State edged the Hawkeyes
85-81.

r What's that?
Hate State.
Hate State.
Hate State.
And if you don't know WHICH State we mean by now, where
have you been, buster?
The Buckeyes are back in town.
If emotion has anything to do with success in basketball, the
Wolverines ought to do OK today because right now they should
be green with rage at their Columbus cousins.
The most recent flare-up of this eternal confrontation began
last year with the'Michigan cagers' visit to St. John's Arena. In that
contest, the Wolverines played almost as well as they did last Satur-
day night at Minnesota. Naturally, Michigan was . chased right off
the court in the first half and just went through the motions in the
second period.
The. return match in Ann Arbor was something else again.
Under a barrage of about a million fouls, the referees were the
deciding factor as they handed OSU a tight decision in a game
nobody in this town will ever forget.
After receiving such gentle treatment from their Ohio friends,
Michigan was nice enough to do the Buckeyes a favor as they upset
Iowa at Iowa City to give OSU a tie for the Big Ten Championship.
The next major meeting was on the football field. The date
was November 23, 1968. One genuine Rose Bowl trip went out the
window.
Surely Michigan does not feel it has gotten an even break out
of all..this. Victories in wrestling, swimming or gymnastics don't seem
to give any satisfaction since OSU has very little in these sports and
cares even less.
Maybe the basketball team will be able to do the trick. As usual,
it all depends on whether the supercharged offense can overcome a
super-porous defense. In other words, are the Wolverines capable
of standing up to impending onslaught without flinching.
The pressure for getting back at these mental midgets is quickly
increasing, and a full house today will not be content until the scum
. is ground into the dust.
?Under these circumstances, if the Wolverines get a sizeable
lead they would be advised to go for the two point conversion.

DETROIT (R') - The Detroit
Pistons spurted away from the
Milwaukee Bucks in the final 16
minutes last night to gaina 123-1
108 victory in a National Basket-
ball Association game.
After the expansion Bucks had
seized a 79-78 lead in the third
period on the shooting of Jon
McGlocklin and Len Chappell, the
Pistons rolled in seven straight
points on two baskets by Happy
Hairston, a layup by Jimmy Walk-
er and a free throw by Eddie-Miles
to take the lead for keeps.
Hairston led the Pistons with
27 points and 21 rebounds while
Miles hit for 23 points. Flynn
Robinson had 23 points, McClock-
lin 22 and Wayne Embry 21 for
the losers.

the bench and scored three key
baskets last night in helping the
Boston Celtics to a 102-99 Na-
tional Basketball Association vic-
tory over the San Francisco War-
riors.
The Warriors closed to within
one point, 98-97, with five seconds
left, but Emmette Bryant made
good on two free throws. Jeff
Mullins then went in for a layup
before John Havlicek cashed two
from the free throw line to run
out the triumph.
