Indiana
By MORT NOVECK -
Unless something very strange
happens, like the water in the
University of Wisconsin pool mys-
teriously turning into lime Jello,
Indiana will swim away with an
unprecedented ninth straight Big
Ten title in this weekend's con-
ference championship meet.
The three-day, 18-event meet;
opens today with the Hoosiers all
but certain to take the title,
breaking Ohio State's record of'
eight straight conference cham-
pionships. sible e
Michigan, expected to finish can c

diana in the diving events. They
finished first and second in the
1-meter event last year and sec-
ond and third in the 3-meter. It
is expected that they will do at
least as well this year.
CANADIAN OLYMPIAN Ron
Jacks could prove to be a strong
threat in the butterfly events this
year. He was a member of the
winning 400-medley relaynteam
last year and wil swim in this
event again.
's Indiana will also dominate the
s long freestyle races. Fred South-
ward, the .defending champion in
t both the 500-yard freestyle and
r the 1650 freestyle is expected to
e repeat his victories.
is Michigan, however, should take
e its share of firsts in the meet.
k, Juan Bello, defending champion
y in both the 200-yard freestyle and
g the 100-yard butterfly, could re-
peat in both if he enters them.
d If Bello is entered, the Wol-
verines should do well in the but-
terfly. In last year's meet Lee
Bisbee took second in both the 100
and 200-yard races while Tom
Arusoo took third in the 200.
RELAYS ARE another strong
Michigan event. The Wolverines
took both the 400 and 800-yard
freestyle relays last year. Their
chances of repeating this year are
dependant on who is entered in
them. Individuals cannot compete
in more than five events, so if
some of Michigan's stronger swim-
mers are needed elsewhere the
relay teams could be hurt.
Competition for Indiana's South-
ward in the long races could come
from Wolverines Gary Kinkead
and Mike O'Connor. Kinkead is
also the defending champion in
the 400 individual medley.
Michigan State is expected to
repeat in the third spot this year.
State has a strong freestyler in
Don Rauch, who finished second
to Juan Bello in the 200. Mike
Kalmbach should also gain points
for the Spartans in the freestyle
as will Van Pelt Rockefeller in
the butterfly.
WISCONSIN IS picked to fin-
ish fourth again. The Badgers
have a strong freestyler in Fred
Hogan, who finished second in the
50 and 100 last year. Hogan can
n also swim the 200 and according
- to Stager is capable of beating
g. Bello in this event. Backstroker'
Dan Schwerin should also swim
t well for Wisconsin.
' Ohio State should repeat in
s fifth. The strongest Buckeye per-
d formances will come from back-
stroker John Hulme and freestyler
- Lonnie Harrison.
g Illinois and Purdue are not ex-
pected to do well as teams, but
each has a good swimmer. Illinois'
Kip Pope won both the 100 and
us 200-yard breaststroke races last
year and should retain his titles.
y Purdue's Dan Milne also won two
events, the 50 and 100 yard free-
e styles, and like Pope, should re-
m peat.
Though Stager doesn't expect
d Michigan to win this weekend, he
ie does expect the Wolverines to do
well. "Every man we enter will
score points and, with one pos-
n sible exception, we will score points
in all the events."

phy of Niagara. These five com-
pletely dominated the voting by
339 sports writers and broadcast-
ers throughout the nation.
Charlie Scott of North Carolina
headed the AP's second team.
Jo-Jo White of Kansas. M i k e
Maloy of Davidson. Bob Lanier of
St. Bonaventure and Dan Issel of

Jack Vermeire of the Stillwater,
Okla. News-Press and Robert E.
Johnson of the Iola, Kan. Register

dor. Vermeire commented, "Alcin-
dor was not named because of
snubbing the Olympics. A no-no
for a player of his stature."
Maravich, a 6-foot-5 junior
famed as Pistol Pete for his shoot-
ing that made him the nation's
top scorer, was another repeater
from the 1967 All-American team.
He garnered 303 firsts and 22 se-
conds for 1,559 points.
Haywood, a 6-812 sophomore
who led the United States team to

highest in the voting with 1,288.
He had 222 firsts and 89 seconds.

Murphy, a 5-10 junior, by one
point in the voting. Mount had
1,132 points on 182 firsts and 111
seconds. Murphy had 1,131 on
159 firsts and 168 seconds.

with Haywood on the U.S. Olym-
pic team, topped the second team
with 913 points on 151 firsts and
79 seconds. White, whose eligibil-
ity ended on Feb. 1, was the only

firsts. Walk headed the third team
with 259 points, including 21

0 WEST PALM BEACH-Legendary LeRoy "Satchel" Paige ha
finally qualified for a baseball pension.
The ancient pitcher, who allegedly was born in 1906, is alread3
eligible to start drawing benefits at the age of 63.
Paige became eligible for the pension now because of a chang
in requirements that cut minimum length of big league service from
A five to four years.
The Atlanta Braves hired Paige as a pitcher last summer ant
then made him a coach so he could qualify for a pension. Under th
former five-year minimum, he would have become eligible next Aug. 1
The Braves now list Paige-first Negro pitcher in the America]
League-as an assistant trainer.

By The Associated Press
Baseball's spring training camps
were expected to begin resembling
major league installations today
in the wake of the settlement of
I the nagging pension dispute be-
tween the owners and players As-
sociation.
Veteran players who had re-I
fused to sign contarcts or reportE
to camp while the pension issue
was being negotiated, had the
green light to play ball from Mar-
vin Miller, executive director ofr
the Players Association.#
The Boston Red Sox signed
their big man - outfielder C a r 1
Yastrzemski - yesterday to a two-
year contract for what they be-
lieve to be the highest salary inI
the American League.
But General Manager Jira Camp-
bell of the world champion Detroit
Tigers had the busiest day. He
signed nine veterans.
Only six Detroit Tigers remain-

ed unsigned yesterday as base-
ball's defending world champions
got down to the business of shap-
ing up for the coming session.
Meanwhile, 10 veterans ap-
peared in spring training for the
first time following settlement of
the owner-player dispute two days
ago.
Still unsigned and, therefore,
not permitted to work out with
the team at Merchant Stadium,
rwere oufielders Willie Horton and
Al Kaline; catcher Jim Price; first
baseman Norm Cash, and pitchers
Elroy Face and Don McMahon.
New arrivals turning out for the
workout were pitchers Joe Spar-
ma. John Hiller, John Wyatt, Earl
Wilson and Fred Lasher; infield-
ers Dick McAuliffe, Dick Tracew-
ski and Don Wert; catcher B i ll
Freehan, and outfielder M i c k e y
Stanley.
Pitchers Pat Dobson and Denny-

McLain, infielder Tom Matchick
and outfielder Gates Brown have
agreed to terms but have not re-
ported.
Officials of the National League'
champion St. Louis Cardinals
were not as successful. Vada Pin-
son was the second regular player
signed yesterday by the Cardinals.
Catcher Tim McCarver was the
first regular to sign.
The Cards announced 16 of 38
roster players had not signed.
Meanwhile, in Miami forty-one
members of an expected spring
squad of 49 Baltimore Orioles were
present as outfielders and infield-
ers joined pitchers and catchers
for a three-hour workout.
The team in the most trouble so
far as satisfied players is concern-
d seemed to be the Minnesota
Twins. President Calvin Griffith
admitted that he had signed only
23 of the 42-man squad.
The New York Yankees a n d
New York Mets each signed their
two leading pitchers. The Yanks
brought right-hander Mel Stottle-
myra and southpaw Fritz Peterson
into the fold.{

Tom Seaver and lefty Jerry Koos-
man for substantial raises.
