April 1, 1969" Tuesday, THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven annit sells r to An Arbor realtors Gambling debts cause loss of Wines Field By A. RED SEAGULL A Daily investigation revealed yesterday than Don Can- nit, Michigan's Athletic Dire'ctor, is in the process of sub- dividing Wines Field and selling the lots to local Ann Arbor realtors. Cannit will use the proceeds from the sale, to be complet- ed later this month, to pay off betting debts he incurred from , last year's Michigan-Ohio State football game. Cannit had placed a large bet with a local Detoit bookie, known to be Bumblage resigns amid cheers 'connected with the Mafia, taking Michigan and 35 points. lie had planned to use the payoff from the aet to bolster Michigan's deminish- ing athletic tender fund, but' when the Wolverines lost 50 - 14, 4nd a mediocre bas- ketball team f a i1e d to bring an increase in expect- ed revenues, Cannt was Mforc- ed to resort to other means to finance his gambling venture. When contacted. last night, Can- nit dlenied that the sale of Wines, which has been a source of con- trpversy ever since he took over the job as athletic director o n e year ago, had any political over- tones. "It was sa purely financial de- cision," Cannit' commented last night, "I investigated the possi- bility of leasing the football sta- dium to the League of Women Voters or selling the dome on the Events Buildings to a group con- .cerned with the new Detroit sta- dium, and even of filling the IM pool with draft beer for an IFC beer blast. But none of these al- ternatives were satisfectory." Cannit, however, did not plan to leave the club sports and intra- mural teams that usually use the, F Wines facilities without a field. "Before any contract is signed, there will be a clause stating that the tops of the buildings must be' surfaced smoothly and suitable for team play," Canhit asserted force- fully. "No one will be left to play in the streets as long as I'm here," he added. spurts NTG I ,EDTTOR: Any Barbasol?f APRIL FOOL!w - r By JOCK STRAP A relieved sports world cheered last night as Avery Bumblage an- nounced his resignation from the presidency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in or- der to enter a sanatarium. Bumbladge, who has headed up the most powerful amateur ath- ' letic body on the globe since 1952, will be 83 in September. Not so affectionately known as the "Grand Old Fart" (GOF) of amateur athletics, Bumblage re- fused for years to allow any change in the definition of the financial status of the amateur athlete despite rising costs that prevented the unbacked individual (no club affiliation) from travel- ing to the top meets spread throughout the nation. Controversy has rocked the amateur sports scene throughout the GOF's reign. The war between the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States (AAU) and the United States Track and Field Federation (USTFF) was further muddled by GOF's bungling and a conflict of interest. GOF refused to arbitrate in thel dispute that has more than once threatened the U.S. Olympic Team itself. He consistantly refused to even listen to the c a s e of the USTFF. To top all of this, GOF is a seven term past president of the AAU. GOF's incompetance n e a r 1 y made a shambles of t h e recent Games in Mexico City. Determined to send what is now known as the "Olympic Monetary Plumb" south of the border, GOF refused to con- sider the effect of altitude on the athletes. Well o v e r a hundred' competitors in all sports collapsed from oxygen starvation. "They were simply high," com- mented a glassy-eyed GOF at the time. GOF reacted to the Black Pow- er demonstration of Tommie Smith and John Carlos by having them sent back home from t he Games. GOF is reported to have said, "This more than ever affirms my faith in a separate but equal Olympics, the only difference be- ing that times will only be kept in the white games." GOF's intransigeance, on the amateur athlete question contin- ued in Mexico. Rumors circulated during the Games that some kind of payoffs w e r e being made to athletes to wear the products of certain German neo-Nazi shoe manufacturers. GOF denied all re- ports. But in the March issue of Sports Intoxicated, the entire seamy busi- ness w a s exposed to a stunned world. In the Intoxicated article an unidentified b u t nonetheless unreliable source said, "If this en- tire thing were put before the TOC there would be no amateur ath- letes left in the world." "Its a Commie-pinko-facist- ex- tremist plot," allegedly iaged GOF. "My friends at the John Birch Society, the Minutemen, the CIA and FBI will be investigating this matter." Edgar J. Hover, director of the FBI, was contacted in Washing- ton. "There is no need to worry," t said the venerable symbol of lawve Y; and order, "the Bureaugot.wind of this plot about 18 months ago and our men completely infiltrated t :r the games. Every athlete compet- ing wasone of our agents." Mr. Hover then stroked a 250 yard drive down the first fairway of the golf course at the newly dedicated FBI Country Club lo- catod near Quantico, Virginia. GOF will enter the newly coh- structed FBI Mental Hospital lo- cated adjacent the Bureau's new Grand Old Fart country club. r~re ILb SDA- Don Cannit, A. .

( Big Lewie Eatzit smashes way to win in Trans-Campus cycle race SUMMER SESSION Monterey Institute of Foreign Studies JUNE 76-AUGUST 23 TEN WEEKS OF TUTORIAL-TYPE INSTRUCTION in Languages, Area Studies, Teacher Education REGISTRATION JUNE 10-14 Ili: 'I' ! i I; I, By CROCKED LEE Bill Eatzit, ace Daily sports- writer and card shark, has been declared the winner of the annual 11 trans-campus bicycle racehspon- sored by The Daily and the YAF yesterday after twelve hours of deliberation by the race's rules committee. The confusion attached to this year's race resulted from i change in the -race course. The race has been traditionally run on Wines and South Ferry fields, but the fields are so rutted that they are now suitable only -for rugby. This year the race was changed to a true trans-campus run and Bill, using his knowledge of Ann Arbor geography obtained as a Cottage Inn delivery boy, jumped out to a quick lead and was never headed. While other contestants were bogged down in *traffic on puller road, Bill took a short cut. He cut across the Municipal Golf Course, decimating three greens in the process. He then thrilled the crowd (three squirrels and a small flock of starlings) by jumping across the Huron River. Unfortunately for Bill, this short cut led him right into a road block set up by that stout upholder of the law, Sheriff Slug Harvie. Harvie said he intended to stop the race because it was "lewd and immoral and plainly subversive." Once again, Bill proved worthy ofthe challenge. Claiming he was an undercover nark, he explained to the officers that he was trying to mnake a bust, but that she had run away and he was chasing her. The dazed officers let him through. Bill's near disqualification oc- curred in the final leg of the race. This lag involved riding the bike up the stairs of Burton Tower. SBill's blistering pace caught of- ficials unprepared for his early ar- rival and the stairs could not be cleared of visitors in time. Con- WOw! t l w ! sequetly, Bill had a rather difficult ascent; his kickstand, however, had a ball. Upon his arrival at the top, Bill was rewarded with kisses from Robin Blue Breast, Daily Associate. Sports Editor, and Mike Modelski YAF President. He also received a free meal from Cottage Inn. Unfortunately for Bill, nobody has devised a way to get his bicycle down and this added with, the emotional strain appears to have been too much for poor Bill. Meanwhile Bill is still up there with his bike and is claiming he hears bells. Maybe he will have a better trip next time.
