Bucks vice-=president and general manager John Erickson said the reason for the delay was that they were signing a number of contracts. No one would officially divulge the contents of the contracts. Erickson said, "It is the policy of the Milwaukee Bucks not to disclose the length of terms of any contract." " TAMPA - Donn Clendenon, who threw the baseball world into confusion by suddenly retiring last month, has changed his mind and signed with Montreal, the Expos announced yesterday., The Expos, in a prepared statement, said Clendenon signed a two-year contract for an undisclosed amount and will report imme- diately from his Atlanta home to the Expos Class A farm club in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was expected to join the Expos in 10 to 14 days after he gets in shape. "I love baseball," Clendenon said, "and had hated the thought of leaving the game or hurting a team or anyone connected with base-I ball. However, my personal business problems have been such that it! appeared impossible to play this year. I regret the confusion this caused baseball." * BATON ROUGE - Press Maravich, Louisiana State Univer- sity basketball coach, says he has turned down an offer to coach in the professional American Basketball Association. Maravich told the Baton Rouge Morning Advocate in a story in yesterday's edition that an offer to coach the new Carolina Cougars was an attractive one but that he had decided to remain at LSU. " ST. PETERSBURG - The St. Louis Cardinals traded infielder Jerry Buchek and catcher Jim Hutto to the Philadelphia Phillies yes- terday for first baseman Bill White, a former Cardinal. --~ - -____-___--__ D iespite his casual air on the tennis court, however, the senior from Great Neck, N.Y., is really very intense when playing. This concentration is reflected in his 14-2 won-loss record last year. "I guess it's part of my person- ality," notes Fishback. "I've been lucky in that I don't tense up to the point where I can't perform effectively. I just relax and enjoy the game. If I don't enjoy play- ing, then I won't play half as well." HIS PERFORMANCES attest to the fact that he very much enjoys the game. Besides compiling an admirable record as Michigan's first singles representative, P e t e also netted the Big Ten number one doubles championship 1 a s t year witlecaptain Brian Marcus. Son of a tennis pro, he first l started playing serious tennis at the age of 12. "My dad always wanted me to play tennis, but I was always more interested in golf. He was the pro at a country club, so I had the opportunity to play, a lot of golf, and for a couple of years I thought I would go into the sport." TENNIS FINALLY became his racket however. He is now im- mersed in every facet of the sport, adding, "I'm actually better known as a tennis racket expert and stringer than as a player." Michigan got itssfirst peek at Fishback in 1 y63 when Michigan Coach Bill Murphy watched Pete's sterling performance in the For- est Hill Nationals. "I was lucky enough to, beat a highly-ranked West German. "Murph" saw me, offered a scholarship, and I took it m The riustached and side-burned was the obvious compromise. "I've always gotten along real well with my folks," Fishback adds with only a hint of an eastern dialect. He also gets along well with the team members, saying, "We're quite a whacky bunch. If you trav- of hair, Fishback has encountered very little static over his Joe Na- math look. "OF COURSE they don't love it," he adds, "but I think that the image of the flat-topped athlete is changing. And there's nothing wrong with that." Pete plans to remain within the realm of tennis after graduation as a teacher and business part- ner in his father's indoor tennis courts in Great Neck. "The game's pretty well been my life up to this point," s a y s Fishback. "I've been with it for 10 years now and can't imagine giving up something that's so much a part of me." Meanwhile, he will continue to entertain Michigan fans for ano- ther season. Who says tennis isn't fun to watch? 0 car. "I walked 50 feet to the car and decided to drive the 50 feet back. I've been sort of harassed for it ever since."

RICHARD BALZHISER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR CITY OF ANN ARBOR (postponed from last week)* Dearborn, Mich. 48121 By NORM SCHERR Curse the weatherman! March has gone out like neitherthe meek lamb nor the bellicose lion but rather like a gloomy blob for the Wolverine golfers. The lack of sunshine only slightly dampened Assistant Golf Coach Bill New- ton's view of Michigan's fifth place finish at the Miami In- vitational Tournament this past week. "The team performed "reasonably well, but the rain and wind cer- tainly didn't contribute to the kind of workout we were looking for in our southern tour." Assistant Coach Newton said. The Wolverine linksters began their assault on the South with a sweep through the Tampa area, taking an unanticipated three matches from the Southern locals while dropping one to Southern Florida. Invading further south, they fired several rounds at the University of Miami, lost one, and finished 5-2 in the pre-tournament play. In the tournament itself, which began last Wednesday and con- tinued through Saturday, Michi- gan placed fifth in a field of over forty, duplicating last year's feat. The tournament top spots fell to Florida, Florida State, Miami, and New Mexico., "When you consider that the top four schools practice all year round, Michigan faired very well. None of the other Big Ten schools came even close, and Michigan ranked over m a n y Southern schools, too," noted Newton. "Although we didn't score as well as last year, we did show the kind of comeback ability that niay prove essential," he added. Michigan's trouble began on the first day. Despite a fine par 72 performance by junior letterman Keith Mohan, the rest of the team ran. high, although still holding onto fifth place. In the second round, Michigan slipped to the seventh spot, once again in spite of Mohan's repeat 72. Michigan fortunes c h a n g e d slightly in the third round as the linksters climbed up to sixth be- hind senior Rod Sumpter's one under par 71, which turned out to be the Wolverine's best score. In the final round the entire team shot in the seventies, paced by Mohan's 74, low for the day. Mohan also had the combined lowest total of 303. Assistant Coach Newton now considers his team ready to play consistently well. "Keith Mohan shot much better than I expected from him, and Rod Sumpter's 305 total was very good. Because his timing was off, Randy Ftskine was slow getting started, but he is shaping up nicely. Captain Mark Christenson can be counted on for steady scores," Newton said. In the near future Michigan golfers will be competing in the Robert Kepler Ohio Invitational, to be played April 11-12 at Ohio State. "We should be able to get in some solid practices now before the invitational," Newton predict- ed. "Squad positions aren't defi- nite yet, but will probably include Sumpter, Erskine, Christenson and either juniors Rocky Pozza, Gene Keith Mohan Dank, sophs John Roska or Dan Schewe, depending on practice re- sults. "We're also setting sights for the Illinois and possibly the Alma Invitationals," Newton explained. "Michigan will be a top contender for the Big Ten title, and we ex- pect that kind of season."
