SixT THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1967 i 'Greatest' Su,-mD In Exhibition At Cobo Hall Special To The Daily By JOHN LOTTIER DETROIT - Although notably slower and overweight, Muham- mad Ali was still good enough to be "the greatest," at least against the likes of Orville Qualls and Al- vin "Blue" Lewis in two three round exhibitions last night at Cobo Hall. Burdened with 16 ounce gloves and headgear (regulation require- ments for all exhibitions), Ali con- tinually toyed with the 235 pound Qualls, entertaining the crowd with such antics as his "Ali Shuf- fle" and the "double clutch,'' which was displaced publicly for the first time. (The double clutch is in fact, only the "Ali Shuffle" done twice in a row at double speed.) In the second match, the champ ran into more difficulty. Lewis, a crowd pleaser himself, attempted to begin the fight before the bell and without a referee. His trade- marks were a soft left jab, a to- tally inaccurate right and a tend- ency to whistle shrilly between rounds while flailing both arms in the air, signifiying imminent' victory. Forthe first two rounds of the Lewis-Ali exhibition, the champ allowed his opponent to attack and taunt him at will, never rais- ing his guard, and once even al- lowing himself to be cornered and treated as a punching bag, offer- ing no resistance whatsoever.' In the third round, however, Ali changed tactics and for the only time in either exhibition, demon- strated real boxing prowess. He battered "Blue" with a continuous barrage of left uppercuts and right' crosses. Neither exhibition bvas scored, although Ali easily controlled both. Before the third round, fight officials announced there would be a fourth round to the Lewis- Clay exhibition, but Clay laid in- to Lewis with several quick com- binations to the head and body, and as the bell sounded, Lewis yelled at the referee, "That's all." The Sham Speaks... Last Saturday, as a part of UAC's Summer Weekend, Domingo Samudio, better known as Sam the Sham, was in town with his musical group, the Pharoahs. Daily reporter Thomas R. Copi took the opportunity to speak with Sam the Sham, who numbers among his hit tunes such titles as "Wooly Bully" and "Li'l Red Riding Hood." The bulk of the interview follows. COPI: Sam, what type of audience do you prefer playing for? From what type of audience do you get the best response? StheS: The type of response we get depends on the area, but we can always get a response from the college crowd, because ours is a "hip" act-there are many things involved where if you don't know what's happening, you're going to get left out. But we enjoy doing college dates the most. COPI: Your performance here is known as a "one-night stand"-do you do much of this type of work? StheS: We find ourselves either playing or travelling every day. We're starting out on a tour, and we'll be playing 35 consecutive one-nighters. This involves a lot of work, moving every day and all, .but I don't think I'd dig it any other way. Sometimes we do other things-we played a sit-down engagement in Manila for two weeks- that was really royal. It gave us a chance to polish up our new rou- tines and like that. 4 4 Associated Press RIDER COLLEGE'S Paul Buytkins slid with a cloud of dust into third in Wednesday's game of the NCAA College World Series against Auburn College's Johnny Straiton.

By The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. - Top-ranked Stanford eliminated Auburn 5-3 in a rain-shortened College World Series fourth inning yesterday. The other fourth round game involving Houston and Arizona State, only unbeaten club in the NCAA tourney, was rescheduled for 8 p.m. today. In a battle of the only two un- beaten teams in the series, Arizona State rallied to beat No. 1 ranked Stanford 5-3 Wednesday night in the last game of the second round. Auburn's Scotty Long belted a run-scoring double off the left field fence in the last of the ninth and the Southeastern champs eliminated Rider of New Jersey 4-3 Wednesday night. Houston had allied for three runs in tlhe ninth inning, climaxed by two-out bases loaded singles by Ken Berbert and G. J. Cantu and eliminated Ohio State's defending NCAA champs 7-6 on Tuesday. Potent Arizona State then whip- ped Boston College 8-1 as Tom Burgess pitched a four-hitter and batted in three runs.

Fifth ranked Gary Rose of UCLA upset top seeded Stan Smith of Southern California yes- terday in the quarterfinals of the National Collegiate Tennis Tour- nament. The victory brought UCLA to a 22-22 deadlock with USC going Southern Negro Recruitment Lures Talent Despite Protest into the quarter finals of doubles today. The title will be decided tomor- row with the winners of a match between Jaime Fillol of Miami and Rose and one between Bob Lutz of USC and Ian Crookenden of UCLA. Southern California had taken a 20-19 lead over UCLA Wednes- day after four rounds of singles and three rounds of doubles play. Michigan and Arizona were tied for third place with 12 points and could be passed if Fillol wins his match for Miami today. Track Event Begins PROVO, Utah - World record holder Jim Ryun of Kansas coast- ed to victory in the first heat of the mile run last night, clocking 4:09.6 as the 46th NCAA Track and Field Championships opened under clear skies in high altitude Provo. 'Defending Champion Charlie Greene of Nebraska tied the world record in the 100-yard dash, clock- ing 9.1 in a qualifying heat. Greene"achieved the mark only minutes after sophomore Lennox Miller of Southern Californiah ad equalled the collegiate record of 9.2 in another heat. Greene had an allowable wind of 3.9 miles an hour. There was no wind on Mil- ler's heat. Among the entrants were four world record breakers and a dozen defending champions, some of whom appeared outclassed in their bids for repeat titles. Field events qualifying was first on the schedule, shortened some- what by a decision, that no quali- fying would be necessary in the hammer throw. Only 14 men were entered in this, a sharp contrast to the 53 entries in the half mile. More than 40 were entered in the high hurdles, high jump, 220, ,440 and three-mile. StheS: I used to work in a club in Dallas-sweeping, cleaning off the pool tables. There's no future in that. I emceed the act that was at this particular club one night, and I dug it, so I began to figure out ways to get into it. I became interested in pop music when I was in school. COPI: Where did you go to school? StheS: I ispent two years at Arlington State College. I was an English major, though you probably couldn't tell it by my grammar. But I dug English and history. I thought at one time I might like to be a professor. I decided that if I couldn't make it in the music field, I wanted to be an entomologist-you know, study bugs. COPI: Is that your hobby? StheS: No, but I can recognize certain bugs when I see 'em. It's really a very interesting field, because there are about 183 million varieties of the different species of insects in the United States' and Canada. And that's not even counting Mexico, which has an entirely different set of bugs. There are some really wicked bugs in this world. It might sound ridiculous, but it's very interesting, because insects play an important part in our agriculture. Take, for instance, the fire ant. It was brought in from South America on fruit, and this particular insect has prac- tically destroyed agriculture in the South. And those ants are cap- able of killing people; in fact there are cases where they've attacked small deer and children-they've killed children in the South. It's a very dangerous insect-kind of like the army ant. COPI: When and where did you pick up the girls that are now in your act, the Shamettes? StheS: I picked up the Shamettes about seven months ago in New York, where they were a 'singing group. I thought they could add some color to the act . . something besides just males . . . some more variety. It gives the guys in the audience something to look forward to. They're very attractive and we're very proud of them. Photographed By Thomas R.

This "new look," in a conference of exceptional football talent that has been scoffed at by sceptical Big Ten fans for not having Negro players, has lured three of Mich- igan's most promising high school stars this year. A case in point is fast scoring Spencer Haywood from Detroit's Pershing high, who was attracted to Tennessee, according to their athletic department "because he was impressed by the new Tennes- see basketball arena and by coach Ray Meers and his assistants." There is also Albert Davis, a resident of Tennessee, already called another Jimmy Brown, who will be the first Negro on their grid team. Policy Shift The history of this apparently sudden shift in policy actually goes back four years, to when the Kentucky University regents en- dorsed a resolution that favored "active recruitment of Negroes." But to what extent the SEC is now merely responding to national criticism for not having Negroes and is insisting that they now be "academically qualified" is a ques- tion which is often hazed. Why for example, did Detroit's great Spen- cer Haywood decide on Tennessee and not Michigan or Michigan State? Michigan's coach Dave Strack would make no comment on Hay- wood's grades or academic qual- ifications. He said, however, that Michigan scouts had looked at him and decided "He is truly a tre- mendous player, and one of the really great prospects to come out of this state." "He's definitely in the super star class," Strack added. Whether Tennessee would have gone after him just last year is questionable. According to one Kentucky official "If we showed interest in recruiting a Negro ath- lete in the past, if word leaked out, he would receive threatening leters from people in Alabama and Mississippi." Academic standards are also a problem, as many Negroes come from urban schools which offer programs which are inferior to white suburban schools. One SEC source talked of West- ern Kentucky's recruitment this year of a great Negro player: "He is 7'1", with a couple of B's on his transcript, quite a few C's, many D's and I'd hate to tell you how many F's."' When this source was asked how Western Kentucky, (which is not in the SEC), will keep the boy eligible, the reply was, "I don't know, we intend to ask them that ourselves." An NCAA regulation requires athletes to maintain at least a 1.6 scholastic average. At Michi- gan in the literary college any student below a 2.0 for more than one semester can be dismissed for academic reasons. The "new look" SEC is obvious- ly trying to attract a great deal of Negro talent in a small amount of time, much as the American League tried to catch up when the National league got the jump on them in signing Negro athletes. For its belated start, the American League lost such stars as Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Henry Aaron. Whether the SEC, with five bowl participants last year, will make it any tougher for the Big Ten teams in the national stand- ings in the next few years still remains to be seen. -4 Wooly Bully.. Wooly Bully... Wooly Bully.,. Chicago, Detroit Downed by Rivals; Dodgers Pound Cubs as Pirates Split By The Associated Press Tony Conigliaro's two-run homer with two out in the 11th inning gave Boston a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox last night, but the Sox remained in first as Detroit lost as well. Harmon Killebrew's 17th home run with a man aboard ignited a four-run Minnesota rally in the seventh inning which carried the Twins to a 6-4 victory over De- troit. Detroit scored twice in the sixth off Twins reliever Al Worthing- ton, who replaced starter Dave Boswell when he developed blist- ers after striking out nine men in five innings. Killebrew was the first man to face Tiger reliever Fred Gladding and he erased a 3-2 Detroit lead. Mickey Stanley tripled to score a Tiger run in the second, but the Twins regained the lead with two in the fifth on a walk, error and singles by Cesar Tovar and Ron Carew. The Twins' Zoilo Versalles col- lected his 1000th major league hit with a sixth inning single. Lefty Jim Brewer ended a three- year hit famine with the first extra base blast of his major league career as the Los Angeles Dodgers handed the Chicago Cubs a second straight beating 5-0. Jenkins, suffering his fourth de- feat as the Dodgers snapped his five game winning streak, was touched for four unearned runs in the seventh. Wes Parker's third and Ron Hunt's second homers climaxed the spree after second baseman Norm Gigon's error opened the gates. John Donaldson opened the 11th inning with a triple and Reggie Jackson drove him home with a single, sending the Kansas City A's to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Dave Duncan reached first when Luis Aparicio bobbled his ground- er and Jim Gosger singled for the fourth marker. Dick Green's suicide squeeze bunt with one out scored the tying run. Baltimore had jumped on Jim Nash for five runs in six innings, one on Boog Powell's sixth homer. Dave Johnson, Andy Etchebarren and Brooks Robinson each doubled home runs and Etchebarren's sac- rifice fly brought in another. Jim Wynn cracked three solo home runs behind Mike Cuellar's eight-hitter and the Houston As- tros beat San Francisco 6-2, for their third victory in the four- game series. It was the first time any player has hit three home runs in one game in -the Astrodome. Wynn now ha hit ix hnmrnr in the last Pirates by Philadelphia 5-2 with a seven-hitter for a split in their twi-night doubleheader. The Phillies won the opener 4-1 as right-handed Dick Hall, a last- minute replacement for hospital- ized Jim Bunning, made his first starting appearance since 1963 and scattered nine hits. Rich Allen was the Phils' batting star. He had a two-runh omer in the third and a run-scoring single in the first. Gene Oliver, a catcher recently obtained by the Phils from At- lanta, also homered. Bob Veale was the losing pitcher, dropping his record to 7-2. Plan Chicago Sport Complex CHICAGO {P) - The Chicago White Sox announced yesterday plans to build a $50-million sports complex to house professional sports in Chicago, At a news conference, Arthur C. Allyn, president of the Comisky Park Corp., announced that his group and the Chicago and West- ern Indiana Railroad Co. had formed an agreement seeking to develop air rights for 50 acres of land now occupied by the Dear- born Street railroad stations on the south side of Chicago's Loop.
