PAGE ' Srx THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1967 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1967 Gin dermen By BOB McFARLAND Acting Executive Sports Editor Wolverine head track coach Don Canham loves surprises, especially' in the Big Ten Championship meets. Take the case of one of his former cindermen, John Love, who is now track mentor at Ann Arbor High. "He was ranked fourteenth in the conference when they put the hurdle times on the board be- fpre the Big Ten meet," Canham recalls. "Then, he went out there and won the race," he smiled. This is the kind of surprise which Canham has specialized in during his 18 years as head coach of the Michigan thinclads, a span in which his charges have garn- ered 11 Big Ten crowns. Analyzing the conference yester- day, Canham stated, "Wisconsin and Michigan State have to be rated as co-favorites. Iowa's in the same shape we are. They get a few breaks and they can sneak in there." Dulled Edge But how well the two leaders do on Friday and Saturday may have been partially determined by their head-to-head confrontation in a dual meet last Saturday. Stiff competition of this sort can take the edge of an athlete's perform- ance. "What we're hoping now is that Michigan State and Wisconsin played themselves out against each other on Saturday. Going all out can have a definite effect.

A Lot Worse Assistant coach Dave Martin agreed about the effects of the meet, won by Michigan State 76- 64. "I know one thing," he com- mented. "Michigan State and Wis- consin are feeling a lot worse than we are today." In a compilation of the best times through the week of Febru- ary 18, the Badgers led with six first places, followed by the Wol- verines and Spartans with four each, and Iowa with three. The Michigan and MSU totals included two relay clockings apiece, which will not be among the events scheduled in Madison. The only individual Wolverine leaders were captain Jack Harvey, defending champion in the shot put, and sophomore Gary Knicker- bocker, who sports a 6'9%" leap in the high jump. Throw Times Away Quick to de-emphasize these statistics so often cited by scribes, Canham noted, "For these meets, you can throw the times away. They don't mean a thing. Ability is what counts, and we know we have it in several places. It's just a matter of putting 'together all the pieces of a puzzle on the same day. We've won other titles like this," he added. The top battle of the weekend may develop in the 880-yard run, where three excellent half milers, led by Wolverine Kutschinski are be two other sophomores, Ray entered in the field. His foes will Arrington of Wisconsin, and the Spartans' John Spain.

Although the Michigan run- ner came out on top in that en- counter, he offered nothing but praise for his Spartan nemesis af- ter the performance Saturday. "The only reason I beat him then was because he ran a poor race, and he's bigger and stronger now," Kutschinski pointed out. The Wolverines will enter an- other strong contender in the 660- yard run. With a 1:11.5 time to his credit this season, he will have to deal with Mike Mondane, defend- ing conference title holder, who has been clocked in 1:11.0 for the distance.

Influenza Kearney, half-miler John Reyn- olds, and other Wolverine cinder- men have been bothered by the! flu and bronchitis lately. "Influ- enza is certainly another factor," Canham notes, "but it's sweeping the entire Midwest right now, and everyone will feel it." Another middle-distance event, the 1000-yard run, will feature Ken Coffin, a Wolverine junior, who placed second in the confer- ence meet last season. Arrington, also rates high in this category.

Pacing the field will be Larry Wieczorek, who zipped through the fastest 1760-yards in Big Ten his- tory, a 4:05.6 performance. According to Canham, "There's not any question that Kearney has top speedster Hubie Bryant, suf- fered a pulled hamstring last week and sat out of the Gopher's dual meet with Iowa Saturday. His status is doubtful for the Indoors. Rick Hunt, who copped the Big Ten high jump championship out- doors, and the mile relay team, chinski, McDonald, and Bob Gero- metta, also rate as important keys to the Wolverine championship drive. Michigan State's powerful hurdle contingent will attempt the iden- tical one-two-three sweep that they accomplished last year, but with slightly different personnel. Gene Washington, who grabbed both the 70-yard lows and highs will return to defend both crowns. He will be joined by teammate Charles Pollard, owner of an :08.2 clocking for the highs which is the best ever in the Big Ten, and an- other Spartan, Bob Steele. Dick Sharkey, another MSU cin- derman, is expected to run away with the two-mile run. His 8:51.2 time is 15 seconds better than that of the runner-up, Iowa's Wieczo- rek. Who will be in the Wolverine surprise package? Hurdlers Larry Midlam and Nelson Graham, Col- ton in the 300-yard dash and Gerometta in the 440, Elmo Mo- rales and Reynolds in the 880-yard run, Steve Leuchtman and Bob Thomas in the shot put, Carl Flowers in the long jump, Clarence Martin in the higlh jump, and Carl Watkins and Matti'Kipelainen in the pole vault, could provide the needed push.

Illinois just got caught." "If you don't slip them money under the table, you're not going to come up with winning teams." "Let's be practical about this. College athletes are no longer amateur. It's big business in the truest sense of the term. The only reason intercollegiate sports exist is to make money." "There are no finer men around than those Illinois coaches. Sure, they may have broken the rules here and there, but think about all those years of service they've given to the conference." These are representative of the excuses being offered for the financial aid violations committed by three Illinois coaches, Pete Elliott, Harry Combes, and Howie Braun. Students on the Champaign- Urbana campus, Illinois alumni, and public officials have all rallied around the trio. Even Gov. Otto Kerner got into the act Sunday, when he termed Big Ten punishment as "excessive." The Big Ten faculty representatives, who are scheduled to act tomorrow on the Illini appeal of last week's decision, are caught in a hotbox, and it appears that no matter which way they decide to run, the Big Ten will be tagged out. One course of action open to them, of course, would be to reverse the Big Ten athletic directors' choice to enforce the letter of the laws when they demanded that Illinois fire the three coaches for handing out monies from the $21,000 slush fund established by for- mer athletic director Doug Mills, and his assistant-turned-informant, Mel Brewer. They could accept the penalties which Illinois imposed on the men as just; namely, suspending the coaches from recruiting activities for one year. This would satisfy public opinion, certainly, and allow Elliott, a well-respected and popular mentor, to remain at the helm of the Fighting Illini. But how would it satisfy Section 11 (a) of the Big Ten Regula- tions which states: "Any conference university which employs or retains on its athletic staff anyone who has violated or has been a party to a violation of the provisions of this regulation, or who encourages others to violate this regulation, or who, upon inquiry by the commissioner, withholds knowledge of the violation of this regu- lation by others, shall be required to show cause why its mem- bership in the conference should not be suspended or terminated." The language is straightforward. Illinois has admitted the viola- tions. The penalty has been set down. Now, Illinois President David D. Henry will attempt'to "show cause why its membership in the conference should not be suspended or terminated. Henry claims that Illinois will withdraw from the conference rather than accept the judgment, if his appeal is not successful. Tle end of the Big Ten; back to the Big Nine. But that may not be the end of things. Elliott is reported now to have threatened the disclosure of other recruiting violations by Western Conference membels . . . if the nuling is not reversed. So it's no holds barred, and once the name calling begins, it's going to be difficult to stop. First, the escalation. Then, the fragmentation. A similar development led to the break-up of the Pacific Coast Con- ference in the fifties. A difficult predicament faces the faculty representatives. Do you sacrifice principle for practicality or vice versa? From this writer's viewpoint, there is only one realistic path to follow. The Big Ten should stick by its guns, and require Illinois to either dismiss Elliott, Combes, and Braun, or withdraw from the conference. The Big ;Ten has long held itself up as a crusader for ama- teurism in collegiate athletics. By failing to enforce this serious infraction of its regulations, it would announce that these prin- ciples are no longer worth more than the paper they're printed on. The press has yelled "hypocrisy" at the Western Conference. In other leagues where athletes are "students" in name only, univer- sities have chuckled silently at the Big Ten's misfortunes. Until allegations against other conference members. become fact and not mere rumors however, these charges have the weight of arrows against guns. If the conference believes that other institutions are guilty, it should undertake its own investigation, beating its critics to the punch. Or the Big Ten may decide that it's no longer worth the trouble tostem' the rising tide of professionalism. But if this is to be the Conference philosophy, it should be enacted by legislation, not pardons. swwwwrr mmwwr~w m m mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mm DEFROST YOUR BICYCLE Bring your frozen bike to Beaver's newly expanded service department... r V0 All repairs guaranteed for 6 months * -0 All bicycles oiled free with repairs This ad is worth 3 50c * when presentedBB for any repairs.
