THE MICH16AN DAILY Thursday, August 15, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, August 15, 1968 Canadians save NL franchise LANI LOKEN, a Michigan sophomore, demonstrates a perfect pike during training for the upcoming Olympic diving trials. Miss Loken placed eighth in the national AAU championships two weeks ago, and with past- AAU champ Micki King gives'Michigan a great opportunity for representation on the Olympic team. 'Al'well r -epretsented as. '968 Oympicsapproach By PHIL BROWN Summer Sports Editor For most of us the end of August means either 1) summer is over, or 2) school is starting; most of us, in fact, are forced to accept both inter- pretations. For at least one select group, however, August is no more than a heartbeat away from Septem- ber, which is nothing less than a stepping-stone to October. And October could mean an easy-to- take working vacation in Mexico City. While the Big Ten is figured to send surprising- ly few athletes with the United States Olympic Team this year, Michigan is expected to be very well represented. No less than four divers will carry Michigan's colors in the upcoming Olympic Trials in Long Beach, Cal., while at least, two Wolverine tankers may be in the swim at Mexico City. Almost certain to wave the Michigan flag in Aztec land are a pair of Wolverine gymnasts, al- though they will be among numerous representa-' tives of foreign countries who attend the Uni- versity. Also expected to go to the 1968 Summer Games are Juai Bello, a swimmer of considerable talent, and Alex McDonald, graduated captain of this year's track team. Bello will compete for Peru. while McDonald's allegiance is to his native Jamaica. The list goes on and on, containing such lumin- aries as swimmer Carl Roble, a veteran of the Tokyo Games of 1964, and Ron Kutschinski, whose half-mile heroics'have made him a popular dark horse candidate for a team berth. And-while all have worked very hard in hopes of finding a place in the Mexican sun, possibly no group has punished itself more than the par- ticipants in the aquatic sports - swimming and diving- Two men will represent Michigan on the trial boards in California - sophomore Dick Rydze, and Jay Meaden, a senior. Like all of Dick Kitn- ball's products they can be confidently labeled "Olympic timber." Kimball, the Wolverine diving coach, has spent the summer with dozens of determined competi- tors, and now can do no more than sit back and pray that his prodding will result in another Olympic champion. Accompanying Rydze and Meaden will be a comely pair of distaff divers, one a relative new- comer and one an established veteran in com- petitive diving.. Micki King is a past national AAU outdoor champion determined to regain her rightful place among the pool elite after being relegated to sixth place in this dear's title meet. Also bolstering Kimball's chances for coaching success is sophomore Lani Loken, daughter of Wolverine gym coach Newt Loken and a star in her own right. Both girls will compete on two boards, the ten- meter (or tower) and three-meter. Meaden will also go from both boards, while Rydze will be diving only from the tower. There is no one-meter competition in the Olympics, which limits American divers some- what because of the predominance of one-meter events in the U.S. Further handicapping American divers is the system used for judging Olympic diving. Under Olympic rules all divers must perform a certain number of required dives before their optional dives. The required dives invariably out-number the optionals, which not only limits truly talented divers but makes judging the competition ex- tremely difficult., The airborne ballet that is diving has a more down-to-earth parallel in gymnastics, and Michi- gan's contribution to that area of Mexico's mad- ness is as impressive as the divers. After two national trial meets, a pair of Wol- verines held the top spots for the Canadian gym squad. Gil Larnse, captain of the 1963 Michigan team and that year's NCAA all-around champion, seems to have a solid hold on first; Sid Jensen a sen- sational sophomore from last season's team, is securely in second. Also given a chance of making the Canadian team is Fred Rodney, who was eighth after two trials but needs to move up two places to make the trip south. His opportunity comes this week- end, at the final trial meet in Toronto. MONTREAL () - Montreal secured its National League base- ball franchise yesterday. Sponsors of the team beat the deadline by more than 24 hours when they turned over a check for $1,120,000 in United States funds to league president Warren Giles at a news conference here. At the same time, John McHale, a leading baseball figure, was named president and chief execu- tive of the team and Jim Fanning, a close friend of McHale, was named general manager. Lester B. Pearson, former Prime Minister of Canada, was named honorary president of the still un- named team. The $1,120,000 was the initial payment of the $10 million fran- chise fee. "Montreal is now a full-fledged member of the league," Giles told a jammed-packed audience. "I believe Montreal is a vibrant city,' 'Giles said. "I'm sure you're going to enjoy baseball here. In fact, I know you'll enjoy it." Charles Bronfman, a leading sponsor of the new team, was named chairman of the board of the Montreal syndicate while Paul Beaudry, a new backer and Mon- treal cement company executive, and Lorne Webster, an original backer, were named vice-chair.- men. McHale, who has been connect- ed with organized baseball for 28 years, announced the club has hired three scouts - Ed Lopat, Bobby Bragan and Johnny Moore, all former big league players. McHale, who held the post as administrator in baseball Com- missioner William D.. Eckert's of- fice, said he joined the club be- cause he had a chance to invest in it and because of the challenge of handling a new club. Fanning was assistant general manager of the Braves from 1964 and held that position until as- suming the scouting and farming duties of the Braves in September, 1966. City officials who attended the news conference, including May- or Jean Drapeau, did not an- nounce plans for Jarry Park, in north Montreal, which will be us- ed as a temporary stadium for the team until a new park is con-; structed in -192,' Mayor Drapeau told the gather- ing he preferred not to speak dur- ing the news conference but did say that faith "saved the fran- chise." "Gerry Snyder had faith right from the beginning and I thank him," the mayor said. Snyder, vice-chairman of the city's executive committee,, was the man who took Montreal's case to Chicago for expansion talks and sold the National League on Montreal. 1 /21 Bll board.- Freshman football coach Bill Dodd has scheduled a meeting' at 4 p.m., Aug. 26, at the Ath- letie Building, 1000 S. State St., for anyone wishing to try out for the Michigan freshman football team. * Irate tourney sponsors step into PGA battle By The Associated Press NEW 'FORK (.') - The Pro- fessional Golfers Association kept the door open to the rebelling tournament pros yesterday as players stiffened their determina- tion to strike out on a tour of their own. "I don't believe the PGA posi- tion has been fairly presented to the players," said Max Elbin, PGA president, from his office at the Burning Tree Golf Club in Beth- esda, Md. "We would like to appear be- fore a meeting of all the men so that we can present the facts of the case. I don't believe - when. AND BIRDS LOSE the issues are aired - that the situation is irreconcilable." Gardner Dickinson, Jr., chair- man of the Players Tournament dailyt spor, ts NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL BROWN Committee, said he felt a limit had been reached in negotiations. "The PGA knows what we want and has refused to budge," Dick- inson said. "I honestly wish that we could get together, but it doesn't appear possible. I just hope it isn't nasty." The tournament p l a y e r s, through their New York attorney Sam Gates, announced Tuesday that they would divorce the PGA, at the end of existing tournament contracts, and form an indepen- dent organization for conduct of the $5.6 million tour. The action caught tournament sponsors, television officials and Surging Tigers whitewash Indians, 3-0 * many of the players themselves by surprise. The 16-man PGA executive committee has called an emergen- cy meeting Friday at the National Headquarters in Palm Beach Gar- dens, Fla. Sponsors have been summoned to a meeting in Hous- ton Sept. 5-6. Meanwhile, the people who stage professional golf tourna- ments - the local sponsors - stepped into the PGA revolt and3 said they plan to flex their m~us- les to get a piece of the action in running the pro tour. Angus M. Mairs of Minneapolis, president of the International Golf Sponsors' Association, said the group he heads wants to add its voice to the decision-making in administering the pro golf tour. The revolt by the tour pros against the so-called establish- ment in the PGA, which, broke ,into the open Tuesday, also brings to a head the matter of how much say sponsors should *have in run- ning the tour, Mairs said. "I've received calls from all ov- er the country in the past few weeks from sponsors wh are fed up to here," Mairs told The Asso- ciated Press. "In recent years I think there has been almost overt action on the part of the PGA to ignore the sponsors." The IGSA, Mairs said, wants'ja voice in the scheduling of tourna- ments, and a voice in the televi- sion contracts. "Instead of the present plan of four players and four PGA rep- resentatives on the governing board, I would say a final com- mittee that would work out the schedule should also include four representatives of the sponsors, at least. This is an example of what we're aiming at." By The Associated Press CLEVELAND - Bill Freehan's 18th home run launced the De- troit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over Cleveland last night as Joe Spar- ma and Mickey Lolich checked the Indians on six hits. It was the Tiger's sixth victory over Cleveland in seven games over a nine-day span. Freehan homered off Indians' ace Luis Tiant in the second in- ning, giving Sparma a 1-0 lead. Al Kaline doubled in the sixth and scored on Gates Brown's .A i Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet.
