able for comment last night, Zim-
Although Perry was unavail-
mer talked at length on his ap-
pointment.
"I'm really excited about go-
ing to work for Canham and
Michigan," he stated. "I admire
Don Canham a great deal. I've al-
ways admired that type of per-
son."
Regarding his specific duties,
Zimmer said "Canham felt that
another man was needed in the
department, somebody familiar
'with the specific needs of radio
and television. Its a new post,
with the specific needs of radio
department, somebody familiar
and it will be mostly what I make'
of it."
TAPE COVERAGE
"I have some definite ideas
about what we might do to aid
the electronic media coverage of
Michigan athletics," he continued.
"I'd like to install a tape system
and have , a special telephone
number that radio stations can
call. They could hear a taped in-
terview with a coach or player,
or a description of whats going
on on the athletic scene. Other
schools like Michigan State and
Notre Dame have a similar set-up
and I think it's a good idea."
'Id also like to prepare weekly
films and send them to television
stations," he said.
Zimmer will continue his daily
sports show on WAAM and also
continue broadcasting Michigan
athletic events.
"I should have enough time for:
both," he said.

Wisconsin, tied for second with
Minnesota in the standings at 6-2,
leads in team slugging with .468.
Best hitting team is Illinois, dead-
locked with Michigan State for
fourth place at 4-2. The Illini
are batting .330, followed by Wis-
consin with .326. ..
Although Setzer shares Badger
catching with Jim Trebbin, he
has banged 11 hits in 13 trips for
his .602 league mark. For the
overall season, Trebbin is hitting
.308, compared with Setzer's .550
for 19 fewer trips.
FREEHAN'S RECORD
The Big Ten season batting
record is .585, set in 1961 by Mich-
igan's Bill Freehan, now a catch-
ing star for the Detroit Tigers.
CCarey/ and Nickels each pitched
a pair of seven-inning shutouts
and each has yielded only five
hits. However, Gopher Carey has
walked one fewer than Nickels,
10, and has struck out two more,
