Approval by the Regents is all
that is needed to insure Michigan
of having Tartan Turf at the
stadium and on one practice field
next year.
"The Regents will consider each
field separately," said Athletic Di-
rector Don Canham at yesterday's
IM Board meeting, "but right now
we see no difficulty in getting the
Regents to okay both fields."
Canham said at an earlier In-
tramural Board meeting that he
considered the fields to be an all
or nothing proposition. He said
that there was no point in putting
the artificial turf- down in the
s adium if the team didn't have a
field to practice on.
Canham also stated that the in-
creasing cost of artificial turfs
made it imperative that the Uni-
versity act now, as Minnesota
Mining and Manufacturing, the
makers of Tartan Turfy have
agreed to honor their original of-
fer for installation of the surface
if the University acts this year.
Failure to act this year might
cause an additional delay as Tar-
tan Turf orders have already be-
gun to backlog due to the ever
increasing demand for it.
Harvey Schiller of the Rugby
Club related the ruggers exper-
ience on an synthetic turf field in
Flint this past weekend to the
Board.
The contest was played on Astro
Turf, not on Tartan Turf, and
Schiller said that the difference
was noticeable. "Astro Turf seems
to be more abrasive," he said. Syn-
thetic turf also retains heat and
several ruggers reported blisters
after the contest
Because of the need for drain-
age, it is necessary to have the
center of a synthetic field ele-
vated about 18 inches above the
edges. Schiller noted that this
made it difficult to see across the
field, but this should not prove to
be a serious problem.
The direct benefits of artificial
playing surfaces are numerous.
Annual resodding will no longer be
necessary and maintenance will be
easier, as the field is vacuumed
clean.
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow
shall mar the many contests to
be played on the fields, and even
gloom of night will suffer a set-
back because the practice field
will be lighted for club sport and
intramural use at night.

U.S.-USSR to meet in track;
Noc-A-Homa loses teepee
By The Associated Press
! LOS ANGELES-The dual track meet series between the
United States and the Soviet Union, discontinued in 1966 when the
Russians protested U.S. involvement in Vietnam, is on again-the day
before America is to land a man on the moon.
The president of the Southern Pacific Association of the Amateur
Athletic Union, Al Schoenfield, in a letter to the Los Angeles Coliseum
Commission, said Monday the meet would be held July 18-19 in the
Coliseum.
He also said a team made up of British Commonwealth athletes
would compete in the meet.

0 ATLANTA-Chief Noc-A-Homa had a new teepee last night'
and was prepared to defend it.
The Atlanta Braves' mascot, burned out Monday night when his
smoke bombs for Clete Boyer's homer touched off a fire, put up a new!
teepee during the day and took the field last night in full fireman's
regalia.
The chief wore a red fire helmet, a fireman's coat and carried a
red fire extinguisher on his back when he ran to the teepee just before
the start of the Braves' battle with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The teepee, just back of the left field fence, was burned out
Monday night and the chief, a Chippewa-Ottawa Indian named Levi
Walker, charged he had been sabotaged.
"Somebody fooled with my smoke bombs," he said.
The crowd gave him a rousing cheer when he ran out to his re-
furbished teepee.
0 BUFFALO, N.Y.-The Buffalo Bills once again have failed to
sign All-American O. J. Simpson, and owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. said
yesterday he would consider trading Simpson.
Wilson, in a statement released by the American Football League
team's office here, said he met Monday in Detroit with Simpson, his
agent, Churck Barnes, and his lawyers, David Lockton.
Simpson, the 1968 Heisman Trophy winner from Southern Cali-
fornia, reportedly has been asking Wilson for a $600,000 salary and a
$500,000 loan.
* MONTREAL-Canada's hopes to enter a professional team in'
next year's World Hockey Championship apppar to be in for a rough
time.
The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association plans to bid to make
the championships an open tournament, thereby allowing pros to
play, but an international hockey official doesn't see much hope for
this idea's success.
"If they propose an open tournament, I don't think it will pass
the congress of the IIHF, but it can always be amended," Bunny
Aherne, president of the international Ice Hockey Federation, said
yesterday.

District Attorney Frank Hogan'sj

subpoenas. Benvenuti, who suf..1
fered a broken right hand in the'
first round, non-title fight, said
he and his manager were served!
immediately after the fight in;
Madison Square Garden.
. Benvenuti said they will appear
for questioning this afternoon.
Tiger could not be reached for
comment.
The persons served were ordered
to appear before a New York
County grand jury, it was learned.
The New York Post said the!
subpoenas were served as part of1
a secret two-month investigation
by Hogan into underworld connec-
tions with boxing. The newspaper
said subpoenas also have been
served on a number of key Mafia
figures know to be prominent in
gambling operations.
The Post said the investigation
aparently is not aimed specifically
at Monday night's fight or its out-
come.
There was a report bookmakers
stopped taking bets after the odds
favoring Benvenuti had gone up
from 7-5 to 12-5. There supposed-
ly was little money bet on Tiger,
the upset winner. This indicated
no betting coup was involved.
"I don't know what it's all
about," said Benvenuti, whose
right hand was in a cast. "We will
cooperate.
"I haven't the slightest idea of
what it's all about," said Harry
Markson, the Garden's boxing di-
rector. "Nobody in our office has
been served.
The New York Athletic Com-
mission declined comment on the
reports.
Dr. Kazuo Yanagisawa, an or-
thopedic specialist who set the
hand, said it will take from three
to four months to heal.
This will put off Benvenuti's
next title defense. His six months
period of grace to defend the 160-
pound division title expires on
June 14. The World Boxing Asso-
ciation insists he must defend it
next against Luis Rodriguez, the
WBA's No. 1 contender.
)poenas
"It will probably be against
Rodriguez," said Nino, "but it
can't be for some time now."
Matchmaker Teddy Brenner
said he would like to put Tiger,
the former middleweight and light
heavyweight champion, against
Benvenuti in a title fight.
- "If Tiger can't make it, I'd like
to match Emile Griffith against
Rodriguez in a 12-round elimi-
nation bout in July with the win-
ner to take on Nino for the title,"
said Brenner.
Previously one of the fighters
originally scheduled to fight on
the Monday night card was ar-
rested.
Frankie DePaula and his man-
ager, Gary Garafola, both of Jer-
sey City, N.J., were arrested by the
FBI a week ago on charges of
stealing $80,000 worth of copper
from interstate shipments.
The arrest of the two, and three
other men, followed their indict-
ment by a federal grand jury in
Newark, N.J. The fighter and man-
ager were suspended by the New
York Athletic Commission. They.
are free on $25,000 bail each.
