"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. x-late game not included Yesterday's Results Baltimore at Seattle, inc.

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. ** * * " MADRID, Spain-Avery Brundage, president of International Olympic Committee, warned the International Ski Federation yes- NEW YORK (P)-Middleweight champion Nino Benvenuti of Italy,; who was upset by 12-5 underdog7 Dick Tiger Monday night, man-i ager Bruno Amaduzzi, Tiger andI several figures in boxing have1 been subpoenaed in a grand jury! investigation, it was learned yes- terday., District Attorney Frank Hogan'sj office declined to comment on thel 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. 4 Lefty Phillips AIRPORT LIMOUSINES for information call 971-3700 Tickets are available at Travel Bureaus or the Michigan Union 32 Trips/Day i -Associated Press Michigan man makes good Ted Sizemore, ex-Michigan baseball player has made the big leagues in an odd way.
