THE MICHIGAN DAILY THE EXTRA POINT by JIM BERGER 'M' Nine Faces Stern Test add the magic of JAL to your Orient trip (4, P-I Michigan's progressive .Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics has struck again. It's now going to cost one dollar to see Michigan's basketball team perform at lovely Yost Field House. While my fraternity brothers called Mr. Crisler dirty names, and damned the new policy, I couldn't help but laugh when I think of the situation four short years ago. Then, if they charged as much as 25 cents, the Michigan cagers would have played for the bats. I remember those wonderful teams of Bob Brown and Scott Maentz and Charlie Higgs. Michigan was the joke of the Big Ten and nobody cared. Then there was John Harris and John Oosterbaan with Bobby Cantrell and still nobody cared. Then came Bill Buntin, and they started caring. Now they're charging one dollar to see the games. Why four years ago they wouldn't schedule a basketball game on the same night as a hockey game. Next year they won't schedule a hockey game the same night as a basketball game, and the hockey team is the NCAA champions. Football hasn't changed much in four years. The "champions of the west" have gone from bad to mediocre to terrible to mediocre. Two years ago I didn't think Michigan could beat Michigan State in my lifetime. The hockey team has gone from good to better. Red Berenson was the greatest, but when he left the team collapsed. This year, they brought Al Renfrew a much deserved NCAA title, although some people still don't know how they did it. Don Canham's track teams have to be the New York Yankees of the Big Ten-when the pressure is on they come through. They've nailed down at least one title in each of my four years here. The swimming teams have been brides maids for four years, constantly the second team in a one-team meet. The situation looks like it's starting to change, though. Michigan can boast one of the finest college coaches in the world in Cliff Keen. Nearing his 40th year as Michigan's wrestling coach, he's finished lower than third only twice. Newt Loken has started a dynasty at Michigan with his great gym teams. Although they lost at the NCAA's this year, I've seen three straight Big Ten titles and there will be many more to come. Bill Murphy's netmen have performed well. But, like the swim- mers, another team is just too strong for them. Marty Riessen graduates from Northwestern this year, so the tennis team will be contenders again. Then there are the golfers, Bert Katzenmeyers hapless golfers. Some day they'll be champions, but don't hold your breath. Before I complete this last sports story of my career, I have two final gripes. First of all, minor sports-all but football, basketball, baseball, and hockey-go through a lengthy and useless dual meet season be- fore the conference championships. These meets mean nothing. A team can lose everyone of them and if it wins the conference meet, it goes on the record books as a conference champion. It's like 12 ex- hibition games and one official game. Something should be done to give these dual meets meaning to the athletes and fans. Maybe the dual meets could count 50 per cent and the conference meet 50 per cent. Secondly, I'm in favor of the $1 for basketball tickets because I think the fans should pay to see such a great team. However, if the students are going to pay, let them have some efficiency. Let's hope they can buy a reserved seat and come to the game when it starts, not two hours before. The basketball ticket situation was pathetic this year. Let's straighten it out. Finally, thanks for suffering through my stories and especially this one. I hope I have made THE EXTRA POINT. By TOM WEINBERG When will the bubble burst? Or will it burst at all? This is a crucial weekend for the Michigan baseball team as it invades second-place Minnesota this afternoon for a single game, then flies to Iowa City to face the 1-5 Hawkeyes tomorrow. Clyde Barnhart, who has come up with two Friday afternoon com- plete game wins in the last two weekends of Big Ten action, will be on the mound this afternoon against the Gophers whose 5-1 mark places them closest to the Wolverines' perfect 6-0. The Gophers are by no means through after today, as Michigan State, also 5-1, comes in tomorrow for a big doubleheader. The Wolverines will face the Spartans in a special post-exam celebration next weekend. The traditional rivalry will be on dis- play at Ferry Field next Saturday at 1 p.m. in a doubleheader. Then a week from Tuesday, the Wolverines will journey up to East Lansing for the wrapup of the three-game set. In the Iowa twin bill tomorrow, Coach Moby Benedict is expecting to use righthanders Bill Wahl and Marlin Pemberton. Both juniors are 2-0 in the Big Ten and have each worked a pair of complete games. The Wolverines have raised themselves in the statistical de- partments of the Big Ten, but their season totals are not quite as impressive. In the conference, the Wolver- ines are third in hitting with a .259 mark. They lead in runs, fewet est runs permitted, are second in fewest errors committed, and also rank second in stolen bases. In the individual departments, only Ron Tate with a .353 in the Big Ten is among the ten leading hitters. Sophomore rightfielder Bob Gilhooley is the next Wolver- ine on the list with a .292 aver- age, good for 18th place. Dave Campbell is tied for the lead in home runs with two in the Big Ten, and Tate leads the' conference in stolen bases with four. His nine walks place him far and away in front of the rest of the conference. The Big Ten's leading hitter is Fred Reichardt of Wisconsin. The major league prospect has 13 hits in 22 times at bat for a .591 aver- age. Arnie Chonko, Ohio State's burly first baseman, and John Bie- denbach of Michigan State, are next on the list of hitters with even .500 marks.

Women apparently find them madly attractive, and men like their go-to-hell feel once they get around to wearing them. The trick seems to be in tying them; actually, there is nothing to it. All you do is slip the Ascot around your neck, inside the collar, and loop one end over the other below your adam's apple; and loop it twice so it won't slip down your chest after awhile. * It just so happens that, foreseeing this demand, we have gone into the Ascot game. You will find a nice selection at your Eagle Ascot store, which is the same store where you buy Eagle Shirts. * Not to change the subject, but this magnificent short-sleeve sports shirt at about $9.00 which we have portrayed here is an exclusive Eagle pattern in two-ply cotton oxford, and comes in blue, green, or burgundy stripes-alternating with skinnier black ones on an Eagle's Cream ground. * We also have a magnificent matching check; let's see if E WILD by PA LM LITG is a suit tailored impeccably with the exclusive "Contour Collar" for a perfect fit. This handsome blend of Dacron' polyester and wool worsted keeps you wrinkle-free, cool and comfortable-even on sticky days. Styled for quiet good taste in the traditional natural shoulder model with i
