MacArthur Does A Job
It's a good thing that old generals never die. Some fade away,
I guess, but Douglas MacArthur came out of obscurity long enough
to solve the track and field problem and save the 1964 Olympic
team from mediocrity.
The proposal which MacArthur rammed through in two days
was really not that surprising. It is basically the . same plan
arrived at with the aid of Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy last
Thanksgiving. The unhappy Amateur Athletic Union broke that
agreement at its conference, two days after it had been reached.
That further inflamed the issue and it looked for a while
that the Federation might stop at nothing less than complete
control. They could have done it,
but there was a problem with the
international sanction, which the
f AAU has, an it might have both-
ered the selection of the Olympic
team.
- Michigan track coach Don Can-
... ham, the executive secretary of
the Track Coaches Association
M and a member of the Federation's
governing board, warns that the
AAU might try to do the same
thing again. It's possible, but Mac-
Arthur has promised to remain
on, the job to administrate the
compact.
The key point in the plan is that
eligibility for the next Olympics
will be determined by a board
composed of three members each
from the Federation and AAU.
The AAU loses here. and after the
Olympics, the AAU may lose the
DON CANHAM international sanction to a coali-
tion of the two forces. This coal-
tion was included in the Kennedy pact (the AAU denied this) and pres-
ent plans are for the President to call an athletic conference after the
Olympics. That's why the AAU is still unhappy.
The AAU isn't finding much sympathy in its final throes. The
organization has nothing left but that sanction. The college coaches
deserted last spring, when Canham conducted a poll and found 90
per cent of them in favor of a federation movement. The high school
coaches, the big name independent athletes, and the NCAA joined
to leave the AAU virtually without a membership to represent.
Two weeks ago the NCAA and ECAS suggested their member
schools boycott the AAU indoor meets to emphasize the Federa-
Ftion's control of the sport. It worked to the extent that the first
two big Indoor meets, the Los Angeles Invitation and the Knights
of Columbus meet at Boston, were total flops. Since the Mac-
Arthur-imposed peace, track fans (I'm told there are some) have
been able to watch the assault on the pole vault record among
other attractions.
If the AAU remains quiet, we may even see the athletes come
back into the spotlight. It must have been a tiresome business to
them and probably snuffed out more than one budding career. There
are already too many diversions for track stars, like making money,
without having administration troubles.
MacArthur deserves two or three bows for his job-even if he
is a Republican.

MSU Tied for Third
Despite Short Team
'M' Seeks Third Conference Win
Sore-Ankled Harris Might Sart
By DAVE GOOD
They're not laughing at Michigan State any more--least of all
Michigan Coach Dave Strack, whose basketball team faces the Spar-
tans tomorrow over a regional television hook-up from East Lansing
at 4:30 p.m. (channel 2).
When Spartan Coach Forddy Anderson promised at the beginning
of the season to field a starting team without a man over 6'3", nobody
thought he could get away with it.
They were sure of it after Michigan State struggled to a 1-5
non-conference record and then dropped its Big Ten opener to Indiana.
Familiar Name
Since then, however, the big man has come onto the scene and
inspired the Spartans to win three of their last four games, in-
cluding a 61-59 upset of Minnesotak'
As brain activity relaxes some-
what after the optimal stimula-
tion of final exams, Big Ten
basketball resumes with a flurry
of games this Saturday.
The premier attraction for
Michigan fans will, of course, be
the intrastate contest between
Michigan and Michigan State at
East Lansing. In other games
around the Midwest Northwestern
takes on the rejuvenated Hoosiers
of Indiana, Branch McCracken's
boys boast an undefeated record
in league play, thanks to the
shooting of the splendid splinter
Jimmy Rayl and his scoring side-
kick Tom Bolyard.
In another skirmish on the
Western front Ohio State jour-
neys to Purdue. The Boilermarkers
have an outstanding sophomore in
Bill Jones to throw against Gary
Bradds, the human helicopter, who
ranks just behind Rayl in league
scoring. Mel Garland and Tom
Hughes give Purdue a sizeable
scoring advantage at guard. Gar-
land, a junior from Indianapolis,
ranks fifth in Big Ten scoring.
In the other scheduled game
Minnesota hosts Wisconsin, Mich-
igan's opponent on Feb. 4.
Wisconsin, touted for Big Ten
prominence before the season has
yet to regain the momentum
which carried them last season.
Jack Brens has led the Badgers
in scoring, but will be up against
a lot of height at Minneapolis.
Eric Magdanz, not scoring as
much as last year, has still con-
tributed the crucial points for the
Gophers. Terry Kunze gives the
Northmen perhaps their finest
guard prospect si n c e Johnny
Kundla, the Minnesota coach,
played.

The magic ingredient? Ted Wil-
liams, a 67' senior center who
became eligible just in time to
point the Spartans toward a re-
spectable season. He scored 14
points in his first outing, A win
over Wisconsin, and has helped
out considerably since then in both
scoring and rebounding.
Williams' name should be famil-
iar to Michigan fans of two years
ago. He's the one who wrecked the
Wolverines in East Lansing-by tak-
ing down 25 rebounds in a Mich-
igan State win. In last year's'
game he lost his starting job to a
6'9" sophomore named Fred Tho-
mann, who scored 22 points in that
one but has been a reserve this
year.
Little Guys
MSU's other front-liners besides
Williams are Pete Gent, a 6'3" for-
ward who leads the team in con-
ference scoring, and Bill Berry, a

To Badgers
Michigan cagers will meet the
Badgers of Wisconsin this Monday
night on the Yost Field House
night at Yost Field House.
Michigan, which won only five
Big Ten games last year, swept
both games with Wisconsin.
Wisconsin, possessing primarily
the same personnel which finish-
ed behind Ohio State last year in
the Big Ten, is presently 1-2 in
the conference. They are paced
by two former Illinois all-staters,
Ken Siebel, a 6'4" forward and
Jack Brens, 6'8" center.
Michigan's next home game will
come against' Indiana Feb. 9.

BACK IN ACTION-Michigan forward John Harris (33), jumping
over Texas Christian's 6'10" Archie Clayton (55), has recovered
from an ankle sprain he suffered in December. He now has ripped-
a toenail but should still be in good condition against Michigan
State tomorrow. Harris, at 6'5" and 185 lbs., is the team's second-
leading rebounder behind Bill Buntin. Also shown is Michigan's
Larry Tregoning (35).

You're going to want to take it
