___THE MICHIGAN DAILY
'M' Downs
GrowinUp
A national magazine, which shall go nameless to avoid em-
barrassment, recently offered a humorous question. If, the editors
wondered, all little boys want to be baseball players when they
grow up, what do. baseball players want to be when they grow up?
It's mentioned here because graduation is near and the question
very easily applies to sportswriters-perhaps more so. With sports-
writers, however, the question is usually when, rather than what if.
Usually, this time of the year is reserved to such pressing matters
as prognasticating about the baseball team,, or, more importantly,
beginning to evaluate the fall football prospects. (Alumni are ,for
some reason, persistently inquistive about this matter.)
Now I would hate to think that I am growing up, but as I
write this last little bit, my thoughts are straying to what seems
to be a higher level. The crisis revolves around the ever-growing
fact that college sports are no longer fun.
They are a business, and a big business at that.
Perhaps it just took a little longer for us at Michigan to realize
and acknowledge it, but the recent $12 levy for football tickets
certainly took care of any remaining dissenters. I used to joke that
I originally joined The Daily sports staff to save money on sports
events. Just think--people used to laugh.
The 12 Excuse.. .
The $12 athletic ard can only be justified because Michigan
definitely needs a new Field House and because Michigan was
previously in a minority concerning student fees. This is no real
justification for the fee, however. It is but an excuse for the ever
oincreasing costs of the athletic departments. The Michigan athletic
department once not only supported itself, the physical education
department and the intramural program, but also had enough money
left over to build the necessary facilities. Now, due to the spiraling
costs, recruiting being the largest single factor, the receipts are
barely enough to meet the yearly operating costs.
Not only is the athletic department asking the students to
finance a basketball arena, but it is also requesting the Regents
to take over the financing of the intramural program. The prob-
lem won't end here and it's a safe bet that the athletic cards
won't disappear.,
.Accompanying the increasing costs is the increasing pressure
brought to bear on collegiate sports-pressure on the players to
live up to their scholarships, pressure on the coaches to fill the huge
stadiums, pressure on the athletic departmene to publicize and re-
cruit, and pressure on the newspapers to cover the colleges.
There has been criticism this year of The Daily's inadequacy
in the area of intramural coverage. I have argued that it required
the full-tiie effort of our staff to even give minimal coverage to.
the million-anal-a-half dollar business that is Michigan sports. Since
ours is supposed to be a part-time job, it requires about five reporters
to do the job that one Detroit reporter could. Even with our proximity
to the scene, it was often difficult to match the coverage professional
papers give to college sports.
Unemployment Eve .. .
So on this eve of passing on to a higher level of unemployment
I am bothered by this decay which leads the athletic department
farther and farther away from the University.
Fortunately Michigan still retains some of the qualities which
make college sports a pleasure to cover, rather than a job. Minor
sports have remained high in importance to help take some of the
importance away from football and basketball, and there is still
an emphasis placed on education of the athletes.
I conclude this last column with the hope that Michigan will
lead the way back to the time when an unknown could come
out of the student body to star on the football team; or when
you could call it your football team, rather than referring to it
as so many hired hands; or when you could watch your team'
play without buying a ticket.

Yost served as acting manager
against the Chicago White Sox
Wednesday night while Hodges
watched with Selkirk.
Vernon, the only manager the
new Senators have had since they
were established in 1961, will re-
main as administrative assistant
to Selkirk.
Under Vernon, the Senators fin-
ished last in the two seasons since
the old Washington team moved
to Minnesota. Currently the Sena-
tors are in the league cellar, hav-
ing lost nine of their last 10
games.
"I expect Gil to get our club
hustling," Selkirk said, "but I
don't anticipate that he'll achieve
the impossible. Hodges was ac-
quired with a long-range program
in mind."
Delay Intent
Letter Ruling
TEMPE, Ariz. tom)-Athletic di-
rectors of the six Western Athletic
Athletic Conference schools voted
yesterday to table action on a
proposed interconference letter-of-
intent agreement until their De-
cember meeting.
In the recent, Big Ten spring
meetings, the letter-of-intent rule
was approved. A number of con-
ferences have not yet agreed
The conference had been asked
to join several other conferences
in a letter-of-intent pact.
Don Smith, conference director
of information, said there was no
strong feeling for or against such
an agreement, but the athletic,
directors felt they should work out
an agreement within the confer-
ence first.

Gary Mouw was elected captain
of the golf team for next year at
the players' meeting held yester-
day afternoon.
Mouw, a two year letterman,
finished tenth among the field last
week in the Big Ten Golf meet
with 305 strokes. Although he did
not go on the annual spring trip
this year, Mouw defeated two op-
ponents and tied with one in dual
meet competition by the conclu-
sion of the season.
Mouw will be succeeding this
year's captain Chuck Newton, who
placed third in the conference
tournament.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Scholarships should certainly be reduced in size and number
across the nation and the need factor should be enforced. The idea
of a scholarship is to help an athlete attend college, not as a reward
for athletic ability. I hope no one construes this to mean; that I
concur with Avery ' Brundage's definition of amateurism, because
I don't. A professional is a person who signs a contract, everyone
else is an amateur. I would allow the athletes to earn money in
their sport, but I don't think it should be the colleges that do the
paying.
Perhaps now that the students have been asked to become
stockholders in the Michigan Wolverine Co., they can demand a "say
and help direct the course.
This semi-professionalism (meaning that everything is pro-
fessional except you don't have to give the athletes a salary) has
caused a lot more harm than good.
Take my case for instance. It might have been nice to go to
school, seeing that I was in the area for four years.,
