DESIRE KEY FACTOR:
Goac
By RICH GOODMAN
The most important reason for
Lee Deitrick's success as a Michi-
gan wrestler is probably that as!
an individual he has always want-
ed to do well in his chosen sport.
This statement is not just a
platitude thrown in to cover Deit-
rick's three-year career (which
includes a Big Ten Championship
last year among other things).
His desire to win includes the
ability to accept responsibility,
work with and listen to others,
and the development of a win-
ning attitude.
Deitrick went to Lock Haven'
High School in Pennsylvania and
wrestled there for five years. He
was district champion his junior
year, and he took the state title
in his senior year. He also played
football and track, but his main
interest was wrestling: "If I play-
ed football now I'd play much
harder than I did in high school.
You know you always have it
in the back of your mind that
you might get hurt . . .it's strange
too, but that's when you always
do seem to get injured."
Why He Came
Lee Deitrick came to Michigan
because he was impressed by the
coach, the wrestling tradition, and
because he went to a class. Besides
the ordinary interview given to
recruits, Deitrick also attended a
class in mathematics:

Teammates Aid Deitrick Success
"They usually don't take you to
a class, but I went. I'm interested
in math, and the class just hap-
pened to be a math class."
The coach Deitrick was impress-
ed with is Clifford Keen who has
been coaching Michigan wrestling
teams for the past forty years.
"The coach," comments Deitrick,
"knows just about as much wrest-
ling as any man in the country.
The thing about him is that he
lets you sample a lot of material
and then you choose what you
think suits you best."
Cool Coach
Anyone who has attended a
Michigan wrestling meet will at-
test to the fact that Keen appears
completely relaxed during the
meet regardless of how close it is:
"The people watching may not
think he watches the matches
closely, but they're wrong. He
knows exactly what happens, and
the day following the meet he
needs working on." Big Ten opener, Deitrick drew

NEW YORK - The American1
Football League fell, in line with
the requests of the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association and
with the policies of the rival Na-
tional Football League yesterday'
by banning the premature sign-
ing of college players to profes-
sional contracts.
It refused, however, to delay its
annual draft meeting until after
the bowl games have been played
Dr to ban the signing of red-
shirts. The NCAA had asked both
leagues to take those steps to pre-

The wording of the AFL state-
ment issued by Commissioner Joe
Foss virtually duplicates that of a
similar statement made by NFL
Commissioner Pete Rozelle last
month. Both leagues agree not to
sign college seniors until their
teamschave completed the season,
including bowl games. And both
include redshirts who actually are
playing out their extra season of
college eligibility.
The AFL action came just be-
fore the deadline set by James J.
Corbett, Louisiana State Univer-
sity athletic director and chair-
man of the NCAA committee on
college-pro relations.
Kentucky Considers Negroes
LEXINGTON, Ky. Coach
Charlie Bradshaw of Kentucky
confirmed yesterday he is inter-
ested in one or more Negro players
for next season.
If a Negro is put on the team,
he would be the first in the South-
eastern Conference, the only ma-
jor college conference without ra-
cial integration.
The university's Athletic Asso-
ciation adopted an official policy
last year stating that race is not a
factor in membership on Ken-
;ucky's athletic teams. However, no
Negroes have been on the teams.
Bradshaw noted that Houston,
scheduled to play next fall at Mis-
sissippi of the SEC, has a Negro
on its team.
