But you felt smaller yet when the 7-foot plus high schooler brushed by you and you could swear his belt buckle was shining in your eye. That's the way it was at the Third Annual Basketball Banquet, which hosted 13 of the nation's top college basketball prospects, along with the number one college team of the 1964-65 season. The Wolverine squad and coach- ing staff received acclamation and awards from President Har- lan Hatcher, H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, and other special speakers . for their record-breaking season. Alcindor and Dick Grubar rep- resented New York high schools, while Ohio contributed Tarry Hisle of Portsmouth and Dave McClellan of Toledo. Chicago's Carver High, Cazzie's alma mater, sent Ken Maxey, and from Mar- ion, Ind., came Harold Curdy. Jerry King, from Louisville, Ky., and Dennis Stuart, Pennsylvania's player of the year, round off the out-staters. Michigan's baseball team held an intrasquad "doubleheader" yesterday, which was helpful but "inconclusive" according to Coach Moby Benedict. For the diamondmen it was the final spring tune-up of the season. They open their home schedule next Tuesday, hosting Western Michigan. The Big Ten opener against Wisconsin is just 12 days away. The game was the first really organized effort by the squad since the conclusion of the spring tour a month ago. Bad weather of course, has been the main factor behind the sparsity of intrasquad contests thus far. Divide Team Benedict divided the team into two groups, coaching one himself while assistant coach Dick Honig took over the chores for the others. The first contest was the feature attraction, and Honig's men capitalized on numerous errors to take a 9-8 decision. It was a see-saw battle though were Bob Read and Jim Lyijynen, Benedict felt that the sides were a pair of 19-year-old sophomores not as evenly matched as they who figure prominently in Bene- could have been. dict's plans for the upcoming Marlin Pemberton and Clyde season. Victimized by unearned Barnhardt were on the mound for runs, both hurlers impressed Benedict's team and Pemberton Benedict by showing "signs of was tagged with the loss. A senior, improvement." Pemberton has been somewhat of Lyijynen has been touted as a a disappointment this season, after compiling a 3-0 mark and a 2.21 earned run averaged last year. On the hill for the winners SPORTS SHORTS: Habs whip Leafs; Nick laus Leads MONTREAL (AP)-Bobby Rous- seau's tie-breaking goal in the third period paced Montreal to a 3-1 decision over Toronto last night, and moved the Canadiens within one victory of a spot in the final round of the National Hockey League playoffs. Thevictory gave the Canadiens a 3-2 margin over the Maple Leafs in their best-of-seven games Stan- ley Cup semifinal series. Rousseau snapped a 1-1 dead- lock at 7:30 of the third period and Montreal captain Jean Beli- veau scored an insurance goal- into an open Toronto net-with just 44 seconds remaining. * * * King: Diving Queen Mickey.King, a junior at Mich- igan, has taken second place in the Women's National, AAU three meter diving championships. Miss King turned in her performance Friday night in the meet being held in Los Angeles, Calif. The second place finish was es- pecially impressive because it was good enough to beat two Olympic diving champions. Miss King will be competing in the tower diving event this afternoon, before re- turning to Ann Arbor.

Nicklaus Leads Masters AUGUSTA, Ga.-Big Jack Nick- laus grabbed the Augusta National monster course by the throat and shook it to death yesterday with, a record-tying eight-under-par 64 which threatened to wreck the 29th Masters Golf Tournament. The superb round, featured by 300-yard drives and putts of! phenomenal length without a: single bogey, gave the Golden Bear of Columbus, Ohio, a 54- hole score of 202-five shots ahead1 of South Africa's Gary Player. Defending champion A r n o1 d' Palmer, the other member of the Big Three which started the day head-to-head, could do no better than par 72 on the warm, wind- less day for a 210 total, tied with 34-year-old Dan Sikes of Jack- sonville, Fla., for third place. No man has ever played the first 54 holes of the Masters bet- ter than Nicklaus did. The previous best total for three rounds was 205, made by Ben Hogan in his record year of 1953 and duplicated by Palmer in win- ning the third of his four titles in 1962. MARLIN PEMBERTON -Daily-Jim Lines TOP PROSPECT LEW ALCINDOR converses with former Michi- gan standout Ron Kramer, who is no shorty himself at 6'4". a I man who will give Mel Wakaba- yashi competition as well. Billy Zepp and Bill Wahl work- ed the second game, a seven in- ning affair. Benedict thought both hurlers turned in adequate jobs, though Wahl had control trouble. TV Gymnastics This afternoon at 2:30 p.m. CBS-TV will present video- aped highlightsofsthe NCAA gymnastics meet, held last weekend in Carbondale, Ill. At this m e e t three Michigan trampolinists, G a r y Erwin, Fred Sanders, and John Ham- ilton, finished among the top six contestants. After the game against West- ern, the squad duels Detroit in a double-header next Saturday. This game, like all of the Wolverines first five contests, will be played in Ann Arbor. LLOYD GRAFF Wheeling and Dealing In Bubble Gum IPS "I'll trade you two Andy Pafkos, a Billy Martin, and a Wes Westrum for your Ted Kazanski, Bobby Malkmus, and Jose Valdi- vielso." "No deal unless you throw in Jim Greengrass and a couple Wally Westlakes." "Look, instead of my Billy Martin I'll give you a real prize." "Spook Jacobs?" "I ain't even got a Spook Jacobs, but listen to this, I'll give you a Wayne Terwilliger, just to make a deal." "OK, it's a deal." Remember those baseball card negotiations in the schoolyard before the bell rang? The Rockefellers and Jay Goulds of the future were spawned in the horse trading of the second grade set. And remember the brittle pink slabs of chewy, but quickly tasteless Topps bubble gum? And how you used to store your cards in an old shoe box and count them every night before you went to bed to see if they were all there and plan the next morning's wheelings and dealings? And remember the waiting lines at Joe's school store where they sold delicacies like "dots," "Pez" (with their own dispenser), and acidic "Lickemade," that used to make your hands sticky and cause you grief every time the teacher called you to the blackboard. Joe used to sell Yo Yos when they were in vogue (Duncans were better than Cherrios because you could make them sleep longer), fake wax mustaches, and red lips too. But he made his big money on baseball cards. The tenseness when you unfurled the powdery wax wrapper and turned each of the five cards over; "Bob Will, Rocky Bridges, Lou Berberette, Clyde McCullough, and Gene Hermanski." And the letdown when you discovered you had doubles of every one except Bridges. But the heartache of a double or triple was quickly forgotten when you hit the schoolyard, heavily laden shoebox in hand, and a fellow broker greeted you with "I'm desperate for a Gene Herman- ski." The inner elation, and the steely outward expression slowly fused into a hustler's half smile. "What'll you gimme for him . . and make it good." And the ceaseless frenzied bargaining began afresh. Football cards could never make it big where I came from because it was tough to handle them with mittens. How could you trade when you couldn't leaf through your collection? Baseball was king. Remember the Alley Ball And remember the ball games we had. We city boys used to play in the alleys-a rock for first base, a candy wrapper for second, an old gym shoe for third, and a holey sock for the plate. We played with a rubber ball and if you hit it into somebody's back yard you were not only out, but you had to climb the fence and get it. This meant a vocal lashing by mean old people who didn't like kids climbing their fences and mutilating their roses, pansies, and sweet alyssum. And remember how the kid who's bat it was always wanted his little brother to play, and when you objected he politely threatened to take his bat and play elsewhere. And remember when you were in the Cub Scouts and the den meetings used to last nine minutes, and often less, at which point you would adjourn and forsake the wastebasket you were making out of a potato chip can in order to play ball. And remember how the odd guy either played for both teams or, if he was fat and couldn't hit, was relegated to the dubious position of umpire, with the injunction "to call 'em fair or else." And remember when you grew up and played league with a ball that was really hundreds of yards of filthy adhesive tape wound around an apple core. And remember how you always blamed it on your mitt when you dropped a lofty fly ball. And how the sun always got into your eyes when you misjudged a pop up, even on a dismally cloudy day. Heavy Bat Hypothesis And remember how you always used to swing a bat that you could barely even lift because you theorized that a weighty bat socked the ball further. And remember how you practiced a knuckle ball, screwball, palm ball, and fork ball because fastballs and curves could be thrown by anybody. To announce you'd mastered a knuckle ball, a pitch that had its own folklore and mystique, won you the awe of your buddies. And remember how you always got stomach aches, or foot cramps, or ear aches on opening day and when the World Series was played so you just had to stay home from school. And remember how your mysterious ailments used to get better just in time to play ball with the guys after dinner. And remember when the atomic bomb was only a vague mush- room that made a resounding CRBOOM in Yucca Flats?
