THE MICHIGAN DAILY M THROUGH THE BULL'S EYE ;. by Bill Bulard Ulniversity Help. Needed for .Arena; It will be a sad day for the University if the proposed field house is built with only 12,000 seats. ' :The Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics only has funds to finance the debt service on a $3.5 million building. Originally, the board thought a structure with 14,000 seats could be built for this price. But architects are now working on cost-cutting plans, including the reduction of the total number of seats to 12,000, in order to peg the price at a level that the board can afford. By any reasonable standards, a 12,000-seat basketball arena doesn't meet present needs let alone future needs. The construction of such a small arena would be an admission that the University is unable to pay for first-class athletic facilities. Minnesota's William's Arena with 18,000 seats is the largest college arena in the country. Illinois has just built its Assembly Hall with seating for 16,000. Thus, the original goal of a 14,000- seat arena would have put the University in a second-class -position. A 12,000-seat arena gets down into the substandard area in com- parison with other leading schools across the country. 20,000 Coupos-. . Worse than this is that the new field house will be obsolete before ground is even broken for construction. Yost Field House seats almost 9,000 so the extra 3,000 seats are some improvement. However, presently about 20,000 students, faculty, and employees have athletic coupons which enable them to buy basketball tickets. Demand from the general public is also heavy. With a student enroll- ment of over 45,000 estimated for a decade hence, the concept of a 12,000-seat arena bounds on the ridiculous.- As has been pointed out, the board is financially incapable of building a la'ger and more expensive arena. The board delayed making a definite decision to build the new arena long after the need was apparent because it didn't want to go ahead with plans before sufficient funds were available to construct one that would be large enough to fit future needs. The board needs help from the University in order to enlarge the seating capacity of the new arena. Traditionally, the University budget and the athletic budget have been totally separate. The athletic department receives a small amount per 'student out of tuition but otherwise is entirely self-supporting from its own revenues, primarily the receipts from football ticket sales. But if the athletic department can't maintain adequate athletic facilities, it will have to have to take a chance on losing some of its independence by seeking help from the University. Besides, the building will not be used just for basketball games. Commencement and other University functions will be held there. It seems only reasonable that the University help pay for a facility that will be used not just for athletic events .but for events of University-wide interest. I Despite the lack of initiative by the athletic department .in seeking financial help from the University, there has been a failure on the part of University administrators in taking concrete steps to help the athletic department. 'The one halting proposal for help was' lost or turned down somewhere in the maze of University bureacracy last spring. The idea was to have some of the items in the athletic budget such as some maintenance responsibilities for the intra-mural program transferred to the University budget. These items would have saved the athletic department approximately $100,000 a year which could have been used to finance a larger bond isstze than is presently planned. Resources Large .. ',The University has large financial resources although appro- priations from the state legislature have been significantly less than the annual request in recent years. Still, it would seem that the University should assume the responsibility for supporting an ad- equate athletic plant if the athletic department is not able to do this. Other schools increase the amount of tuition money allocated to their athletic programs as tuition increases and the needs of the athletic department grow. This has not happened at the University and it's about time that it did. The University is growing and it has many unmet needs to be taken care of. No one is trying to argue that the University should put the athletic building program ahead of faculty salary increases, library improvement, or any other essential need. But surely the new field house and other athletic plant additions in the future have some place in the overall list of University priorities. Read and Use MichiganDaily Cl assifieds Wolverines 'Sharper Offense' Pleases Ellio By SCOTT BLECH The Wolverine Blue team, show- ing a sharp offensive attack, ran away from the White defenders in yesterday's closed practice game in Michigan Stadium . The Blue squad, comprised of the first three teams, triumphed. 63-0. "We were much sharper offensively despite the lack of competition," Coach Bump Elliott commented after the game. "The purpose of the game was to work on our offense and to gain ex- perience in substituting p.erson- nel." Elliott added that the teams were not evenly balanced, but de- spite this the Wolverines displayed good blocking and an improved execution of offensive maneuvers. Quarterback Bob Timberlake led the third Blue team on a 75- yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes of the first half by continually stopping the clock with out-of-bounds plays. Elliott Impressed Elliott, when asked to comment on Timberlake's use of the clock, replied with a broad smile, "I was impressed." The Blue quarterback got the drive going by completing a 10-yard out-of-bounds pass to Craig Kirby on the White 33-yard line. Two plays later, Kirby snared a Timberlake pass at the 47 and stepped out of bounds to stop the clock with 1:09 left in the half. Sophomore back Louis Lee then dashed to the White 46, but was able to reach the sidelines to stop the clock with 59 seconds left. Timberlake then sprinted for a first down to the 39-yard stripe, reaching .the sidelines with 50 seconds left on the clock. After an incomplete pass, the Blue signal caller completely baf- fled the defense by sending Mike Bass off left tackle for a 16-yard gain down to the 23. Bass made it to the sidelines to stop the clock with 40 seconds left in the half. Timberlake then rolled to the right and fired a toucndown pass to Kirby in the end zone. Four Blue Quarterbacks Elliott also used Rick Volk, Pete Hollis and Wally Gabler at the Blue quarterback spot. Hollis con- nected with Dick Rindfuss for a 27-yard touchdown play at the beginning of the second half. The other seven tallies were scored on the ground as Wolverine backs saw plenty of action during the game. Sophomore Mike Bass, who pre- viously had seen mainly defensive action, broke loose on two occa- sions. Bass exploded through the White line for a 35-yard touch- down run down the right side- lines. The Ypsilanti speedster BOB TIMBERLAKE Jim Detwiler, a powerfully-built sophomore halfback, made quar- terback Gabler's signal calling easy at one point in the second half. The Blue team got the ball on its own 37-yard line. Gabler handed off to Detwiler who crashed through the right side of the line for a 14-yard gain to the White 49. The next play was to Detwiler, and again he blasted through the White line and went all the way for the touchdown. The other two tallies in the contest were scored by Barry Deh- lin and Gabler, five- and four- yard runs respectively. Although the Blue defense was not really tested, Elliott did sound pleased with the work of sopho- morelinebacker Frank Nunley. Nunley repeatedly brake into the White backfield to nail Frosty Evashevski or Jim Sieber for siz- able losses. Safety Dick Rindfuss had the longest run of the game, picking off an Evashevski pass on the Blue three-yard line. Rindfuss then sprinted 85 yards to the White 12, before Rick Ott tackled him from behind. Clancy Still Injured The disappointing morment of 'the day occurred when Elliott was asked about h al f b a c k Jack Clancy's back ailment. "It doesn't look good. He's out of the hospital but his back still bothers him. Right now it appears questionable whether Clancy will play this year." Clancy, who was a starting offensive halfback last season, suffered a back injury this summer and has been in traction the last couple of weeks. Besides Fisher, center Brian Patchen missed the scrimmage be- cause of a slight infection in his right arm. Both are expected to return to action in the next couple of _days. Tackle Bill Yearby suf- fered a shoulder strain in the c game so saw only limited action. Trainer Jim Hunt was quick to add that Air Force will definitely r' E c OPENER SATURDAY: 31' Soccer Club To Face Denison broke through the left side of the line in the fourth quarter and almost untouched, skampered into the end zone after a 44-yard run, Ward Runs Free Carl Ward continuously fought off defensive pursuers in the con- test. Mel Anthony's one-foot. touchdown pluige in the first quarter was set up by Ward's four-yard gain. Ward, trapped by two defenders in the backfield, broke toward the left sideline, stumbled, regained his balance and turned the corner, driving to the five. Ward also scored the final touchdown. of the day, sweep- ing left end with three blockers for a 37-yard dash to pay dirt. Anthony saw a lot of action be- cause of Dave Fisher's charley horse injury. Fisher did not ap- pear in the contest, but Anthony appeared as the bread-and-butter man in the first half, coming up with the five- and six-yard gains necessary to keep the offense moving. Michigan's soccer club takes to the field tomorrow against Deni- son in the first intercollegiate game in the club's history., The date set for the gamej was originally Sept. 26, but this was moved back one .week. to accom- modate Denison which had sched- uled a junior varsity game for that date also. "This is a rebuild- ing year for us," explained as- sistant coach Ted Barclay of Deni- son, "and we haven't the person- nel to play both a varsity and junior varsity game on the same Major league . . andings AMERICAN LEAGUE date." Denison finished the 1963 season with a 7-3 record, and is a perenial power in the Ohio Soc- cer Association. The date change leaves Michi-1 gan not quite ready for a full game, but "we'llbe giving them the best game we can" according to team captain Perry Hood. Five seniors are listed as start- ers for Michigan. Adolph Arm- bruster, 5'6" forward, will pace the offense, along with" outside for- ward Viggo Stoltenberg-Ijansen :The defense boasts three senior returnees in Pete Skoinik, Dick Scheer, and captain Hood. Last year's team compiled a 5-1 season mark in the International Centers student league, tying with the Greek students for the crown. Added to the defense this year are two freshmen, goalkeeper Pete Roeper and left halfback Mario Winter, an experienced player from Ann Arbor. Sophomore Dick Hendrickson fills out the defense at right fullback; with substitute players Dave Coghian and Chuck Wright ready to fill in when need- ed. Filling out the offense are sophs Don Alcorn and Warren Shear, and freshman Mike de Martelly. Denison figures to be Michigan's toughest opponent, accol'ding to Hood, as soccer has been a varsity sport there longer than at the tother four schools scheduled. This is the first year of intercollegiate play for the soccer club. ~~1 . _ I Spo rts Car Faiis ! s at Arborla nd Shopping Center (Northwest Parking Lot) Registration-] 1]:00 A.M First timed car-1:00 P.N New York Chicago Baltimore Detroit Los Angeles Cieveland Minnesota Boston Washington Kansas City W 86 88 88 77 76 74 74 66 57 54 L 59 61 71 74 72 74 83 92 93 Pct.
