THE MICHIGAN DAILY VOTMA' *.r w At -' - - ~x zuviirnx, O 19a, P. NCAA-AAU Feud Erupts Anew after Brief Truce Federation Charges AAU AlItered Plan Canham Leads Fight Against Milder Forn DETROIT MP)--The verbal war for United States track and field control flared anew last night with the NCAA's coaches federation charging a new coalition plan ap- proved by the AAU reneged on the original agreement. The AAU's 35-man executive board unanimously endorsed the track. and field coalition earlier yesterday and turned the plan over to its board of governors for expected approval tomorrow. Retain International Control The AAU plan emphasized that it will retain all control of U.S. participation in international com- petition. This brought a strong re- buttal from the U.S. Track and Field Federation consisting of coaches. T n _ _ "What the AAU presents has only one feature of the original agreement," said Don Canham, Michigan track coach and execu- tive vice-president of the Federa- tion. Two weeks ago the AAU and NCAA agreed at New York on a coalition plan designed to end 21/2 years of bickering and insure strong U.S. representation in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. Canham Denounces Plan Canham said a conference tele- phone call with other federation officials last night agreed the AAU-endorsed plan was unsatis- factory. He said the call was made among Bill Russell, Federation president and a district director of athletics in California; Chuck Werner of Penn State, Federation executive director and himself. "We agreed the New York coali- tion was based on five points," Canham said, "and anychanging and eliminating now changes the whole concept of the agreement. "The New York agreement was agreed upon again in Chicago only Tuesday." Canham listed the five points in the New York agreement as fol- lows: 1) A, coalition agreement be- tween the AAU and the Federa- tion. 2) That a coalition would be formed which would have equal numbers-a new group in which it would take a two-thirds majority vote to control. 3) In '1964 the new coalition would seek with the AAU's bless- ing to have the International Ama- teur Athletic Federation recognize the new coalition as the governing body of track and field in the U.S. 4) In turn, the Federation would not claim jurisdiction over open athletes. It would be educational only, and all other athletes would be under the AAU. 5) A coalition track meet would be held for the purpose of deter- mining national teams for interna- tional meets. The AAU's executive council an- nouncement said all track busi- ness of an international nature would continue to be conducted by the AAU. Affiliated with IAAF "We will stay as the governing body because we are the only American group affiliated with the IAAF," said Louis J. Fisher, AAU president from Hyde Point, N.C. The IAAF is the world govern- ing body for track and field.

The meet features most of the Big Ten teams, and other leading squads from throughout the Mid- west. Michigan, the defending Big Ten champs, and Southern Illinois are expected to make the strongest showings. Ready STRACK VIEWS CAGE CHANCES: 'Best Material I've Had' By DAVE GOOD "We've got some scores to settle this year," remarked Dave Strack quietly and without a trace of bit- terness yesterday. When he. succeeded Bill Perigo as Michigan basketball coach three years ago, Strack inherited the gruesome task of rebuilding a team which had managed some- how to lose 20 of 24 games the season before. "John Tidwell and the Seven Dwarfs," as the team was known in some quarters, had won their lone Big Ten game only on a 41- point performance by Tidwell against Michigan State. Under Strack, Michigan improv- ed its conference record to 2-12 in 1960-1961 and 5-9 last year and wound up with overall marks of 7-17 both years. Men in White Jackets After one game this year, an 80-64 exhibition win over the freshmen Tuesday, Strack is hard- ly ready to claim the Big Ten championship for his team ("I'd have to be crazy to say that," he laughs), but he does thing this year's edition will erase the door- mat label from Michigan basket- ball. Three-time Big Ten champion Ohio State has lost the nucleus of its team, so the conference race looks like dogfight to Strack. "Everybody's cautiously optimis- tic," he pointed out. "We are, too. This is the best material I've had since I've been here, but as to how they'll do in 24 games-I'm not that smart." Strack isn't making any predic- tions, but right now he rates the top five Big Ten teams like this: Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio State and Indiana. Could Be Explosive "But don't get the idea I'm try- ing to sell this team short. On any given night, we might be able to blow a team off the court. In fact, I'd be disappointed if we didn't. "Our problem is going get o consistently high performance," he added. to be tol level of everything we got," commented Strack. "Tom and John are going to get their share this year, but Bill isuthe one who really shakes them up. When he goes up there and wants that ball, he gets it." Strack feels he has good depth all along the line, but the key man may be sophomore center Bill Buntin, who contributed 21 points and 17 rebounds against the fresh- men. "He can be a fine player, but he's awfully green," Strack point- ed out. "He's potentially the best Michigan center since John Town- send, but of course he was before our time. (1936-38)." Up to Buntin Buntin (6'7", 230 lbs.) has an especially important responsibility in each of Michigan's first games, because Ball State, Creighton and Butler all have big centers of their ow nto throw up against him. Michigan's first foe of the reg- ular season, Ball State (here, 2 p.m. tomorrow), will match Bun- tin with 6'6", 205-lb. Ed Butler, a junior who averaged' 14.8 points and 17.4 rebounds last year. It will be up to Buntin to do as good a job on the boards against Butler as John Harris did last year, holding him to eight re- bounds. Buntin faces two of the best re- bounders in the country Monday night in Creighton's Paul Silas and next Saturday in Butler's Jeff Blue. Silas Another Lucas Silas, a 6'7", 235-lb. junior, was barely edged for last year's na- tional leadership in rebound per- centage by OSU's Jerry Lucas, but he did outscore Lucas, 22 points a game to 21.8. Blue is a stocky 6'6" and in clearing 23 rebounds against Mich- igan last year was one of the most physically punishing players the team met. This year, Buntin is flanked by the two best rebounders Michigan had last year, 6'7" Tom Cole and 6'5'? Harris, both forwards. "Last year we had to fight for SPORTS SHORTS: Triple A Units Reorganize To Two Loops ROCHESTER (M)-The Interna- tional League and the Pacific Coast League absorbed the Ameri- can Association yesterday and be- came two 10-club leagues in the most sweeping reorganization of the minors in baseball history. The American Association, a pil- lar of the minors since 1902, yield- ed Dallas-Fort Worth, Oklahoma City and Denver to the Pacific Coast. Little Rock, which had re- placed Louisville after the 1962 season, and Indianapolic moved into the reluctant International League, which finally gave in to pressure from the majors. Under the terms of a far reach- ing new deal for the minors adopt- ed today, the majors will under- write at least 100 minor league clubs in three classifications-- triple A, double A, and class A. NEW YORK (P-Major league baseball players and clubowners agreed yesterday to return to one All-Star game a season and it was learned the game would be played at St. Paul-Minneapolis on July 9. * ** PHILADELPHIA (P-The Phil- adelphia Tapers of the American Basketball League announced yes- terday the signing of Bill Chimie- lewski, star of Dayton's National Invitation Tournament Champions last year. HOUSTON (t)-The manager of Cleveland Williams, the fifth- ranked heavyweight, offered Cas- sius Clay $10,000 a round yester- day if he will fight Williams in Houston. "The offer is $10,000 for each round he can stay in the ring with Williams," Hugh Benbow, Williams' manager, said. The gymnasts have been working out since September, and prepared for this meet by holding three intra - squad competitions. The team views this meet as a warmup for their campaign to regain the Big Ten crown, and as a chance to see what the competition will be like. Michigan is counting highly on sophomore John Anderson. Ander- son's specialty is free exercise and tumbling. Observers close to the squad expect Anderson to place in both events. Leading the Wolverines point- scoring efforts in the meet will be Captain Gil LaRose, Arno Lascari and Jimmy Hynds. All three are seniors and lettermen and are expected to provide the bulk of the Michigan scoring. Weaker Fred Sanders will be competing in rebound tumbling for the Wol- verines. Michigan will be weakened in this event this year, because of the graduation of last year's cap- tain, Tom Osterland, and an un- fortunate head injury to Lew Hy- man. Michigan's all-round men are expected to score high in their specialties, too: Larose on the still rings, Lascari on the parallel bar and Hines on the high bar. In tumbling and free exercise, Barry Speiser will be competing along with Anderson. The meet is a big one with up to 60 entrants in each event. It will be necessary to run two events simultaneously, and even then the meet will take this evening and Saturday afternoon and evening to be completed. row with a series against Michi- gan State. The Wolverines downed the Chatham Junior Maroons 8-1 and the Toronto Blues 7-2 last Satur- day and Monday. Gary Butler proved the big gun in the Wolverine attack, scoring six goals and picking up three as- sists. He'll be playing on the first line with Gordie Wilkie and Dave Butts. On the second line, wings Jack Cole and Ron Coristine will be centered by team captain, Larry Babcock. Centering the third line will be. Tom Pendlebury; Roger Galipeau and John McGonigal will play the wings. Paired on defense are Ross Mor- rison and Don Rodgers and Wayne Kartusch and Dave Newton. Kar- tusch bruised his angle on the eastern tour and hasn't regained his top form yet, although he will play tomorrow. The M-MSU games are always rough-and-tumble affairs, but Michigan has managed to win most of them. The Spartans won't be as easy this year as they have been in the past. Led by All-American goalie Bob Chandik, the Spartans will ice a strong forward trio backed up by experienced defensemen. During their Thanksgiving exhi- bition tour, the Spartans defeated Clarkson College and split with St. Lawrence, last year's runner-up in the NCAA finals. Bessone will probably skate, as his first line, center Dick John- Hockey TicketsI Hockey tickets for the two weekend home games with Michigan State go on sale at 8:30 a.m. today at the Athletic Administration Bldg.

The second line will be the "FrenchrLine," held intact from last year. Its members are Real Turcotte, Claude Fournel, and Bob Doyle. The third line is still in doubt, with several sophomores fighting for two positions. SCORES NBA Syracuse 112, Chicago 85 NHL Montreal 4, Toronto 4 New York 5, Detroit 0 Chicago 5, Boston 0 Group Heads Give Consent To Coalition Anticipate Stronger U.S. Team as Result DETROIT (R)-A peaceful set- tlement to the long verbal war over the control of track and field came closer to reality yesterday when the AAU's top governing body endorsed a coalition plan with the NCAA. The AAU's 35-man executive board unanimously approved the coalition and submitted the plan to its Board of Governors. Auto- matic approval is expected by the governors tomorrow when the AAU's 75th national convention begins its general sessions. ,However, the AAU emphasized it will remain in control of Unit- ed States' participation in inter- national competition. "All business of an international nature will continue to be con- ductedb ythe AAU," the executive committee announced. AAU approval of the coalition virtually insures the U.S. of a strong team for the 1964 Olympic Games at Tokyo. There had been fears the squabbling whichthreat- ened to create a rash of conflict- ing meets sponsored by the triv- ial groups would weaken the American team. The AAU said the coalition would remain in effect at least through 1964. NCAA Must Approve The coalition still must receive NCAA backing before it can go into effect. The NCAA convention is in January at Los Angeles. But the college group, which supported its coaches'grecently formed U.S. Track and Field Federation, is ex- pected to vote on the coalition by mail. It was the Track and Field Fed. eration which led the battle against the AAU. The Federation's chief aim had been to get a say in the interna- tional track policies of the U.S. along with a say in what athletes are selected for *international meets. Hailed by AAU The coalition was hailed by the AAU as a harmonious solution to the 2%V2-year-conflict with the NCAA. "This coalition should elimin- ate all objections," said Col. Don- ald F. Hull of New York, executive director of the AAU. The AAU said there would be a coalition committee on which var- ious interested groups would have weighted representation in justly weighted numbers. These groups would include the NCAA, AAU, the small - college NAIA, high schools and the armed forces. "Various championships, such as AAU, NCAA and others would con- tinue to be autonomous," said the AAU's announcement. It said the AAU would continue to conduct its present national open championships. Until Saturday December TYPEWRITERS from $10 up SANDARD TYPEWRITER Clearance Sale 314 S. StateMO ULS 1st.
