The veteran Wolverine mat aster has the touch: Keen's ams have won 10 Big Ten titles nd have 31 times finished in the p three since he took over the aching reins back in 1925. Come and Go Stars may come and stars may , but each, time wrestling season lls around Michigan is well- ocked. Take this year for exam- e. Gone: Fritz Kellermann, ree-time conference champion, ad Don Corriere, Big Ten titlist 167-lbs. Here: a host of mat- ,ppy sophomore talent to supple- ent an already-solid veteran nu- eus. Michigan wrestling fans got a ok at Keen's new soph stock last iturday, and they got quite an eful. They watched Rick Bay, Bill nes, Dave Dozeman, and Chris owell (who got Michigan's first 62-63 pin) lead the Wolverines an 18-10 win over Northwestern the Big Ten .opener. And all the sadists watched Lee itrick flattened out on the mat ter Northwestern's Mike Allen anted a knee to Dietrick's mid- ction. Come Back An ignoble start against the me crowd for a sophomore, to sure. But Deitrick, one of Coach en's most brilliant prospects, t up off the mat after a mo- ant's repose and promptly man-1 ndled Allen for an 8-4 decision. le 147-lb. Wolverine newcomer's ni tied the meet score up after' chigan had trailed, 6-3.1 Deitrick got off to a tough start his collegiate debut, losing at ledo in a pre-season match and1 en nipped against Penn State, 1, in the season opener. But then in a stunt that he himself calls "unbelievable," the Lock Ha- ven, Pa., soph grabbed a first place for the Ann Arbor crew in the Wilkes Tournament, flatten- ing Navy's Bob Sanders in the finals, 8-3. (Sanders had defeated John Zolicoff, who won the event last year, 3-2). The biggest win in the tourney, though, according to Deitrick, was a 5-4 decision over Bill Trexler, formerly of Maryland and na- tional YMCA champion. Trexler fell, 5-4. Win at Pitt Into winning stride, Deitrick picked off a 5-3 win against Pitts- burgh, an escape and take-down bringing him from the lower half of a 2-1 deficit. Deitrick got started on wrestling in the eighth grade - and in four years he was Pennsylvania state champ at 133 pounds. He credits it to his good high school coaching, but whatever the case, his quick- ness and strength are bound to be a great asset to Keen's lineup. "For a sophomore he's doing well," says the head coach. "I've seen Big Ten champions start the same way. After those first two losses he's really been improving." Assistant Coach Doug Blubaugh echoes the same. "He's really com- ing along - and doing a lot of work on his own."

As for wrestling here at Michigan: "I love it." Well crunched after that knee to his gastrointestinal tract last Saturday, Deitrick really came forth with a champion effort to defeat NU's.Allen. A hearty breed, those grapplers. Michigan's wrestlers are inac- tive until Feb. 2, when they travel to Minneapolis to take on Minne- sota's Gophers. Their next home meet is Feb. 9 with Ohio State. SOPH STAR-Lee Deitrick hauls down Northwestern's Mike Allen in Michigan's 18-10 Big Ten debut Saturday. Deitrick won here, 8-4, for his second straight dual-meet victory. He took a first place at the Wilkes Tournament earlier this year. Deitrick is another of Coach Cliff'Keen's sopho- more finds who promises to be of great help to the Wolverines in the future. WILSON, BUSHNELL AAU Accuses Pair of INCAA. Leanings itiator of Rule Explains iotball Sulbstitution Change W YORK P)--College foot- new free. substitution rule not presage a return to the tricted platoon system, one e rule's main architects in- i yesterday. a college coach thinks the rule gives him license to with strict offensive and de- re units as he could 10 years he may be in for a shock," Dave Nelson, head coach of vare University in Newark, No Specialists "We are not returning to the era of the specialist, the half- football player. Coaches will have to continue teaching the boys on both offense and defense and we still must have, with a few excep- tions, a team of complete players." NCAA Secretary Nelson is secretary of the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associ- ation rules committee which over the weekend overhauled the sub- stitution rule among other changes for the 1963 season. "I was surprised in reading the reaction to the rule to find so many coaches who felt this was move back to the free-wheeling days of 1952," Nelson said from his Delaware office. Main Provisions Main provisions of the new rule are these: 1) Unlimited substitution may; be made by either team during all time outs except on fourth down or on the down immediately after, the ball changes hands. 2) On fourth down or on the down immediately following change of possession, a team may substitute two players or more on a "wild card" basis. Under the rules last year there was a limit to the number of times a player might re-enter a game and a wild card substitute could be inserted at any time. Un- der the free substitution rule, abandoned after the 1952 season, a coach could substitute any num- ber of players at any time. "When the rules committee pre- pared to draft the new rule it was directed to try to meet three main objectives," Nelson explained. No More Messengers "One was to do away with hav- ing to record every substitute, another was to eliminate the mes- senger service a coach sending in a play on every down and the third was to retain the necessity to coach both ways (offense and defense). "The free substitution rule elim- inated the first of these problems. By limiting the two wild card men to two particular downs we got' rid of the second. Restriction on wholesale substitutions covered the third category. "Perhaps some coaches feel that the rule will give them a chance' to turn out specialized offensive and defensive teams, as in 1952, but they would be taking a great risk. "For example, suppose I have my offensive team on the field and am trying to move the ball from deep in my own territory. Suddenly, I lose the ball through] a fumble or an interception. I Stuck on DefenseI "Unless there is a time out, I can only send two men into the game, so I am stuck with the situ- ation of defending my goal with nine men who haven't been taught defense. If my time outs are ex- hausted, I might never get my de- fensive team back in the game." CHICAGO (P)-Two high rank- ing officials of the U.S. Olympic Committee were accused by the AAU in a report yesterday of sid- ing with the NCAA and thereby jeopardizing their jobs. They are Kenneth L. (Tug) Wil- son, former Big Ten commissioner, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Asa Bushnell, sec- retary. Bushnell also is commis- sioner of the Eastern College Ath- letic Conference. Hull Accuses The charge that they supported the NCAA-backed federation move and may lose their positions was reported by Chicago's American as made by Col. Donald Hull, AAU executive director. "By doing so they violated in- ternational rules, which say that support may not be given to any group other than that which is' recognized for international com- petition, namely the AAU," thej newspaper quoted Hull as saying. "They can't seem to divorce' themselves from the NCAA in this matter, and they could lose their jobs on the United States Olympic Committee." Wilson Skeptical Wilson said he was trying to4 reach Hull by telephone in New York "to hear such a charge from his own mouth." Bushnell, vacationing in Ari--t zona, and Hull were not immedi- ately available for comment. But Avery Brundage, president of the International Olympic Com- mittee, told The Associated Press: "I have heard criticism that some Olympic officials are being parti- san. But I have tried to stay outt of the bitter dispute between thet AAU and NCAA. "There is, however, such a rulek referred to by Hull in his reportedt charge." Prepare for Meeting1 Meanwhile the AAU and NCAA1 were laying ground work for their weekend meeting with Gen. Doug- las MacArthur in New York in an effort to follow President Ken-i nedy's request to arbitrate thet controversy over control of U.S amateur sports. Typical of how track plans can be caught in the middle of the hassle are those of Ted Haydon, University of Chicago track club coach. He is planning for the ninth annual Chicagoland Open meet in the university's fieldhouse Saturday. Many colleges in the area are interested in sending their ath- letes to the meet. Should Recognize USTFF "The University Track Club is an AAU club operating in the fa- cilities of the university which is a member of the NCAA, one of the constituents of the U.S. Track and Field Federation," Haydon said. "We recognize that the AAU has sole authority to sanction open competition in the U.S. by virtue of its membership in the Interna- tional Amateur Federation. Buc we also feel that we should rec- ognize the U.S. Track Federation's right to sanction participation in meets by its members. "We want dual sanction, but the AAU has refused its sanction if the federation sanction is obtain- ed. No Sanction Needed "Unless dual sanction is given. thus preventing any ineligibility rulings of the athletes by the AAU, we plan to bypass the whole sit- uation by holding a practice meet which does not need any sanction. No medals, no scores, no entry fees and no admission charges will be involved. The boys want to run and they'll just come here to do that." Among members of the Univer- sity of Chicago Track Club are two former Olympians, hurdlers Willie Mays and sprinter Ira Muchison, as well as Brooks Rob- inson, one of the country's ace sprinters at present. One Meet So Far The only dual sanctioned trackC meet held thus far was the track club on Dec. 20.
