-# Temporary knm-Sahn-it By Billy Sohn Billy and Willie.. Two of baseball's best gone ILLY MARTIN AND WILLIE MAYS have done a service to sports writers this week. The recent controversies surrounding both figures has enabled writers to continue to turn out baseball copy this late in the year, stealing valuable space from basketball, hockey and football. Martin and Mays were both forced out of baseball this week, each for different reasons. Nevertheless, in spite of two starkly different philosophies, both have reached similar conclusions. Bye, Bye Billy Billy Martin, the infamous manager of the former world champion New York Yankees, is unemployed once again. For the second time in less than two years, Martin's employment with the club has been terminated. For the fifth time in a career punctuated by punches and drinking, Mar- tin is out of a job as'manager. His three othier stints came with Minnesota, Texas and Detroit. Martin's charge, he slugged a marshmallow salesman and landed him in the hospital with 15 stitches in his lip. Martin, at first claimed he didn't do it. But the innocent-boy routine did not sit well with principle owner George Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner called him out-out of a job. Now here's a guy, managing a professional baseball team acting as a professional himself. But there's no room for his antics on or off the field. Steinbrenner should have realized that Martin would not change the.first time he left the Yankees. Instead, he was rehired only to be fired again. It's unfortunate, but you bet your dollar that Martin will be back in another dugout. Martin's too good to be away from the playing field for too long. But the said fact is that he'll never change, as he claimed when Stein- brenner rehired him. He'll always be a fighter and a squabbler. Billy simply cannot handle relationships of the human kind. He can manage superbly from a dugout, but life is not a dugout. Away from the ballpark and its secure environment, Martin is bound to end up in some trouble. It's his nature. Maybe now Martin will realize that managing your- self is completely different from managing a group of ball players. On the field, you can employ the hit-and-run, but off the field you can't. The truth always hurts. For the fans Unlike Martin, whose difficulty with people cost him his job, Willie Mays lost his this week for the opposite reason, because he is seemingly too good with people. Willie's life of baseball, all those spectacular catches and homeruns, has been to satisfy one customer only, the fans. His playing days and those in retirement were devoted to them. But in all his ill-wisdom,- bar' ~om- missioner Bowie Kuhn told Mays he It . the game if he followedi through with his career plans. Mays, formerly of the San Francisco; Giants, held a public relations job with the New York Mets 'and hoped to' continue it. But when Kuhn got wind of Mays' new business adventure with a casino firm in Atlantic City, Kuhn gave him the ultimatum of either staying with the Mets or leaving the world of baseball.- Mays is incredibly good for baseball. It's a Willie Mays tremendous loss not only for Mays himself, but for all fans of the sport. It's too bad that Kuhn took his stubborn stand, for it's Mays' dismissal that tarnishes the game. Bally Manufacturing Company, owner of a boardwalk hotel and maker of pinball and slot machines offered Mays a $100,000 a year job with escalating pay to become a special assistant in community relations. Kuhn ruled that "he could not take money from two places," so Mays must leave the Mets. Kuhn's decision drew the line at orseracing, ruling that a baseball figure's involvement in casinos would not be tolerated. The commissioner ignored the (pet that gambling is legal in New Jersey, and that Mays' association will be in the area of relations, not actual gambling. The events resulted in an altogether embarrassing situation for a decent guy. Mays was thrown into the middle of a conflict. Besides, gambling is not illegal in New Jersey. Quoted in the New York Times, Mays said afterwards that, "I am not in- to gambling: The company is into gambling, not me. What skills do I have outside of baseball? Only public relations, dealing with people." Baseball has lost a great deal because of the commissioner's stand. Be thankful that Kuhn can toss Willie only out of baseball, but not out of the Hall of Fame. We're left then witra mis-behaving Billy Martin and a humiliated Willie Mays. Martin's approach to the game has been a rough one filled with tur- moil. lie has experienced numerous downs throughout his tenure, aggravating many people. Mays on the other hand has viewed the game as an arena for the entertainment of the fans. His job with Bally is just an ex- tension of his unique abilities to relate to people.- For the time being, both Mays and Martin are away from baseball, although their hearts aren't. These two totally different personalities have ironically ended up in the same position: each was searately told to leave. COOL, CALM, COLLECTED: Freshman Diemer By MARK MIHANOVIC He's short, thin, and painfully quiet. He almost seems meek. But freshman Brian Diemer has asserted himself on the cross country course, coming out of nowhere to become one of the top three runners on the men's squad. As coach Ron Warhurst proclaims, "He lets his feet do his talking!" Diemer's original goal for the season was to be among the top nine harriers on the team southat he would be on the traveling squad. Last Saturday, Diemer finished third in the prestigious Central Collegiate Conference Cham- pionship at Western Michigan, making it certain that Warhurst will take him anywhere he wants to go. DIEMER'S TIME of 24:09 over the 8000-meter course placed him right behind Michigan's ace reunner, Dan Heikkinen. Junior Dave Lewis had been the number two man, but minor in- juries have slowed him recently. "He's been a pleasant surprise," Warhurst said of his freshman phenom. "We've had little nagging injuries to some of our runners, and he's really taken over and done the job. "He's number two right now because Dave Lewis got hurt last week," Warhurst continued. "He could be third or second or first; it's hard to tell what's going to happen in the big ones. I just hope he keeps running as well as he has." DIEMER SEEMS almost awed by his own improvement. "I can't believe it. It's just happened so fast; I haven't even thought about it," he said. Success is hardly a new experience for Diemer, however. In his senior year in high school, he won the Michigan ClassB state cross country champion- ship. He also excelled in track, winning move, hi do well i "Now Danny Warhurs well nov Donakov they wi The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 1, 1979-Page 9 makig tracks e has had to change his style .O IN A SPORT such as cross country, ntbilagoruoes ofhee where the emphasis is on individual Brian sort of keys off where performance, upperclassmen often is and stays behind him," resent the sudden success of an upstart st explained.

"Brian has the type of personality that allows it. Whenever you get a freshman in there running well,s it keeps the upperclassmen ts his feet do his talk- honest." Despite his unassuming personality, -Ron Warhurst, Diemer has an inner confidence unusual in freshmen. He's:cool, his pre- cross country coach race trademark is a stone-face. "I'M SURE DEEP down inside he's nervous, but he never seems like he's going to lose his head," Warhurst said. "Did you tell him how nervous you get before the races?" the team's trainer jokingly asked Diemer. 't bellere it. It's just hap- "Really, I wish you could rub off on so fast; I haven't even some of the other guys." Diemer's mettle is sure to be tested it about it." Saturday in the Big Ten Championships -Brian Diemer in Columbus. "I definitely think he'll finish in the top eight in the Big Ten meet," Warhurst predicted. "He's made steady improvement this year. He'll probably be the best freshman ii e Michigan records in the 500- the Big Ten meet." 00-meter track races, McGuire DIEMER IS A pre-business'student All-American in cross country, in LSA, but is business Saturday will be er is a former AAU cross coun- to finish as high as possible in Colum npion. bus.

(AP)-The college that has won more games, } scored more points and produced numerous All-Americans is on the verge of another football milestone. Yale University, which pioneered the game in the person of Walter Camp, is one victory away from 700 wins. The New Haven school is actually on a historical fulcrum. Its next loss will be the 200th in its 107 years of competition. "We're thinking 700, not 200," said Yale Coach Carmen Cozza this week. "It's a great honor to have the chance to lay claim to such an impressive j milestone," said Cozza. "The fact that our first crack at the mark will come in such a crucial game for us seems very appropriate as well." The Elis play at Cornell Saturday in a game that may decide the Ivy League race. Yale, the last unbeaten major college team in the East, leads Cornell by one game. Yale's 699-199-53 record is impressive in light of the fact that its nearest rivals are Harvar, ,d Princeton with 629 victories, followed by Penn (615), Michigan (612), and Notre Dame (605). Those figures include victories in bowl games. Camp heads a long list of Yale greats. The 1880 graduate played on teams that posted a 36-1-5 record and later coached for five years with a 67-2 won-loss mark. But more importantly, Camp was the "father of American football." He is credited with reshaping what was essentially English rugby into American football. For instance, he developed the concept of the play from scrimmage, the quarterback and the first down rule. From 1879 to 1925, Camp participated in every major change in the sport's rules. A total of 22 Yale players are members of the National Football Foun- dation Hall of Fame, more than any other school in the country.
