A basketball game that holds
special interest for any Michigan
sports fan and an exhibition match
featuring Hashim K a h a n, the
world's greatest squash player, will
highlight tonight's 41st annual open
house fest of the Intramural and
Recreation Department.
Varsity footballers, including All-
American Tom Darden and multi-
talented Jim Betts, play for the
Magnificent 7, defending independ-
ent divisions cage champions. The
7 meet another contingent of U-M
varsity athletes, the Deolistics
(which includes several baseball
stars) at 8:45 p.m. at the I.M.
Sports Building on Hoover Street.
Preceeding the closely matched
tilt will be more than a dozen
divisional finals in basketball, pad-
dleball, swimming, water polo, and
handball.
Also at 7 p.m., Kahan a pro
from the Detroit Uptown Athletic
Club will demonstrate his wizardry
with a squash racket in an ex-
hibition against local players.
Mini-soccer, a newly derived in-
door version of the international
sport, will be performed, and the
3rd Annual Michigan Volleyball
tourney will run throughout the
night in the main gym.
In addition, rugby, fencing, gym-
nastics, and lacrosse clinics are
scheduled.

the Lilliputians, came out on top,

breaking steal by forward Steve
Shirley, and a rebound bucket by
Rots Hardisky. Room Bishop's two'
free throws with 15 seconds left
iced the win for Team 6.
The 5'9 league was organized to
give the players who have been
cheated in height but not talent a
chance to do their stuff without'
interference from the big goons
who camp under the basket.
Twelve teams in all entered
competition and the quality of
play, especially in the top four
teams, was very good. Ball-hawk-;
ing and stingy defense were the
bywords for most teams and the

"They may be short," comment-
ed Robert Dean, coach of the vic-
torious Lilliputians, "but I'd put
my team up against the best 'B'
team in the intramural leagues
and I'd bet the farm on 'em."
There were trophies on hand for
the winners at the conclusion of
the championship contest and it
was obvious that they meant a lot
to the ecstatic Lilliputians.
Coach Dean took the victory in
stride. "I knew we had the po-
tential to win it," he said. "It was
just a matter of playing together.
I've got 10 ballplayers and they're
all great. Usually my first five
will start the game and get us a
moderate lead, then I'll bring in
the second five and they'll blow
'em right off the court."

MINNEAPOLIS (P) - The Big

will meet this morning in Minne-
apolis to determine the eligibility
of two University of Minnesota
basketball players, Ron Behagen
and Corky Taylor, suspended for
their part in a brawl with Ohio
.tate earlier this season.
The 10 a.m. meeting in the Cur-

public.
Attorneys for the two players
said yesterday they had made a
formal request to Big Ten Com-
missioner Wayne Duke that Ath-
c Directors Ed Weaver of Ohio
State and Don Canham of Mich-
igan be barred from the meeting.
They said Weaver and Canham
had "expressed their bias in the
media" concerning the case.
There was no immediate word
from Duke's office on whether the
'Oequest would be granted.
Canham said yesterday he thinks
the directors will uphold the Uus-
pensions.

MOBY'S STICKS:

Summer Sublet Supplement

Diamondmen

move south

By JIM ECKER
Another "spring"-training sea-
son is underway for baseball clubs
all over America. Floridian visions
of palm trees; sandy beaches, sun-
shiny 80 degree w e a t h e r, and
scantily-clad beauties pop into
mind at the thought of preparing
for a year of work and play at our
national pastime.
However, for the Michigan base-
ball team there are none of these
pleasures. Coach Moby Benedict's
boyshave been carefullyecajoling
their limbs into preparedness
within the cold confines of Yost
Fieldhouse.
Of immediate concern is paring
down the thirty-man squad into
a manageable crew for the March
third journey to Arizona. The di-
amondmen taken west for a week's
competition against Arizona, Ari-
zona State and Phoenix College
will be couunted on heavily in
regular season play.
THE 1971 WOLVERINES fin-
ished their schedule with a 23-13
mark. Their 10-5 Big Ten finish
was good for a percentage-point
deadlock with Minnesota for sec-
ond place behind the Spartans of
Michigan State.
But commencement has gobbled
up several key Wolverines. Sixty
percent of the Michigan mound-
men are gone, including ace Jim
Burton and fireballing Dan Fife,
both now playing for the big kids.
The left side of the infield, rep-
resented by Mark Carrow and
Mike Rafferty at third and short
respectively, and flychaser Mike
Bowen have also graduated to
greener pastures. Nevertheless, a
solid nucleus of returning letter-
men are ready to pitch, catch, hit
and run Michigan into champion-i
ship competition.
The leadership of the pitching
staff has been inherited by cap-
able juniors Pete Helt and Mickey
Elwood. Helt is coming off an ef-
fective 6-3 season in which he
appeared in thirteen of his club's
thirty-six games, fanned 78 bat-
ters in 76.2 innings, and compiled
an impressive 1.64 E.R.A.
Elwood was right behind with
stats of 12 outings, 56 strikeouts
in 682 innings, and an E.R.A. of
1.97 However, as far as proven
arms go, that's it

co ldincrease your
typig eed
by two or three days.
Students will be elated over a completely new
way to correct typing errors: Liquid Papers new
dispenser, slipstick.
When you're typing the big one, the 30-page
paper you've been sweating for weeks, that's when
mistakes bug you the most. So you slow down.
And the closer you get to the bottom of the page,
the more you clutch up. Mess up now and you've
got a whole page to retype..
When you've got a slipstick handy, you don't
worry about mistakes. One easy touch releases a
special fluid that buries the mistake and leaves a
clean new surface like the paper itself.
So you type relaxed. And make fewer mistakes.
On the big assignments, Liquid Paper's new slip-
stick could put you days ahead.
ASK FOR LIQUID PAPER SLIPSTICK AT YOUR
