... a money maze
LROY HIRSCH, the Athletic Director at Wisconsin, came up
with an interesting bad idea for getting college athletics out of
evere economic trouble: eliminate scholarships for all sports
xcept the guaranteed money-makers, basketball and football.
Worse yet, his proposal sounded plausible enough to get a
ound denunciation before the other Big Ten ADs voted it down.
Back when 4mos Alonzo Stagg was young, athletics was
hopeful, mostly amateur, idealistic enterprise. Games and
pectacles were alleged to provide all sorts of wholesome benefits,
anging from character-building to, in the case of the Olympics,
reating friendship between nations and abolishing war.
We all know better now. Seventy years of practical experi-
ence has shown that teaching a young man to hit like a gorilla
n the field doesn't contribute much at all toward making him
ehave like Spinoza on the street.
Individual coaches, like individual English teachers, can
ometimes help people to define themselves and a purpose for
heir lives. This, however, is largely a function of the coach's
empathy as a teacher, not of his role as a participant in a sport.
Sports has matured. While it still wraps itself in the old
rhetoric whenever it gets a chance (observe Gerald Ford's
never-ending paeans in praise of football), increasingly it is
evolving into the only form this society allows for its activi-
ties: an enterprise whose value is judged strictly by the
number on the bottom line.
ros coddled
In the case of its professional variants, this development is
elcome and to be encouraged. These were businesses all along:
ut by wrapping themselves in. a combination of civic pride and
lleged adherence to the values of amateur sport, they acquired
bevy of advantages even J. P. Morgan could envy:
f Most professional teams have their workplace provided for
hem by the taxpayers. General Motors doesn't.
New professional sports franchises can claim that most of
heir capital was paid for players, and can amortize that sum for
ive years against operating revenues. GM couldn't do that when
t started.
*Professional sports teams have the right to exclusively
laim the college graduates they want to work for them. GM
oesn't.
* Professional sports teams can trade any of their employes
o any of their competitors for whatever price they can get.
M can't.
* Professional sports leagues can get antitrust exemptions
hrough Congress virtually at will. GM doesn't dare.
So much for the native habitat of Gary Davidson, whose
inancial exploits belong with those of Ponzi and Jay Gould in
he Robber Baron Hall of Fame. University athletics are some-
hat different.
These differences come through most clearly in the
'minor sports," those which don't lead automatically to a
playing career for a professional franchise. With a gymnast,1
an amateur wrestler, or someone who runs track, the chance'
to a large income playing in front of thousands of spectators,
is almost unreal.
Young men who play minor sports are genuinely students
irst, and the main reason they are playing on the team-beyond
eeping their scholarship-is that they like the game.
ollege farm system
In the revenue sports, the reasons for participating are
colored outrageously by that great professional pot of dough.
"Where does the NBA find most of its talent?" a brochure
innesota sends to its recruits asks, and responds, "Right in the
ig 10 Conference."
The brochure then goes on to name a few Golden Gophers
ho've lived up to that name quite literally.
The difference between a kid who responds to this pitch
and an overt professional is a legalism, not a reality.
More than 30 years ago, the University of Chicago got fed
up with this whole trip and dissolved its intercollegiate athletic
program. The school, however, didn't bring the wrecking ball
around to its playing fields, in fact, Robert Maynard Hutchins

(Chicago's President) expressed strong support for intramural
programs, while turning Stagg Field over to the Manhattan
Project.
To the satirist, this would suggest that the first step out of
college sports' financial squeeze would be for everyone to drop
football, basketball and (maybe) hockey tenders, while keeping
up scholarships in those sports where athletics-for-its-own-sake
isn't just a phrase. Unfortunately, this approach-which does
have merits-falls short on some points of equity.
Even in the "revenue sports," most of the players don't
move on up to the pros. For them, their years of competition
are-or should be-interesting, exciting moments spent dur-
ing one's spare time on the ivay to a degree.
For them, also, playing a sport isn't a matter of setting up
for a 10-year career, but an activity pursued for the satisfaction
one gets from participating.
Scholarships for all
Furthermore, everyone can agree that there's something
unfair about giving scholarship money to someone who can play
ball for the school team, without giving the same consideration
to someone who can play flute for the school orchestra.
Just about everyone who comes here has some talent which
contributes to the University's reputation and, hence, its ability
to raise funds when the taxpayers cop out-the standard reasons
used to justify giving athletes grants in aid. Therefore, instead
of taking athletes' scholarships away, people should work
toward securing similar benefits for all.
And finally, it's time to put the screws on pro sports, at
least to make them pay for the services colleges provide in
maintaining free farm systems and by giving free tickets to
their scouts.
Although not the best system, it beats scholarships for ROTC
any day, and by once again making most athletic departments

ties exist. You can see exciting.
basketball, live-foj free. Yes,
no admission charged.
Tonight at Crisler Arena the
women's basketball team is
hosting MSU, with junior var-
sity action beginning at 6 p.m.,F
followed immediately by the
varsity game.
The women's basketball pro-
gram is only in its second year'
of operation here. Competition
comes from throughout the state '
of Michigan although there is'
no formal league. The regular!
season's games are used only
for rating teams in the state
tournament.
So, although it is beneficial
to win regular season games, itI
is not essential. Coach Carmel1
Borders says, "No matter how1
we fare in seasonal play, we
are working toward a good
showing in the state tourna-
ment."
This tournament will be held
in Lansing, beginning Feb. 27.
Borders, who is in her first
year coaching the team, feels
very confident about the future
of women's basketball at Michi-
gan. She feels with more pub-
licity from the media morel
people will become aware of the
-W 'd

team and come out to see it
perform.
Presently, what the team
needs is buildup. It received so
little publicity concerning the
formation of this year's sq-ad
that not all the players came to
the original tryouts. Tryouts be-
gan in the middle of last semes-
ter's exam week. This had an
effect on the number of players
which tried out for the team.
"Many (players) didn't come
out because +h team wasr't a
winner. Thwy get frustrated
when we work and work and
still lose," says Borders.
This year's team is made up
of almost a whole new crew
from last year. No seniors are.
on the squad, which consists of '
four freshwomen, three 9ophu-
mores and two juniors.
One freshwoman, guard Col-
leen Woodbury, didn't actually
join the team until after Christ-
mas vacation.
"At first I didn't know if this
would get in the way with my
studies," says Colleen, "but
during vacation I was watching!
my brother play basketball and
I decided I wanted to play also."
Woodbury sets the tempo of
the game for the offense, and is
an aggressive ball hawker on
defense. Her 100 per cent, 10
for 10 free throw shootiig. and
eight and ten point scorin per-
formance, have helped the
team.
The tallest player on a rela-I
tively short team is 5-10, fresh-
woman center Terry Conlim.
Commenting on the play of the
team, Terry says, "We're good
competitors. There are no in-,
dividual players on this teurn.
We play as a team, and ahlm;s
, -.w7

try to go for the open man."
Borders agrees. "The spirit on
this team is great. There is no
animosity among the players,
as they all just try to play to- I
gether. Of the ten girls in-
terested, all of them come to
every practice and work hiard
for me."
What Borders hopes for e I
that somer'1ing can be added o
the orienta:ion program, telling
incoming fresl-women wiat s
being offered in the area of
women's sports.
In the :wo previous games,
poor shooting and not enough
strength an the boards has hurt
the team. Another factor has
been that their competition has
been muca taller and more
physical.

Bill McCartney, who was add-
ed to the Michigan football
coaching staff to recruit the
Detroit area, has landed two
prime recruits. Both are mid-
season graduates, and both are
currently enrolled and prepar-
ing for spring football.
Kyron Williams, a 6-1, 220
pound offensive and middle
guard from Detroit South-
western, was named All-State
in Class A two years in a row.
Mark DeSantis, a 6-4, 21.5
pound offensive guard, was a
class B All-Stater for Harper
Woods Bishop Gallagher.
Two other All-State midseason
graduates got away. Halfback
William Broadway of Flint
Northern chose Michigan State,
and quarterback Anthony Dud-
, ley of Detroit Northern is head-
ed for Wisconsin.
