But football doesn't stand immune from expense cuts. "If the NCAA takes action, the cuts may well come across all sports," Canham said. "if rnot, and the Big Ten takes action, then football and bas- ketball may be temporarily exempted." The NCAA previously reject- ed proposals such as a return to one platoon football and re- cru iting visit limitatiols. Ano- ther meeting is scheduled^for next Thursday and Friday in Kansas City. ail Sports NIGHT EDITOR: BILL CRANE Even in the absence of offi- ial action, some Michigan pro- grams have been forced to tight- en their belts. The Michigan wrestling squad already saves money by shar- ing training facilities with foot- ball, and this year stopped tak- ing an extra wrestler on road trips because of the increased costs. "In the future I can see us moving in a cot and putting three men in a two-man room on the road," said wrestling coach Bill Johannesen. Such measures only foresha. dow more extensive proeram cuts. Hopefully, Michigan stauds at least a few years away from drastic measures, but Canham is preparing. "We're trying to economize so we don't have to cut teams, eliminate sports or restrict their competition," Canham s a i d . "But after we make certain cuts and there is still a financial crunch - and I'm talking five vears on down the line -- then travel cuts would be the next step." Canham expects those "cer- tain cuts" to come in the schol- arship and recruiting field. Here, once again, the non-.re- venue sports may take the worst beating. I M O N EY-SAVI "Maybe we'll have to say that only the income sport creates can be used for schol- arships," Canham said. Of the non-revenue sports, oply track, wrestling, gymnastics and swimming produce any gate receipts. The program's most recent non-revenue additions, the wo- men's program, would remain least affected by such cuts. Can- ham said the women realize the mens' mistakes and aren t push- ing for scholarships, recruit from the student body and play their games close to home. "If you could redesign t h e men's program from scratch you'd pattern it after wha+ the women are doing today," Can- ham said. Still, the women's prugrm will cost an estimated $80,000 this year. Associate women's athletic director Marie Hartwig amits this represents a con- siderable expense. "I don't want to deny the girls any opportunities, but this (a woman's program) is a terrible burden to have plac- ed on your budget with no' new income," Hartwig said. "It could be the downfall of a few programs." Fortunately, Michigan's suc- cessful program stands far from such catastrophe. But ris- in expenses threaten the pro- gram's independence. Mi :higan wossesses one of the few pro- arams that has not turned to university general funds for help as the economic situation wors- ens. "Hopefully we can make cuts and balance the budget withut having to go to the general IN G COUPON E r U Students Needed for Athletic Committee POSITIONS ARE ON: * Advisory Committee on Recreation, Intramural, & Club Sports (ACRICS) * Board in Control of In- tercollegiate Athletics Interviews will be held Tuesday, April 22.

Sports o The Daily Swimming cutback at Washington By The Associated Press SEATTLE-Olympic swimmer Rick DeMont, who lost his gold medal in 1972 in a controversial drug ruling, has withdrawn from the University of Washington because of financial cutbacks affecting the future of the Husky swim program. DeMont was unavailable for comment. But his mother, Mrs. Willard DeMont, said, "The lack of funding was the No. 1 factor." DeMont won the Olympic 400-meter freestyle gold medal, but it was taken from him when it was ruled that medication he had been taking for asthma was illegal. 0 Good football from bad times? ANNAPOLIS-Navy football Coach George Welsh said yesterday the poor economy and the end of the Vietnam war have aided in recruiting high school athletes for the U.S. Naval Academy. "I think the attitudes have changed," Welsh said. "The high school athletes are more receptive to the academy than they were." The Spirit of the'76ers PHILADELPHIA-Up to 75 per cent of the fans at the Philadelphia 76ers games this season were nonpaying customers, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Inquirer columnist Frank Dolson said yesterday the NBA team inflated attendance figures by failing to report sub- stantial numbers of free tickets. General Manager Pat Williams said, however, the practice was "what the NBA has done for 30 years, and that is announce the number of people in the house."
