In case you didn't know, Bowling Green is the site of West- ern Kentucky University and to- day's track meet, the inaugural of the Blue thinclads outdoor cam- pa-n. For Farmer and his charges, this. small town offers a relatively warm climate and a chance to do some much needed outdoor work. The track team left Thursday morning and arrived at WKU just in time for a hard workout that after- noon. Michigan also held a stren- uous session yesterday, an unusual occ"trence on the day preceeding a meet. HOWEVER, in this case the hard work is more imnortant than winning the meet. Don't worry, Farmer is notthrowingthe meet. But in the drive for the Big Ten title a day of hard outdoor work is more imnortant than a win over Western Kentucky. Farmer does want to win the meet.

We need your experiences Against NBA layfs... finally here By MARC FELDMAN THE LONG grind of the seemingly endless National Basketball* Association season is mercifully over and finally the good teams in the league can settle down to some serious business-the playoffs. This season in' particular the regular season was totally useless. Everyone assumed that the league's powerhouses, Bos- ton, New York, Los Angeles and Milwaukee would have no trouble securing spots among the eight eligible teams but the ease with which Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta and Golden State grab- bed berths was, if not unexpected, unwelcome. There was simply no drama in the NBA this season. Under the divisional setups, most of the league teams assumed their positions in the standings in the first month of the season and with the minor exception of Detroit's overtaking of Kansas City- Omaha in the past few weeks, remained that way. The supposed logic behind the present playoff format is left over from the early struggling days of the league when teams played in ramshackle arenas before miniscule crowds. The playoffs were the only time genuine interest was gener- ated by the press, and financial losses could be overcome. How- ever, when the gap in the Atlantic Division between the New York Knicks and the Buffalo Braves is 36 games and teams are able to clinch playoff berths in January, .the balance of the season becomes a farce. On the weekly telecasts on ABC-TV, Bill Russell hada great deal of trouble making games even among the NBA's elite seem like they meant anything. Over the past five years, the rivalry between the Knicks and the Baltimore Bullets'has been one of the league's best but the result of an individual game during the season is unimportant. How can the average fan retain an in- terest in games that Russell says are for "the psychological ad- vantage" in the playoffs? No way. Under the present four-division format, the inequality of competition between the "haves" and the "have-nots" became more pronounced than ever in the 72-73 season. As mentioned previously, second-place New York won 36 more games' than Buffalo; Atlanta, 13 more than third-place Houston; Chicago, 11 more than the Pistons; and Golden State, nine more than Phoenix in the Pacific Division. The unfortunate aspect of this setup is that whatever way the playoff picture develops some one gets screwed. This year it was the fans and last year, Phoenix and Seattle. In the 71-72 campaign Phoenix finished third in the Midwest with a 49-33 record and out of the playoffs even though the Suns had the sixth best record in the NBA and won one more game than the eventual league runner-up, New York. Seattle won 47 games but that wasn't enough to qualify for the playoffs be- cause the Supersonics had to compete with both Los Angeles and Golden State in their division. The Sonics waged a close war with Golden State but came up four games short, but this wouldn't be bad (in fact, the team set home attendance records) -if it were not for the fact that Baltimore and Atlanta qualified easily for the playoff positions in the Central Division although neither won half its games. The Bullets won six less than they lost and the Hawks advanced to the playoffs with a less than sparkling 36-46 log. There are other examples of bad teams making the play- offs while teams which competed in tougher divisions watched the games on television. In the first year of divisional play two years ago, a half- dozen teams ended up where they didn't belong. These " " " These " 0 0 teams made the playoffs: Baltimore 42-40 Atlanta 36-46 Golden State 41-41 teams stayed home: Boston 44-38 Phoenix 48-34 Detroit 45-37 1v - i The point of these records and statistics is one: The divisional format either is boring or unfair, and the only way to solve these problems is to decrease the cumbersome size of the NBA (17 teams) or somewhat equalize the competition to make the regular season more than exercise.
