A resolution which would dras-
tically cut back the numb'er of.
athletic scholarships available in
the. Big Ten for the "minor
sports" is on the verge of rati-
fication. The projected move
slashes the number of grants
awarded from 34 per 'year to less
than half that figure.
Associate Athletic Director Don
Lund defined the "minor sports"
as "everything but football and
basketball, our revenue makers."
B a s ejb a 11, gymnastics, track,
swimming, tennis, wrestling, and
golf thus become the non-revenue
makers, by definition.
Lemon axed
K A N S AS CITY (P) - The
Kansas City. Royals dismissed
Bob Lemon as manager yester-
day and replaced him with Jack
McKeon, manager' of the Amer-
can L e a g u e baseball club's
Omaha farm team. Lemon will
finish the season with the Royals
tonight against Texas.'
LUND EXPLAINED that the
exact number of scholarships
that would remain has not been
finalized. He hinted that "around
1S is a good guess." It is not
clear when the new rules would
become operative.
The Michigan hockey team is
in a unique position on the Ann
Arbor sports scene. Al Renfrew's
crew is a member of-the Western
Collegiate Hockey Association, an
organization more lenient with
its purse strings than the Big
Ten.
Lund pointed out that the level
of competition. within the con-
ference would not be affected.
Cutbacks would be across the
board for all ten schools.
* He ,admitted that the Big Ten
would suffer nationally for a
year or two, especially in the
vital recruiting field. However,
Lind believes that other con-
ferences, such as the Southwest,
Pacific Eight, and Big Eight,
would soon "follow the leader."-
Partial scholarships will grow
in importance as the totals doled
out decrease. Full rides in the
minor sports will become rare,
with the typical stipend covering
one-third of a student's expenses.
(In the form of room, board or
tuition.)
Money saved from the eco-
nomic maneuverings would be
rechannelled within the Athletic
Administration. Funds for the
dollar-starved intramural pro-
gram is a possibility.
Track coach Dixon Farmer
sympathizes with Athletic Direc-
tor Don Canham. "Canham is
using foresight in projecting what
our financial situation will be
like five years from now," statedI
the former Occidental mentor. I
Farmer foresees the Occidental
track program at the club level
within five years.. "Some schools
will keep going to the hilt (finan-
cially) until It becomes necessary
for drastic moves," predicted
Farmer.
Neither Farmer nor gymnas-
tics coach Newt Loken predicts
a mass exodus of quality coaches
from the Big Ten when the
scholarships are reduced.
"Hell, it's taken me 28 years
to learn the streets of this town,"
lamented Loken. "I'm not leav-
ing now."
The reduction in scholarships
might bring back the two or
three sport performer. For in-
stance, two players with equal
abilities in basketball and base-
ball could both be landed, one
on a basketball grant, the other
on baseball.
The result is a pair of satis-
fied coaches and some over-
burdened student-athletes.
Also on the planning board is
a longer-range proposal to reduce
the number of basketball scholar-
ships. As it now stands, six are
awarded per year, or 24 over a
four year period. A 'reduction to
18 for the four years is being
seriously considered.
The football team retains its
30 per year (or 120 for the four
years) allocation. Even this total
is 10-15 below the other major
conferences.

KALINE IGNITES
Old Tigers
produce
DETROIT UP) - "The older you
get, the harder it is to get up for
every game," said a mobbed Al
Kaline. "But for the big ones like
this, it's no problem at all."
Kaline was the hero last night,
knocking in the winning run with
a single in the seventh inning as
the Detroit Tigers captured base-
ball's American League E a s t
championship with a 3-1 victory
over the Boston Red Sox.
Tiger Stadium was a scene of
bedlam immediately after the
game with swarms of fans from;
the crowd of 50,000 tearing up
bases and mobbing players who
battled their way back to the dug-
out and into the champagne-
doused Tiger clubhouse.
The clubhouse was a hectic
scene with virtually every player'
plus executives being drenched
with champagne.
Even Woody Frymtan, the non-
drinking pitcher who throttled the
Sox on four hits for 723 innings,
drank champagne.
"None of my family smokes,
chews or drinks," said Fryman.
"I took a sip today and I'll prob-
ably take another. Mother prob-
ably won't appreciate that."
Tiger Manager Billy Martin was
ecstatic describing his feelings
simply as: "Happy! Happy! Hap.
py!" as he bounced from one
broadcast microphone toanother.
Martin pointed to Kaline as the
man who led the drive to the flag.'
"There's not a word I can say.
All the superlatives . . . I would
use them all. There aren't words
to describe how he played." .
The 37-year-old Kaline raised his
hands in jubilation moments be-
fore catching the final out in right
field when he grabbed it he set
off the pandemonium. ,
"We have no apologies. We
battled them, and nobody ex-
pected us to get as far as we
did."
That was Boston Manager Eddie
Kasko's initial comment in the
gloomy Red. Sox clubhouse.
"Everybody put out 1,000 per
cent and you can't ask for more,,,
Kasko said quietly as the Detroit
fans whopped it up and made a
shambles of the playing field. "We
stopped hitting and scoring just
about the time they (Tigers)
started."
Veteran right-hander Luis Tiant,
the loser in what he considered
"the biggest game of my life,"
wiped away tears and repeatedl
"too late now, too late now."
The loss was only the second in
13 starts for Tiant since he was
promoted to the regular rotation
Aug. 1. Two of the three runs
charged to him were unearned,
that enabled him to edge Cleve-
land's Gaylord Perry for the
earned run average title, 1.9106 to
1.9107.
"What the hell," Tiant said
when told he was the first Bos-
ton pitcher to win the ERA title
since Mel Parnell in 1949. "The
only thing is to win. I would like
the championship instead of
ERA."
"We just didn't hit, and if you
don't hit, you don't score," Tommy
Harper said. "If you don't score
any runs, you can't win."
