TH MCHGA AIY ag Fv MINOR SPORTS LOSE AID: Grant structure overhauled HILLEL HIGHHOLY DAY SERVICES (pleose note change of location for Conservative services) By BOB ANDREWS, It is no state secret that the Big Ten athletic departments are suf- fering through serious financial struggles while receiving minimal assistance from their respective universities. Attempting to rectify the situation, the conferences' ath- letic directors concurred at a stra- tegy session last spring that the wisest alternative possible to con- serve the nearly depleted funds would result in a scaling down of the scholarship program for the minor sports Affected by the decision are the- following collegiate endeavors: baseball, track, tennis, golf, gym- nastics, swimming and wrestling. However, spared from this pro- posed cutback are football, basket- b 11 and hockey on the assumption that these "big three" are con- sidered revenue sports. As the logic follows, a reduction in the number of scholarships would bring about a reduction in the school's luring power for the na- tion's top talent as well as an ev- eatual decrease in the attendance figures. In past years,, each Big Ten school was allowed 70htotal schol- arships with football securing 30- 35 of these and basketball six, both legislated figures throughout the conference. The remaining awards would then be divided among the remaining sports, except hockey which was exempt from the ruling: because it was not considered to be a Big Ten sport, having only four schools involved in the West- maining units to recruit anyone ern Collegiate Hockey Associa- else. tion.

Key reasons for Farmer's op- timism are the recruiting of ex- perienced high school talent, the return of every member of last year's team, and Keith Brown. Last year Brown, as a fresh- man, placed eighth in the Big Ten Championships and was the first Wolverine as well as freshman, to cross the finish line. At the NCAA Championships Brown finished 99th and was the eleventh fresh- man to finish. During the course of his fresh- man year Brown posted a 13:46.5 for three-miles, establishing a new school record. Farmer expects Brown to reach even greater heights this season. Sophomore George Khouri who paced the Wolverines in their first two meets last season, but was be- set with leg injuries, is expected; to be back in form this season, after logging over 1200 miles this summer. If Khouri can remain healthy during the 1972 campaign he will provide considerable competition for Brown in his bid for the num- ber one spot. Pres.sing Brown and Khouri for the top spots on this season's squad will be John Cross, a tal- ented freshman prospect from Cross has recorded a 9:19 two- mile high school performance and ran one of the six fastest high school ten mile with a time of 51: 23. He is also the second fastest, six-miler in Michigan history. Although standing in the sha- dows of Brown, Khouri, and Cross, middle distance man Bill Bolster from Mallow, County Cork, Ire- land, according to Farmer could be the key to the success or fail- ure of this season's team. Bolster, who finished sixteenth in last year's Big Ten Champion- ships, missing a place on the all Big Ten cross-country team by one place was third in the 800 meter run at the Irish Olympic Trials and foiled to make Ire- land's national team. The harriers will open their reg- ulr season a week from Satur- day, competing in the EMU Open. Key meets this season are the Notre Dame Invitational and the Wolverines' lone home meet Octo- ber 28 against Minnesota, a tra- ditional Big Ten power. After the Minnesota meet, Coach Farmer and his squad should know how great a bid they can make in the Big Ten Champion- ships the following week at Iowa. A Big Ten Championship would be a fitting tribute to Farmer, who in two short years has revived cross-country at Michigan and es- tablished a very respectable eight meet schedule this season. To succeed in moving to the top rung on the Big Ten cross- country ladder, Farmer needs a healthy team and constant dedi- cation from each and every mem- ber of the, team.
