The number game for an NCAA
tournament spot is simple:
Michigan has three Bij Ten
games remaining. Winning all
three would give fhe Wolverines
an undisputed Big Ten title and
trip to Bloomington for a first'
round playoff game.
Michigan therefore controls its
own destiny.
If Michigan wins two of the
three, it can finish no worse
than in a tie for first with
Minnesota. This would give
the Wolverines the confer-
ence spot in the NCAA play-
offs because the Gophers are
on probation and are ineligi-

The surprise finish and high'

Captain Ann Weavers won the
event for MSU, but upon ac-

attacked from behind by her
teammates who splattered a
cream pie in her race.
Weaver accepted the pie and
the award in the spirit given,1
and a playful Cindy Roberts of
CMU (the meet's all-around
champion) finished the job for
the Spartans by rubbing the pie

topped the field on the balance

Steckroat of MSU added to her
vaulting tie with a victory in

Michigan's coach Anne Cor-
nell was happy with the ream's
showing although they didn't
capture the hoped-for second
place. "We did as well as we
could, and I'm pleased with our
overall score," Cornell said.;
"Not having Sara (Flom) with
us cost us points, but the rest of
the team really hit their rou-

"Central Michigan was reaiy
hot tonight," said Cornell.
"They average 117-118 per meet
and for them to score 126 is
quite a feat."
VAULTING champ Robey also
expressed happiness with the
tumblers' performance. "I'm
really proud of the team quali-

"It shows we have the Doteutlal

"We just ran into a super team," commented coach Newt,

Even though the Wolverines didn't place first in an event

Our guys deserve a lot of credit. They really performed'
well.'
NIGEL ROTHWELL led Michigan with solid performances
in all six individual events to wind up second in the albaround
competition with 53.5 points.
Also performing well for the Wolverines were Carl Badger,
who captured second in the vaulting, and John Corritore who'
was runner-up on the parallel bars.
Olympian Kurt Thomas paced the Sycamores with individual
firsts on the parallel bars and pommel horse plus top all-around

NFL formalizes draft
WASHINGTON' - After three years of on-again, off-again
bargaining, peace finally came to the National Football League
yesterday 4hen the players association and te'am owners ap-
proved a five-year basic agreement which modified both the
college draft and the controversial Rozelle Rule.
SARGENT KARCH, executive director of the NFL Manage-
ment Council, said he expected formal signing of the contract
to take place Monday, subject to ratification by the union mem-
bership.
The college draft, which is now guaranteed at least, through
1986, will be held on or about May 1 each year, begining this
spring, but will be reduced from 17 rounds to 12.
If a free agent signs with a new club, his old club will be
compensated by predetermined choices in that/"year's college
draft ranging from a third-round choice to two, consecutive firs'-
round choices depending on the free agent's salary terms with
his new club.
However, any team signing a free agent must either own the
rights to whatever draft choices it will be required to surrender
or must trade for them, and, those choices may not be lower
than its own standing in the order of selection in the draft.
