Purdue has fallen back to third. and trails the leader'by two full lengths. The. Michigan jockey can taste the fruits of victory, all he has .to do is stay in the saddle .. . 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- ble for the national title. If the Wolverines drop two of; the three games, they can fin- ish no worse than in a tie for second. If that tie is with Pur- due there will be a playoff to. determine the Big Ten's repre- sentative in the NCAA's. The season would not auto- matically end for the loser. The NCAA could still hand out an at-large berth to this team. If Michigan loses all three of: the games they could still win the Big Ten crown, or finish second, or third, or tie for first, "They won 17 games last leading scorer (19.3 points per or second, or ... simple right? year," noted head coach John- game).

"I've been striving for a 9.0 all season, and' now that I've finally accom- plished it, I can work from there," she said. An overall-clad Robey accent-: ed her award, but this casual ac-4 ceptance was overshadowed by! the award for uneven bars. Captain Ann Weavers won the event for MSU, but upon ac- centance of her award, she was 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 tin into Weaver's face. Roberts of Central Michigan topped the field on the balance beam in leading the way to her all-around championship, while Steckroat of MSU added to her vaulting tie with a victory in floor exercise. 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- tines." "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- fving for Regionals," she said, "It shows we have the Doteutlal for a strong team next year."

"It's not surprising that they are one of the top-rated teams in the country." Even though the Wolverines didn't place first in an event all night, coach Loken had nothing but praise for his team. 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 honors. Bruce Spikerman also had two. firsts for the Sycamores, winning the floor exercise and vaulting. The gymnasts will now prepare for the Big Ten champion- ships which will be held in Minneapolis in two weeks. 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.
