"Our record has been very
good in past seasons and there's
no reason to think that it won't
continue to be that way," sum-
marized Michigan men's tennis
coach Brian Eisner on this
year's defending Big Ten cham-
pions' quest for an eighth,
straight conference champion-
ship.
Although the Wolverines have
lost four of their top five start-
ers from last year, they should
be every bit as tough, and Eis-
ner is confident that his team
will continue to exhibit the fin-
est quality of tennis in the Mid-
west.
AN INDICATION of this is
Michigan's recent performance
at the Intercollegiate Indoor
Team Championships, at Madi-
son, Wisconsin. With all but one
of the top sixteen teams in
the country participating in the
event, the Blue netters finished
fifth.

NEW YORK - Commissioner
Bowie Kuhn gave the American
League permission to place a
franchise in Toronto yesterday,
with the understanding that a
provision be made for some AL
games, possibly by the Balti-
more Orioles, to be played in
nearby Washington, D.C.
He gave the American League
seven days in which to work out
a formula to satisfy Washington,
which has been without a fran-
chise since the Senators moved
to Texas in 1972. The commis-
sioner said if an agreeable for-
mula could not be worked out,
he would withdraw approval for
a franchise.
The American League re-
jected t h e commissioner's
move. In a three paragraph
statement, AL President Lee
MacPhail insisted any attempt
by Kuhp to interfere with its
plans for a Toronto franchise
"is neither just nor fair."
"The American League in-
tends to go forward with its
plans for Toronto," MacPhail
said. "If the National League
desires to expand to Washing-
ton, it may do so. There are
other fine cities available for
a 14th franchise."
MacPhail said the American
League's Toronto action "was
done in full compliance with
baseball rules. The commission-
er and the National League were
fully informed of our plans at
a joint league meeting held in
New York City on March 20.
"No objection was made to
this plan by the commissioner,"
MacPhail continued, "and he
refused to implement a mora-
torium on such action requested
by the National League."

Jabbar named MVP
NEW YORK-Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar o f the Los Angeles
Lakers was named winner of
the National Basketball Associa-
tion's Most Valuable Player
Award for the fourth time yes-
terday, edging rival centers Bob
McAdoo of the Buffalo Braves
and Dave Cowens of the Boston
Celtics.
The 7-foot-3 Abdul-Jabbar is
the NBA leader in rebounding,
blocked shots and minutes play-
ed and second to McAdoo in
scoring. He recived 409 points
on the basis of five points for
first place, three for second and
one for third in balloting by the
league's players.
McAdoo, w i n n e r of the
league's Podoloff Trophy last
season as the MVP, was sec-
ond this time with 393 points.
Cowens, the 1973 winner, fin-
ished third with 378 points in
the closest three-way race in
NBA history.

NEW YORK-It's pretty much
of a certainty that when Tampa
Bay makes its No. 1 pick in
Thursday's National Football
League collegiate draft, it'll be

And when Seattle's turn
comes, the Seahawks figure to

top running back in a college

After that, though, specula-
tion will be the order of the
day as each team with the ex-
ception of Washington, Phila-
delphia, Houston and Oakland
go through the first round,
looking for that one man to
turn a loser into a winner or
a winner into a champion.
Tampa has the first pick in
this draft since it had the sec-
ond one behind Seattle in last
week's expansion draft of vet-
erans from the other 26 clubs.
The first-round order behind
them is: New Orleans, San

Hoosier homecoming
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.-An es-
timated 16,000 persons jammed
the Indiana University Assem-
bly Hall Wednesday night to pay
tribute to their 1976 NCAA bas-
ketball champions.
The rally was scheduled for
9 p.m., but so many fans showed
up early a group smashed
through a couple of entrance
doors.
The highlight was Coach
Bobby Knight introducing the
five senior members of his
32-0 squad. "Take a good loo
at these guys. You may never
see five more like them."
The coach also noted, "Bobby
Wilkerson can't be here, but
he's just another lesson that
these five guys can give every-
one. I know I'll never see an-
other five seniors like these who
have worked so hard and given
so much for four years."
