A,1. 1 * 0 9 (o 9 Ar Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, June 9, 1970 All refutes high court appeal :L re 1J&fr4iogun FCi WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court was asked yes- terday to allow Muhammed All to go to Canada to fight Joe Frazier, but the former heavy- weight champion washed his hands of the effort. "That's my lawyer talking and he's going to be fired for doing these things," Ali said in Philadelphia when word of the legal move reached him. "I don't want to fight under forced conditions," he told news- men. Ali is free on bail while he appeals a 1967 conviction for re- fusing Army induction. One of the terms is that he may not leave the country. The ex-champion's No. 1 law- yer, Chauncey Eskridge of Chi- cago, asked the court to give Ali up to 18 hours in Toronto to fight Frazier, who now holds the crown. Eskridge said the court could pack Ali's car with U.S. mar- shals and that 70 per cent of the proceeds, perhaps $1 mil- lion, could be held in escrow for Ali's return. The application, made to Jus- tice Hugo L. Black, said Ali is broke and needs the money for alimony, to keep in fighting shape and to pay legal bills. In Philadelphia, Ali said he does not support the plea., "I don't know anything about it," he told reporters. "When a lawyer files an ap- plication in this court he doesn't always talk to his client," Es- kridge told a reporter by tele- phone from Chicago. "When I made the applica- tion I did so because I had an offer for a fight in Canada. I have permission from the Ca- nadian authorities. They will, sanction the fight. "If the application is granted that is time he will have a chance to say whether he will fight." Eskridge said Ali was "per- fectly right. He hasn't author- ized it. I did it on my own." The lawyer agreed that if Ali formally disavows the applica- tion for freedom to travel the issue will be dead legally. Ali was stripped of his box- ing title by the World Boxing Association and New York state when he was indicted. He has said several times he does not intend to fight again. Last month the U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans denied the request by Ali's lawyers for permission to go to Canada to fight. Shortly after his conviction a federal district court rejected an earlier request by Ali to make a 30-day boxing tour of Japan. IOWA CITY (P)-The NCAA and the Big Ten announced yesterday that they are con- ducting a probe of the Athletic Department at the University of Iowa in relation to the re- cruitment and financial assist- ance of athletes. Athletic Board chairman Sam Fahr said that the university; would fully cooperate with the investigation, which will look primarily at the football pro- gram at Iowa. * * * Vol. LXXX, No. 24-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, June 9, 1970 Ten Cent Garrett. makes it official he'll play for the Dodgers NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Garrett, at the height of his career as a star running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, formally announc- ed his retirement from pro football yesterday because "I just want to try something else" - baseball. The 26-year-old member of the Super Bowl champion Chiefs confirmed that he would play out the final year of his reported - $450,000, five-year contract with Kansas City next season, and then turn to baseball. Garrett, 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, had talked about quitting for some time when his present pact ran out, and he let it be known last Friday after baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers picked him in the free agent draft that the time had come. "I'm not tired of football. I love it," he said. "I just want to try something else. It's not an achievement. I just always wanted to play for the Dodgers." He shrugged off any idea that his retirement might be a ploy to coax more money out of the Chiefs, or to get himself traded to a football team nearer his Los Angeles home. "I'm not talking about money. This is not a money decision," he emphasized. "If money was the problem, I'd stay in football. "I know some people have used this as a way of bargaining, but if I wanted more money, I would just ask for it.I STi TE B'I PROBES CHAR( s G Ii ST C )ed teu' A. LEE KIRK - Player on apartheid * CURT FLOOD SUIT Baseball wraps up case M 0 . . . a contradictory cavalier Probably no athlete in the world, either amateur or pro- fessional, faces more problems than South African golfer Gary Player. As his nation's most prominent sports figure, Player has frequently been the target of both physical and verbal abuse. In his tournament appearances this year, Player has been con- stantly guarded by uniformed and plain-clothesed security men. Despite the distractions and pressures which accompany him wherever he plays, Player has amassed $88,000 on this year's tour. Up until recently, Player has remained mum on South Af- rica's apartheid policy of excluding native non-whites from its sports teams as well as its practice to deny visas to non-whites desiring to compete in South Africa. But now, he has begun to speak out in defense of his nation while admitting the need for some changes. Player feels that South Africa is the best country in the world in which to live, arguing that the country is free from racial and campus disorders, and that law and order still pre- vail. "What's more," he contends, "I think we have a great- er love for and understanding of the non-white people in this country (South Africa) than they have in America for their Negroes. If it's a matter of sacrificing our country for sport, we must sacrifice sport." This would, he admits, be a tragedy, for Player as much as anyone is aware of the personal as well as financial rewards available to the athlete. As a professional, free from all the sanctions imposed on South Africa by international amateur sports, any loss of competitive opportunities he might suffer would come only from personal choice. But he is not insensitive to all the problems apartheid has brought him and his nation. "Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if we want to compete with the rest of the world as it is thinking now, we will have to comply with the way they are thinking," Play- er contends. "We will have to make some changes. What they are I don't know. This is where the government will have to make the decision." Player's arguments make him sound almost like an ante- bellum southern gentleman, cavalier in his outlook on life and paternal towards the blacks. Player seems to feel that because there are no riots or revolts in South Africa, everyone must be happy. Yet unrest is not the only barometer of discontent. After Nat Turner's revolt in 1831, there were no more slave uprisings in this country. Was this because slaves suddenly became content with their lot? Or was it because slavery became so harsh and repressive that any concerted action became impos- sible? The answer is obvious. To justify their peculiar institution and defend it from ever more vociferous attacks from abolitionists, southerners ceased to despair the evils of slavery and began to defend it as a positive good. South Africa has followed the salve pattern, becoming more passionate in its defense of apartheid as in- ternational criticism has increased. Player's reference to the racism in America, painfully true though it is, is irrevelent to any defense of apartheid. Whatever love the South African may have for non-whites is primarily a paternal one. It is a love that shelters the child but a love that will eventually crush anyone who seeks his own identity. This is the tragedy of South Africa. However, most South Af- ricans, including Gary Player, cannot understand it. It is ironic and in some ways appropriate that Player wears black when playing golf. NEW YORK (IP) - The defense complete case in Curt Flood's $3 million antitrust against baseball yesterday when an economist tified average player salaries had increasedJ $19,500 in 1965 to $38,376 in 1970. Dr. John Clark Jr. of Concord, Mass. an e omist for the firm of Arthur D. Little of C bridge, Mass. said his analysis of baseball's margin after expenses had declined from per cent in 1965 to 3.7 per cent in 1969. The defense witness contested the earlier t Sawvchuk jur, i " ends 7inquir MINEOLA, N.Y. (P) - The Nassau Co Grand Jury decided yesterday the death of h ey goalie Terry Sawchuk after a fracas with York Ranger teammate Ron Stewart was " pletely accidental" and declined to indict S art. Dist. Atty. William A. Cahn, who rep( the grand jury's findings, said both Sawchuk Stewart were drinking in a bar when an a ment over the cleaning of their rented h started and they "may have been slightly in cated." Cahn said the case was "closed . . . so fa any further criminal investigation by this o is concerned." He said that 36 hours of testimony be the grand jury by nine witnesses, including S art, disclosed that it was "mainly a verbal a ment and while a lot of pushing and shoving place at the bar and the home and although blows may have been attempted, none was str by either Stewart or Sawchuk. The argument took place April 29 and the year-old Sawchuk, after a fall at the house, admitted to Long B e a c h Memorial Hos where he underwent surgery for removal of his g a11 bladder. ~{:'*a Several weeks later, he w a s transferred to a New York City hospital, where he died May 31 of a pulmonary embolism. AM Cahn said that after Saw- chuk and Stewart, 37, had words in a Long Beach bar, "the ar- New Yore gument continued at the home Boston ... and apparently Stewart fell Detroit backward over an obstacle in Wasington the yard and Sawchuk and one Ben Weiner, who had hold of Sawchuk, fell and the injuries Minnesota which caused the embolism California Oakland leading to the death of Saw- Chicago chuk occurred." Kansas Cit Weiner, manager of a restau- Milwaukee rant, was identified as a friend Y of Sawchuk's. Milwaukee Cahn said that while "the ex- act cause of Sawchuk's injury Milwaukee remains unknown ... there was Minnesota no evidence by any of the eye- Caon_ Boston a witnesses that any blows were Washingto struck." Oakland at d its mony of Robert Nathan, an economist who ap- suit peared for the Flood side, and said the reverse tes- system "tended to depress wage levels because from there is no opportunity to negotiate." Dr. Clark said salaries increased at a reason- econ- able level, within the structure of the reserve sys- Cam- tem, and the pay of established players increased net substantially. He said the elimination of the re- 12.5 serve system would result in "the stronger teams getting stronger and the weaker teams getting testi- weaker." He said the same results were to be ex- pected in the case of most modifications that had been suggested during the three previous weeks of the trial. Jay Topkis, acting for the absent Flood in the absence of Arthur Goldberg, his chief counsel, cross examined Dr. Clark who said "a player, to- ward the end perhaps after 15 years might have something to s a y" about rejecting a proposed trade. ounty The cross examination of Dr. Clark will con- hock- tinue Tuesday. Rebuttal witnesses to be called by New Flood include Marvin Miller, executive director com- of the Major League Baseball Players Associa- Stew- tion, and Dick Moss, the nation's counsel. Bill Veeck, former big league clubowner who now op- orted erates a New England race track, will be the last and witness Wednesday when the case is scheduled argu- to end. house Dr. Clark testified that the average cost of de- toxi- veloping a player was $316,000 and that only sev- en per cent of those signing professional con- ar as tracts make it to the big leagues. ffice Asked what made baseball a unique operation that needed the reserve system, which binds a efore player to a club for life, Dr. Clark said the extra- Stew- ordinary cost of developing players 25.2 per cent argu- of operating revenue in 1969 made it quite differ- took ent from ordinary business. He also said baseball some owners had an intense desire to win but also ruck" did not want to see the weak get weaker in order to preserve competition. He also said the seven e 40- per cent who made the grade was remarkably was small as compared to at least 50 per cent in most pital, business operations. .. a .

Although the store is scheduled to open in September, because of money shortage textbooks will not be sold until the winter term. 'U' bookstorfe to replace MUG The Michigan Union Grill (the Mug),which has been los- ing money on food sales for the past several years, will be the home of the University book- store. Last week, workmen b e g a n tearing down the fixtures in the MUG to accommodate the bookstore, a task which is ex- pected to be completed by Aug. 1. The store is scheduled to open one month later as students be- gin to trickle back onto campus. However, the store will not begin to sell textbooks until the winter term, according to Thomas Brown, assistant direc- tor of student-community rela- tions. Brown, a member of the stu- dent - faculty - administration board which will run the book- store, attributes the delay in textbooks sales to the lack of the capital necessary for the textbook purchases. In addition, Brown says, the manager for the store is not expected to a r r i v e until late July, "a month and a half after the textbook orders should have been in." When they are finally placed on sale, textbooks may be sold at their normal retail price, Beginning with this i s s u e and throughout the remainder of the summer, The Daily will be publishing in tabloid form.

The store's manager will be Louis Hahl currently manager of the bookstore at the Univer- sity of California at Santa Bar- bara.
