There's no news ...
...so we wrote this
By BILL ALTERMAN and LEE KIRK
TH1E DAYS when news from' the wide world of sports came
from just the playing fields apparently have died unnoticed.
I can't say I'll miss them.
The dust has settled on the football strike and the exhi-
bition season got underway marred only by an abundance of
rookies at a few games, and finally the view is clear enough to
make some sense out of reason that the players walked out.
There are few more dangerous occupations than play-
ing football. Injuries are frequent and in many cases they
can end a career before it begins. Deaths due to football
injuries have occured even at the pro level. Players who play
pro football deserve compensation from on the job injur-
ies just like everyone else: Basically, the players struck for
security.
Despite its glorification by alumni and the mass eye of
television, college football is played by college students. (The-
oretically) these athletes go to class and are involved in student
activities and protests just like you and I. Last year, at several
colleges notably Washington, Wyoming and Indiana, the foot-
ball coach got into a dispute with his black athletes.-
Many coaches apparently feel that a player has sold his
mind and body to the team when he joins. It is their belief
that any activity detrimental to their glorified image as an ath-
lete, is reason enough for their dismissal. It is the image of a
player long dead but still beating in the hearts of a few "old-
school" coaches.
So far Bo Schembechler has handled this type of prob-
lem wisely and discretely. When middle guard Henry Hill
was placed on probation for his activities during the BAM
strike, Schembechler was astute enough to separate Hill
the tackler from Hill the black.
This fall, however, things may become more complicated.
In March there was no conflict for black striking athletes. Dur-
ing the upcoming football season though, the possibility lurks
that some sort of protest will be in order when the Regents are
forced to deal once again with the BAM demands. It will be
interesting to follow the actions of both the coach and the
players if and when such action is necessary.
Michigan's misinformed Minnesota maniac continues in his
daring belief that, despite dropping three in a row to Oakland,
the-Twins will arise victorious in the American League's West-
ern division and furthermore, revenge last year's debacle against
Baltimore by sweeping the Orioles three straight in the fall. In
the World Series, he further predicts, the gallant darlings of
the Midwest will go on to whip the vaunted Big Red Machine.
Motes from the underground: The Tigers will not win it
this year. Surprise, surprise, surprise! Only a little more
than three weeks ago, they were three games back, but since
then, everything that could go wrong has. The one-two
punch of Willie Horton and Jim Northrup werebsidelined
with leg injuries, and even though Northrup is back and
ripping the ball, the Tigers are dead without Horton. Wil-
lie's ankle injury is now said to be much worse than first
thought, and rather than risk further damage, the Tigers
will probably keep him out for the rest of the season.
Another factor in the Detroit demise has been the rever-
sion of the bullpen to its early season form. Through June and
most of July, the firemen didn't lose a game. Without a con-
sistent starter in sight, the Tigers suddenly have found them-
selves with no consistent hurler. Maybe they should have canned
Mayo Smith instead of Johnny Sain.
It occurs to us . . .
All of you intrepid basketball fans on the hill are going to
have a rough time of it trying to dribble the ball from hoop to
hoop on the decidedly soft and slow court known as Palmer
Field. Aside from serving no useful purpose, the backboards are
a curse to all dedicated frisbee players who consider Palmer
Field their home turf. (Maybe they're making plans to pave the
field over?) Oh well, it will make the post pattern a reality for
football games up there.
That the athletic department has a lot of gall to charge
students 25 cents per hour to use the tennis courts next to
the IM Building while the courts on Palmer Field are free.
Students line the athletic department purse enough as it is,
and the cost of maintaining the tennis court cannot be as
large as, say, keeping the pools filled with clean water and
manned with lifeguards.
It is also galling to be charged by the hour. Tennis isn't
played by the hour, and charging for it that way is like paying
the president a. salary determined by the number of bills he
signs.
Ere I end some beautiful friendships, I would like to say
that. the Athletic Department is doing a whale of a Job with
their free summer recreation program. The thousands of kids
and the coaches working with them are having a ball, as it
were.
As you doubtless can imagine from this trivial column, the
two of us are exceedingly bored. If anyone out there cares to
give us some companionship, feel free to drop in anytime at

Kent, Ohio; Jackson, Miss.; Lawrence,
Kan.-the death toll in the nation's uni-
versity cities continues to rise as the
year progresses, and as the deaths mount,
the question more and more in the minds
of many University students has become,
"Can it happen in Ann Arbor?"
Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny
says it could. "The answer to that ques-
tion is always an unknown," he says. "It's
very unlikely, but it could be a possi-
bility.
"When you go into a total situation,
you're worried about someone losing his
cool. You can't always control the human
mind," Krasny adds.
Krasny says, however, the experience
of most of Ann Arbor's patrolmen lessens
the likelihood of shootings during a stu-
dent disturbance at the University.
"When you have trained officers, you
don't really have to worry about it hap-
pening. The problem arises when you
bring in auxiliary units, who are usually
inexperienced, untrained and poorly
briefed," Krasny explains.
Krasny notes the problem with using
auxiliaries is in "choice of assignment.
They should be given traffic duties," he
says. "It's when they are given other
tasks that the problems arise. There is
a tendency when you're not properly"
briefed to react only to what you see and
The police chief says he could visualize
a shooting occurring in Ann Arbor only
"if there's positive evidence that police
are being shot at."
Even then, he says the firing would nc
be haphazard. "In such a situation v
would return fire only with a highly
skilled squad, and definitely not into a
crowd."
Krasny says the Kent State shooting
did not prompt any special action on the,
part of the Ann Arbor Police Dept. "We
have sent men to specialized schools to
come back and retrain men, but often the
training has not been suited to our prob-
lems."
However, Krasny says he is interested
in some of the techniques developed by
the Berkeley, Calif. police for quelling
riots.
The Berkeley police ° have obtained
wooden pellet and bean bag guns, which
will be used in place of conventional fire-
arms. These devices are supposed to in-
flict little more harm than tear gas.
"We're looking into it," Krasny says,
"but we don't anticipate using them now.
The division of _ police authority on
campus has come in for- severe criticism
from students because jurisdiction is split
between the Ann Arbor Police Dept., the
Washtenaw County Sheriff's Dept. and
the State Police. Krasny, however, feels
this is a minor consideration.
a business-like manner," he says. "If
you're operating under a central control,
as we have ususally done in the past,
there should be no problem. If you get
an individual leader who goes off on his
own, then you'll have problems."
Krasny says the University administra-
tion has always cooperated with the po-
lice and adds that the appointment of
Col. Fredrick Davids to the newly-create.,
post of Director of Safety at the Univer-
